I like this,Sky not falling....
You have your point,Von.Foreigners see
our country as is,worse traffic,piles
of garbages everywhere,the kotong issue,lots of things that I can`t elaborate here..But in fairness to them,they find Filipino people warm,cheerful,appreciative;big things
or not,sweet and loving.Those are attitudes you can`t find w/japanese.
Filipinos welcome you in an ear-to-ear
smile..As I`m reading "SKY"..,I can`t help to nod my head how many times...
It`s really good to be in the Phil.,
von,especially if you have enough money.ha ha!Dito,lahat ng trabaho,ikaw
ang gagawa.Bukod sa sarili mong "career",household chores mo,isang malaking career.sigh,it`s too
speedy here(but I like being busy,it`ll make you out of trouble:-D)
We,Fipinos abroad,can't do nothing about the progressiveness/economy(but we send money naman,eh! hehe)of our country,so a man like you can be a new
born hero.God chose somebody for something.Hope for the better Phil...
Sorry,medyo mahaba na,last na to,we went out of the country but it does`nt
mean we turned our back to be deaf and blind..no,no,we have strong reasons but that`ll be a diff@rent story..
Arigato,
gee
the sky is not falling. 
i choose to live here even if i can choose not to. i was born here and i've been everywhere around this country and i loved it. i love the people here, the culture and the climate.
What??? You said Americans invaded Philippines? What history book did you read that in? Who told you such nonsense? In the 1940's Americans came here to SAVE your country and your people from Japanese invasion. We lost thousands of Americans to save your land and your people (many of our kids have no father, no brother, no uncle, no grandfater... and imagine how they feel when they read your comments about Americans "invading" Philips). It wasn't the first time Americans came here to save your people and your country and it may not be the last time, so do not ever insult the Americans. Your present and past government has taken advantage of your people, but it's not our fault. Your people wanted "independence" - and America gave you independence. Now look at you. Your culture is the way it is for a reason: Your crooked government can take advance of you because they brainwashed you for centuries and you were suckers for it. Change some of yr culture beliefs and maybe you'll have a better life. Start with changing the belief that a kid (girls) must go work for her family to support them. That's a foolish belief; only a lazy person can excuse that as a culture belief! Yr government snickers at you for that belief because it means less people yr government must worry about, so they brainwashed yr people (like the spaniards did). The spanish brainwashed yr mountain folks to believe there's monsters in the mountains. To this day, people in samar and other parts of the philips believe in asawang! Hey!!! ... there's no boogie man! It was the Spaniards way of fooling your people to get them out of the mountains, just as yr government has been fooling you stupid people for centuries to believe you MUST support yr family. Go get a job, support yrself! Tell yr family that; tell yr brothers, sisters and father get a job support yrself. In a short time, you'll see changes made by yr government to improve things here. Yr people are going to America because we have a decent govnmnt, good jobs and good pay. Why do you think we have all that? We're not stupid, that's why! So .. next time an American gives you some advice, why not listen? After all, we did save yr people and your country... twice! We're clever people. Pay attention. Change some of yr "culture beliefs" and you'll have a better life in yr own country.
Your people (Filipinos) are lazy. Thats the main reason for poverty and the horrible, crooked government you have in Philips. Yr people are too lazy to get a job, so they stand on street corners duriing election to accept the small bribes politicians hand out for yr votes! Stop that foolish tradition and vote for changes! Show yr govrnment yr not going to tolerate their illegal conduct, even if you have to go hungry, and God knows NONE of you will go hungry if you refuse a small bribe once a year! Next, you need to start WALKINNG instead of getting on the jeepneys and trikes. This will eliminate a whole lot of pollution and clear up some of the traffic. It also means less money for yr government from the small business owners operating those trike and jeepney services. I see filipinos get on a jeepney or trike to go a few blocks. Yr spending money for this. Save yr money, walk the few blocks! Find ways to improve yr society. Listen to foreigners - we're not stupid. Instead of spending all day at the internet cafe chatting guys to scam them for money, utilize yr time and money to educate yrself and yr people about the many ways to remove crooked politicans. Start by REFUSING to accept their bribes. Refuse to attend their beer parties and dance parties. Refuse their offerings of any kind. When you see the politicians blasting into town with 6 police escorts, new cars, buses blowing horns and sirens... refuse to look at them, refuse to acknowledge them... turn yr heads (and yr hands) away. Refuse to vote for them and refuse to do busiiness with business owners who use their store fronts to advertise for these crooked politicians. AND STOP WATCHING WOW WOW WEE AND DEAL OR NO DEAL!!! or any other program backed by yr politicans. STOP DRINKING SAM MIG BEER AND STOP BUYINIG SAM MIG PRODUCTS!!! These shows are put on yr tv to "passify" yr people, esp those without jobs! It's yr govrnment brainwashing yr people. Dont you get it??? OMG! Rally and unite and speak out... make it clear to yr govrnment that yr not going to tolerate this crap from them. and show them by turning off yr tv, refusiing bribes, and any other way yr govrnment makes money... eliminate it. Yr people hold the key to fixing the problem - the key is in the number of people u have in this country. Unite. You might have to work a little harder and eat a little less for a short time, but you'll get changes if you unite and stand up for yr rights. And stop blaming foreigners for yr problems!
