heard that Phillipinoes consider the Korean community in their country to be a pretty much closed society due to language and culture barriers even though such barriers are slowly eroding. I also heard that it's far more common to find Korean-Phillipinoes who regret coming to Phillippines than the ones who really made it in Phillippines. Well, I think that would be the case with immigrants in any countries.
Anyone out there who can give me a little story about life in the Phillippines for Koreans?

Most of the Koreans who came to the Phil. said that their reason for coming is for the cheap English classes and/or college tuition. English is very well taught in the Phil. Also, everyone born in one country always have a hard time coming to another, especially if you don't speak the language. Still, I believe most Filipinos (It's spelled this way, by the way) are okay with the Koreans.
