    Mga Pinoy kasi, bitbit kahit saan ang 'association' culture. Pansinin niyo nga sa Pinas lang, kunyare bisaya ka, bisaya siya, kailangan magkasundo kayo or mag usap kayo, or ma trace niyo kung sino sa mga alta dun ang tropa niyo o asawa ng kung sinong kamag-anak niyo. At kailangan talaga banggitin "uy Bisaya din yan" at almost all conversations.

    Ginagawa natin yun dahil sa strong need natin to belong. Hahanap at hahanap tayo ng kakilala kahit saan tayo pumunta, para hindi tayo completely nawala sa comfort zone natin.

    Which I think is wrong. Pumunta ka sa Australia to embrace the Australian culture. Makipag kaibigan ka sa mga Aussies at pag aralan ang pamumuhay nila. Diversify. Wag sumama loob mo sa mga Pinoy na hindi ka pinapansin, sigurado ayaw nya lang ma-associate at mapagchismisan.

    Yung bestfriend ko nagwowork sa Sydney, galit na galit sa mga Pinoy dun. Nakikita niya sila tuwing nagsisimba nalang pero pinagchichismisan pa sya. Mahilig kasi sa Louis Vuitton Prada and Chanel ang bestfriend ko and medyo exotic ang itsura, so alam niyo na kung ano ang chismis. Pero sa totoo, tatlo ang trabaho nya at maswerte nang makatulog sya ng apat na oras sa isang araw.

    Kaya parang awa nyo na, padala nyo na sa balikbayan box pauwi ng Pinas ang mga chakang ugali. :)

    @wizardofOz sana marami makabasa ng thread at posts dito, reminder na masakit sa ulo ang sobrang lakas ng boses at akala kanila mundo pag may kausap personally o sa telepono. Nasa SG ako, mga kaibigan ko na locals naiinis sa sobrang lakas makipag usap ng mga pinoy. But to make their comments light - biniro ko na lang na at least di nyo naiintindihan pinag uusapan nila, eh paano naman ako nabibingi na naiintindihan pa :P

    Tama, I don’t get it na bakit kailangang malakas ang boses… minsan nga kapag meron malakas mag-kwentuhang pinoy, gusto kong lapitan at sabihan ng “Gusto nyo ba ng mic?” or “Kailangan nyo ba ng megaphone?”

    I’ve worked overseas, and yung company naming meron ding branch sa Pinas, and everytime na may bisita kaming Pinoy na galing sa Phil Branch, alam na… Ang ingay, kapag may ka-telecon akala mo yung buong office floor yung meeting room nya… umalingawngaw ang boses… makikita mo yung mga locals, napapatayo sa desk nila, hinahanap kung saan nanggagaling yung malakas na boses.

    Tapos kapag nasa pantry ganun din, sobrang ingay ng kwentuhan at tawanan, yung ibang locals makikita mo nakayuko na lang at nakakunot ang noo… hindi nila naiisip na yung ibang tao doon baka gustong mag-rest or mag-unwind sandali away from work, tapos ganun yung daratnan mong ingay… Minsan, niyaya ko yung isang friend ko na local na mag-coffee, sabi sakin later na lang daw kasi noisy daw sa pantry…

    Again, hindi naman sinabing magpaka-kimi tayong mga Pilipino or maging boring at hindi masaya, sana lang konting konsiderasyon at “class” kasi nasa pampubliko tayong lugar or corporate environment.. Wala tayo sa palengke.. Bow.

    @Envy pinagsabihan ko once, kasi medyo senior naman ako sa kanila in terms of position and tenure sa company, maayos ko naman sinabi na kung pwede maging considerate and be respectful sa officemates namin, especially to the locals, para walang masabing hindi maganda sa mga Pinoy.. Positive namang tinanggap nung mga pinoy and medyo naging discreet na sa mga malakas na kwentuhan at tawanan.. Siguro nahiya din na sa tanda naming ganun, mapagsasabihan ka pa regarding sa proper workplace etiquette. Then mga after a few months, yung HR mismo, nagpadala ng Guidelines in general sa lahat ng employees about din doon sa same matter, I don’t know baka may nag-raise din ng concern from the locals as well.

    @JCsantos naisip ko din naman yan.. of course alam naman natin lahat yung kultura nating mga Pilipino, masayahin, magiliwin.. naisip ko din na baka nalulungkot, at talaga namang nmmiss lang yung lagi kang may kausap at kasamang kalahi mo.. sa bahay or gatherings, walang problema yan, magparty tayo… pero kapag workplace, or public places especially public transport, konting tone down lang sana, hindi naman kasi lahat ng lugar meeting de avance or comedy bar.

    Ang sana maging maingat lang tayong mga Pinoy yung sa public setting like sa workplace or malls or public transport... andami kong napapanood sa youtube na racism encounters sa public transport... although i condemn those racist behaviour, mas mabuting umiwas na lang and not to draw attention to ourselves..