hey joe and expat, i can see your IP address so don't think you can pretend to be different people.
but to answer your first question, yes, the americans invaded our country in 1898. just like vietnam. just like iraq.
the rest of your "points" do not merit a reply.
yes, i'm well aware you can "see" my ip address and note I am one in the same, and i surely did not "pretend" to be 2 different people, its clear form my posts i'm the same person, but came back to make more points because i wasn't sure your cheaply designed (free) blog could handle the entire text i wrote.
i really dont care whether you respond to anything i said. it wasn't put there for you to respond. its the truth, as i see it and as thousands (perhaps millions) of other foreingers see it.
as for american-filipino war, please go back and research this a bit more ok? the philips was american territory. the war was yr dictators and a handful of crusaders trying to gain complete indpendence. you lost, and americans continued to occupy this country BECAUSE YOU STUPID MORONS AND YR GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO A VERY GOOD JOB RUNNING THIS COUNTRY, AS EVIDENCED BY YOUR CURRENT STATE ... A PROBLEM YOU'VE HAD FOR HOW MANY DECADES? I would not refer to that 1898 war as an "invasion" - the americans already occupied this land... it was american territory! I thought you said yr a lib science student or something? dont insult me with yr 2-bit comments representing yr total ignorance of history of yr own country!
anyway... to this day.. america protects yr people and yr land. right now in oceans offshore of mindano waits american battle ships. thousands of our troops are in mindano helping your soliders protect people from muslim groups and terrorists. most of it is to "train" yr soliders... but more of it has to do with yr country being so far behind in technology. in 98 percent of the philips, yr about 20 years behind the US in technology. in other places, yr 30 to 50 years behind us. even in bigger cites, omg i went to a girl's house and the new telephone they just had installed is something we used in 1965!!! YR INTERNET SPEED IS SO DAMN SLOW I'M AFRAID THIS MSG WONT SEND, IT WILL TIME OUT BEFORE IT POSTS!! and this is "HIGH" Speed internet, from yr major ISP ("SMARTbro"). wow. hey i'm not attacking you personally. if you can't admit yr country is screwed because yr people are stupid and lazy, then hey that's up to you. any american coming to this country sees and agrees with what i've said. i know this because i speak to americans every day, many lives in philips 20 to 30 years. we know the difference; we lived in america, and we lived here. yr country is screwed dude. only good thing here is some cute chicks and a few nice beaches, bbut even the nice beaches are going downhill fast. yr country is so dambn polluted its discusting. everywhere. pollution, garbarge. yr people are too damn lazy to use a trash can, just throw garbage on the street, in the water, it's pure stupidity, lazy, and incompetence. you got students with 4 year bachelor degrees working at mcdo and jollybe that can't even spell! americans complain about yr HORRIBLE serivce in nearly every restro we visit. kids with bachelor degree can't ev
U NEED A DIFFERENT IP ADDRESS? IF I WAS TRYING TO "PRETEND" TO BE 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE I'D CHANGE MY IP ADDRESS. AMERICANS ARENT SO STUPID! I CANT REMEMBER WALKING INTO ANY AMERICAN'S HOUSE AND NOT FINDING A COMPUTER AND INTERNET.. AND HIGH TECH SERVICES. HERE, MOST PEOPLE DONT EVEN HAVE A COMPUTER, AND WHAT YOU FIND IN THE INTERNET CAFE IS FROM THE 1980s, at least! All filipino studies is how to scam people. changing an ip address or scamming someone is simple. omg yr so retarded dude.
what you see is not MY ip, fool. omg. i'm not here to educate you ok?
lol, and dont 4get, not only are americans smart, we have money. lots of it! most americans have more than 1 computer (I have 6, and im not even at my home in america!!!). thats because i have money... because im smart. if you were smart, you would have 6 laptops, too. so if i was trying to fool anyone, i'd just use another computer, or change my ip address. right? you want different ip address? here's 6 different ips. count em.... here's 1
I order and command:
1. That peace and friendly relations with the Americans be broken and that the latter be treated as enemies, within the limits prescribed by the laws of war.
