To be straight about this. The Filipino’s like loud music and TV. They love it but remember these things are still new to them it wasn’t that many years ago they didn’t have them. My wife bought her families first TV and Stereo in 2001. And many Filipino Families still don’t have these things. We have always had them. It has become part of their culture. People hear this and think oh they have things, they are prosperous. If you’re wife is a little fat they think you’re rich because you can afford to feed her. You can go to the local barangay and see little children standing in front of other people’s homes watching TV because they still don’t have one in their home. Life is very hard for many people they have few luxuries. Remember eating more than once a day for many is a luxury. We have had them for so many years we have a proper and improper way to use them. Bus drivers or as I like to call them kamikazes buses just watch out and stay out of their way. Like the electrical Items, motorized vehicles are new items. So you know where I am going with that. I not saying all Filipinos are like this. Now the rich and educated Filipinos live in housing areas for the rich and educated they don’t deal with these problems. If you want to live with the regular Filipino’s you will have to live as they do even some of them don’t like it but there is nothing that can be done. This is just my opinion.
