Of Filipino Street signs

This mine is becoming a travelogue and a dog lovers chronicle. Maybe I should start changing this to masayangasotakbongtakbo…or kaladkaringtuta. Hehehee!

Anyway, I always travel a lot and have been doing that extensively for the whole year of this year and last year. I am always on the lookout for quirky and trippy signs to make the road trips less boring. Here are just some that I do remember and they are really funny!

ROAD CLOSE (This is a fairly common sign that I would see. It can also refer to closed shops and buildings. So you have to be close to the road....?)


We specialzED in (what did you specialize in before this one?)

Agri. Office in Batangas: “Sa A.I. Walang Aray!” (AI is artificial Insemination)

Hardware in Koh Samui: Supot Hardware Store (Filipino men wouldn’t be caught dead buying “hardware” there…get it? Hardware?...never mind. For my Caucasian friends supot in tagalog means ehrmm…uncircumcised)

Bawal nga magaehi nga detu! (in other words pissing here is not allowed, ang kulit mo eh!)

Bell Gates’s Computer School (school in Sorsogon City)

Please Save our Trees, Our Children Love them! (Road sign in Quezon Province, I’m not sure if the children love to eat them…)

CRABS FOR SALE (sign near UPLB, hmmm so this is where you get crabs…never mind ive got a dirty mind hahahahah!)
