This old American saying that says "good fences make good neighbors" made an Indian national wondered aloud why in heaven's name is he not a beneficiary to this time-tested dictum.
The predicament of Satish Nair, an Indian national who is still euphoric of the opening of the family-owned Grand Luis Lodge in Dauis, Bohol broke into the open after he can't take it anymore the
threats and harassment of his neighbor, Dr. Doloreich Dumaluan.
Seeking the help of Mayor Benedicto Alcala he asked the town executive "what is the way forward" to solve his problem.
Nair said his problem with Dr. Dumaluan started when he fenced his property located beside the Dumaluan Beach Resort .
On two occasions Friday , a Post reporter was sent to the area to get the side of the former mayor only to be told that he was in Manila.
Just as he thought that by fencing the property he will end up to be a good neighbor, Nair woke up one morning seeing the fenced beach-front lot tied with three man-biting dogs.
According to his recollection, it was Dumaluan's men who allegedly constructed a shed inside his property to shelter the dogs which the Indian national described as ferocious.
The property which his wife Jacinta has inherited from his father, the late Luis Lorejo, was claimed by Dumaluan as his explaining his behavior towards the lot. The former mayor has expressed interest to buy the property or swap to another lot he owns but the lady Lorejo was adamant.
The Nairs who are out of the country this time was planning to develop the beach front area into a budget hotel but the plan went kaput when Dumaluan put a shed in it along with the three dogs as if guarding against "intruders."
In his SOS to Mayor Alcala, Nair said his ordeal with his neighbor started when the former mayor started the construction of his beach resort.
Even if he hanged a "No Trespassing" sign on the property, still his neighbor used the property as dumping ground of construction materials. The sign was tore to pieces.
