Filipino Hospitality

[protein_gusher]

I think Filipinos are hospitable because we are. It is a good trait to keep and be proud of.

 

my original question delves into the real or hidden reason why we are hospitable.

 

whether we realize it or not, i think that we are hospitable because we feel inferior. races that feel superior to others are rarely hospitable people.

 

maybe the next time we are feeling hospitable (specially in the case of foreigners) we can pause a moment and ask ourselves: "am i treating this person/s well because i feel/am inferior to them?" would you treat them the same if they were your brown kababayans whom you feel are beneath you?

 

strip away all the pretense and go deep down into your real feelings.

this inherent quality of us pinoys makes us boast about our heritage handed to us by our forefathers. I think that more than the feeling of inferiority, it is our ability to make our guest feel at home that make us a good host to say the least. I hope that this quality in us will indeed propel our country into Asia's top tourist destination in the near future.

hospitality has nothing to do with having an inferiority complex. I dont see any french with i.c. being hospitable, even to their countrymen.

 

masyadong kasing mabait ang mga pinoy, we abolished slavery a loooooooong time before the americans went to war over it. sa mga "god fearing" onaks, ang paglatigo sa isang slave is normal. sa pinas, kapag minura mo ang katulong mo, ikaw ang masama. a world of difference. too bad the thais are giving pinoys a run for their money in the "hospitable" business.

nasa magandang pagpapalaki lang 'yan.

Hospitality is a virtue not a character flaw (e.g. inferiority complex)

[popoyman]

I think it is because we are more civilized.

Somehow, it's because of cultural heritage. And well, you know how we always want to show off.

 

But well, this is actually worth a note.

pinoy are hospitable by nature, it's because of the spanish trait and culture we inherited. but the difference is wealth, spaniards are more wealthy compared to pinoys so in short parang nagiging impractical tayo at all times resulting to pagiging mayabang. kahit wala ka ng pera basta may maihanda ka lang oks na! yan ang pinoy.

Hinde ko rin alam kung sincere o pakitang tao lang ang Filipino hospitality. I'd like to think it's the former.

I imagine some people are really sincere, while the others pretend to be hospitable because they're expected to.

Nothing wrong with that. With limit lang and know when to stop
