I wonder

I used to read this guy's article in the newspaper simply because some of his stories are thought provoking and somewhat rather controversial. One of his articles lately is written with a hook not that tender but quite makes you think twice about the country.

Anyway, how long for an eye specialist, optometrist to have an eyeglasses made for a certain customer? Will it take months, weeks or days? Will it take two hours to fit a certain frame or lens just for one customer?

In the Philippines, my Mother, my sister and I had our eye check up, eye glasses and frames and lens fixed in just barely two hours. Three of us had our eyeglasses on as soon as we leave the eye specialist's office. One pair of eyeglasses is worth P1,000. And you can choose your brand name design or make for those frames. You can have Ray-ban, Oakley or Remington. Whatever brand you want but the service is simply good and well deserving. They don't cheat you with the time and service and most of all they are not corrupt. They wont let you pay for waiting for so many days because they are good at their chosen career. They have the right equipment, they wont let you wait for weeks because they have the frames, the lenses and correcting lenses and knowledgeable people who work to keep your eyesight better.

Here I don't know where they have to get the lenses? And the frames? They have to wait hours and days. It's all BS! Then when it's payment time? It's like you've been hold-up and kidnapped! It's like paying for a trip to the Bahamas without ticket to get back home. Tsk! Tsk and you wonder are they really optometrist or a clan of Patty Hearst?

Truth be told.
