Local discrmination?

[KBR]

Meron nangyari once last year sa London ako and meron lumapit sakin ang nagtatanong ng direction and tinanong ko sya kung Filipino ba sya tapos sumagot sya na " no, Cebuano ako"...hindi ko na sya pinansin at iniwanan ko na sya. I dont know kung tama ginawa ko.

sir, kahit ako din dito sa US na experience ko din yan. one time I asked someone kung ano nationality niya.. sabi sa akin "Hawaiian" (which dapat talaga American, kasi state ng America ang Hawaii) anywayz, yung pag alis ko, na bigla nalang ako nung narinig ko siyang mag Ilocano!! .. talagang "Feeling" ng loko! lolz!

Yan ang malaking problema sa kapwa natin pinoy local or abroad. I was in the U.S Navy for 21 yrs. and saw too many pinoy serving in the armed forces na walang unity kundi puro tsismis laban sa kapwa pinoy. I dont realy know what is the root cause for not being one as blood by blood, instead they push away that chances to get along each other since we are the few. In the civilian life too, much much worse.

wow! hindi ko alam yan ha! man, thats really bad! I too have some friends (even the older generations) that served in the Military and I havent heard anything like that. well, baka siguro hindi lahat ganon.

but then again, it is so true na once na nasa labas sila (civilian) wether if your in the Military or not, haaayy naku. ayan na ang yabangan.

it's been there for so long it's so anti-climactic

i lived in mindanao for almost 9 years and i've experienced this so-called discrimination time and again. but it never really bothered me because i'd manage to turn the tables around and let them laugh w/ me laughing at them. eh di lahat masaya

thats good, at least you never acted like a d!ck to them. Visayans are actually nice people compared to others. mas madaling matawa ang mga bisaya at madaling maki sama.

I know this since that I'm also part Visayan.. well my mother was from Mindanao and my dad was from Cebu, but I was born and raised in Pasay City, Manila.

anywayz, me growing up in Manila being part "bisaya" was also difficult ever since I was young. kasi sa Manila, once na malaman nila na Bisaya ka (or kahit na part bisaya ka) eh pag tatawanan at pag ti-tripan ka ng mga kaklase at mga kaibigan mo, which is really messed up in my opinion. biruin mo, kahit bata pa lang eh marunong na silang mang-hate sa kapwa. eh paano nalang pag tumanda na?

buti nalang hindi ako lumaki ng ganun, same as my whole family and relatives.. we never hate on other fellow kababayans based on their Dialect or Religion.

kaya dito sa amin (Bay Area), madami akong mga ka tropa na Tagalog, Bisaya, Ilocano at Kapampangan. I have so many friends out here since na marunong akong MAKISAMA.



aite, peace.
