Filipino Habit That You Hate

Recommended Posts

A lot of Filipinos are guilty of blatantly and excessively associating themselves with another Filipino who has become famous and successful. Gives me the impression that they are in dire need of self-gratification by having to draw their pride and honor from someone else because they are well-known Pinoys. And I think that schools and books partly responsible for that "attitude" because we were taught and raised to be triumphalist to the extent that it's almost like taking/sharing credit for someone else's success. I don't mind when people say "proud to be Pinoy" but too much of it ain't cool. And it's only Pinoys who use such a line a little too much.

 

Another thing that really annoys me is how a lot of Filipinos are being sensitive towards racism when we are also racists (and so much into stereotypes) in our own ways (e.g. towards Indians - ay 5-6 5-6 mabaho, African Americans - negro and other politically incorrect terms, etc.). Pag Pinoy ang nilait or natamaan ng racist remarks, galit na galit. They will then retaliate and call those people racists and other things that are totally uncalled for, without noticing that they are already making racist remarks as well. Almost like criticism and feedback, whether constructive or not, from others is not welcome. Pinoy ako eh, magaling ako.

 

One more thing - some Pinoys are more discriminating towards their fellow Filipinos. Case in point - You walk in to a store and the sales people look at you from head to toe as if measuring you up and is very hostile towards you. Then comes a Caucasian girl/guy and the sales people suddenly become oh-so-hospitable and "natataranta" just to assist the foreigner.

 

How some of those blessed with a good command of the English language with good accent (whether or not English is your first language or as a result of years of training in call centres) laugh at other people's lack of good communication skills using the English language. Even sometimes hear them say "Ay Bisaya". Ikaw na, ikaw na ang magaling mag-English!

ugaling pinoy? judging ng kapwa kasi pinoy. lahat ng lahi may good and bad.

kung masama ang ugali ng isang tao, dahil yun sa masama talaga ang ugali nya.

walang trait o ugali na pinoy lang ang mayroon.

kaya tigilan na yang ugaling pinoy. walang "ugaling pinoy" meron ugaling tao o hindi tao!
