Loud music irks neighbor

THE EAR - The Freeman
April 2, 2020 | 12:00am

At a compound in Barangay Punta Princesa with many apartments, the sound of Bon Jovi was dominating the airwaves yesterday. One renter went out to speak to her neighbor (not the one playing the loud music): "Nganong saba man diha, naay nag-concert?"

The other replied that it was probably their neighbor's way of breaking the monotony now that the quarantine is taking a full swing. To which, the other replied sarcastically: "Aw, abi nakog mao nay makapatay sa COVID ang saba."
