When I was on the island of Palawan I witnessed something quite disturbing. I was standing on a road adjacent to the bench. There were many people around, it was almost a makeshift village on the docks. I was waiting for our boat and an 'aso' (that is a Filipine street-dog) walked passed me. I didn't pay it any mind till I saw something in my peripheral vision. It still send shivers through my skin, the dog was missing half of it's skull. The brain was visible and infested with maggots. This wouldn't not have bothered me if it was simply a dead dog lying on the ground but this thing was very much alive and nonchalantly walking through the street.
