Barangay Captain experience

There are plenty of Filipino's that generally don't like the noise, but for some reason accept it as a fact of Filipino life. I wonder why??

 

They don't want a conflict with their neighbors.

 

Filipino people generally are very reluctant to complain, ever. Whether it is noise, corruption, long waiting lines, political scandals, minimum wage increases barely compensating inflation, bad schools, whatever, they don't complain.
Obviously part of the reason for accepting whatever negative experiences is that a life is rather cheap here. Live and let live, literally.
Sadly the lack of protest is also a big part of why nothing really changes here, keeping the country backward.
With the right policies and an engaged population this country could move to become a developed nation within two decades, but I doubt it will happen.

 

I must admit that I was not aware of this "wife swap" facility.

If anyone is willing, so am I. I am hoping for a modern laptop or perhaps a motor bike.

There are lots of jokes available in replies ... so

 

Perhaps Einstein's Island could be up for sale. It's similar to Epstein's Island but the largest organ of the people who went there is the brain.

 

My goodness wish I had your problem's.
We have to our back pigs several of them. A rooster and chicken farm about 40 roosters.
To our left more chickens and roosters though these are free range and some wonder on our land our dogs chase these.
Goats a local brings these to graze, carabaos these are loud specially at night. 14 years ago it was a lot quieter, never complained once. Only time I saw the captain to complain was about a builder who scamed us.

 

That will mean Filipinos are excluded then? and many other English speaking nationalities, I guess there will be plenty of the Scots there?

 

Actually I know full well you do not mean this, that wuman 'O' yours is a wee cracker, quite stunningly beautiful if truth be told, how she ever fell for an ugly primate like you is beyond me?

 

I get your point Dave.

So perhaps the laptop AND the bike?

 

Ah reckon ‘cause o’ the stooshie wi’ the Scots patter, they all ended up doon at Epstein’s.
