Noise Pollution in The Philippines

This post is about my expat's friend Jan from The Netherlands and his observations about noice, sounds, and music in the Philippines - a very welcome addition to my foregoing post about dog barking. 

Have you wondered (Jan asks), why Filipinos in general speak in loud voices? And why they all speak at the same time? Have you ever attended a real Philippine party where many Filipinos are? Did you notice that Philippine television and radio are mostly (?) loud?

Questions, questions, questions... and, a lot of answers are here:

And so I do!

Dog Owner in Davao City Told to Shut up Dogs or Move Them out!

Living in the Philippines is really wonderful. Loving dogs, my family and I are having also some pets. The dogs in our neighborhood have been really disturbing since more a year. I wish to thank Vice Mayor Rudy Duterte for mentioning the problem in our neighborhood in Bajada, Davao City in this weekly TV program.

General Santos City - Unsolved Killings Here?

 

Concerned with the rising unsolved cases of killings here and the neighboring areas, Mindanao Development Authority chair person Secretary Luwalhati Antonio has pushed for the assignment of additional policemen in the area. 

Antonio, who hails from this city, said in a radio interview that the recent killings perpetrated by motorcycle-riding gunmen were considered alaring and showed the need for more intensified law enforcement and security operations.

She specifically cited the killing of local newspaper publisher Christopher Guarin and of city traffic enforcer Oliver Dayap.

God bless Mindanao and the Philippines!

A Dream in Davao...

to materialize this New Year 2012....

To all his friends and benefactors of Davao City, Father Franco wishes a Blessed and Happy New Year. He hopes this is the year, that shall him fulfill his long-cherished dream in Buda on behalf of the Indigenous Youth.

Fr. Franco is a Salesian of Don Bosco and is about to start taking care of 45 "lumad" youths/children, starting this May 2012.

He has decided to start, trusting as usual, in Davao providence, the good hearted people in Davao City and its surroundings. One of the many concerns he has to face ia the preparation of the daily meals and other needs. The help promised by European donors for this project, is hard to come, because Europe has its economic and financial problems.

There's also another way for sponsoring the "cause" of Father Franco, as I was able to learn during my last visit in Buda. Try to buy the gourmet products he himself has designed and produced to be able to support this project, Just visit "Pasalubong Center, Palma Gil Street, People's Park, Davao City" or, find time to take fresh breath along with your family and friends and come up to Buda tp Father Franco's place.

I am also glad to give you more information. Kindly contact me.

God bless you all!
