PH named 'most emotional society' in global list
By Kim Arveen Patria | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom
It has been dubbed as a "bright spot" amid a global slowdown and a "rising tiger" in Southeast Asia, and now the Philippines is also deemed the best in a criteria money can't buy: emotions.
This, as the Philippines is named "most emotional society" in over 140 countries surveyed by U.S. pollster Gallup, a Businessweek report Wednesday said.
Asked questions aimed at determining recently felt emotions, 60 percent of Filipino respondents answered "yes."
But that doesn't necessarily make most Pinoys drama queens, as it could also easily mean that they are the clowns.
Among the questions in the Gallup survey, Businessweek said, are: "Did you feel well rested yesterday? Were you treated with respect all day yesterday? Did you smile or laugh a lot yesterday?"
Respondents were also asked if they experienced enjoyment, physical pain, worry, sadness, stress or anger "during a lot" of the previous day.Map: Where the Emotionally Challenged Live - BusinessweekSingapore, meanwhile, emerged as the "most emotionless" society with only 36 percent of respondents saying they experienced a lot of feelings in the previous day.

Parang gusto ko sabihin, tanga, kaya nga sila asenso kasi di sila emosyunal...

Iyan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko,- puro telenola kasi... Wala na tuloy mapanuod o mapakinggan na maayos....
Pero, kapag sobrang traffic, o walang kuryente, o malalim ang baha sa mga lugar, - nagra-riot ba ang mga Pinoy? >>> Cool lang di ba?
Sa ibang bansa,- kagulo na sila!... :hysterical:

SINGAPORE – Singaporeans have reacted to a survey depicting them as the world’s most emotionless people with many saying the city state’s competitive culture leaves them no room for feelings.
“Singaporeans are the least likely in the world to report experiencing emotions of any kind on a daily basis,” US-based pollster Gallup said in a report on a three-year study conducted in more than 150 countries.
The Philippines came out as the most emotional society in the world, with Latin American countries dominating the top of the list.
Media in Singapore, one of the world’s wealthiest and most stable societies, gave prominent coverage to the report, setting off some strong reactions.
“Where got time to laugh? Wake up, must fight for place on trains, lunch time, must fight for place to sit down and eat, go home must fight for place on trains,” Edward Alexzandra Peters wrote on Facebook.
Kok Leong commented on Yahoo! Singapore: “It’s so stressful to be living in Singapore. Our mind is all about $$$ – how to survive, how to raise family, tax, etc. Nothing is free here.”
Another commentator wrote on Yahoo: “We have everything, and yet we have nothing. No one in this country actually lives life to the fullest; we merely exist. To our government, we are nothing more than a statistic.”
“How can Singaporeans be the most emotionless in the world when they complain the most every day? I’m baffled,” said a post by Melody on Twitter.
Gallup said it surveyed about 1,000 respondents 15 years old and above in each country annually between 2009 and 2011. They were asked if they felt five positive and five negative emotions the previous day.
The negative feelings were anger, stress, sadness, physical pain, and worry, while the positive emotions were feeling well-rested, being treated with respect, enjoyment, smiling and laughing a lot, and learning or doing something interesting.
Only 36 percent of Singaporeans said they felt any of the emotions, Gallup said.

November 23rd, 2012 08:27 PM #18there's your answer, SingaporeOur mind is all about $$$
syempre game face kayo lagi. always in business mode. you have no time to laugh or cry. you're the Borg every hour you're not sleeping
unlike pinoys kenkoy anytime. pati sa trabaho kenkoy. walang business mode. anong business mode? no such thing
kwentuhan ng personal life sa trabaho, tawanan sa trabaho, kantahan sa trabaho. sumasayaw ng gangnam style sa trabaho...
