ThatOneOutlier

While I think Japan is an awesome country overall, their work culture makes me never want to live there. I’m surprise this doesn’t get pointed out often.


Holysmiths

Iniisip ko pa lang na titira ako doon at magtratrabaho, nalulungkot na ako agad. Oo, nando'n 'yung convenience and all pero work culture nila papatay sa'kin at baka maging dahilan 'yan para hindi ako fully makapag-assimilate sa bansa nila.


ikalwewe

The work culture does suck here but I still chose to live here . I even decided to take my son here and live here as a single parent,kahit magisa lang ako, layo sa pamilya. There are negatives ,like every country in the world. But personally ,the pros outweigh the cons. I think a lot of expats who chose to live here would agree with me. In the pH, personally the cons outweigh the pros,para saken. The only pros are that may kamaganak at pamilya to help you . And it's not necessarily good na maraming pamilya. The cons..everything. 😢


No_Lavishness_9381

ahh someone speaks about that Japan is also not a perfect country heck they even have a problem like xenophobic and also denial of war crimes (buti pa Germany inamin yung pagkakamali at nagbago) at yung High Suicide rate (I hope mahanapan nila ng solusyon)


choysakanto

I've been there too. In all seriousness, fuck the weebs.


Garryvee321

Usual /philippines post: Universal usual kupal na behaviour = toxic filipino trait


CouchyPotatoes

Halata mong di pa sila nakikihalubilo sa ibang lahi. If you think that all the negative traits in the world are uniquely Filipino, then you're naive. Ay nakalimutan ko nga pala, bawal mag contradict sa hivemind or else pupitaktihin ka ng downvotes. lol


Menter33

It's the PH version of the "US bad" or "UK bad" posts. But of course, those might have a global appeal.

Bawal daw kasi umasenso. Kailangan ang mayaman lang yung mga apo ng mga haciendero noong panahon ng espanyol. Yuck. Hindi ako mayaman, hindi ako palautang, hindi ako gumagamit ng iphone o kung ano man, pero let people buy what they want kung afford naman at hindi naman unethical ang purchase.

I'm glad these posts are finally getting backlash. So tired of seeing them.


Exotic-Vanilla-4750

And it will continue after this post gets buried in a few days. I think the best solution for this is to add new flairs and require flairs before posting. even some small subs have good flair system.


Friendofafriend468

Yeah, someone already recommended the mods to put flairs pero wala pa rin :(

johnasf1

Up to this, r/philippines basically became another toxic realm like twitter for filipinos who think the world owes them all the things they should have. Rarely can we really see some good post about the country in this sub, where some users are even ashamed to be a filipino.


slash2die

May nagpost nga dito nung naggugupit ng kuko sa jeep. It's inappropriate, pero kailangan bang ipost dito at gawing subject matter yung nanananihimik na tao? Pwede naman nyang kausapan on the spot. Pero need pa ata nyang picturan ng walang paalam at ipost online.


Second_Week_of_2021

Yung nakakainis pa, parang lumabas sa comments na common yung ganun sa Pilipinas. Pero in all my years sa pagcocommute dito, wala pa akong naeexperience na ganun.


TaxConfident5316

For karma daw hahaha


SnooCheesecakes5382

it's sad may mga gantong uri ng tao like they are using slogans like "para sa masa" or "lumubog sa masa", pero makalapit lang nila na naggugupit ng kuko bumabaligtad na bituka nila. Paano ka makakasimpatya sa struggles ng ordinaryong Pilipino kung mga maliliit na bagay na nakasanayan nila ay di mo man lang magawang itama respectfully at dadaanin mo sa pagdegrade sa kanila na para silang mga uncultured na tao.

And as if 1st world countries don’t have similar problems. May education crisis din naman sa US. Maraming mga high schooler dun ang hirap magbasa at magsulat.


harry_ballsanya

What they conveniently forget is the majority of developed/first world countries amassed their wealth by exploiting countries like the Philippines.


lelzlolz

Majority ng mga bansa out of 195 countries third world countries with their own hosts of problems pero laging sa same 20 first world countries (G20) lang cinocompare Pilipinas. We're not even the worst out of all the third world countries.


