Guest Riveria Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yung iba ang yabang parang lahat ng bago meron sila eh meron din naman dito ng meron sila. Pero one thing is for sure they are happy to be back to be with their loved ones. Quote Link to comment

RiverJordan Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Rather than viewing balikbayans with contempt and stereotype, I think it's important to remember that the only difference is "opportunity". As filipino-australians, we have been given that opportunity to make something of ourselves but nobody said it would be easy.We work 40+ hour weeks to put food on the table just like everybody else. If given the same opportunity I believe the locals would do exactly the same.We're no different; we eat rice, adobo, sinigang, tuyo and all that stuff. We complain about how much things costs, we worry about school fees and worry about our sick kids.We save what we can to afford that 4 week holiday in Manila and shopping sprees in Makati, not everyone is fortunate enough to be born with a silver spoon in their mouths. We certainly do not live an everyday life of luxury, we work just as hard if not harder to have the things that we have...at the end of the day, we just have that opportunity and that doesn't make us better or worse people than those back home.

Vegasboy32 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Kahit umuwi ako I would careless what other people think about me. Mas papansinin ko pa ba yung iniisip nila tungkol sa akin. That's their opinion so be it. Quote Link to comment
