How do you feel right now?

[Jun aka Pekto]

a lot of pinoys in America think and say the same thing

that they're sooo glad they migrated to the states

that they're not wasting their lives in 3rd world backward PH

they watch TFC and see everything wrong with PH and think/say "i'm so glad i'm no longer living there... people there are so stupid for not leaving"

Pinoys living in the US have a condescending attitude towards people living here "why are people wasting their lives there?"

tapos mahilig mag join sa mga pinoy forum or groups na karamihan ng tao nasa PH

parang "hey look i got an awesome life here unlike you guys"

I don't think the PH is backward. There are a lot worse places than the PH I've been to.

But, home is home. It's here where I feel at home. Still, I cannot ignore loved ones and people I became friends with over there. I had a great time during the period I lived there because of the people. In the end, it's always the people that makes it fun.

My wife and her friends reminisce about the PH all the time. I've never seen any in her crowd talk the way you described. They always laugh about good times they had there (usually Leyte). They're having so much fun remembering, our living room is like a hen house sometimes.

Whenever there's a new arrival here, they always ask what new things are happening over there. I've never seen any hate for the old country.

I reminisce about the PH too. Heck. I loved commuting and riding the jeepneys there along with the rock music they played. It's a unique experience I'll always remember.
