Alot can be said about foreigners and how they conduct themselves when they are in Philippines.
Some things that i find are that they want to compare things to how it should be and not accept things for what it has been before they came, this irritates Filipinos because 'one size does not fit all'.

common courtesy works

Foreigners here are the MOST friendly people in the world! Typically Koreans and Americans. Very nice people . . .

I find it weird that they are the ones less targetted by snatchers and pickpocketters.

we won't kiss your asses...

Speak English.

Don't smoke cig in my hometown. If i'm not allowed to smoke, why should foreigners be?

yeah why is that..

here in CEBU its the locals who are more targetted by snatchers...

hmmmmmmmm

maybe the snatchers have some respect for foreigners...

hehe

well for starters, foreigners shouldn't come to our country for the cheap sex. i mean its not a secret, some of these people are the bottom feeding scums and rejects of their own country coming to ours thinking they could mess around, exploiting filipino hospitality.

my left eyes twitches involuntarily every time i see the kinda sweaty ultra-tanned, fat and hairy white guy in a hawaiian shirt dragging along his five feet and one tall bimbo who's face is also powdered by an inch thick of makeup trying to conceal her dark skin probinsyana face. along with her mismatched skanky clothes, screaming like "yeah im with the white man". these days, my left eye almost never stops twitching...in the mall...in the beach...in the disco club. argh.

I like your powers of observation!

I have a Filipino friend who goes for prostitutes everytime he is there...

HAHAHA that's hilarious and is true.

LMAO. True.

more like, he's gonna make me rich, give me a green card and bring me to the states...lol

^^ Yes and I don't have anything against those doing that. The white guy wants someone to do the housework and the Filipina wants someone who can give her a better life. I'v noticed most white guys love ugly, fat old women.

Gaijin ought not to swagger about here as if they owned the place...like a lot of Koreans here in Baguio...really bloody pisses me off...heck they don't like to be frisked when they enter establishments like shopping malls...

^^ Not all Koreas are like that. Here in Iloilo and in Cebu, Koreans are very friendly. Polite as well. They aren't the arrogant type. So are caucasians.

kimi wa nihongo hanashimasu ka? tonikaku dameda 'gaijin' wa itte o janai yo. the appropriate term is 'gaiko-jin'.

Ahh..you mean gaikokujin [外国人]...sure it means "person form a foreign country"...but gaijin [外人] "out-person" would suffice...it isn't that offensive here in the Philippiners as it is in Japan...

...あの...ちょっと日本語を話す事が出来る...あの語がバギオ大学で学んだ.

...nice 外人林檎 sig...

Hahaha, omoshiroi omae ga. Firipin forum na noni Nihongo hana$hiteimasu.
Nihonjin desuka? Dono gurai Baguio de benkyo $hiteimasu ka?

^Lol can we not? Bawal maghapones d2. it gets confusing to mod.


WORD

いいえ...俺がフィリピン人だ...4年前からが日本語を学ぶ. 俺が8年間くらい大学で勉強する....being in uni for that long made me think...well, why not study Japanese...

...I've seen a lot of old white pot bellied geezers hookong up with their equally ugly and almost ancient pinay putas...which makes my eyebrows rise...but what makes my blood boil me is when the same type of crackers hook up with teenage and younger girl-whores...

i hate learning kana, i only get to learn from my okinawan-filipina girl-friend. ano... sumimasen ga omae wa hanbun nihonjin deska?

いいえ...100%なイゴロト系だ...yeah it took me some time to learn kana but eventually I did...can't really learn Japanese without it...

naruhodo. since ive been dating Japanese girls, im getting by with my nihongo. but one of these days ill get formal classes.

Hey, as long as he's not an ahole like some foreigners tend to be when they visit a less priviledged country thinking we're desperate for his currency, he's okay with me. And not all Pinays with foreign guys are bimbos and putas. I agree many of them are not very aesthetically appealling but let us be civil here.

Common to see a 6 foot White dude and a 4'11 Filipina in Manila.

