Describe the Filipinos...

I don't like Philippine tv shows and some movies. They have low quality and the editing is bad unlike the Western shows. I have favorites tho but only few.

@iridion9 mostly noon time and evening time tv dramas. As for the movies, some are really boring because of their cliche plots.

@Lunarus ok

@Lunarus I'm from India.my mom had that experience when she was in Kuwait.

@NoorNoor there a many Filipino domestic helpers in Kuwait before but the President pulled them out last month. The issue is about domestic violence. Some Filipinos are abused by their employers. I'm glad that your mom had a nice experience with Filipinos.

I always hear that Filipinos working abroad are very hardworking. Where are you from Noor?

Yes. Filipinos have extended families. A Filipino house may have 5-8 members including the grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. lol We also serve lots of foods especially during the town fiesta. Our famous Filipino food is the adobo and lechon. And yes, karaoke cannot be missed. In every Filipino celebration, there is always a karaoke.

@Lunarus One family we know has the elder parents, parents, and one child there. We know many others who do not have much family here, so the bigger families "adopt" the smaller ones so they will not be alone (they all get together and take care of each other whenever possible). Our friend's "Nanay" makes us pancit for these gatherings because she knows we like it. I've had adobo and lechon as well! Another family we know has their handy dandy Magic Microphone for these karaoke parties .

@Lunarus -- my master chief was from Alabama (where they have very pronounced southern accents), and our master-at-arms was Filipino. One day the master at arms came in and said, "Master Chief, can I borrow your hammer?" With his accent, though, it sounded like he said hummer. My master chief, with that thick Alabama accent, replied, "Hummer? I ain't got no damn hummer!" One of my favorite memories of my time stationed in Jacksonville. There are many different accents in the US, too, and people in New England make fun of the southerners and southerners make fun of New Englanders. It's all part of how you learned to talk, including pronouncing things, when you were growing up.

Thank you for treating them kindly. Some Filipinos have strong accents since we have lots of dialects here. They are used to their dialect's accent which influences the way they speak English. We speak 3 different languages (Mother Tongue, Filipino and English) so the shifting of accents sometimes confuses us.

@Lunarus Duh i got that spelling wrong .. it does gross me out to see those pictures.. of Lechon but i got all of it right didn't I?

@sofssu We call our roasted pig here "Lechon". It may sound gross to foreign people but we enjoy eating it. Yes. We do love to party and sing karaoke in all occasions,

Thank you for sharing your perceptions Sassy. :)

@Lunarus welcome:)

It's okay Sanjeev. You will encounter Filipinos soon. Filipinos can be found around the world. lol

Thank you for your comments Julito. Yes, most families prefer to spend their time together in the malls so they can chill and buy stuffs for the next week.

You're a blogger? Cool! What's the name of your blog? What are you blogging about?

@Strawberry18 Some are kind, some are rude.

Thank you for reminding me of putting my location Rheicel! Yes, I agree with you. The dominant positive trait is hardworking while the dominant negative trait is crab mentality.
