who are you?

i went out to close our water pipe at 3:26 a.m. yesterday, november 2, and, before going back to bed, looked out our balcony as is my wont.  'twas still dark and was i surprised to see a police car and two police motorcycles in our alley!


one of the motorcycle policemen was near this guy who was putting on his helmet and apologizing to the policeman saying he went out a while earlier  ->  "sorry, sir, lumabas kasi ako kanina."   the policeman handed him a small piece of paper and then all four vehicles (the police's plus the guy's motorcycle) left.

i've told some other neighbor this years back:  i can hear their conversations from my bed! 🤦‍♀️

at around 2:52 a.m., i was in bed and i overheard one of the neighbor's guests saying they were issued a ticket near the auto repair shop a couple of blocks away.  the girl was saying her companion gave [the ticketing officer] a different name!

uuuhhh!!!

i don't know what procedures the authorities follow when issuing tickets but there should be a way to establish the real identity of ticket recipients.  it would be dangerous to just accept whatever name people say.  that name might just correspond to a real and innocent person.
