Post About Filipinos

Hi there, Julyteen.:) thank you for standing for us all Filipinos here in Mylot though yu were not able to directly post your response to his discussion but I guess this topic here you have posted will surely hit his screen. I hate it that we often thought as the lowly class and it seems that we are always for the money... some people are just too narrow minded to just see one side of the box... In my case, I am not here merely for money. Because if I do, I will be here 24/7 the whle year through. And I'd keep on posting topics (never mind if there are sensible and relevant or not) and responding to discussions insensibly... I am here for friendship, to learn and to share my life. Matter of fact, I am here to seek comfort and company even if it is just virtually. My life is just so boring that I am thankful there is a site like Mylot wherein I can spend a little of my time venting, ranting, crying, laughing, thinking and a lot more. Mylot makes me feel like I am human. How's that? Money is just a bonus.:)

Honestly, I initially joined to make money. But seeing as to how many things I can learn form this site, making money is only secondary. I find it refreshing when I get to talk to people with different opinions. I am unemployed and bored, so mylot is a very welcome change from facebook. It's like forum that deals with everything. I actually answered that post. I really didn't mind answering it because I wanted him to understand what I am coming from. I can't speak for the rest of our countrymen, but I did say that the reason why there are many Filipinos(BTW, he spelled "Filipinos" wrong!) here in mylot is because majority of us have internet connections at home and since we have free time these days (sem break!), there is no harm in earning money online.

Hello July teen, Would you mind sharing me the profile link of this person? so that i can check it. If he questions us going in to mylot, how come he doesn't question others like the people from india, malaysia. how can he say unemployment where there are other nations who also experience this. I mean, why just US only? it's sort of down grading. well, our time will come. am here to have fun and earn as well. frankly, you can't make me waste time on some site for nothing.

hello julyteen! Whoever posted that thread is lucky, it was deleted before Filipino mylotters pounced on him through comments, lol. I pity the man though for being ignorant. Mylot earnings for any given month will not suffice as source for daily income, but the knowledge and friends you gain here, is worth millions. And having many Filipinos here, who write fluid English, is proof that we are an intelligent breed who can talk about any issues tackled here, just as fluently as other English speaking countries. Anyway, unemployment is rampant in the Philippines as is anywhere else in the world. To point out that its the cause of the presence of many Filipinos here is simply a racial discrimination. However, the presence of Filipinos in mylot or in any other websites that gives monetary rewards for postings, just shows that Filipinos are not lazy. Even in the midst of a financial constraint, we find legal ways and means to earn decently. I am speaking here for the majority of Filipinos who are in mylot mainly because of the knowledge, sharing of ideas and the socialization, monetary consideration is just an afterthought.

I did not seen such topic but anyway he/she reaped the result "deletion". Who deleted mylot admin? Anyway I'm here because I want something to share to everybody from my heart and my mind, my knowledge and experienced. In addition to that earning money, atleast here you learn, have friends, socialized, and interact with money involved that commensurate your effort... thanks for this kind of topic.. see you around...

It is very unfair on his part to discriminate based on nationalities.First thing is people enjoy talking here,even I am enjoying my stay here speaking to people making online friends etc. And a site becomes popular in many of the countries whe the popularity is high people just come in and if they enjoy their stay the will continue for longer period. Anyways forget about such annoying comments and have the fun.

If I would have been able to read that discussion, I would have been irritated. Why do people make the mistake others have already committed, being racist in discussions, and I hate how Filipinos are mostly the subject. I am here to earn, but what is wrong with that? I don't want to be a hypocrite and tell that I only want to socialize, I have facebook for that.

