The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

Don't be too serious dude. Racism is all over internet. If you want to be a hero over a racist comment, you have literally millions of posts to choose from. Why pick on a fellow countryman atschatschatsch. There is nothing you say or do here will change the world :rofl:rofl:rofl.

 

This shows how much you know about the Filipinos and Philippines. None.

 

Come on man, are you suggesting there is no crime in the philippines? are you saying that squaters are bunch of hardworking people? Instead of looking after their river they throw their junk in there. Foreign volunteers have to come and clean it up for them.

I even see some filipinos are proud to have the "baddest" ghetto.

Come on man this is reality, this isnt something that you dont see when you land in manila.

 

Actually encouraging your fellow country man to be racist is no better. What do we call the aetas in philippines? I guess you know the answer.

My sister in law call black people negro, her 3yo son say the same **** now.

 

Manila isnt the Philippines, though.

You'd be surprised how big and wide and diverse and different each town and city and province the Philippines are. How different the culture and way of life is.

Heck, I'm personally surprised, even, at my own province.

I'm from Bulacan (obviously) and to me, neighboring towns in Bulacan like Angat, Pulilan, San Ildefonso, San Jose Del Monte, etc. are practically as foreign to me as Miami or London or Rome.

Never been there.

And they're just a couple of jeepney rides away.


And Manila and the cities are really kinda wild, compared to the towns and smaller cities outside of Manila. People should not assume that that's what the whole country is like.

 

This thread sucks.

 

who said people are proud of this? what you did is simply point out the obvious, the tangibles.. and already you feel this liberates you from being blind. people know about these and they're not proud of it. you act like these things you cited and feel embarassed about are exlusive to pinoys, when in fact they're not. the very things you cited are only the results of the deeper problem the country has had in years, and that is corruption. blame the poor, yeah that's easy.

 

I agree with you, thing is, you go to makati, its like being in a 1st world country but just around the corner you will find poverty.

This is reality, cant hide from that. And what make it so dangerous is that you think you are in a safe area, make one wrong turning and you could be running for your life.

 

I'm currently on "Philippine travel" mode, and I wanna visit all the regions and important cities in the Philippines, as much as my budget will allow.

My country is pretty huge. I'm surprised.

It's not as big as the US, but it's still a big little place.

I've only been to Baguio City, and all over metro Manila and its famous (and not so famous) places, and a few towns and cities near my province, and it's taking me a while to look around and discover and know my country intimately.

I'm still trying to discover and understand my people and my country.

I'm having an interesting time, travelling. And soul searching too.

Manila is not the Philippines.
Philippines is not Manila.

 

Who are the corrupts? Unfortunately its the people from top to bottom.

In some country corrupts get executed, in philippines they carry on with their life style.

 

Unfortunately true. This seems to be the case with a lot of us.

 

It's not meant to be racist, though. That word.

It's just Spanish for "Black".

A lot of people use that word without malice.

I do.

Of course, people sometimes make fun of dark skinned Filipinos, but Filipinos like to make fun of anybody who does not look like everybody else.

Too fat
Too short
Too skinny
Too tall
Too white
Too slanty eyed
Too pug nosed

etc.

No one's exempted.

Of course, there really are some racist types, but every culture has them.

 

Wow the proverb is true: "Pacquiao moves mountain"

 

Its uncalled for, they say it in the name of fun. In philiipines you call fat people tabachoy, slim you call him payatot, someone with one leg make sure you shout out "hoy pilay" oh thrown in the pango and intsik eyes.

When you mix with other nation, the pinoy way of calling names become an insult.
