I woke up an hour ago and check the news for a bit and then I heard movements. I thought it was livestock that lost it's way, turns out it's the fucking neighbor went inside the territory without asking for permission with his sickle in his hand.

I could have escalated by waiting for the right moment, got out with my bolo, use body language so that he moves to use his sickle to defend and then I counter. Easy to do that. Or I could bring this shit to barangay and possibly escalate into a case.

I got out instead and gave this man a warning first. First warning and took his ID's and got a picture. I am not a bad guy so I won't escalate immediately but a warning is in place. Told this guy he can't just get inside our territory without asking for permission.

Then he told me he knew my mother and my mom's de facto husband, still that does not give him excuse to get inside without permission. Next time it will end in a bolo fight.

So the guy gave his apologies and said he thought there was no person around and offered me services to clean the area. Not bad as I hate the frogs that kept vocalizing during rains that I had to put earplugs so I can sleep 🤣.

So an agreement is made, that he will clean my area tomorrow morning in exchange for a small fee.

People are stupid.
