Neighbor kept belittling us and mocked my PWD dad even AFTER the fence issue was settled. Now threatening to have us "removed" from the subdivision
What: We recently got our house turned over through Pag-IBIG in a new subdivision (no HOA yet) and are renovating. Our neighbor built an extension flush against our wall, so I reported it to the subdivision admin. Their engineer confirmed part of it (half the hollow blocks) shouldn't have been built that way.
When: Today
Where: Subdivision
How: Today, we met in person with the admin present. I stayed calm and focused on the fence. I told them it was fine as long as they leave half of it, and they agreed. The issue was settled.
But even after that, they kept attacking us personally:
-They mocked my dad, a registered PWD with glaucoma, asking "Yung tatay mo ba yung duling? Yung bulag?" When I told them he has glaucoma, they laughed together.
-They said they don't want us as neighbors because we're "taga-bukid, at mga ugaling bukid.” For context, my family has tan skin, my dad works as an installer so when he visits our house, he looks ragged. We grew up poor, but we have dignity.
-They said we think too highly of ourselves just because we raised a concern.
-They said the house isn't really ours because it's under a Pag-IBIG loan.
-They said our opinion doesn't matter: "wala kayong pakialam sa pinapagawa namin."
-They recorded us inside our house even after I clearly said I didn't consent. Her reply: "Wala akong pakialam sayo."
-They threatened to file at the barangay and to petition to have us removed from the subdivision because they don't want us as neighbors.
-I kept trying to bring it back to the fence, which was already resolved, but they kept going with insults.
To be fair, our side's mistakes:
-My dad talked to their workers about the construction. He speaks loudly because his teeth are not complete, so they said he was "nagwawala," though he wasn't angry.
-Out of frustration, I said in a message to the admin that they were lying, because their contractor claimed the work went through the office but the admin said it didn't. In short, na-offend sila na sinabihan ko sila na sinungaling.
Previous Attempts / What I've done: filed a blotter about them being aggressive and documented everything.
Questions:
-Can they actually get us removed through a petition, especially with no HOA yet?
-Is mocking my dad's disability a violation under the PWD law (RA 7277/9442)? Is it worth pursuing?
-Is recording us inside our house without consent a violation?
-How do we deal with them from now on?
Thanks in advance.
