Only in the Philippines!

my cousin Paul and i were at the Philippine Navy Hospital while waiting for my lola's discharge papers when we saw this improvise orocan wheelchair! with two mountain bike and two stroller wheels! i guess the government cannot fully support the needs of the hospital that is why they just made one for their use... tsk, tsk, tsk... it's just so unfair seeing all those corrupt government official having all the luxuries you can think of while the government hospitals doesn't even have one descent wheelchair for the patients. good thing Pinoy ingenuity is still at its finest.

you think that's the hospital's official wheelchair? Baka naman pasyente ang may ari & walang pambili? Very entreprising.

that's interesting. clever idea, if owned by a patient. if owned by the hospital, they should provide better service =D

am torn between being impressed and sad... kasi it does speak of ingenuity, but it also suggests inability to get the real thing...
