He hates his motherland

There are a lot of things to comaplain about in Philippines but to post it every now and then in fb is exaggerated. Everyone already knows about the traffic, the smogs, the people. I think he's just getting attentions you know, the typical style to get an attention and boast.

It does not really surprise me that someone might hate the country where they were born and/or raised regardless of what country it is. People like different things, and nobody gets to choose where they are born and raised. What does surprise me, though, is that if he hates it so much, then why would he purposely vacation there unless perhaps he is there because his family wanted to go back for a visit?

well one thing you could do so you won't get stressed... unfriend him

he's like the prodigal son. but you can't blame him if his rants are true. he complains about smog? maybe the place he lives in is a provincial area where you have to travel hours to the nearest city, but good for him. I'm sure he just misses metro manila. heavy traffic, I guess he migrated to new zealand where people say you can sit in the middle of the road and no cars will pass by. weather? maybe he just migrated a few months and the woes of winter haven't sink in to his senses yes. In due time he'll long for the philippines or maybe he already have, he's just expressing his homesickness by ranting.

If he so much abhor the country of his birth why did he had to spend money and time to visit the place that make him feel so stressed out. Maybe he deserve a smack in the head to regain some of his wits and stop projecting a sleek image by looking down at our culture.

hmmm... I can not stand some rantings over over again. I mean when my first started to rant about her new work from new land. she ranted over and over again. as if she is seeking attention of everyone. I commented how wonderful job I have now. She told me If I am okay for it seems like I am a cookoo... being overly and exaggeratedly happy but I am... that is just to tell her that her rants were getting in my nerves already. Then since I can not fight her because she is a friend.. I just hid her facebook wall hahaha...

I think we need to ban her in our country. Let her stay the country where she live. I think she need warning from the Filipino people that even live in other country but still thankful to be here again and meet with their families and friends. Arrogant person I know

hello mylotter, i donot know to some Filipinos once step in other country, lived and work there have change their attitude or should i say abandoned their homeland? where in fact it is more comfortable to live in your own hometown. dont worry once your friend become old he would realize that there is no place like home

Hi, He sees more than we do having been away and seeing things from a certain perspective. That's how educational travel can be. It expands one's horizons, learning new things and having new perceptions and insights. Makes one self-contradictory and prone to intolerance if not properly oriented though.

Some people cAfter tasting how good the place where they migrated they would keep comparing Philippines to it. But not my friend who has already migrated to Canada. They are always looking forward to coming home for a vacation, because to them , no matter what, "there's no place like home".

Oh..that's really disrespectful,but you know there is greediness and wickedness in every country.It's everywhere you go,because it is not a country thing,it is a human thing.Some countries may be worse off than others,but overall,there is evil and good everywhere.

Just never mind him. Most people would miss the place where they grew up. I guess his different. No country or place is perfect. Other countries may be better in some aspect than ours but I know there are still a lot of things about our country that we can be proud of.

I think, he's the only person I heard who talked badly about the Philippines. Most of my relatives and friends who are now out of this country missed their lives here. They wanted to live here during their retirement. How could he think badly about his homeland.

This person is proud and a pathetic pessimist. I know our country is not much to look at. If he rants in front of me I'd kick him out, who wants a person like that in our country anyway. "Don't even bother coming back you a@@hole." I'd tell him that. Childish little stinking fish(Rizal calls these people stinkier than a stinky fish or something like that.)

Yes perhaps he shouldn't have gone back even for a vacation. I admit that our country has a lot of flaws but we have some beautiful things to boast about too. We have great beaches here, better than other country's. Maybe your friend has plenty of reasons to hate our country. Just don't listen to him

That is sad that someone hates his homeland to the point of like he is not one at all. I sure hope someday he would appreciate it to the point that it is acceptable to him again. Maybe that person did experience a very bad life here and when he was given the opportunity to get out he was able to meet the opposite from outside of this country.

I think he should meet one person who hates country X. Then again, most of the time, I would like to believe that it is the country's govenrment that tehy are bashing. But if he continues, please advise him to carry another citizenship and passport. Nobody here likes his ilk.

Why did he comeback? simple somewhere deep inside his tainted heart, he still love this country, he still misses this country but he is in a deep denial that he still care for this nation. he just act like that way because he felt superior now he is a 2nd class citizen in a first world country. he just feel snobbish on his new found social status or caste. he is just a Philistine in denial of something.

Tell him the Philippines doesn't like him either so the feeling's mutual lol! It does make me annoyed to hear some "hotshots" act like they're high and mighty just because they're "no longer Filipinos so we can trash the Philippines now". I have seen a couple of them here and it was really so sad. Those who have been born here by Filipino parents are even more eager to be known of their lineage and are equally excited to learn of the Philippines. Just let him be. He's parly bragging and I think anybody who needs to resort to foul mouthing someone or something have a lot of insecurities that's why they have to go that low.

hi, He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.... your friend needs an advice coming from you who cares at him.
