Marikina Mayor’s Stupid Rule
The sign above reads as:
Dress up properly.
As a respect for your self, so that others will respect you as well.
Mayor MCF (Marikina City First)
Marides Fernando is one good mayor, i mean her management skills is envied by other mayors. Residents in Marikina can attest to this. Most of them have good words for the mayor. I myself even admire her for the service she did to Marikina.
But there is one rule that i find it really stupid. That sign above.
If you want to get inside the Marikina City Hall, you will have to abide by it. Otherwise, the guard at the entrance will tell to go home and wear something nice.
That rule encourages being judgmental outwardly. It’s like “if you see a person who wears shorts or slippers, disrespect him.”

i don’t think it is what it means… if we look at it on the positive side, it is telling us to look more decent, or proper. or to put it simply, dress accordingly.
We just could not agree on this.
That sign is very much appropriate. It’s being discreet in grooming at an appropriate setting. I think they should do the same for churches. People go to church with their shorts, flip flops, and t-shirts having no dignity nor respect to the occasion. There’s a time and place for everything and being at a place where such rules apply, then it should be met. Appearance matter, and as humans obviously the first thing we see is the way a person looks. Test have been done, that the way a person looks affects the way other people treat him/her. It’s not right, but it’s true. So that’s my argument.
Your opinion is very much welcome Yuri.
The church with rules in outfit is somewhat an oxymoron. In 1 Samuel 16:7 it says “Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.” So that would contradict God’s nature. But sadly, some Catholic churches has this rule now.
Yan ang problema sa Marikina. Inu-una ang porma bago sa substansya. Puro pang mukha ang importante. Kailangan malinis, kailangan bihis, kailangan naka-ngiti. Bawal masungit. Kahit sa ospital na may emergency, bawal naka shorts. Anong klase ba naman yan. Mga robot.
Maganda nga ang kalsada, wala namang mga trabaho ang mga tao. Maganda ang health facility, bawal naman pumasok ang mahirap. Kakadiri ang pagpapangap ng tao dito. Para kaming nasa North Korea. Sobra na.
Anti poor ang policy na yan. Pero wala namang bago dyan dahil talagang anti poor ang mga fernando.
Celso, i agree with you. It is indirectly anti-poor.
naku baguhin na natin ang mentalidad natin, kaya hindi tayu umaasenso. masyadu tayung negatibu palibhasa gusto natin hangang dito nalang.
ayaw natin ng maayus tayu, pwe ang iba kung magsalita makamahirap daw kunu.
