Here in the Philippines, there is no such thing as disturbance of the peace. People here would just party at night until the wee hours in the morning with their videoke machine set to it's loudest. They don't care if people get some sleep as long as they have the time of their lives in their merry making. This was the case in our village last night; because of it, I didn't really get to sleep much. I can hear the bad singing until 3:00am so I decided to call the Baranggay Tanods (village police) hoping that they would put an end to the music from hell. To my dismay, they didn't ask them to call it quits, they just asked the party goers to keep it down. This is totally unacceptable!
Why do people have to start a party late at night and disturb the good people who are already in bed? From what I noticed, it was the local gang members who were having a party and the baranggay are to afraid to restrain them. A bunch of cowards that's what they are. They can't do their jobs well. Most Filipinos are not considerate of their neighbors. I say this because it happens everywhere, not just here in our village. The holidays is not a reason for out of control merry making just like what these people are doing.
