I think they are confused.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-80716706158901049682012-03-09T10:36:01.683+08:002012-03-09T10:36:01.683+08:00Interesting question.

In the Philippines there are too many forces working against them. So they are subservient.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-91111820437274437342012-03-09T02:05:35.481+08:002012-03-09T02:05:35.481+08:00Here in the USA Filipinos like to protest and rais...Here in the USA Filipinos like to protest and raise their voice regarding rights and fair treatment etc. They are sensitive here but it seems that they are not sensitive in the Philippines. They seem to be comfortable having a double standard. Something is holding them back to do the same "right fighting" in the Philippines. I think they are overly sensitive here but completely numb when it comes to the the real problems in the Philippines. Why? Is it a pride issue?Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.com
