As I’ve come across meeting different people from different parts of the world. I’ve heard their opinions towards Philippines and Filipinos.
My Canadian lover before thinks that Filipinos are stupid with watching Wowowee every noon. When its on, they gather and focus on watching the said show.Where girls are happily dancing and audience idolizes the host of the show pretty much.His point is that instead of watching that nonsense show, why just not do a more important stuff.When everybody needs to improve the quality of their lives and fight the economic crisis.And I told him that Filipinos are happy people. Its just a small thing but they find it a friendly show who hears the struggles of every Filipino. They laugh with jokes they hear on TV and for them being happy and stress free is all that matters. At least once in a while to relax. I t also became a habit already that Filipinos are fanatic with drama shows which they can relate to, convinces them that nothing is impossible.
When we were driving in his car, locals are extremely friendly to him. All eyes are on him smiling, none on me which is pretty understood because he’s a white guy to catch attention Then he told me with those children waving at him with big smiles that Filipino children are stupid who know nothing but play, doesn’t know how to speak English unlike the smart and mature children in his country. Then I told him that this is Philippines which you may find weird but just usual for us. We have qualities which you may find it hard to understand. If you got complains in this country then why are you here for long now? I was kidding but its half meant.

Complains about Filipinas

Despite of good attributes about Filipinas which are quite redundant over the net,lets take a look about western guys complains to them.Though in my articles I asserted that Philippines is composed of strange and weird stuff going on.That is why you need to understand more about Philippines.
There's BIG distinction between Filipinas and women from their countries and its a given fact.Filipinas are caring,loving,knows how to handle problems very well,stick with family values and how sacred marriage is, also doesn’t give up with challenges easily.
These are the reasons why Filipinas are the choice among westerners who find Filipina qualities to be impressive.

But there are also bad nature that a women in this country possess.These are the top reasons.

-They scam..a good way to earn money easily is finding a guy over the net.Tons of men are lured by the beauty of Filipinas and their good personalities, so its where they take advantage.
They never ran out of excuses and alibis to ask for more.
-They don’t know how to appreciate most of the time.
Friend of mine got disappointed with his girlfriend's behavior who never said thank you and looked unhappy with the stuff he bought for her.
-Have plenty of demands.Though not all,but Filipinas tend to become materialistic being with their white boyfriends.
-They are lazy.They think the world could be given to them so they are not motivated to work..

This is not intended for all, but this is just my general conclusion with what I've observed in my country and from people's feed backs..This just means that a genuine and sincere person is rare to find.So beware!


Family-Orientation…..How does it become wrong?

Filipinos are known to be family-oriented. It’s the way of life in Philippines. Everybody is taught to help one another and strive hard to improve their lives on the process, whoever gets a good opportunity carry the responsibility of other family members.
One who works abroad never missed sending money to Philippines for food, school and some other necessities. This in turn makes their family proud of them, it’s a heroic act and it’s an obligation. But not all the time that this orientation could lead into more productive living. Women who work as domestic helpers abroad struggle to support their family and children. But instead of spending it for school tuition she might be unaware that a child could use the support for vices, enjoys the luxury of life while his mother suffers from homesickness, its never easy but it takes time for them to realize. She sends money for her other family who are jobless, but they’re only seen drinking beers along eating delicious food.
This is how strange western people find it. Its a normal scenario but whose to blame?

"Whom you Know Method" in Philippines

This method is just an example of unfair system of employment in Philippines. This goes when the basis to employ somebody is not in accordance to his skills and asset to a certain job but through a person he knows inside a company.
Although this might not always be applicable but this affects the progress of this country. Instead of hiring people who are appropriate and suits well on the job, it turns to be an unjustifiable behavior.
This would cause slow build up of a nation. As a citizen in a certain town, I heard feed backs from among all people against the newly elected Mayor. It is said to be that majority of his staff in the municipality are his relatives .And when someone makes an appointment with him, it’s not him who face them but his sister. Well this is Philippines they can be idiots who broke their promises during their campaigns but at the end, they are the one having the power! Though people choose them, but still they tend to take advantage of their power. Now this Is why Philippines is in chaos.

