Thumping Bass Music in the Philippines
One thing that I have found interesting this time I came to the Philippines is the music. Everywhere I go it seems people are listening to loud thumping disco or house music. We often get the bus and these are sometimes fitted out with big bass speakers with the music cranked up to the max thumping all the way to your destination.

I have never heard a disco version of Hotel California until I came here. Actually sometimes the music is so loud that it could seriously damage your hearing so I often bring ear plugs when getting a bus. But the most dangerous thing on the buses is if you sit too far forward close to the driver as sometimes the horn is extremely loud.
You will also see these big bass speakers and hear the music maxed out so the speakers are rumbling, even blown in Jeepneys too.
We have been to a couple of what they call discos here, they often have house music or remixed popular songs playing and they are also on max bass. They are usually good fun and safe to go to but you need to watch the young drunk men.
I think a lot of people here have lost parts of their hearing as well. We have neighbors who crank their stereo up often from 6.30am in the morning on max bass. That’s when my ear plugs come in handy as the vibrations go right through the house.