    Ugaling pinoy

    1. Filipino time -- sana matuto na tayo maging maaga or atleast sumunod sa pinag kasunduang oras.

    2. Learn to say 'NO' -- pansin ko karamihan sa mga Pinoy, mahirap mag decline lalo na sa work or sa overtime. Kapag ayaw or hindi natin kayang gawin, imbes na isagot natin is 'NO' ang kadalasan reply natin is 'i will try' , 'let's see' , 'i will do my best'

    3. Kids party are for kids (this may not be unpleasant but good to mention na rin) --

    guilty ako dito. Pag invited ang kiddos sa mga birthday parties, usually parents will drop off and pick up their kids at agreed time. Some stays but rarely . And dont bring +1 unless you have informed the host. Actually dont even ask if you can bring +1.

    uy meron pala nito

    share ko lang andito ako SG sumakay ako nang bus naalala ko magbabagong taon din yun last year

    nagremit ako nang pera noon sa orchard at may dalawang pinay na DH ako nakasabay from orchard down to Toa payoh, naiintindihan ko na holiday mood at right nang lahat nang tao maging masaya at in festive mood.

    one thing lang naging concerned ako sa bus, magkatabi na sila pasigaw pa magusap kulang nalang ipaalam nila sa lahat na naguusap kami HELLO.

    may isang local sa kabilang side nila nakiusap na paki tone down yung boses please take note nakiusap at may please.

    sabi nang isang babae inaaway yung lokal "singlish" sino ka para pagsabihan kami na hinaan boses namen? sabi nang lokal maging considerate naman kayo hindi lang kayo tao dito.

    pinay 2: kung naiingayan ka pwede wag ka magpublic bus bumili ka kotse mo o magtaxi ka.
    lokal: pinapakiusapan ko kayo bakit ganyan ugali ninyo? dayo lang kayo dito magsilayas kayo sa bansa namin dun kayo sa @#$!inang bansa nyo *cursing in chinese
    pinay 1: d kami pinapaalis nang Prime Minister nyo noh 27 years na ako dito (which i dont believe) pag pinalayas na kami saka kami aalis.

    gusto ko na sana batukan parehas considering na kaya ko sila daragin pero tumahimik ako at yumuko, one thing i know is nahihiya ako at the same time nagreregret ako kasi wala akong ginawa para ipacify yung situation

    another thing:

    nakakabadtrip yung ibang Pinoy na pagkatapos mo tulungan pag nakatikim na nang kaunting langit lumalake na ULO sumusobra yabang na feeling mo ikaw na may utang na loob sa kanila.

    may kasama kami sa bahay napakabait nung nagsstart palang kasama mister nya, after a few years kala mo sila na may ari nang bahay kinokonsidera lang oras at schedule nila laban sa ibang tao na nakatira sa bahay to think na ultimo pamasahe at renta libre sila nung unang mga buwan nila sa bahay namin hindi na namin siningil.

    laba
    luto gamit kusina
    gamitan nang gamit sa kusina
    ultimo simpleng bagay pinupuna kagaya nang sapatos na nakapatong sa stool inuutos pang ibaba ang kapal nang mukha.

    sana d ako makaengkwentro nang ganitong mga Pinoy na kaunting langit nakatikim sobrang k*pal sa yabang na.

    plot twist magrerenew na kami direkta na sinabi nang isang tao samen lumipat na sila. siya pa galit LOL

    maishare ko lang experience ko lalo na nung 457 visa pa lang ang hawak ko. kung tutulong kayo sa kababayan nyo sana bukal sa loob nyo at wag magbilang o magdemand ng kapalit agad agad. at sana hindi yung ipapamukha nyo yung utang na loob ng tao sa inyo at forever nyong isusumbat. yung tipong medyo umaabuso na at may mga nakakainsultong mga salita. hindi man lang maappreciate yung effort mo para maabot ang isang bagay. kaya tama lang yung decision ko na mag-aplay ako ng sarili kong PR visa. para walang masabi ang iba.

    my brother had a bad experience too... sa kapwa pinoy din. nagmigrate yung brother ko with 489 visa, meron syang kaibigan in Oz who offered his home habang wala pang nahahanap na marerentahang bahay. he accepted the offer dahil wala din naman syang ibang kakilala sa Oz, wala pang 1 week, yung wife ng friend nya wrote him a letter at iniwan sa kwarto telling him to leave. may baon naman na pera yung brother ko and he offered to share/rent habang nakikitira sya. minsan iisipin mo talaga kung bakit meron ganoong klase ng mga tao.

    sorry to hear bout what happened to your brother - don't take it fully against his friend's wife though. some people might value their privacy hence that situation happen.

    @catch22

    i think mga ganitong kaso sobrang complicated pero dapat paps tingnan din natin yung dalawang side or may ultimate na reason sila.

    mas iba pa din yung natulungan mo na although hindi namin sinisingil o tinitignan na utang na loob yun pero kahiyaan nalang between both parties na sana respetuhan nalang hindi yung after mo makuha gusto mo mayabang kana maangas kana mataas kana.

    in reality pare parehas lang kaming langaw na nakatuntong sa kalabaw atleast dito sa SG

    MERRY XMAS TO EVERYONE!!!!

    @TasBurrfoot @thegreatiam15 - agree with you guys.

    @filipinacpa - i guess there are people who just can't say what they want to say kapag kaharap na yung tao. whatever the reason is, it's our attitude towards bad circumstances that matters most :)

Kanina lang sa class nagbibigay ng sample yung instructor, situational, una ndi nia pa pinapangalanan kung anong race. ang term nia eh "ethnic". co worker nia then later on inspecify n niya Filipinos nga daw, eh internal controls ang subj so binrought up yung paggamit daw nga ng office phone ng coworker niyang Filo to call overseas that cost the company 190aud tel bill. Nagsosorry naman siya saken I appreciate namn at naiintndhan ko na ndi nia meant na generalize. Nakakalungkot lang pala talaga pag may issue about sa Pinoy na nanggagaling sa ibang lahi. Hindi maiwasang hindi maapektuhan. Na ang pakiramdam ako yung tinutukoy niya. Ewan. Alam ko feeling ko lang yon baka nga maxado lang sesitive Pinoy or its just me. :D
