I find it astounding that Filipinos are surprised by the rant, given the poverty and pollution, lack of courtesy, favoring of whites, out-of-control birthing, corruption, and on and on. Many Filipinos have been abroad. How come their frank impression of the progressiveness of other nations never gets reported back as something the Philippines ought to aspire to? Like cleanliness. I dunno.

I haven't seen it yet since it was taken down on Youtube for copyright complaint. (The original link might take a bit of fishing around on google)<br /><br />The video is called "20 things I dislike about the Philippines", and is done by an expat who's been living in the Cebu for 3 years. (Example would be peeing in public, ladyboys, etc.)<br /><br />As usual, forums are ablaze with all sorts of comments, ranging from the guy's masculinity, to his inauthenticity, and all sorts of nasty, overly-emotional BS.<br /><br />I was quite amused by one of the critics who, based on his profile, dedicated the last few days responding to everyone who agrees with the video. Must be one of those "Proud to be Pinoy" types. :P<br /><br />-patrioticflip<br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />Have you been called a "reklamador"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-68194206060957099052012-03-19T12:55:18.676+08:002012-03-19T12:55:18.676+08:00Very true.Very true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-60961187009082630902012-03-19T03:09:12.631+08:002012-03-19T03:09:12.631+08:00It seems that often these words have different mea...It seems that often these words have different meanings in the Philippines: <br />Ambitious, complainer, traitor, selfish, cheap, snob.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.com
