While strolling around in Santa Fe neighborhood (in Bantayan Island – Cebu, Philippines) we spotted this abandoned old, green wooden house with a controversial sign fastened on the wooden window bars. Here is a closer look at this very piquant signboard:
Now brace for the English Translation below:
This is not the house of immorality.
Do not use this (house) for sex purposes.
(You) thick face; learn to have some manners!
If caught, you will be reported to the police.
Woh, this seems to be a very serious warning! But the last sentence I can’t make a sense out of it. It looks like they have shortcut it but sagubang should mean to cope, handle or go through? As well as I don’t know what LAO stands for? If you are a Cebuano/Bisaya and you know what these mean, kindly email me at dutchedpinay dot gmail dot com and I will correct accordingly. Thanks!
