ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Mar. 26, 2013)- An apartment, converted into a shop selling Chinese decors, has occupied this sidewalk in the village of Tumaga in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines.
But despite this vulgar and illegal use of the sidewalk being a public domain, government authorities fail to act on this glaring violation of the law.
It was not immediately known whether the shop has a government permit, but it also doubles as a “feng shui” center where customers pay a certain amount of money to a purported seer or fortune teller to know about their future. (Mindanao Examiner)
