Article: Why Do **Some** Filipinos Assume That Their Well-Off Relatives Will.....

[shadow]

kaya ako I subscribed to the American way, pag napag graduate ka na ng parents mo lumayas ka na sa bahay...wala ka na nga binayaran na mga tuition fees eh, makikitira ka pa rin hanggat single ka.

kahit sabihin na nagbibigay kuno ng monthly expenses sa bahay, wala pa rin yun..

Ganon talaga filipino culture close family ties. Meron nga OFW pag dating dito sa pinas ubos ang pera sa dami ng relatives. Iba sa western culture na wala ng paki alam sa relatives kahit nga parents hindi na rin.

ang tingin ng pinoy sa foreigner ATM

Jackpot sa kanila pag nakaasawa ng ganyan... Better if the foreigner moves his spouse abroad and stays there! It seems that it's usually a foreign guy marrying a pinay girl and not the other way around no?

*RT, better to burn bridges indeed! When a relative asks me to do something for them, i just pass on the cost, or even foot the bill for some at times, and don't even add the food or fuel i've used. We're family and they have done so much for me with not a thing asked just as well. Give and take.

*Altis6453, buti talaga nag retire yung client mo sa Aussieland instead... baka mamulubi siya dito.

At Glorietta, the Sanry's money changer is near where i park usually and i can't help but observe the people lined up at times. Sometimes you can tell those who appear to be living off on remittances.

Okay pa ung relatives na nasa middle class may trabaho. Ang mahirap dyan pag walang trabaho at sayo na i-asa lahat. Paktay na. But if you are willing to accept it then its okay. But if not, huwag mo na ituloy.

Our former househelp, now an OFW in Hongkong has 2 kids who have their own families now. They do nothing with their lives but wait for her remittances.

they probably think that over there, they just pluck dollar bills from trees..
but to be fair, ganyan din kung may kamag-anak na mayaman dito sa 'pinas. walang katapusan ang "bisita" sa kanila...
it is a common, but twisted, concept, that "rich relatives owe their poorer relatives.. that they are rich because the others are poor.. biniyayaan ka ng Diyos, dapat biyayaan mo rin kami..".
go figure.

a kakilala says, "for the country to rid itself of poverty and heavy population growth, all we need is one russian winter. two for greater effect.". evil evil..

obligasyon kasi kamag anak


stupid concept

The first time I stayed with a relative sa New Jersey, that's the time I realized how similar (or harder?) their lives are compared dito sa atin. Kayod din talaga. Not that I was thinking that money grows on trees over there. Just that iba talaga perception natin pag me friend/relative na nagba-balikbayan. Big time ang tingin natin sa kanila. Doon, kayod na nga ng 2-3 jobs, sila pa nagluto/ laba/ plantsa/ linis ng bahay/ bakuran. Ang difference lang talaga is how much we get for our hard work. In most cases, well compensated sila doon.

Sa FB, me page doon something like "Pag ba nasa abroad, mayaman na?".

Saan ba kasi napulot ng Pilipino ung ganyang ugali? Nakakahiya un mga kamag-anak kong ganyan, ang lalaking mga tao ayaw mag banat ng buto. Gusto ata puro pasarap sa buhay at parteh. Kapag di binigyan, madamot ka pa. Sarap pa-assasinate eh, mas maliit pa lalabas mong pera.

Naalala ko pinadala un pinsan ng tatay ko dun sa US para mag trabaho. Umuwi dito nahirapan. Nanibago siguro doon kase puro kayod ginagawa, weekend pahinga minsan wala pa nga para makapag plantsa at luto para sa weekdays.

Hilig ng Pinoy din kase sa easy money. Isusugal nalang nila un pera nila para lumaki kung swerte. Dapak.

Pero sabagay, sino nga ba tayo para humusga. ' Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon '...
