Ha, this is common here in BF Resort Las Pinas (BFRV LP)! The older folk around here say BFRV LP is not what it used to be and damn are they right.

What kind of "decent" subdivision like BFRV LP allows vendors inside, aswell as salesmen, squatter kids (and adults too) etc...

#1 The guards are totally useless here!
#2 Due to the Friendship route, anybody can pass here, all they need to do is print the Friendship sticker off the internet (illegally) and stick it to their car!

Our street has encountered a few akyat bahay gangs in the past, so a homeowners association was formed and we all chipped in a few hundred pesos a month to have our own guard on our street. Aba! After a few months, it came to a stop. We asked el presidente of the homeowners association why, he said, not enough people are paying on the street! This pisses me off but what can we do? Our fellow neighbors can afford their Fortuners/Starex's/Everests but can't cough up a few hundred extra each month to pay for their own security and safety. Hmmm, sometimes it's not an external problem but instead an internal problem.

Anyway, akyat bahay gangs are common here. Sometimes we just gotta fend for ourselves and be alert 24-hours! No wonder my car insurance hasn't gone down much....
