A nation of nosy neighbors

THE EAR - The Freeman

December 4, 2015 | 9:00am

FRANCE. A housewife once told her husband that the Paris attack would not have happened had France hired Filipinos for intelligence work.

NOSY. She said "Seriously, Pinoys are good at gathering information. Take our neighbor, for instance. She is so good at this work that "she knows exactly what we are having for dinner, how old I am, how much I spend for everything. F-k that."

FIREWALL. The wife is thinking of building a firewall between her and her neighbor's house.