I use mylot mostly for research for my other online work or to check out new online opportunities. I also use it as a sort of temperature check on issues that we are currently facing in the country. Like texting, surfing is the new craze in the Philippines. Judging from all the "surf all you can" promos that ISPs have launched, Filipinos are venturing into the online world either to socialize or try to earn a few dollars. In most of the websites that I regularly visit, I see a lot of Filipinos there too. I was looking at the top countries in a site that I am currently obsessed in, that is locationary.com, and the Philippines ranks as the 6th country with most data entries. We are even ahead of India! To me that means that there are a lot of Filipinos entering data there. I think his comment that the reason why Filipinos populate the internet is because of unemployment is not necessarily true only to the Philippines. It shows that the person is ignorant of what is happening in the world, but that's his opinion. I would have loved to debate him on the issue.

Well, I think earning money is just one of the many reasons that Filipinos like you and me join mylot... I'm here for earnings and socializing too. I enjoy mylot because i learn new things from it and about other people too. I even share my problems here. At least mylot knows the post is quite offending that's why they deleted it immediately..Thank you mylot.

Well I'm glad it got deleted. If it were still up here, I'd shoot him with another question: "Do you seriously think that all the white people have all the best ideas?" or "So what are YOU doing here?" I'm Filipino-American and things like this infuriate me. As it does to most of us here.

we are here to earn and while it maybe true that some are unemployed, it still doesnt give anyone the right to comment negatively on why some choose to be here. not even a good idea to be picking on Filipinos for his post. at least Filipinos found a more decent source of earning than doing illegal stuff. and then there's the love of making new friends given we(generally) can be really nice and are always willing to help even with just sharing honest opinions. god bless that guy whoever he is. i hope he finds his reason, other than unemployment, as to why he is on mylot too.

That guy's ears could have good for kilawin...LOL. Obviously, I enjoy being here,for the conversations, the people, the insights and earning is not really my priority. Highly prejudiced remarks like what you saw should never be tolerated.

I think he's right at some point, I'm sorry. But I think that post is very much reality based, I mean we can't deny it or as an individual do anything about it. It cant be all ''pogi points'' all the time. But you are right as well, The last thing we need now is a broken spirit.. so KUDOS to that! thank you!

I am also a filipino and i got hurt because I don't expect that someone in this social networking will discriminate Fiipinos. He don't know what he is saying. May i ask what is his nationality.?

For me to learn and enhance my English and the same time I got money but it is not he priority.

He is right to an extent because is there's high unemployment rate in this country. But it doesn't follow that Filipino members join mylot due to unemployment, to me that's just a plain stupid analogy. I'm not saying that the poster is (well, may he is after all but sounds like a comment from a loser ). So far, the Philippines rank third as far as the number of members in this site so he should have asked the same question to Indians and US users as well who happens to be the first and second as far as the number of membership in this site is concerned. On personal level, I won't deny that I'm here to earn. My time is precious and i don't intend to use it in something unproductive. But i'm not here for the earnings alone, but wait...why should i justify why I'm active in this site? Maybe if someone asks that question in a nice way, i'll probably give an answer. Cheers!

I join MyLot because it is one of the best discussion sites online that anyone could join. The site has a good traffic which makes it a superb site for anyone who want to have more friends and at the same time earn extra money. Mylot is a grateful site. It does not allow blasphemy and unpleasant discussions. Mylot is one of the good discussion sites for people who want more friends online.The members are very friendly and you can ask help from them regarding things that you don’t know.Once you are a member of mylot, you are able to correspond easily with other members. There are lot of things that you can learn from the discussions posted in the site.

That's so funny of him to say that. What about him? What is he doing here? If I have read that, I would say that whatever is his reason for joining mylot, that would be the same for us Filipinos. We are enjoying mylot that's why most of us are here. Unemployment? well, i guess that' only on his mind. We Filipinos know how to balance our time. We can work at the same time enjoy social networking as this. Earning wise, come on...do you think we can do this full time for a living. We Filipinos are like that. We honestly workhard because we want a better life. So good it was deleted because if not, then probably, you'll read a novel here from Filipinos hehe

we are here to enjoy, share our positive feedbacks and well, maybe for earning too. He must know that Filipinos are hardworking and intelligent that why we are in different earning sites because of what we are by nature, di ba?

both, and to rich my vocabulary also...