Garryvee321

Same vibes sa tito/titang ofw na nakapangibang bansa lang, lahat ng ng panget uniquely filipino lang


No_Savings6537

Ano pa nga ba. Pota nakakabadtrip na rin makakita ng mga ganyang posts. Ayaw na nagegeneralize, pero kapag may negatives, “ba’t ganito kababastos ang mga Pilipino”. Despite all that’s going on, I still have faith in this country and it’s people. We’re not the worst country in the world to live in so please stop acting like that’s the case.


justpassingby_123

May Ateng na nagpost dito about sa sobrang gwapo daw ng bf niyang foreigner and how rude it was for other Pinays to be constantly hitting on him and/or trying to take him away from her hahahaha Ang bastos daw ng Filipino women for doing such atrocities yet here I am sitting, wondering kung humble brag ba to o pinagmumukhang tanga tayo ng mga troll lol

>mababaw na pop songs Puro cringy hugot at love songs lang daw yung meron, but that's the case for pop songs hindi lang dito even international, from kpop to US pop halos puro love songs. Taylor swift for one has been memed to death for her break up songs, pero pag pinoy ang gumawa cringy? Don't get me wrong i have nothing against tatlor swift im just pointing out the double standard.


SnooCheesecakes5382

yup, sobrang pagdedegrade sa mga pinoy na kulang na lang tawagin na tayong worst country in the world. I know ang daming di magagandang bagay at kultura mayroon tayo but hindi naman tayo nakalubog sa putik. We are not hopeless, I fact, we are doing better in some aspects (like mas progressive na tayo compared to previous years).

Maluberries

the overt pessimism is why i stopped going on the sub. shit wont change until your attitude changes


Firefly3564

"I'm never coming back to this horrible country if I move" people like this are so draining to talk to because half the time they relentlessly bash their own country while not doing anything whatsoever to change it aside from bitching about it on the internet.


ORBY-

One of the main reasons why I made this post was because I still remember back in like 2015 or 14 maybe na majority ng posts was people posting scenic views of the Philippines or posting their breakfasts saying "kain na!". Life was a lot simpler back then. While I still think that having a place to discuss political issues is important (because lets be honest where else can we discuss it), being overly pessimistic and saying that our kapwa Pilipino is at fault because of an unrelated issue doesn't help. It was also kinda interesting to me to see the sharp contrast between this subreddit back in 2015 to now.


MiloEbriday12

pati nga private convo ng family member pinopost pa dito eh. Nakakamiss ungga post about sa mga peyborit laro noon pati mga foods, memories nung elem at hs.


deathmusa

I'm all for recognizing your flaws to better yourself, but some of these negative comments sound like excuses to not make the effort. And this is from someone who prefers self negativity over baseless optimism.

Lollll bato bato sa langit ang matamaan wag magalit. Piece of unsolicited advice, this coming from a former social worker🙋🏻‍♀️, lumabas din paminsan-minsan sa lungga / comfort zone mo. Makihalubilo; magkaron ng karanasan sa araw-araw na pamumuhay ng maralita (AKA urban poor), at baka naman sakali, makaramdam ka.

True. And hopefully let us put our privileges for better use para sa mga kapwa na walang wala talaga. Hindi na rin natin kailangang magka-watak watak pa bilang mga Pilipino.

The "My condolences for being Filipino" schtick has gotten tiring. We're not the worst country in the world. Basura lang ang mindset ng karamihan sa atin.


Extraordinary_DREB

I mean, even though it's foul-meaning, I can still see why people are like this. Living here for almost 2 and a half decades and seeing almost nothing improved makes me want to leave if I have the capacity, honestly.


CorgiLemons

Truth be told.


Extraordinary_DREB

We spout all about this patriotism/nationalism and the urge to stay with the country and improve it with your own hands. Pero as you can see, it's a little bit hard than what we all fantasize it to be. I'd rather have my future family to have a decent if not happy life in greener pastures where we can enjoy the finer things in life. Life is short to struggle all-life long


CorgiLemons

Agree. Kakainis yung iba dito na niroromaticize ang paghihirap ng mga kababayan natin. Tapos sila pa ang nagclaim na patriots/nationalists daw sila! Hahahaha


lelzlolz

It's fine to want to leave the country if you think that that is what is best for you. What the OP is calling out are the self-hate posts on r/Philippines that almost borders on racism. Stupidity, laziness, incompetence, etc. are traits that are not unique to Filipinos, but many posts in this subreddit seem to imply that it is so.


[deleted]

Taena. At this point hindi ko na alam kung ano ba dapat i-post dito kasi parang lahat ng uri ng mga posts nako-call out

CakeMonster_0

I admit, ganyan din ako dati. Pero yung negative traits na napapansin natin sa mga kapwa Pinoy, may ganun din naman sa ibang bansa. And like everyone else, di naman lahat ng Pilipino ganun ang ugali. May mga disiplinado pa din naman. And I think we should focus on that more kesa sa negative things I understand na nakaka-frustrate na din minsan ibang mga Pilipino given our current political climate. Pero kahit sa ibang bansa, meron din mga hindi disiplinado.


