I think I know why my landlord has not gotten in touch with me yet after I complained about having many people in the condo’s hall.
Let me backtrack a little bit. As I said in my last post, there have been many people outside my door, lining up to buy vitamins from the office next door. Things have gotten a bit worse since then. They have put benches along the hallway, where people wait their turn to buy these confounded vitamins. So now, there are people sitting on both sides of the hall whenever I leave or arrive home, and I have to undergo their scrutiny and have their eyes follow me as I enter/exit my room.
They are also very noisy. I hear these people talking loudly, and sometimes they bring along their children who run up and down the hallway, banging on the walls as they go.
Because of this turn of events, I have had to make a few household purchases. First, I bought a divider that I set up by my door, so as to limit what the people outside can see of my room. Two, I bought and installed extra locks and a peephole on my door. Since my landlord was not doing anything to improve the situation, I figured I should do what I could to protect my privacy and enhance my security.
Now, one of the voices I often hear outside my door is that of a man, who seems to be the head salesperson of the vitamins that they are peddling. One day, I heard him give his sales spiel to an old woman. “Lola, sa tulong ng vitamins na ito, gagaling ang almoranas ninyo. (Grandma, with the help of these vitamins, your hemorrhoids will be cured.)” This was a very intriguing claim, so I listened on.
“Maraming sumusuporta sa produktong ito (Many people support this product),” he explained. “Yung isa sa mga sponsor nito ay si Judge ——–, lolo ni —- ——– (One of the sponsors of this product is Judge ——–, grandfather of —- ——– [a popular actress]).”
That’s how I discovered the reason behind the non-action of my landlord after my complaint. Judge ——–, aside from being one of the vitamins’ backers, is also my landlord.
