Local discrmination?

[juntzo]

i was born in manila, grew up in bicol, then moved to cavite and studied in manila. worked in the US and now have a business in the visayas! (yes i'm an old f*rt!)

i have close friends in all the places i've been and in my opinion, those who discriminates are usually the uneducated or the ones who didn't learn from their education! :peace:

Born in mindanao, grade school in cebu, high school in bacolod, college in manila and now based here. I was always the new kid in school who couldnt speak the local language and only english, and therefore, "mayabang". I learned quickly enough though.

Lahat ng insularism naramdaman ko, from the cebuanos making fun of ilonggos, to ilonggos making fun of cebuanos, to the people from luzon making fun of the people from vis-min (who, would actually band together when in manila and learn bisaya and ilonggo, funny no).

I remember in college when i was riding a taxi, tinatanong pa ng driver kung may airport samin, kung may tubig. WTF?! ano akala nya naka-kalabaw ako to go to school? LOL! Eto yung mga tao na di man lang nakalabas sa manila.

addendum:
This is what the now-defunct MBA tried to leverage, regionalism.

I actually find the visayan accent cute when it's used for visayan languages ... hindi nga lang bagay when used for tagalog or english. Baka naman yun lang ang issue at ka-OA an lang yang kay Pimentel. IMHO, yung talagang nagdi-discriminate, hindi pa nakakapaglibot ng Pinas at nakakakita ng ganda niya -- kaya Tara na! Biyahe tayo!

history showed that in 17th and 18th centuries filipinos has been continuously discriminated by foreign nationalities. all of them are gone but the blood are still flowing within us and the result is this: filipinos against fellow filipinos

This could be true. Mostly, kababayans with slightly darker complexion are sometimes looked down upon as opposed to mestizas/mestizos. Most villains/contrabida in films and tv's are mostly with darker complexion whereas mestizos are the bidas. Tingin ko lang.