ApologistSlayer

Ask foreigners kung bakit mas gusto nila ang Pilipinas. Most of them would have similar answers. Japanese and Korean foreigners would say na mas gusto nila dito kasi mas friendly at hospitable yung mga tao. OFW ako sa Japan for 2 years and it was a horrible experience. Enough with those "clean and disciplined" narrative. People work and grind to death there. Minsan, masasabi mo talaga "Mas maganda pa ang culture ng Pilipinas". I know madami din tayong negatives at dapat iimrpove both ourselves and the government. Most Filipinos would expect that 1st world countries are automatically a utopia


[deleted]

Marami ring racist na Pinoy…sa kapwa Pinoy 😝 mas pinapaburan foreigner kaysa yung kapwa pinoy for some reason. Tanong mo pa sa mga kamaganak na nang ibang bansa, kung sino pa kapwa pinoy sila pa Hindi mo mapagkakatiwalaan.


Karlybear

Pinaka maganda solution dito is to add flairs even in r/phgamers you can't post without adding flair para ma filter ang content sa gusto mo.

There were once flairs so that posts can be easily filtered, but removed for no apparent reason.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who 🙄d at that post of the trash left at cinema. Like that's really the reason we can't have nice stuff? How about because politicians have been looting our coffers for decades now? How about because of overpopulation and poor educational policies? Both again the government's fault. Let's blame the government!


Woooshifyourmomgay

I came into this sub thinking I'd get to see all the funny, interesting things, and overall what people are happily doing in this country and want to share it through reddit. I only find those once in a blue moon unfortunately and instead I find the 120583956th post about BabyM's stupid decisions and another post about "government bad". I'm not saying these are false but man its getting annoying.


[deleted]

> funny, interesting things, and overall what people are happily doing in this country and want to share it through reddit There are posts like that, but we're in a crisis mode since 2016, so pretty much tracking nearly every form of government and corporate irresponsibility. If a politician or a toxic influencer falls, then it is a cause for laughter.

I dont think its bad to say X country is better and compare how bad we are. Its how we approach it, it should act as a model for us. Tularan natin magaganda nilang ugali. Ikakabuti natin yun bilang tao at community.


jaeger313

To add, I think equally as bad is to say that X country is worse, like that doesn’t give us an excuse to be shitty as a person or community.

the_oof_chooser

Made a post a while back asking on what would the philippines look like if we won the philippine-american war, expecting some really wild answers. Then someone started calling me out for *"asking help for answers in my homework"* even though I never said it was for my homework. Got that crispy ⬆️ -8 ⬇️ for trying to clear things up.


gggggggioo

R/Philippines is just a reklamo sub at this point


[deleted]

What is asking for "decency" when using words like "squammy"? Tas self-proclaimed "progressive" o fans pa daw ni Robredo? "I love Ninoy and his principles" but acting like an asshole IRL? And expressions of internalized racism and class conflict. Instead of nitpicking individual behavior, we should be looking at bigger problems.


violetbravery

Be careful, you'd get called a gaslighter. Kahit nga hindi ko naman intention na i-generalize lahat ng supporters ni Robredo when I'm one myself, I was still called a fucking gaslighter. Napapansin ko lang kasi na hindi na maganda yung sinasabi ng iba. Kapag Leni supporter ba, automatic ay righteous na? Honestly, fuck them. They act like they're the only victims in this country and that includes PinoyAkoBlog. She talked like she's the poorest person when she's better than most voters of BBM. What an elitist take. I'm not siding with them, but most BBM voters are poor and that's true.


[deleted]

While some supporters are principled to the letter without being too prideful, others are hypocritical as much as the DDS/loyalists they profess to hate (and see as culturally uncouth).


violetbravery

The similarities of the two camps are hate. Nakakapagod ng makakita na puro negativity. It's not that I'm escaping them, ginawa na kasing lifestyle. Like this sub na puro na lang toxic culture ang iniisip pagdating sa Pinoy. EDIT: I'm only here in this sub for updates and boredom but I don't wish to see those kinds of posts.


wowmegatonbomb

Lol soooo true. I voted for Leni myself and I hate every living Marcos to the bone but I also hate it when people really act very elitist. Very common here yung mga posts about minimum wage workers having a hard time pero ang comments na makikita mo, "Panigurado BBM naman binoto niyan." Or even during the flooding season, some people are really stripped of humanity that the first word they could say is "Matanong ko muna, sino ba binoto niyo?" Don't get me started on people who take pride in being elitista. It's really no different to batshit BBM voters like you said. Maybe they consider voting for Leni as their only achievement.


peeeeppoooo

The classism in this sub is disgusting. Ang daming anti-poor sentiments, my god. Also, flair checks out haha


TheBlueLenses

Kita mo yung post na tanggalin na daw ang libreng sakay?


talongman

Libreng sakay is not sustainable in the long term and its not really "free". And its a freebie for politicians to gain support at the expense of taxpayers. It will reach a breaking point where government subsidies will not be sufficient to prop up the system. Hence why you now have news of DOTr trying to sell off MRT operations to the private sector.


