😄..apparently some people don't like to taste their own medicine.
If the member wanted to complain about customer service in Panama he could have written his own post about it instead of throwing shade on a good story, imo.
Extranjeros relating positive experiences with Panamanians on this site are not nearly as common as criticisms.

wouldn't it be great if more Panamanian retailers understood this.
..and wouldn't it be great if a story about a positive cultural experience could stand without being used as an opportunity to criticize.

There is an article in LaPrensa today June 29th stating that the Panamanian Border Police SENAFRONT and the SNM Immigration Service are backed up down at the last outpost in the Darien Gap. There are 70 Cubans there at the moment and about 130 people of East Indian origin just arrived. There are only 120 beds.

Dumping a scrap car out by the street and selling it by the piece doesn't seem like appropriate activity for a recycling centre.

My haircutter, whom I need to visit, is in the peachy local to the north.

So, the question is, what do we do about this problem?
In my opinion, there should be NO disposable cans or bottles. We buy sodas and beer by the case in returnable bottles.
It’s less expensive and helps the cause.
Why would I want to pay extra for something only to throw it away?

Now that we are down to one incident reporting service is it likely that more (any) statistical information will be made available?

The party just keeps on going.
This is the biggest and most well organized Independence Day(s) celebration I can remember.
Possibly due to more support from the ATP Tourism Authority than in previous years.
Many more photos and videos here: https://www.facebook.com/lujamluz?hc_ref=ARRjG6VLEZPQQqB6H3oUdfNfx1KtLi-j-4getgFVrtWXYp90ITuZPr8I-mwhtMqLxWU&fref=nf

My Panamanian Son-In-Law spent 20 days in China last year promoting tourism for Boquete/Panama. This year he spent 20 days in Japan doing the same thing. He and another person were sent there by the Government Of Panama.
A different program, perhaps.
The folks I'm referring to were invited to visit China by the Peoples Republic through Dr. Alfonso Mou.

It seems like it's been a long time since we've seen any public updates from either of the entities handling emergency incident reports, specifically Alto Al Crimen and Rodny Direct.
Any statistics on the number and nature of calls received and the type of response that was required?
Is the incidence of local criminal activity up or down, etc.?
Looks like the neither of the emergency service outfits are going to supply the community with any criminalistic data.
Is it because there's been no activity, they're not coordinating with Police for information, or just don't want to share?

They'll get in. Hunger and love are big motivators.

We attended the 5:00 p.m show last night and got more than got our money's worth. Saw quite a few other members of the expat community there enjoying themselves too.
A hard working troupe of performers made sure that no one left the big top without a smile.

The book is a terrific read for non-fiction and a real eye opener when it was published.

There is another very good article on the General's death, in Spanish, on the Panama Vieja Escuela website.

Agreed.
A visit to their home within a dog shelter will tell you all you need to know.
