Going back to his home country as he thinks Cebu is dirty by jasonswits
The school that I'm working for was supposed to have this student from Spain. He flew all the way from his home country only to say Cebu is dirty as it rained last weekend when he arrived. He left Cebu as soon as he got here. Wow! I know Cebu ...
I'd like to suggest that any expat living in their host country respect the differences of living standards, culture, practices, and environment of the locals because after all, it's their choice to live in a country not originally their ... Read More

Maybe you can use some quantifiers in your sentence so you don't generalize Filipinos. How about using "some" or "many" before the subject in your sentence? Thank you. Read More

Short Term Rentals in Cebu City by Johnny5
Hello! Just getting settled here in Cebu and wanted to offer my thoughts to those planning on coming here on a 1-2 month stay... I looked around for months online before coming to Cebu for a short term rental and ended up at the Tune Hotel next to ...
I think rich families with so much room for other people in their houses should consider homestay arrangement. It's something that we don't have here in the Philippines but very common in English-speaking countries. I wish I had a house for ... Read More
Your experience of culture shock in the Philippines by Christine

A dumb idea. by sirrobcentral
Many of you leave me scratching my head. I have decided to take issues with your insistence on starting a business here. The main reason is because you have come to a third world country and you actually have the gall to think you are going to blaze ...
I'm Filipino and for foreigners to succeed in business here in the Philippines, don't start your own business unless you know the people you're co-partnering your business with. I suggest you invest in existing businesses, instead. Find ... Read More

@ABCDiamond, don't be too general when I'm pointing out a specific situation. I know the Philippine government is a hopeless case so many of us, Filipinos would much rather focus on enjoying life, no matter how simple it is, than wasting it ... Read More

Many of you here have a lot of bad things to say about us, Filipinos, and our culture. I can't blame you for that because I know there are really Filipinos who take advantage of foreigners and I don't know what the Department of Tourism is ... Read More
