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.

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.