If we are making the assumption that being ugly and almost ancient makes her unable to attract someone at home why raise your eyebrow and not your lip in a smile that even she found a chance to be happy?

LOL @ exploiting filipino hospitality. Can you feed these women and their family who hook just so they can live????. Can you???.If not then STFU. You are not in the position to judge nobody. These white guys spend money and they get sex, the women get money and get to eat. Sure some of them dream of having a white man as a husband to take them away from all the hardships. Can you blame them???. Are you doing something about it?.

FYI, filipinos have been exploiting themselves for the longest time. Dont act like only foreigners are the only ones who do this.

oh look at you, high and mighty with that pretentious morality. well guess what, why dont you drag the list including but not limited to:

can you blame the people in slums for selling there kidneys, so that they can eat something?
can you blame an unwed mother, aborting her fetus, because she couldnt feed her?
can you blame the beggars and mendicants, making homes out of city streets, because theyre so poor?
can you blame the drug pusher, whos forced to take that way of livelihood to sustain his/her family?
.
fist off all, i never imply morality in the subject. for all i care they could f*ck all the way to 7th heaven.
i'm not judging these ladies who conjugate with the ugly foreigners, knowing all too well of their economic needs that drive them to engage on those faux relationships. this thread is about "things for foreigners to know about the philippines". not "things pinay's who're into foreigners need to know about" i merely stated my personal experience, based from what i see on the daily basis, and criticize...not the pinays...but the foreigners.

know if you can't ascertain these basic semantics of what i written. i suggest you take your own piece of advice: STFU.

well, a lot of foreigners really think we are that poor...
we had a visitor from new zealand (more like a prospecting customer in the company) and he thought that we are so poor... he was kinda shock that we have a lot of malls and beautiful, elegant, exclusive places...
my rich boss showed him around to prove that gosh, we have rich people living in PI too!

and at times, foreigners are just shocked that we speak english...duh!

^^ We need more promotion!!!

Right fu-king on!!! these people have to realize that they are in Filipinas not in in Korea or the US. It really irritates me when they take advantage of our polite and hospitable nature, thinking its some sort of weakness to exploit. I sometimes wish that we should have tougher rules and punishments for these people, but then why should we have to lower ourselves to their level.

Well the Philippines aint exactly the richest country in the world. Having malls and beautiful exclusive places doesnt really fool anybody when the average population lives off 1,400 dollars per capita or something. If i had to compare friends and genereally people ive come across in the Philippines id say that tehyre just as if not more ignorant to the outside world(for obvious reasons) compared to the common foreigner/tourist... so give them a break.

And If you guys have to be such fu-king victims about it why not ban tourism. Some of you make a science out of being foreigner in the Philippines as if you have to extra careful, observant because of special extra ordinary rules apply. Again common courtesy applies to practically anywhere in the world as i see it its no different in the Philippines. With that being said im opposed to sex tourism but if Günther from Germany falls in love and decides to engage in fake nasty relationship with Ivy from Laguna then what the hell... let them if anything its gonna add more young talents to GMA.

Stay away from our beautiful women. Just stick with "five feet and one tall bimbo who's face is also powdered by an inch thick of makeup trying to conceal her dark skin probinsyana face. along with her mismatched skanky clothes"

yeah... because we may be poor but we are not that poor... sometimes, people have to be educated about things like this!
i mean, before i travel, i research...

duh! im talking about a prospecting investor...if you are to invest in something, you have to research...obviously he did not do his homework...

Do you mean beautiful women aren´t supposed to have dark skin? Is a five foot probinsyana with dark skin the epitomy of ugliness. Do you wish you had white skin like Micheal Jackson?? Maybe living in the States has made you wish you were the colour of your white master??? Come off it. Accept your colour. Brown is beautiful just like white!!!!!

Did you ask your G.R.O. if 370 pesos was okay for the night?
Did you work it down to 78 pesos for the day?

Ur Flip! STFU.
