Vegasboy32 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Naalala ko tuloy ung isang kaibigan ko na taga Carson, CA. Nung nagbakasyon siya sa Pinas 6 years ago ung baon niyang $3000 halos naubos. Nilapitan ng nilapitan siya ng mga kamaganak. As for kayabangan sakit na ng Pinoy yan kahit sa bansa natin maraming mayabang. Part na ata ng culture natin yan. Basta ako wala akong pakialam pagka nauwi ako. Quote Link to comment
Vegasboy32 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think everyone is entitled to their own dreams. If that new SUV is what allows him to work hard and remain away from his home and loved one, that I'd say it's good enough motivation. Now having said that, I'm a big proponent of living within one's means. Act your wage sabi nga daw. I too wouldn't spend most of my current savings on any singular purchase, except maybe to buy a pacemaker or drug, whatever to save a loved one's life. It's your money do what you want to do with it. Hindi naman porket bumili ka ng SUV eh mayabang ka na. Yan lang ayaw ko sa ibang kababayan natin lumalabas ang pagka inggit. Quote Link to comment

sfstudmuffin Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 From a balikbayan point of view: You think we're mayabang? I just think we're more confident in the way we act. To survive abroad, dapat malakas loob niyo to do whatever it takes....di pwedeng hiya-hiya o tatahimik ka lang....everybody will just take advantage of you. Pasalubong and money matters. There's this expectation that we support evrybody that has been left behind.....why is that? Diba dapat when you wnat something, you should work for it? Bakit biglang, there's this sense of entitlement that I should be supporting other people...mukhang kaya naman nila trabahuin iyon......In my opinion, one of the reasons kung bakit di masyadong umaasenso Phil, is that more and more ppl are just living off the padala $$$. Just like kids, if you keep giving them allowance, they will never learn to get a job. Quote Link to comment

boomouse Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well, the shoe just went into the other foot today as I got a call from an uncle doctor practicing in the US. Time was, he was the most critical balikbayan I have ever met--always comparing how we live in the Philippines to how things are in the US. Well, the poor guy just had to call this pinoy to ask for a loan to keep the bank off his back and save his house from foreclosure. Tulungan na lang. Kamaganak eh. Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 From my point of view (who has been there only for business trips):These guys are cool who are able to are coming home after a successful venture abroad. From one of my friend's view (who is a balikbayan):Balikbayans are losers who can't 'make it' in the States. Sino ang tama sa amin?

astroboy2000 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 kainis minsan.. kala nila porket balikbayan marami kang pera... di naman lahat ng balikbayan parang bangko e Quote Link to comment
guest1979 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We can not deny the truth that generally, friends and relatives of a balikbayan think that balikbayans have lots of moneys when they come home, even if you did not leave the country, when you go to your home provinces, your relatives would ask you for a treat and pasalubongs....