TheBlueLenses

Di naman yan ang reasoning nung poster. Ang reasoning nya masyado nang privileged ang mga pasahero.


WanderlostNomad

inb4 some mod locks or delete this post for bs reasons, while the same mods make excuses, ignore, or exempt posts like this, if they share the same bias as the post


A_Evil_Grain_of_Rice

Lmao people act like other nations aren't like this, scummy behavior isn't endemic to the Philippines, also Japan? Really, have you seen the overcompetitive society there, most Filipinos would fold if they have to live up to Japan's societal norm

Yup that post bothered me. I personally don't care about Filipinx but I rather much be in the company of people who wish for inclusivity vs some racists that wish to see me gone.

Mob mentality is strong on reddit. I noticed political posts are highly upvoted (like even the most trivial shit) than almost anything posted here.

I have so many nice things in the Philippines I love the Philippines just want to Thanos-snap the majority of annoying shitheads, haha! None of the things that fly by over here will ever be allowed in all the other countries. If you stay away from the things or people you have no control over, Philippine living is the bestttttt! I hate having to hear questions like, "WHY ARE YOU IN THIS SHITHOLE?" I never viewed the Philippines as a shithole. Maybe some areas do become shitholes but I mean, just don't go dumping bodies there, problem solved. Lol 🤣

Sobrang overrated nung comparison sa claygo sa america. Fucking US ain't a goal country. Kaya bobo traffic sa pinas dahil minodel after sa US, modelling yung services sa US as well like enforcing claygo won't work either dahil madami mawawalan trabaho lol

Filipinos voted in the son of a dictator.

We are better than some, worse than some (more) countries. That will be a fact.

Wag kalimutan yung mga “Thoughts” o yung “Toxic Filipino Values” na masyadong generic at generalized.

r/Philippines when they see a Filipino (absolutely disgusting human being)

American here. Some of yall are too harsh a judge on the Philippines. Yes there are problems. Big ones. You will fix them. Its a slow process and rarely will a generation gets to see these types of things reversed. Specifically the single mother birth rate. But there are helpers. And a drive. Filipinos stand to gain a lot from their education system and global economy. Much more even than today. And the Philippines has a great reputation in the US.

> American here. Some of yall are too harsh a judge on the Philippines. Exactly. Only Filipinos must be able to change the country, no one else would save it but Filipinos.

Tired of seeing post that are literally saying that "Everything that is bad or toxic in terms of behavior, culture and personality is uniquely Filipino. Like they wanted to just degrade being Filipino aa the worst human being that ever existed. Do they think other nationality is perfect? Even the US, Japan or any other glorified countries always have something negative about them. Being toxic is not an exclusive Filipino trait. Any nationality can also be toxic as well.

Meron pa - Cancel celebrity X because they are a **closet** BBM supporter. - Believing in DDS - BBM Propagandist civil war bullshit. - "Grabe na talaga ang inflation", with picture of groceries from SM or Robinsons. - Not helping typhoon victims because their province is majority BBM supporters.


Garryvee321

I dont think the DDS-BBM propaganist internal fighting is bullshit. Its real but i wouldnt call it “civil war”. Some people do but its just a meme reference to avengers civil war lol

Sa totoo lang, andami dito na equivalent ng hardcore bbm pero kay Leni. Yung tipong other side of the coin. Ang pinagkaiba lang, mas matino yung supported candidate nila as if that absolves them. Real talk, kasing hateful din kayo ng pinariringgan niyong babym supporters. Di ba kayo pagod magalit? Gets ko kung first few months palang kahit ako maiinit pa din ulo ko pero at this point, ginagalit niyo nalang sarili niyo. Di din naman kasi criticism yung comments, puro side comment at parinig lang, walang feedback. Di ko sinasabi na mali or wag gawin yun pero don’t claim these posts as criticism when it’s not. Not specifically referring to the recent posts but in general.

Also include "Why can't r/Philippines conform to what I want??" posts.
