Well, that's what my husband told me.. ignore them... but then, ignoring it was not my way of dealing with it i guess.. ignoring them is giving them power ofer you... the whole community must stand up for it... our village in davao has a very strong community spirit and whenever we have problems like this, we don't ignore it and delay action... someone has to teach them a lesson somehow... nip the bud as they say... my husband reported the incident and have asked for regular patrols on our street.. so far, I have seen the coppers around more often than usual.
