Filipino village Dynamics
The Chismosas/Chismosos

Are attention-seeking gossip spreaders who sometimes make-up information about their neighbors for GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON!!!
Actually have bad-rep in the community. Thrives in front of sari-sari stores. Are usually the MEMAS (may masabi lang) parents in PTA meeting.
The Passive Neighbors
Estimated population: 60%
Are the people who don't care about you and your life, but tries to be neutral about everything. They usually have flower/vegetable garden that they protect with their lives.
They are the favorite victims of the Chismosas/Chismosos because of their passiveness. Fellow passive neighbors know better than believe these lies for they have a network in the frontyard association. They are usually the people who say, "ah ganun ba" when the chismosa/chimoso is telling the latest chismis, which they hardly care about.

Slightly rich nuvorich who think they are the better people in their village. Refuses to partake in the village politics, and do not usually come out of their comfortable abode.
Carry Chanel or Guess bags at PTA meetings. Do not speak, but volunteer in bringing the lechon and leche flan for the PTA christmas party.
