It depends on where that certain Filipino lives...\nMost of my Filipino friends that live in America act more "western" and have more of a connecting with American habits...

Dr. José Protacio Mercado Rizal y Alonzo Realonda \n(June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896), \n\nvariously called the "Pride of the Malay Race," "The Great Malayan," "The First Filipino," "The Messiah of the Revolution," "The Universal Hero" and "The Messiah of the Redemption." He is the national hero of the Philippines. Despite his relatively short life, Rizal's passion as a patriot together with his intelligence as one of the first Third World intellectuals of the post-colonial era have inspired succeeding thinkers and revolutionaries of the centrality of national identity as a social force in the project of nation-building. He is called by Benedict Anderson as one of the best exemplars of nationalist thinking.

I think you had two thoughts ram into each other.  As a Filipina, growing up a better life meant getting a good job, going to school, and eventually having a family.  How is that bad?  We believe that you get what you give.  We help others because we are told that it will ultimately get rewarded by someone doing the same for us.  How is that bad?  Here's an identity for you.  Before you talk about Filipinos and pretend to know Filipinos, live like one.  Grow up as we have.  Until then, don't talk because you think you know, but you really don't.

Filipinos in the Philippines tend to love anything "American" from the music to fast food to Levis.  English is very prevalent in the Phillipines.  What other Asian country can boast of that?  \n\nWith saying this, how is the Phillipines different than any other country who has been heavily occupied in the past by U.S. military forces?  Wherever the American military have set up shop the surrounding area takes on an American flavor?  Just look outside any base in any foreign country and you'll see all the proof you need.  Restaurants will tend to accommodate American tastes and eating hours.  A crop of drycleaners or laundry services will be available.  Anything that can be marketed to Americans will be readily available. \n\nIt has always been my experience (Filipino is my background) that Filipinos, especially my own relatives feel that American goods are superior.  Why else would we always send boxes and boxes full of chocolates, soaps, canned food products, clothes, etc.?  It is not that Filipino goods are inferior.  Quite the contrary.  People always wants something different and in this case our influence in clothing, food, music, whatever has heavily permeated throughout the Filipino culture.

I hope you can be proud of what you do and who you are.  And if you are trying to show off your accomplishments, the  Question  is "are you" not "don't you".   There are a lot  of wonderful things about the culture.  What are you going to add?

The average Filipino worker is very industrious, consistent in the quality of work produced, and tries his best every day.  He follows all the rules without question, but may turn a blind eye to a co-worker's wrongdoings or make up for a co-worker's shortcomings, all with the good intention of keeping his job.\n\nDoing more than what is expected is the exception; the few who do have their boss's job as their goal, and once promoted to management, the usual attitude is to work less yet expect his staff to worker harder.  He becomes complacent now that his goal has been achieved.  In short, long-range goals are not in scope.\n\nHowever, with guidance and career pathing, he can be molded.  But the successful Filipino manager always has to keep in mind the Filipinos' love for life, for fun, which is a part of the daily Filipino life.  This is not a week-end only practice, as it is for the Americans.

I find that the Chinese can be the most reflective nationality...The Japanese are the most careful when it comes to preservation and balance...The Koreans have the best language in the world, bar none...The Vietnamese have a pride and self-respect that is unmatched...The Filipinos have a strength that most others in their position would scarcely uphold... Hard to choose. Nice question. :)

Ala-eh magandang umaga!  I'm an American...have many Filipinos working for me aboard my ship...some are from Batangas...Batangueños are hard-working, smart, and funny, just like all Filipinos (and Filipinas).  Would love to go there some day.
