how do you deal with a Filipino friend in your country?

If they are legally in the country you should treat them as you would any other friend, it is a good thing to have a friend, so you are lucky to have her as one, so treat her right or you may lose the friendship.

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...

Me and my friend are Phillipines and we know\n\nDilis, we think. It may not be right, but we're rather young (below 20's), so we might be wrong. Hope it helps!! :D

Tell her that you would enjoy yourself while learning something new in other places and you get to know your friend more and learning other cultures. If that doesn't work, you can always try the 'I promise i'll get you souvenirs'.\n\nLol ;)

I think if you are friendly and try to open up to her, they will open up as well. Give her time to get to know you and she won't be so shy anymore. Here's a site with some tips and maybe some words you can learn. She'll appreciate your trying to learn and get a laugh out of the words coming out of your mouth. \n\nhttp://www.beijingscene.com/V05I025/comrade/comrade.htm\n\nGen zhongguoren jiao pengyou\n跟中国人交朋友\nMaking Friends With Chinese People \n\nThree signs that you are becoming friends with a Chinese person: \n1. He or she starts making fun of you in a joking manner. Only true friends\nwill do this. Other Chinese people would be afraid of insulting you.\n2. He or she asks for something of yours or asks a favor of you without\nprofusely thanking you or saying things like 'buhao yisi' (how embarrassing) or 'mafan ni' (I'm troubling you).\n3. In a word, he or she acts very suibian (at ease; open) and\ndispenses with ceremonial formalities. For example, suishi (randomly)\ncalling you to chat or dropping by unannounced

i really think they (Filipinos) have a very rich culture. yes, discrimination is really rampant for asians but the good thing about them is that they keep on smiling and fighting for who they are and for their culture. you just have to know them more..be with them for some time and see how they live their lives positively.

I met my husband via the internet several years ago.\n\nWe were chat buddies at first.  Later, we met in person.  Our bond grew.  Later, we married ourselves to each other.\n\nHe gives me a wake up call every morning.  We talk on the phone often.  We do Yahoo chat together nearly everyday of the week.  \n\nThis is OUR marriage, and we're really quite proud of it.  He lives in the Philippines.  I work and live in the USA, but I consider the Philippines my true home.  In a heartbeat, I would sponsor him to come to the USA, but neither of our countries legally affords Gays any immigration benefits.  So, we do what we have to do.  I'm fortunate that my job gives me June, July, and a few weeks in December off, so that I can be with him.  When I am finished with my career, I will retire to be with him there.

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.

firstly, are you sure you're not one of those girls? Don't take offense, im not trying to insult you. It's just that you referred to her as 'some asian girl'. If you feel bad about her being ignored, that's a good thing. it means you have a heart. but just think about how she must be feeling. Try talking to her, be nice to her. Mind u, i'm not saying to be nice out of pity. but if you never try speaking to her, you may never know what sort of a friend you're missing out on.\nAt my school, we had a lot of international students from the asian region. They could all speak english pretty well, but they tended to keep to themselves. But i still spoke to some of them and some of them ended up becoming quite good friends of mine. Don't be afraid to break through the barriers. loneliness is one of the saddest things a person has to face. There is too much going on in this world for us to tolerate racism. It's when we allow racism to succeed that we get events like the Holocaust, and the Stallinist purges.\nReach out to her. She's human too, and for all you know, friendship from you could be just what she needs. Never underestimate the need for friendship. Don't worry about what other people think of you if you do this. Being nice to someone has its own rewards, and it's the right thing to do.

I haven't been to many countries outside of the US but I think the situation goes both ways.  I live in Southern California and there are many Spanish speaking people who get angry at me for not understanding Spanish.  Many Asian people have also gotten mad because they assume I'm Vietnamese, Japanese, etc and are disappointed that I can't communicate with them.  I live in an area where tourism is very popular and I've seen many non-English speaking people flare up when they can't their idea across.  Language barriers can be very frustrating.  I wouldn't see it as arrogance but then again I don't travel much.    \n\n  A friend of mine commented, "Why move to another country and be so lazy you don't even learn the main language?"  I wouldn't call them lazy because I know how hard it is to learn a new language.  I do however, wish that people at least take the time to ask "Do you speak [insert language here]?" before they start firing off lectures and interrogations in their language.  I made sure to learn how to ask that in Tagalog before I went traveling to the Philippines.

I am not sure, but do you mean, another culture? \n\nThe person will appreciate it a lot if you dont make them feel like they are "different" or make them feel left out. Show interest in their culture, and ask them questions about it. Like how long they have been in the country, where their family is etc. Just show ur curiosity basically.\n\nAlso, another nice thing would be that if you going out somewhere with your other friend (or even alone) ask the person to join you! They will truly appreciate you and will go home smiling.
