I have been existing in this world for almost 40 years. I am a filipino and has spent most of those years in the Philippines. I am not sure if my observations are true, just try to read some and share a comment. We are talking about observations here in general, of course a few still embrace the old Filipino attitude.
a) Most Filipinos in the U.S. are not as generous as Filipinos living in the Philippines.
Explanation:
Filipinos in the Philippines are fond of giving something to their lovedones and friends during birthdays, special events, in times of need and emergencies.
The amount usually given ranges from 50 pesos to 300 pesos ; However, after living in the United states for a considerable time, they cannot afford to share even just 40 pesos to lovedones or friends in the Philippiines. It seems to be so big to share.
Note: It appears to be contradictory, because Filipinos in the Philippines earn very little compared to their fellow Filipinos living in the United states.
b) Most Filipinos in the United states communicate less with their friends and acquaintances in the Philippines.
Explanation:
When they were in the Philippines, they write, call or text their friendsor acquaintances a lot. When they stay in America, they became so busy that they can’t even write a single e-mail or text to their friends ( except to their closest lovedones ).
Note: I feel( this is just a feeling ) that they are avoiding frequent contact to friends and acquaintances, because they have the idea that the latter cannot contribute to them in anyway, but only ask for money or help. So to avoid that kind of a situation, they will lessen the communication to develop a gap in between.
I will not say more, I encourage you to observe, then write it down. Send it to this e-mail address: dreamreal96@yahoo.com