  1. You forgot some other things:

    They are also power hungry
    They tend to be ignorant
    They tend to turn hateful if you don't agree with them
    The filipinas tend to be uneducated nutrition dictators

    Don't know if its only me, but almost every filipino I've met was like that. They always wanted to be first and the top dog in our friendship.

    One other thing: They're rude, they're rude and... they're rude.

    1. And a little edit: if they ever do get in power they will most likely become corrupt

  2. Because it IS true. People here don't think about the future or the past. Concepts like democracy and religion are stripped off of deeper meaning and converting it into something we all know you see everyday in the Philippines - use political and religious movements as an excuse to build networks and establish nepotism. Filipinos also have a knack for praising street smarts (called 'diskarte' in our country) rather than creative intelligence. Not saying there's anything wrong with street smarts but when you fail to see the bigger picture and base your culture and life around it all the time whatever the cost and no matter how destructive it is, then you as a group of people failed.

    This is why I'm planning to leave the Philippines. People with a genuine work ethic, way of life and morality are shunned and ridiculed because you are "honest" and follow goodness as laid out by Christ in the bible while the corrupt, evil men are praised because they are "street smart". If you don't see why many Filipinos are self-hating and self-loathing, then here is why.

  3. After having lived for five years in the Philippines and having been married to a pinay for 13 years I want absolutely nothing to do with those fuckers. And before you call me racist I'll have you know I'm half Filipino and my kids are Filipinos. I don't hate them because of race or anything like that I hate them because they're a bunch of fucking idiots. Their men are con artists and their women are whores pure and simple. And their food is the worst shit I've ever tasted. I would rather eat my own feces than eat anything cooked by a pinoy. Everytime I see an old white guy with a young pinay I find myself disgusted by the lack of self respect these women have. And the idiots who marry these whores have to be fucking brain dead since they honestly think these cunts love them. Fuck the Philippines and fuck the Filipinos who populate it.

  4. Good Governance are two words that never have gone well together.

    To have good governance, there needs to be honesty and transparency.

    The people need to be involved at all levels, and the structure should be more like a funnel than a pyramid.

    People cease to know the power they hold, and the abilities they have to formulate change.

    The governing body are more adept to building their future, than to build a future for their people.

    Until the people are cared for, Good Governance will be just two words.

    The people need and deserve to have education, employment, health, home and needs.

    That is all people, not just the select few.

    While we see poverty and the poor status of living in countries like the Philippines, there is no Governance for all people.

    The solution to poverty is not easy, but it sure wont be achieved, until the assistance reaches those it was meant for.

    I have seen the numbers of dollars that is said to have been for the poverty problem of the Philippines, and it has not achieved anything.

    It doesn’t take a scholar to know, that the funds made it nowhere near those it was intended to lift from poverty.

    To break the cycle of poverty is not as difficult as some would lead us to believe.

    It is those in charge of the funds that make it an impossible task.

    Write me the cheque to the same value as all aid that has been thrown at poverty, and I will show how the dream of a poverty free world can be achieved.

    How do I know? Because I have talked to those in need, those who have no home, and those who are calling for a real leader to help them from the life that they were born to.

    Remember nobody chooses to live in poverty, it is the cause of those with greed above.

    It is stupid to go on living the same way still expecting a change.

    Change comes from knowing the problem and doing something real to solve the problem.

    Saying things that are wrong or in defense of what you know is wrong, complicates the solution, and does nothing to bring solutions.

    True solutions come only working together as people and putting aside differences.

    United all can make a difference in lives of others, and divided it will bring all to the same level and destroy what is left of a civilized society.

    Change starts from the moment you finish reading this, and whether you believe that you can make a difference.

    If you believe you can’t make a difference, your chance of a better life has already been decided, and you have failed in your duty of being able to help others.

  5. If you really want an opinion of someone already have been there 20 times within 10 years, involved with local people and had, at least at start, the best purpose to communicate please listen.
    Most of what you write are true but they are not describe the source and cause of behavior.
    What I will write ofcourse doesn't apply to all philippinos. It should be idiotic to judge individual by race or nationality.
    But yes. Average philipino is much less capable to understand complicated and absorbed meanings than the average European.
    Disability to understand ideas and complicated meanings leave space only for understanding materials and quantity.
    Even a quick comparison at history of art fields, fields that they are at the top of human intellect, should convince even the most skeptical.
