Funny signs in Kalibo

My wife and I were in Kalibo, Aklan from January 31 to February 2. For a more convenient travel, we took the Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight from Manila to Kalibo and then back. At the airports of Manila, Kalibo and Legazpi (which we visited also recently), we noticed this tarpaulin from PAL which warns against the use of mobile phones while on a plane.

Please remember that when you ask a friend to take it easy on the wheel, you tell him or her to drive safely. If PAL wants to provide some well-meaning safety tips, it should tell the public to “fly safely.”

Walking on a major thoroughfare in Kalibo after a very long lecture, I really cannot help but share this directional sign with you.

Please trust me when I say that an airpot in Kalibo is no different from the ones used in other parts of the world. The “airpot” refers to the place where an “airplan” lands, okay?

At a cathedral, we noticed this funny sign:

08-0201-cath2

Correct me if I’m wrong: The message of the sign is that you cannot enter if you’re too close (to what, I don’t know!), and that you should remove the four wheels of your vehicle to save on precious parking space.

Anyway, there’s another sign outside the church that caught our attention:

08-0201-cath1

This sign simply means that there is no limit to…sorry, I did not stick around to find out.

One of the must-sees in Kalibo is the Sampaguita Gardens. We went around the place and I noticed that there is something ungrammatical about its slogan.

08-0131-sg1
08-0131-sg2

As you know, there is a difference between “everyday” and “every day.” The former is used as an adjective; for example, “Christmas is an everyday season at Sampaguita Gardens.”

That’s all for now. Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you.

  1. hi. i think “everyday” is an adverb.

    but the posts are really funny : )

    Reply: Thank you for your comment. We should know, however, that the Concise Oxford Dictionary (9th edition) classifies “everyday” as an adjective. All the best. Cheers!