2. That the Americans captured be held as prisoners of war.
3. That this proclamation be communicated to the consuls and that congress order and accord a suspension of the constitutional guarantee, resulting from the declaration of war.
Thats what your government pronounced in a declaration. the "war" you mention was actually started by a drunken filipino who refused to "halt" when an american solider shouted at him to stop. the filipino was armed and refused to halt. he was shot. he was drunk, and so were the 3 filipinos he was with (according to yr own government reports). americans never came to philips to "invade" as you put it. omg yr so soooooo stupid.
hey joe, if you're still around, check out my latest post. enjoy!
Expat/Joe
Your uneducated rants and lack of eloquence shows us exactly how 'smart' you are. It's a shame that by default you're the represetative of your country. What are you? The low-self-esteem American? And what on earth does having a computer have anything to do with intelligence? I suppose it's taught YOU how to think and told you what to say? I'm still trying to follow your logic here, but I've come to realize that there isn't any. Isupposed that's how 'smart' people such as yourself express themselves. Joe/Expat, show some pride in yourself, get a proper education and learn to write!!!!!!
I think Joe uses his 6 cpus to maintain 6 personalities ... they chat to each other on YM ... it's the only way he can get anyone to listen to his rants :D
Best wishes from Australia (dreaming of the day I can move to Phil).

People tend to boxtype when they've met someone from another place. Let's face it, there's no perfect country, perfect government. Each one of us has a bad side and Americans are no exemptions.
This is clearly Filipino bashing! Maybe expat is lucky enough not to be Filipino but is US lucky enough to have him as their representative.
The sun will shine through, maybe soon, hopefully! Lets start from ourselves not only for the PH but for the world we are now living in.
I've traveled all over the World and have seen many things. Funny, I see Filipinos doing the same things at every location, i.e. janitors at airports accprss the globe, Filipina prostitutes spreading their leggs in Korea, Japan all over the mid-East and elsewhere, drug dealers and gang members in California, welfare cheats in Hawaii...... Why?
We Filipinos accept such low standards of behavior from our own. Look at the incredible corruption endemic within the Philippine Governemnt, the corrupt police force (expecting bribes for everything), the horrible state of education (i.e. the decrepit state of the University of the Philippines and the rest of the education system, the masssive over population caused by ignorance and lack of self-control and planning, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum).
Ignorant pride, insecurity and a severe lack of self-discipline make up for the vast majority of the self-imposed problems we Filipinos face.
so far as a fili, i think filipinos are looking for quick ways out of poverty by wiping ass as caretakers, nurses (too many and too incompetent) and they are producing so little youth who pursue what is in there hearts just to fullfill what their parents want which is extremely pathetic, in the short run yeah they might help their country (pathetically) but in the long run their will be too many nurses which foriegn countries due to the high demands of nurses would produce their own. And where would the filipino nurses be? IN THE TOILET! And the guys in UP whats up with the bloody annoying riots sheesh it annoys me. And the riots near the nonsense annual edsa revolution is also annoying. And what pisses me off is why don't we invest in Nuclear energy which is better and why the hell didnt they fix the problems in the nuclear power plant instead of leaving it alone. For filipinos who believe in pursuing the grand dream of ELITISM good for them but for those wanting to live in dumbassville screw you good luck eating dog.
As a Filipino, I'm not here to oppose the elites. I am a Filipino national socialist and from what I know the Japanese soldiers were responsible for the invasion. The Americans did not invade the Philippines because they dissolute the first Philippine republic and gained control of the Philippines. If the United States should have kept the Philippines in control by the U.S government 63 years ago, we wouldn't live in a hard life as the poor and the sick. I experienced it by human experience and watching the news on TFC and GMA. Our people today back home are stupid as hell, so I am willing to change that once I go home to the Philippines. This is the truth I'm willing to do.
