some Filipinos can be real bad neighbours

I think it is just where you live at the moment tiger. I have been to the dreaded mindinao as some people label it and I have'nt had a problem. Not all places are like that. As been said you cant choose your neighbors. It can be just as bad here and like mick c said its not easy to get a complaint recognised here. You have to make diaries and logs. It could take ages for the council to take action and in some cases if the problem is with one of our ethnic minority friends you have little or no chance of resolving the problem.

lol I like the way you put that (our little ethnic friends) well mick had a bad time too, but back home I would sort the problem myself if you know what I mean ,I don,t wait for the namby pamby brigade to come along with their clip boards .but here in the philippines I know life is cheap and for very little money you can be bumped off ,so I keep myself to myself stay out of any disputes at all costs .I want to see good ol blighty again safe n sound

You wont win tiger taking the law into your own hands. You would get done for assault. However you can get bumped off here too for a price. But I do agree with what you say (keep yourself to yourself) When I am there I only go out with my wife and stepkid in the city. If I want a bit of socialising we tend to go with her friends who know the locals. And I never show off. My wife has the money for our outings and I never wear gold. I just try to look and behave in a sensible manner. I find if your respectable to them they will respect you. A smile and saying Hi costs nothing.
