just how accurate is this? do the chinese really run the economy in the philippines? NO. let me ask you this question. do asians own america? i mean on the average we make the most money? so yes we do! sike. no we don't. white people do. you see what makes me mad about the chinese is their irrogance. it's the same irrogance they gained from their european counterparts and i hate that. do you really think communist china would allow the same opportunities the philippines does. NO. liberal PI's does . another question. who's writing all of this. the chinese. think about. the chinese are very jealous of filipinos in the US. they are. i don't know why when we didn't do anything to them.

1NE

Why you hatin' on them Chinese folks?

They done nothin' to you.

You should look at some statistics and learn proper grammar before posting threads about success and intelligence. I recommend hitting the books before dishing out words like "arrogance."

Yes, the Chinese have an unusually large control of Philippines business compared to their population size, that's a fact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Filipino

Yes, Asians earn the highest in America--higher than whites.

Does communist China offer more opportunities than the Philippines? Probably. Do you have any idea how fast China's economy is growing? It's growing at a higher percentage rate than the Philippines.

Who's writing what? What the fu-k are you talking about?

Don't embarass us any longer. Hit the books.

They've already copied spiderman 3 before it hit theaters. Anyway stay in school, work hard, there is no need to hate on the chinese.

What the hell are you b*tching about? And since when have we ever been jealous. STFU and get a life.

im not i just wanted to see what yall was thinking. fil-ger are you chinese?

????? what does spiderman 3 have to do with this ?

Nope. I'm just presenting facts. You can't address an issue honestly unless you face the truth of the matter.

Saying "Chinese are jealous of Filipinos" does not make it so unless you can provide substantial evidence. Doing otherwise (i.e., not providing evidence) just makes Filipinos look unintelligent and uneducated.

your a fool

Your response pretty much sums up the fact that you are a fool.

Do u really know the situation of chinese in the Philippines??? Oh man alot of chinese in the Philippines are greatly influenced by filipino culture.....they are our kababayans.

And how in the hell does that relate to jealousy? So based on your logic every foreigner who immigrates to other countries and integrates into there society and culture is doing so because there jealous? Alot of chinese in the philippines are probably influenced by your culture but alot of your customs and filipino traditions are also influenced by the chinese so whats your point?

I meant they are our fellow countrymen

its not like the asians in the islands are trying to mix with the locals, family wise....
they just want your business...

no need to get all confused about it...i mean, if you visit hong kong, majority of the philipppinos are domestic workers i.e home servants....

just there to make a living...

If so then i apologize but it came off alittle bit differently when you said it like that.

tsinoys(chinese-filipinos) and pinoys must learn to live and work together side by side for the sake of a better Philippines. Ethnicity and race has never been a problem in the Philippines...though we must kick whitey(spanish mestizos) out for the the Philippines. Thats my only qualms. Asia for Asians...whitey go home

Ye nice , thats the spirit , Asians need to learn to coexist and cooperate Asia is for Asians

and that what i was stressing this whole time! thank you

most of the chinese filipinos i know of lost connections with the mainland/chinese countries a long time ago, but iam sure there are still some connection..besides, why complain if the economics is set up for people to do their thing?

when did Chinese say they ran the economy of Phillipines??? btw, even if they did, you make it sound like a plan...are you on crack? if they are rich it was because they worked hard, there is no great plan to take over peoples economy...at least no one told me about it....

How'd you know, you lived there?

Unlike in other countries, it is not taboo back in the RP to mix with the locals. The Chinese back home are well assimilated to the Filipino culture. Heck, even majority of them are Christians nowadays. Race is not really a big issue back home, how many race riots have heard occured in the RP?
No wonder the RP is the country of choice of many Koreans retiring.


Filipinos go to HK to work and send it to their families and save enough to start a business back home.

Chinese go to the Philippines to live a better life in the RP. It was true then, it is true today. There are a lot of illegals from China setting up shop in the RP.
They have no problems with the locals, however, it's the Philippine-born Chinese that often discriminate against the illegals. Go figure.

no, never have visited the p.i, not sure if i want to in the future...if so many people want to leave, what makes me want to go there???

Then STFU cause you don't know what you're talking about.



I don't know, why don't you ask the mainlanders who left the mainland and the illegals yourself?

OK i can see a flame war comming now. lets stop there and make peace. Phillipines is a nice country, the ppl are very tolerant, they accept Chinese ppl, and allow them to set up business, so protocl stop making those silly remarks. And as the fillipino president stated phillipines is very delighted to have China as a big brother. Lets make peace and show some love. We are all asians in the end of the day.

then why are you on the white man's soil? Oh, the ironical hypocrisy indeed! Loser. No wonder you had to leave. You're too dumb to make it big back home.

eldard you suck

Well I am not Chinese nor Filipino. I am Korean-American. But I might have an insight to this issue.

I was planning a trip to Philippines for a vacation. But I decided not to after speaking with few Filipinos that I know personally. The reason: Safety. There is a definite animosity towards Chineses by native Filipinos in Philippines. The commercial success by Chinese in Philippines are often resented by native Filipinos. Thus in extreme cases, rich Chinese businessmen are kipnapped and randsomed for large amount of money. And those Filipinos that I spoke with advised me not to go unless I know people there because I might be kipnapped by gangs who mistakenly took me as a son of rich Chinese businessmen.

I mean no harm, just speaking from my own experience.

