Toxic pinoy culture rin ba yung kailangan ang napo promote mas senior ang tenure? Haha yung porket tumanda na sa kumpanya feeling they deserve a promotion na?lol
Naiinis ako sa mga anak ng anak tapos iaasa sa kamaganak ang mga bata. Usually sa mga tita/tito na nasa city or nasa abroad. Parang yung pamangkin/inaanak ko, ang tatay ayaw na magwork kasi ako naman daw magpapaaral sa anak nya. Like who the fcuk said that?
May pinsan ako, bunso sya at sya lang ang nakatapos at nurse sya abroad. Nasa pamangkin #21 na siya ayun konting kibot, sa kanya hihingi ng pera. Ang mga pamangkin dito bongga ang mga debut etc. Yung pinsan ko, tinitipid sarili sa pagkain. Nakakagigil!
Bigla kong naalala: ung ayaw maglakad. Maglalakad lang kung asa mall (tapos mayaât maya upo ar magkakape or magmmerienda kasi pagod na). Kahit pwedeng lakarin, magkokotse papuntang panaderia. Hindi makakilos kung walang kotse.
Kung ipapalakad mo, kasi on tour naman so youâd think theyâd want to see and experience things and so walking around would be best. But no. Magtatalak pa about you to other people na kesho pinagod mo sila, inconsiderate, and hindi man lang pinagdrive/naghire ng taxi etc.
Or if may (foreigner)bisita in pinas and then pinagMRT mo with you kasi well, why not? E âmeanâ ka.
And yung ni-raise ni @iamstorm na dapat english (lang) ang itituro sa mga bata. Bawal magtagalog. Magbisaya. Etc. As if makaka-harm ito. Knowledge of different languages is one of the best gifts one can give to a child.
Speaking of racism⌠pinaka yata among Asians. Kahit sa Pinoys abroad, lol. Dito minsan gusto kong mambatok about how very insensitive people are with their racist comments kahit naririnig ng taong pinag uusapan nila.
Saka yung nagpapa âtulongâ ipasok sa trabaho dahil may kakilala na, kahit walang qualifications for the job. Gagamitan ka pa ng guilt card. Susme.
Sakto. Parang walang middle ground lagi sa mga Pinoy. Kailangan may kakampi ka. Hindi pwede pag-usapan rationally and like adults. Puro dinadaan sa hiritan and smart-assery. Super ma-pride.
I agree about Pinoys being racist (although siguro most instances masasabing benign racism⌠if there is such a thing)
Agree din sa judgy and backstabbing Pinoys abroad! this discouraged me from really associating with them. Lalo na yung mga tita age⌠na pag nakikilala ka ang daming prying questions. Yung kaka introduce palang sayo raratratin ka na ng ganitong mga tanong: San kayo nagkakilala? Taga saan ka sa Pinas? Paano ka nakarating dito? Ano work mo sa Pinas? Ilang taon ka na? OMG. Staahp. Get out of my face you old ugly busybody.
Re chismis naman⌠im not gonna say that I dont chismis⌠I do with my closest friends and my sisters. And we dont spread lies or malicious rumors but we do talk about other people. Our common topic of derision ay based on heinous posts sa social media. pero huuuge turn off for me ang pinays dito sa US na older than I amâŚsiguro in their early to mid 40s na grabe sa backstabbing game. Like makikita mo sa FB parang ang close dami pics tapos may patawag tawag pa ng BFF or darling⌠tapos I attended a lunch na absent yung isa nilang kabarkada. Guess who ang pinag usapan the whole time like⌠i dont know this person well pero ang sama na kagad ng impression na binibigay niyo about her to think kaibigan niyo yan. It made me think twice about trusting them kasi if they can do it with a âclose friendâ theyâd definitely do it to me.
