In other countries it is nice to have small talk.
But here in the Philippines, small talk is sometimes not right.
This is called Chismis.
It's not easy to avoid. Especially if you want to know or hear. But sometimes there are other people who don't need to talk. Often there is even a pest.
When you look at the corners of the village or square you are a lot of piles. Especially purely female. But there are men like that, too. There it is.
When I was a child I saw some of this. Even I sometimes can't avoid it.
I just want to point out here, that it is well known. There is no need to spread or change the content. Especially if it is not that important.
Many people endanger themselves, their families and their lives.
Let's be smart.
only in the Philippine lang maraming chismosa at chismoso pangit o maganda ang ginawa pinag uusapan padin kya better wag pansinin
