It is sometimes nice to listen to criticism but do it objectively,if the criticism is JUST ,do something about it, if the criticism is UNJUST, forget it!
Full Version: Constructive Criticism

I was watching LOVE CONTRACT until i reached the first few minutes of episode 8 where they mentioned a FILIPINO MAID and I was like DO THEY REALLY HAVE TO MENTION THAT?
I know its an old issue but I just dont get it why Maids are always associated with Filipinos... Is it one reason why Filipinos arent given that high regard and respect compared with say for example , Japanese, Koreans and Chinese people?
I even remembered when the SEA Games was held here in MANILA, I attended the WUSHU event and there is this group of kids from SINGAPORE which I overheard telling their parents: "Look there's a LOT OF NANNIES in here!"
My mom is from Hualien, Taiwan and she married my Filipino dad. I was born here in the Philippines and I grew up here. Im actually very proud of being a Filipino eventhough my physical features reveals my Chinese blood.
Its just that after watching that part from a Taiwanese series... It made me think.

Its disgraceful for a country whos main export is human beings. Get over the feel good factor your president gloria is a liar, the statistics can be suitably bend to make people feel good and have confidence in the leadership. Just by looking at some stastics u r rejoicing, can't u look for ur self what is the reality, Philippines is a 3rd world country for sure. Its better you realize the reality.

spam? troll?

Mr. Art Bell is a talk radio host who has two shows that he broadcasts from his home in Nevada, that is rebroadcast by 400 stations across the country.
He's written 2 books. He lived in Okinawa, Japan for some years and had a radio program on the English station here. And, though it's hard to believe after reading the following letter from him, he actually has been to the Philippines (he's traveled fairly extensively around the world).
Check out his website listed at the end to get a glimpse at this fool who's spreading this hateful ignorance. And check his wife as well. This letter is so degrading, I think it's really important that everybody read this (especially my fellow filipinos) and not attack him, but respond to him in a civilized manner because otherwise his thoughts will be reaffirmed. Understand that not everyone has a viewpoint like we do, and that this is an opinion of someone who hopefully can be changed only by civil actions.
THE LETTER:
Filipinos...*make me puke* (Mr. Art Bell). As we've all come to notice, in the past few decades, Filipinos have begun to infest the United States like some sort of disease. Their extensive involvement in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of the trashy kind of qualities all filipinos tend to exhibit on a regular basis. You can see this clearly by studying the attitudes and cultural Icons of most Filipino Americans.
Origins of Pinoys/Pinays:
Are they really asian? Well we've come to accept the fact the filipinos come from a part of the world known as South East Asia. But the term "Asia" is used in the wrong way. You may notice that contemporary Filipino Americans try very hard to associate themselves with groups that we know as Asian. I cannot count the number of times I have seen a 'Third World Filipino" try to connect themselves to the Chinese or Japanese people. There is no connection and here's why;
The Philippines is a Third World country. Nothing respectable has EVER been created by Filipino people during our entire human history. Young filipino men in America have become obsessed with "import racing". They have an enormously perverted affection for Japanese cars. It's a common phenomenon. In their minds, these Filipinos somehow believe that they are asian and that it somehow connects them to Japanese people and japanese cars. They often take credit for the ingenuity of Japanese people and say how it's an "Asian thing". This term..."Asian thing" derived directly from African American slang "Black thang". "It's a black thang." "It's an asian thang." You can see the connection.
It's even funnier that, in Japan, Filipinos are heavily discriminated against. The only filipinos that can live successfully in Japan are the filipino prostitutes. But that's the case for most Filipino people no matter where they live in the world. Now we've come down to this fact...and it is a fact.
Nothing in Filipino Culture can be seen as Asian.
They have no architectural, artistic, or cultural influence which is in ANY way, asian. Thinking of the great countries in Asia such as Japan, Korea, and China there is no way you can possibly connect the Philippine Islands. This assault by filipino americans to connect themselves with the great peoples of North East Asia is foul and disgusting. Try visiting a young filipino's web site too.
You'll see something called the "Asian IRC Ring". It has to do with the chatrooms. The most horrible thing about this is that these TRASHY people are trying to associate themselves with Asia again! People in Asia don't act like this at all. What we are seeing here is the natural Filipino in its element with full access to technology and this is how they act! You will consistently see this behavior over and over again.
Another interesting thing is that these "thirdworld" people also frequent IRC chatrooms such as #chinese #japan and #asian. They must believe that they are somehow related racially or culturally to North Asians. But it's completely WRONG! There might have been some distant contact with China and even less with Japan during World War II, but these people are actually more closely related to African Americans and Mexican Americans.
Do the parents of these young filipinos know what's going on? Would they accept this? I believe that they would and do. This is the natural "Trash" element in filipinos manifesting itself. Nothing good has ever come from Philippines and I don't believe anything good ever will.
Recognizing your Roots (A Message to Filipinos). To all filipino people:
Please recognize your ROOTS! You come from the Third World! Your country is a disgusting and filthy place. Most people there live in poverty! Your culture has MUCH MORE SPANISH influence than CHINESE, and absolutely no JAPANESE influence whatsoever. People in Japan and China, do not act like you. They do not constantly talk about sex and they have a MUCH HIGHER level of RESPECT for each other. There is NO WAY that you can connect yourself to Asia other than location.
Your culture and technological advancement does not even come CLOSE to what Chinese, people have done in the past and what Japanese and Korean people are doing now! Everything you do is distinctly filipino. You cannot take credit for Japanese cars, video games, or Hentai! It's not an "Asian thing" it's an "American thing". You have no concept of culture...no concept of asian ideas or asian philosophy! Can you demonstrate how you use Confucianism or Taoism in you everyday life? You can't. And you will NEVER be able to.
I understand that you are trying to create an identity for yourselves as young people... but it is NOT related to Asia. Your Identity is Filipino. That's all you are. Just Filipino. Think about what that means...

