Philippines : What have you become?

Today I came to hate some of the most scenic part of the Philippine Capital!

Me and to of my taiwanese friend and co/worker we're indulge in a short but scam full of ride around Luneta, from a kalesa instead of going to Ocean Park first, we were brought to a shooting range somewhere in Ermita, Manila just across a police station - as agreed upon 50 peso per bullet and we realize later after there were serious hidden charges - for the range usage and another for ever piece of gun used. And this was the one that caught most of my attention before us there was like 3 Filipina who went to have such experience but they have much more bad luck than we do paying 20,000 peso " Wth"...

Guess i counted only 16 bullets and we were charge with 24 bullets since they were given a vintage 9mm Assault weapon.... I have never felt so ashamed to have a part filipino blood in me than today. I didnt argue that much since am in a closed facility of gun, but my disgust is overwhelming that day that my friends the "visitors" was the one to calm me down - they say it happen and its an experience we will bring back to our country.
