    For the first time in 1.5 years staying in Brisbane I encountered one of my worst experience with Pinoys in the market. During the weekend I decided to buy some potted plants on flea markets in Brisbane Northern suburbs. I know the lady that she's pinoy so I decided to buy with her instead of the aussie lady which is two stalls away from her. In her stall the plant was explicitly displays $3.00 tag, went to pick up and handed over a $5.00 note she said I don't have any change for this go to the next stall and exchange your $5.00 so I did. I gave her $4.00 since I don't have any 0.50 cents. She went back to her seat and shouting the plant is $4.00 not $3.00! even the price tag sticker on the pot was $3.00. And she called me bloody Chinese! even I speak to her in tagalog earlier! That is so ridiculous! and unacceptable!

    Mababaw lang naman but my first day on the job a pinoy colleague asked me "bakit ka na ndito? Ang mahal mahal dito sa Australia." Gusto ko sanang sabihin, "Girl, magaling akong mag-ipon" though I don't think she meant to be offensive pero sana iwasan ang negativity at ang tsimisan.

    Yung ninang ko, 1980s pa nung nag-migrate dito and yan din yung problema niya sa mga Pinoy kahit nung una pa. Yung pakialamera and tsimis, dumating sa point na may mga marriage na nasisira. Precisely the reason I was never interested in living in Blacktown/Penrith/Mt Druitt kahit mas mura.

    But then this is not my first time mangibang bayan. I used to work in SG and mas malala ang behavior ng ibang mga Pinoy dun. Yung mentality na "mas nauna ako sa iyo therefore mas magaling ako" Kaya kahit napakaraming pinoy sa SG, kakaunti lang Pinoy friends ko dun. Yung iba eh foreigners din or locals. Yan din ang naging target ko nung pumunta ako rito.

    Bottomline, let's do our best to integrate with the locals/other nationalities. Magandang learning experience din.

    And one more important thing is to always always check the limits of your visa and don't consent to be subject to exploitation just because gusto natin kumita. I understand na we want the opportunities but nasa ibang bansa na tayo and hindi na puwede yung mentality na "gagawin ko lahat para sa pamilya ko (kahit ilegal)". Mas malaking sakit ng ulo lang po ang naghihintay sa inyo.

    this i agree, madami nga dito sa SG na ibang pinoy na k*pal sad to say. nauna ako sayo kaialngan mo ako sundin nasa batas to nasa gobyerno to

    kahit mali mali at wala yung iba naman ayaw makisama sa bahay

    kaya ako nag OZ para sa mga kiddos ko wala ako pake sa ibang mga bagay in the end kahit mas malake or mas mayaman saken ang kasabayan ko dko masyado iniintindi.

    pera lang yan di mo kaya baunin yan sa hukay

    minsan naoffend talaga ako magpapasko nun niyayabangan ako nang isang pinoy dito sa SG

    na kesyo marami daw sila pinadala maraming nakuhang bonus maraming napamili

    hinirit ko nalang oo pare swerte mo talaga marami ka nyan teka may anak kana ba? kung wala pa useless lahat yang pera mo.

    "tameme" egotistical ang karamihan dito na Pinoy sa totoo lang.

    Good topic. Parati kaming nagdidiscuss ni misis about Filipino traits and I keep on insisting that the root cause is the Philippine Media - Vice, Ganda Kris Aquino, "Bad Boy" Robin Padilla, etc. Tumira na din ako sa US, China at Japan at kapag pala lumabas ka ng bansa ay medo naliliwanagan ka sa mga pwede pang iimprove ng pinas di lang economically pati na din sa mga asal natin.

    Filipino in general (not all):

    Fail#1. Parati nating pinagtatawanan itsura ng tao, damit, katawan; siguro nga dahil komedyante lang talaga tayo, "more fun in the philippines?". Mali.

    Fail#2. Ikinahihiya natin yung mga trabahong meron tayo, ang cell phone na gamit natin dahil kesyo hindi smart phone. Kung ano anong term ang naging nickname ng mga mahihinang klaseng possession. In reality - materialistic tayo. Word like "longkatots" etc are funny, etc pero maling pauso. Mali.

    Fail#3. Napakainit ng ulo at sensitive natin sa maling tingin, maling salita, maling tono ng boses. Konting nagkamali lang ay parang di na tayo marunong umintindi at parang susugurin na natin kaagad ang isang tao. Mali.

    Fail#4. Karamihan, (95%?) ng mga lalaki ay parating bastos ang topic, dahil yata astig at nakakatawa kapag ganito ang topic ng usapan ng mga lalaki. Mali.

    Fail#5. Kung titingnan nyo yung ibang mga forums - gaming, news, social media, etc. Pag may pilipinong sasali, most of the time hindi disente at bastos ang mga tono. Meron dun sa isang gaming community na talagang ni ban na yung mga IPs na pinoy kasi nga masyado ng below the belt ang mga hirit. Iba ang forum na ito, propesyunal, disente at nagtutulungan mga miyembro kaya nga nabuhayan ulit ako ng loob na maging "proud to be pinoy" ulit. :)

    ...

    Marami din naman tayong maganda asal kaso minsan naiisip ko lang na natatabunan nitong mga ito. At sana pangarap ko lang sa pinas na merong overhaul sa media natin - topics, TV personalities, movie qualities, etc Palagay ko yung mga "nakakatawang jokes" to the expense of others ay wag na sa TV, siguro sa comedy bar na lang yung mga yun.

    Naglalabas lang din ng sama ng loob,

    rareking
    i totally i agree.

    dahil medya pinoy naging
    mapanglait ang mga noypi.
    mga bully at mapang mata at malisyoso.

    when you smile at a typical pinoy they will just stare back with a strange look on the face. ("Ano problema nito bat nakangiti sakin to?")

    can they just get it that people want to be confidently friendly with a smile. :)

    @VicThor Ignore mo lang. Tutal kahit naman gusto mo sila kunin, hindi basta basta na aapprove. Medyo madugo ang process ng pagkuha ng parents at magastos.

    I heard the same story from a friend, exactly the same, hindi ka nagiisa. In-laws na akala mo kung sinong magaling. So far for me hindi naman worst, paminsan lang alam mo yung time na pag nakaharap sayo kala mo ang babait pero pag hindi kakaharap ang daming sinasabi sa misis mo. Badtrip at hindi mo alam kung paanu pakikisamahan. Hehehe so far buti naiwan sila sa pinas at tahimik na kame.
