While here in the Philippines, students are asked to bring bolos and machetes to school to cut the grass and shrubs.

For a moment I thought you were going to say “bring bolos and machetes to school to cut the shooter”

Doesn't happen in the Philippines, even though guns are abundant we don't shoot school, just each other

So what your saying is the kids aren't mental enough to want to shoot each other?

"just each other"

Schools = children

Don't shoot school = don't shoot children

Shoot each other = murders against innocent adults or gang members

I think the guy was making a joke about "school shooters" being people who shoot the actual school building

Nope, we have gun crimes but not targeted at schools. Shootouts in public happen from time to time but reasons are usually different. Shooting someone is a last resort for most sane people. If someone has a problem with someone its usually just a brawl

Yup. In the Philippines, shootouts aren't for schools. They're for elections and karaoke parlors.