May cousin akong nurse din tapos abroad na. Ako nanggigigil for her. I treat her like my own sisters kasi we grew up together. Ang inis na inis ako is since she moved to the US for work and to live with her dad na, siya itong parang âunofficialâ breadwinner nung 3 anak ng isa pang cousin. Like ate ghorl asawa ng cousin namin, buhay pa magulang ko pinagsasabihan na kayo mag birth control. Tapos gagawin nyong ATM yung nurse cousin ko? Yung youngest pa sa mga anak niya sobrang spoiled. Nakakainis. Ngayong ECQ, sabi ng sister ko sa Manila, nganga sila. Looks like my cousin has had it.
Paisa pa. Yung mga Pinoy abroad na barat at lubos kung makatawad. Tapos sasabihan ang paninda mo ng âang mahal naman, sa atin magkano lang yanâ. Gusto ko sabihin na bakit hindi ka dun bumili? Ang mahal kaya ng ingredients sa ibang bansa.
Scene: cultural roadshow ng embassy
Super agree ako kay @abbymaria sa pag-iwas sa mga mahaderang tita. Iwas akong magshare ng information but I still maintain closeness kasi baka kailanganin ko din ng tulong ng mga kababayan natin.
I think Pinoys are racist kasi sobra nating wannabe white people. Kailangan pa-English (with matching accent pa) lagi, masama maging maitim, etc. Pati sa fashion and fads, gaya-gaya tayo.
True yan. I work in a government agency where you get documents. When they learn youâre from that agency, magpapatulong na agad to get that document. Every month kasi, may allocation kami para sa courtesy lane (para di ka na magpa-appointment)âi have family and friends who fight over those slots, kakaloka. As in nag-away ang parents ko one time, kasi my dad was always being asked by friends of friends para dun sa slots na yun, that my mom put her foot down, baka daw isipin ng iba fixer ako. Ilang beses na din inaway ng mom ko yung mga relatives and friends nila asking for those slots for that same reason. Ako naman, I ignored those who ask for slots. Good thing naglabas na ng rules ang agency that you can only use your courtesy lane for immediate family members. I mean, oks lang naman tumulong sa ganun (and I have done thatâmay family and friends ako na binigay ko yung slots even if they did not ask, kasi i felt na kailangan nila), pero naloloka ako na parang buong barangay kailangan mong tulungan.
Di ko din talaga magets yung maghahanap ka ng kakilala to get something somehow. In my case, willing akong pumila or tumawag at mag-research on products and services that I need.
Chaka yung habit na itatry talagang makalusot kung pwede, chaka yung maipilit talagaâI have seen that sa work, yung mga ayaw magcomplete ng requirements for that document, tapos magrereklamo na pinapahirapan sila.
Sakit sa bangs ng padrino system. Thatâs partly why, I think, there isnât a stong campaign for govât agencies to streamline and make processes less bureaucratic and more efficient.
^ Itâs systemic. UP somehow also contributes to this phenomenon. What with âcompadrazgoâ heavily ingrained in the âGreek societiesâ e.g. my brother/sister right or wrong BS. I know some government agencies na naging pugad na ng frat, kahit medyo questionable yung competence nung iba. Siyempre, âbrodsâ muna nila ang priority, lalo pag merong isa na nasa mataas na na posisyon.
Y-E-S! Isama na dyan na kailangan may âkatuladâ na foreign thing / âFilipino version ofâ ang lahat ng mga Filipino things, as if they cannot stand on their own.
Isa pa, nakapaka-MADAMOT natin. Especially kapag nasa Pilipinas tayo, we are extremely selfish.
Nakakaloka ang mga âreactionâ videos sa youtube na pinamumugaran ng mga peenoise.
Example: Jollibee commercial na madrama
Kung galing kay Jhona Mhae from Navotas malamang wala pang 1k views at puro maarte comments pero pag galing kay Kirsten from Wichita, Kansas baka 2M views agad!
I mean, I see your larger point, but laking Jollibee kasi si Jhona Mae so parang manonood ka lang na kumain ng Jollibee yung kapitbahay mo. Maybe there is an audience for that, who knows Pero siguro kung halimbawa, pinalaki siyang strictly vegetarian or pescatarian tapos first time mag Jollibee as a young adult, baka magkaroon ng more interest?
