hello teacher julie,

i am glad i came accross your site. i will be starting my masters degree in special education in a university here in metro manila next week. as early as now, im thinking of my graduate’s thesis…. i just want to make sure that this project of mine will benefit parents, families and educators who are also passionate and dedicated in this endeavor.

They are an incredible illusion but yes, I bet they are dangerous too!

THey do sound dangerous in high winds. Happy weekend

Goodness Julie they are huge and not only that but an eyesore on the landscape.

Happy weekend to you Julie

Aloha Julie,
I agree with you–I think those billboards are dangerous. Where I live in Hawaii we don’t have those type of advertisement.
Thank you for stopping by my PH post!!

We don’t have many of those over here – I can’t remember seeing any at all lately.

Agree with you Julie. Besides being dangerous I think they ruin the countryside too. I don’t like seeing billboards everywhere and especially not along the highway!

Say billboards and I’m often reminded of those huge ones along highway when I’m overseas. Mostly holding on ads on cigarettes.
Have a good weekend Julie, see you at the farm *wink*

At a glance I thought they were buildings too.

after typhoon melenio, and there were victims of these billboards, it was only then when the gov’t implemented the law. hayyy…they’re the ones i watch for when i drive under bad weather.

I’ve never seen anything like that before. And I agree it could be dangerous. Thanks for stopping by!

Yeesh! Those ARE big! Thank Goodness we don’t have anything on that scale, here!

Mine are up: http://mudpuddle.wordpress.com/2009/06/06/photohunter-advertisement/

I so agree!!!! The ones in EDSA are worse…not only are they so huge and colorful, some even play commercials. The one by Guadalupe is especially bright so I get silaw every time I pass it

The billboards that block visibility are dangerous. Good post and shot for the theme. Happy weekend.

i agree. do you think we can only find these billboards only in Pinas?

It’s really sad that some people have perished because of such mighty billboards.

Wow — great take on the theme. Happy weekend to you!

Hmm.. it does look like some building from this angle.

Please do drop in my blog to help me in a proper advertisement for a better cause.

Are they dangerous because of the illusion of them being buildings? I think they could block your view! My hunt is up here.

They are certainly unpleasant, but how do they kill people?

Those signs are HUGE! Wow!

I don’t know why our government allowed such thing knowing that hurricanes are so common in our country, billboards are not helping but more on problems during hurricane season.

Is there any car running into those billboards?

I agree. Billboards are all over the streets. They cause visual pollution.
Happy weekend!

Thanks, Jeanette I wish you the best in your endeavor.

yes, especially since we get hurricanes with category 4

yes! and we have category 3 or 4 hurricanes

yes, JMB, and they topple during hurricanes

yes, Cindy, we have category 3 or 4 hurricanes several times a year

That’s good Carin and if I tell you we have hurricanes several times a year, you will wonder why these are built.

These are about other products as well Elaine and we fear them when the typhoons come.

Love your farm

Grabe, ang lalaki no?

yeah and now these are back, bigger and more! haaaayyy….

Oh yes, Sue, and let me say, we have hurricanes several times a year and its hurricane season now.

Lucky you Mudhooks and if I tell you its hurricane season now, yo can just imagine the danger these pose to people.

Yes, and the Bench ads are so distracting, hehehe…

Its not only visibility Carver, these topple during hurricane season which is starting now.

i think so Bing. Or maybe as dangerously as near the road as possible.

yes, Rachel, all for the sake of advertisement.

Yes and these look less than buildings during typhoon season which is basically NOW.

Alice Audrey, these topple over during hurricane season which happens during this month till October

yes, huge but they topple over when the high winds come during hurricane season which starts this month.

There was one along EDSA, no hurricane but it toppled over and people got hurt

no cars running into these but these billboards topple over cars, buildings and people during hurricane season which starts this month.

not just visual pollution but these take lives during hurricane season

Well, there was a building in India which toppled and collapsed. Part of it was shoddy construction but part of it was the weight of the advertising billboards atop it. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=8008363608513855776&ei=jO4rSvfbLpHS-AHvwZy4CQ&q=Surat+collapse+building&hl=en

I noticed those tall, tall billboards, too when we last visited RP and hubby and I thought they were quite hazardous. They even make the place more cramped than it already is.
Thank you for visiting, Julie, even when I can’t. I do appreciate it.

I agree with you, they are dangerous, more so after reading your comment about the hurricane season!!
The beer adverts don’t have any effect on me (I can’t stand beer, lol, I just liked the flags )
