Re: [talk-ph] Philippines first gps2go recipient

2009-01-15 Thread maning sambale 
Just an update on our OSM Phillipines gpstogo grant.  I have received
a notice from our local post office that the package is ready for
pick-up.  Customs duty and other taxes amounts to more than php 4,000!
 The customs personnel said he can help me "negotiate" the amount.
Crap!  I won't shell out any of my hard earned money for a "lagay"!

In the meantime, I will save some money to pay the legal custom
duties.  But for those interested in using the units,  you can now
start the reservation request:

Or if anybody is willing to share the load, drop me a line. :D

I suspect the reason will be that Boracay is in as an island and the Namefinder 
service is not yet searching place=island - the service is down right now so I 
cannot confirm that.  When it comes up, try 'hotels near Malay"

Feb 7 is much better with me. Makati or Ortigas is also fine with me.
