Like China is known for chinese food, Japan for technology & electronics, Thailand for tourism, Switzerland for watches, etc. What the Philipines known for? When someone asked me this question I struggle to answer because there's a lot going on and I cannot choose.

What do you think? Only one thing...

^ yup! Everytime I meet other nationalities, they always said...my maid was/is Filipina or I got a Filipina friend, she's a nurse. Why are you different?

Panapanahon kasi 'yan, eh!

There was a time that we were popular for strong economy and exports of rice, sugar, copper, gold, etc. Then, naging corruption and shoes of Imelda. Then DH, caregivers and nurses. As what have already mentioned.

Sana in the future, maging maganda naman.

I think there's nothing wrong if we are known for DH, nurses and caregivers providers. These are the most decent jobs. Providing care and giving service to the people in need. Paano nalang kaya kung wala nang pinoy sa mundo? Come to think of it.

They are well-known in the service sector field, having tons of patience with anyone, being too emotional.

Pag walang Pinoy, meron pa naman mga Mexicans, Indians, Indonesians to do this job. Kaya lang hirap ng Indians because of the smell. Baka mamatay ng maaga ang pasyente. he,he,he!

Our hospitality siempre.

Also, we easily get recognized by our accent.

eto ha .. according sa mga friends ko na lebanese , na ang pinay daw ay mahilig sa rice and noodles tapos pag nagsasabi daw ng "left" eh "lef" daw binibigkas natin

like "post" eh pos sinasabi natin, "paste" eh pase para satin

, lagi nya tinatanong kung baket daw ganun tayong mga filipino, why daw natin ino-omit ang "t"

sabi ko naman kasi silent "t" yun
