I am not on anyone's side and let me make my clear statement after living 6 years in PHIL fighting every frigging single day in Manila. This country is hell dirty now. 10% of the population treats Foreigners like Worms since they own the whole country and they really don't like to see cheap charlie ...

Hey Winston, how are you doing up there? It has been a very long period since I wrote last time. Well.. As the author here said "everybody is entitled to his/her own ideas and belifs..".. So I am not going to argue. I meant, why would I? Let me rephrase things. 1. What do you expect from a country w...

I am a senior operations manager for an IT company. Sort of BPO. (Business Process Outsourcing). If you are not sent from the HQ in the states to PH with proper compensation / expat package/ and at least a Director title, forget about coming here. After an year or two, you have a good chance of gett...

1. Philippines will never become like Korea in next 50 years. It is because the 10% of the population (about 250 Families around the country) owns this 100%. Rest 90% are hopeless. That 10% will never give up the way to abuse people and let the poor to gain people power by making more money. So, the...

As what I read here, almost all of you guys really didn't spend some time in the high class clubs. Clubs in Roxas Blvd / Quezon Ave are "International KTV". That's how tour guides usually define. ROXAS: Coast Bay / Bini bini / Dynasty / Asian Network / Malizia / MU - shut down now Quezon Ave : Queen...

Well. I told you to check out Baguio a long ago.. It's a nice place to live.. However the catch is........ 1. When Typhoon hits PH, u will have to worry about Landslide.. it happens a lot in Baguio area and you can lose your lives for that reason. 2. Though the weather is cool enough and all that......

Oh.. and a normal Filipino doesn't use that much Electric. and don't live in a house where you have to pay utilities. Plus, No cable tv. They just share house or share the same room with multiple people to split the cost. Thus, electric bill = max 1000 or even much less than that. No Own Fridge. No ...

Look at what normal Filipinos eat on their dinner table and see how much it will cost? They just don't have the variety and the quality of the food they eat. (Plus no quantity too..) One taxi driver told me that their family of 5 can eat well with 5k for food per month.. Which it is totally impossib...

I think the term 'middle class' is a bit hard to nail down to specifics. It can mean different things to different people. Context matters too. What's considered middle class may vary from area to area or country to country. For many Americans, I think it implies a certain range of income, white co...

They don't usually and intentionally install a part to screw you up. It is just... Water is leaking somewhere and you just became the unlucky victim. You may go fight a lot but still most of them won't give you a flying crap. The worst situation you can expect is "Don't pay the bill" and "They will ...

Don't be a retarded silly man here.. You are talking about Genes Genes.. But what about those 10% High Class Filipinos here? Then their genes should be ugly as hell too? You have never seen them and how can you say it is the gene? It is the environment you and your child are exposed to. Have you eve...

Well.. I am not really into this idea... (I am sorry to say like this..) The thing is... as I mentioned more than 100 times, most likely you and Dianne's knowledge can probably cover the bahaviors of some Filipinas in Angeles.. If you want to give a consulation for those people who are having hard t...

As an independent head of a forum of non-conformists earning a US min wage level income who is living a partially localized lifestyle in Angeles of all places, do you really think upper middle class Filipinos will consider you as their American counterpart? If you wanna be considered upper middle c...

Baron, I have a question for you. I am from an upper middle class background myself. I grew up in a rich area of Fremont, CA. So why can't middle class Americans easily date middle class Filipinas then? What's the problem? Aren't they matched in class? Well.. Isn't it very simple? It is so hard to ...

There is a big difference between NE Asians and SE Asians... However, it is not easily distinquished by other people... but still, there is a big difference in GENERAL.... Winston, if you ever meet a high class woman or a young lady from a good and rich family in Philippines, you will see a totally ...
