Speaking only for myself...
Manila is going through some difficult times as is an effort to forbid discussion by anyone outside the Lion school district. We all have the basic desire see our kids have a good education and anything within reason should be provided by our local school system. No one is wishing anything on someone else's kids they wouldn't wish upon their own. If people seem curious as to the reasons for kids moving and whole families relocating, then it's only natural.
Nothing sinister intended from this end.
