uban mga pinay nangita og foreigners is because of money, not love....

Its their right... and its practical...

survival of the fittest....

I don't see anything wrong with the top 10 tips, actually i find it hilarious. What the guy was saying is true, there's no harm in that right ?

i was really amazed reading this forum about foreigners living here in the philippines, specifically CEBU. murag ako nauwaw ko sa ila mga gipang ingun. naay thread didto about cebuano culture nga dapat ma sabtan sa mga would be settlers dri sa cebu and murg na uwaw jud ko nga ani ta mga pilipino. murg most of the foreigners dont agree with our hospitality anymore. bati kaayo paminawn. just read some of the tips they are giving out to foreigners who will be settling here...

these are some of the tips they are sharing about us filipinos, or specifically cebuanos.



this is a reaction coming from one of those tips above and its very TRUE!!!



i dont blame these guys for sharing these tips since i believe in them. THEY ARE TRUE!!! grabe ako jud nauwaw nganu ing ani ta mga pilipino. i could say culprit jud ni ato educational system. wala ta gi tarong ug tudlo mao na ing ani ta. kanang hilig mag bugal2 maoy usa ka trait nga walay tarong nga edukasyon. majority of filipinos are poor thats why ing ani ang nakita sa mga foreigners.

HOW I WISH THIS WILL CHANGE AND MUBALIK NATONG KINA-IYA NATO NGA HOSPITABLE FILIPINOS DOING THE BAYANIHAN SPIRIT.

di nani makita karun ang bayanihan spirit kay its himself for everything. so sad....

^ im not saying theres harm in it but would you be ok to be branded like what they say? hinuon di ta angay masuko kay tinuod man pero para naku bati man gud ing ani ta. sugot lang ta ingnun ta "repressed" men kay kusog kaayo ta managhoy or manitsit diha kung naay mu agi nga puti labi na babae?? binastos mana ing ana gud and i dont think sakto na sya gikan sa taw nga edukado.

sa ako point of view lang ha, angay ta mu react ani kay di man maayo. daghan pa kaayo sila nabantayan sa mga pinoy nga dili jud maayo. most of them say ang pinoy simple instructions di kakuha. nay balaod nga no jaywalking, mu labang ghapon. naay skywalk, adto ghapon sa ubos mu labang. di mu labay ug basura dri, labay ghapon. no u-turn, u-turn ghapon. nagpaila nga WA TAY DISIPLINA. cge lang ta reklamo sa ato nasud nga bati kaayo o pirmi ta kabos nya buot hunahunaun naa sa tagsa2 nato ang magusab para sa kaayuhan natong tanan.

as what JFK said,

"ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country".

Personal observation mana nila about sa atong culture ila lang gi share.

@TS puwede nimo post ang source. Mora man gud post rasad sa lain forum then imong gi repost dinhi. puwede raman cguro didto ka react or comment. suggestion lang

[santario101]

I find his top 10 tips very hilarious and I stand by it. why should we care so much as to this guys opinion about us ? If he called the men "repressed", so what ? what's the big deal about it ? When this white people come here they'll realize that what this guy is saying is not all true. But then again some of it is true and it's really FUNNY ! LAUGH OUT LOUD !

yes. they are personal opinions but i think most pinoys agree to what they say. usahay kung pinoy mag strya about sa kina iya nato di mn gani kaangkon. mas maka mata man jud ta kung di nato kalahi ang mu ingun kung unsa ta. kung ma minyo ta, di mn gani ta kapataka ug lihok atbang sa atong mga in-laws dba?

repost naku ila gipanulti dri kay pinoy mn ta. kita mn ang naigo so kita angay ang muhatag ug reaction. ako maikog ko mo post sa ila forum kay its for them.. mura bitaw mu depensa na nuon ko sa binuhatan sa pinoy wen in fact sakto raba jud.

not everything is bad about what they say on us filipinos. there are also good points and they even uphold the "well this is the philippines so learn from it... or, thats what the locals do so understand them" statement.

i can post some as soon as i can...
