Its widely talked about on expat forums

Hard for us to imagine but folk that get raised in different cultures do learn quiete diferent responces and as I said earlier If you drive a car in the Phils totaly legaly and hit and kill anyone nomatter that they simply stepped out in front of you ,it will be your fault and you will probably be charged with "reckless imprudence" you would be ill advised no matter your concerns for the victim or repugnance at the need to beat a hasty retreat or risk retribution of an immediate nature.