I never liked my Chinese Bosses anyway they tend to look down on me like if I was their slave and I even had a fight with one of my Chinese Boss before and I resigned after. Chinese are good in Business and Business Partners but not as Employers.

Give it a rest.

Filipinos do not like the Chinese because they are jealous Despite the strong discrimination in the past, they are still able to climb up the economic ladder unlike your typical Filipino who'd just wait for the mango to fall off from the tree. Rather than getting up and helping himself, here is the Filipino scapegoating other people. Kaya di umaasenso eh

I really don't like it when Chinese people who know nothing about the Philippines (or Chinese-Filipinos, for that matter) come into this thread.

Also, the OP has no idea what he's talking about. You can't compare Asian-Americans (which by the way, includes Filipinos) with the Chinese community in the Philippines. Income disparity is a much bigger problem in the Philippines than in the States. Although it's worth mentioning that the imbalance of wealth in America is quite shocking for a developed country...

its so true. as the entry of lots of koreanos.. making some cities in the country as top haven for korean ritirees. lalo na siguro if the government wont stop the open sky policy,then sure, more korean influx.

i think you are imprisoned from the past,as manifested with your way of thinking about filipinos.. you know dude, thats an old cliche whos a typical skeptical blabbs out. cant you see why our economy is growiing? it is, because of the ofw's who,day and night,backbreacking for merely indecent jobs just to earn for a living. stories of juman tamad is nowhere. these days is different from juan's days, that is, blessings are just right at his face,but now, you really have to plant first before you can expect another mango fruit.

Look around you. Look at many common Filipinos. Ride a jeepney, it's not uncommon for people to WAIT for someone to hand their fare to the driver even if they can in the first place. Look at hose jaywalkers. The pedestrian lane/overpass is only 20 steps away yet they don't want to cross there. The garbage bin is just ten steps away yet they still just drop their trash anywhere. What can be lazier than that? Many Filipinos are still living in this kind of mentality. Juan Tamad syndrome. Simple things they don't want to do it for themselves. What more with more complex and sophisticated things? I didn't mean to generalize. But a lot are still lazy...

You see some of the relatives of some OFWs. Instead of trying to help generate more income, here they are just bumming around, spending as if money is bottomless, when they can and are qualified get a decent job.

Juan Tamad syndrome is still very common in the Philippine society.

I think the Filipinos are a little laid back and happy go lucky people because of our Negrito blood in our veins because I observed that the Aeta Negritos in Zambales are very happy with their lives and they are not natural achievers they just want to live a simple happy life. Filipinos in general are very madiskarte meaning they are very resourceful especially in the field of science and engineering. Being rich is not a Filipino's dream they just want to live a simple comfortable and happy life by solving everyday problems which would make their lives easier. If you notice that Filipino inventions are making lives more easier and happier for Filipinos http://www.filipinoinventors.org/directory.htm

About Chinese economic dominace in the Philippines, its ok as long they do not abuse and exploit it like what happened in Darfur where the Chinese hired employees in the Chinese Oil Industry in Darfur and the employees were not well compensated which is the complain of the Darfur citizens and they think that they were being exploited.

Being a OFW maid and domestic helper is more dignified than being a Japayuki that is why I salute the Filipino OFW maids and domestic helpers.

Troll

right on man...
then they blame the gov't for all their problems.. gusto nila sagot lahat ng gobyerno gastos. puro libre lang pero ayaw mgtrabaho.

tamad ang japayuki gusto nila easy money. but the situasion is getting worse, i was watching little girls sa noontime show wowowee, tanong ni willy, ano gusto m paglaki? most of them said "gusto ko maging dancer sa japan"
asan na yung mga gusto maging doktor teacher nurse....

Not all japayukis are into prostitution because that term means one who worked in Japan, how about those who worked in IT, there are lots of IT Filipinos working there also...

And it is the parents themselves to blame if kids are like that nowadays, even this noontime shows are bad. They seem to be perpetuating that you can only change your life through luck and games.

^ i agree with your last statement. maybe we should ban these noontime shows...save game ka na ba though. i find it somewhat educational. many general information to be learned. although it can get corny, at least, it's wholesome.

computer prog in japan and other line of work are decent and ok. medyo na stuck nako sa word na japayuki that means dancer or entertainer na nagbgay pa ng xtra service in japan .
kaya tamad sbi ko ksi gusto nila easy fast money, just spread their legs.
parents are really to blame ksi walang alam ang mga bata, kawawa nga sila bec of maling advice and poor role model.
grassroot tlaga ang prob dto satin. solving it is not in 3 years, but matagalan tlaga.

Like the saying goes for those kids of people, "you are your own worst enemy."

actually allot of chinese own businesses in the philippines and those chinese are such good people if you know them.

^^ Yes! Ignorance would only tell the stereotyping of the Chinoys. But yeah, Filipinos really are being envied in the States, especially by Mexicans and Chinese.

theres no chinese economic dominance, because THEY TOO ARE FILIPINOS!

where did you hear that?

chinese are discriminated in past??

its funny how well we do it outside Pinas!

that's beacuse most filipinos tend to be lazy

just look at our stories

JUAN TAMAD...

and what is up with most Filipinos relying on the Lottery
these people are really lazy
they just wait for something to come to them

geezzz

Filipinos have the Highest Bachelor's Degree Earners in the U.S.