I’m trying to finish the whole season 8 of Will and Grace (the final season) this whole holiday week till Monday and came across this episode when the terms “Philippines” and “Filipinos” were mentioned once again.
I hate it when they try to have clever scripts by inserting some negative connotations about other races or places. Just like in one episode of One Tree Hill when Lucas Scott got a tattoo, his uncle Keith was worried and said “where did you get that? In some back alley in the Philippines?” Anong palagay nila sa Pilipinas, lugar ng mga unhygienic tattoo parlors?
In Veronica Mars, there’s an episode about Veronica being clueless about Manila paper and where in the world is Manila where that paper’s name came from but she used the term “Filipina whore.”
For me, it doesn’t need sarcastic inserts to make a clever script. Grey’s Anatomy have clever dialogues and they don’t offend anybody’s race or country di ba?
This time on Will and Grace, Karen Walker has a slightly positive citation about Filipinos regarding his husband Stanley’s business trip in the Philippines. Watch the video and decide if it’s positive or negative…

Are you, like, retarded or something? You're not really making any sense. 
That was a very good letter, precise and unbiased. 
And nope, Filipinos dont take too well to criticism, much lesser from one of their own..

Criticism from others or from one of us is fine. Self-criticism is even better for it makes more of a personal take on the issues.
However, denigrating comments thrown our way is another story. We should learn how to distinguish between criticism and denigrating comments. Reflect on the criticism, and don't let the denigrating comments affect us, but that doesn't mean we should forget about it, we should never forget those who are hostile to us, so when the time is right we will have our revenge.
We Filipinos can be just as good and we can also be just as bad as everyone else.
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. Remember that!

Constructive, TACTFUL criticism is something that helps people learn and improve when it comes to what they do in life... but as for tactless criticism (that includes cussing, insults, the like- and typically from what I see, racism), I rather not pay attention, life is too short to let someone else verbally trample you down without having him/herself look into the mirror first!
