I'm beginning to realize that Filipinos can be divided into two categories: Those whose think too little of themselves, and those who think too much of themselves.
Fortunately, there are far more of the former and they can be encouraged, and you can see the latter coming from a mile away and they can be avoided.
Very interesting; I (unfortunately) was thrown into the latter category during my visit to Cebu.
ReplyDeleteThey were silver spoon fed spoiled brat young adults that reminded me of everything I hate about 'California type' attitudes prevalent in the western countries. That is, I am better than you. Hence, my first opinion of Filipinos was not a positive one and I found myself wishing I was hanging out with the store staff they were berating rather than the company I was stuck with.
I am looking forward to meeting some of the former, as you describe in November.
