ATM Robbery

I received this tip. If it is true, the police maybe able to help if they're fast enough.

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN number in reverse order. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you. This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists. Please pass this along to everyone possible.

Take care.

Lots of thanks to Eyna for helping clear this out all the way from Germany! The tip above is not true. See Eyna's comment for links about this legend.

The Pineapple and the Volcano

On Helen's second day, we brought her to see the houses for sale near Laguna Technopark. We took the longer route along Tagaytay-Santa Rosa road so that we can pass by Tagaytay ridge to let her see Taal Volcano and the pineapple plantations there.

The lonely pineapple

In Santa Rosa, we checked the Italian inspired model house of Crown Asia's 10-hectare Valenza project. Next stop was the enormous 230-hectare Cathay Land project called South Forbes Golf City. Final stop was Don Bosco church to attend mass before going home.
