i really dont find it offensive at all. It's more like stating the facts. Parang natatawa pa nga ako habang pinapanuod ko yung video nya kasi totoo naman talaga lahat ng sinabi nya. Kahit ako, i hate those things he enumerated. Sana lang, let's not be so sensitive na may isang tao who can say straight to our face kung ano yung nakikita nya sa Pilipinas.
Tayo kasi, though nakikita natin kung anong mali natin, di natin masyadong nabibigyan ng pansin. Maybe dahil sanay na tayo or iniisip natin na ganun na tayo nuon pa.. or worst... wala na talaga tayong pag-asa with the kind of government that we have.

totoo naman mga pinakita sa vid..i just didn't like how it was presented..napaka sarcastic with matching mura pa.

[cristyles]

Nakita ko rin yan kahapon sis. Oh! yes same here Sis pinklilac,  i also don't like how he say it. Although i get his point, sana lang is hindi dapat sarcastic yung presentation niya.

The bottom line is lahat ng sinabi niya ay true. Naiimmune na rin kasi ang pinoy sa ganung kaugalian like sa meats na hindi naka ref while binebenta, whitening creams/lotions, street kids etc.,

Kailan kaya natin maiimprove yung mga bagay na yun . Sana ma-implement na yung no plastic sa Q.C

[pinklilac]

^korek!

OT:sana nga ma implement na ang no plastic sa buong bansa..

[cristyles]

^^ sis meron na rin nakalabas na video Same same rin na c Michael Goodman yung gumawa. Ang title naman ay " 20 reasons why i love the Philippines".

[cindylulu]

i actually find it very funny. why hide the flaws e totoo naman? instead of countering this negativity with another negativity, the govt should turn this around into something positive. this video should motivate DOT to aggressively market phil as a must-see tourist destination. anyway, just like with any other country, there are things to like and dislike. the bottom line is, it's how the tourist perceives it to be. 

[cristyles]

Agree sis. There's always room for improvements ^^

[spacemonkey]

hahaha!

i know those guys personally and ive worked with them and that site -- they're cool people who stayed here long because they love the philippines.

cuss words? c'mon, are people still so offended by the word "f***"? whose problem is that, then?


i have the same complaints about the Philippines. heck, that was even tame. how about if he said these --

"Filipinas trying to get me to marry them and bring them to the US to feed their entire clan?"

"Fuucking taxi drivers abusing the fact i'm a foreigner and charges me 10x the meter?"

"In fact -- just Filipinos thinking i'm an ATM and have a lot of money because i'm fuucking white."


instead, he stuck to what we would've said and complained about, everyday, to ourselves. and of course it would be sarcastic, and he'd be pissed. wouldn't you be? also... see: the video's title. 

what sucks, i think is that i know that if a Filipino hosted that video instead of him -- it wouldn't matter so much. which means, we don't value our own countryman's opinions... and that we are so concerned with being liked by these foreigners.

Truth hurts kasi.,

[cheskacruz]

Hahaha... I saw this in the news, kaya I searched for it. I found the video funny kaya... Para siyang yung mga International shows that talks about the truth pero in a sarcastic and funny way...

[coldsiren]

hindi ako nagalit or nainis sa kanila after seeing the video. ok lang sa akin yung mga sinabi nya kasi totoo naman yun. ako din naman ayaw ko yung mga sinabi nya na reasons like dirty toilets with no tissue/water, ipis, sleeping security guards, yung mga body search sa pag pasok ng buildings etc, using of plastic. 

instead of being sensitive about it maybe we could do something about it. we should be open minded about the opinion of others so we can learn from our mistakes or shortcomings.  nakita ko din yung isa pang video nila na  20 reasons why i love the philippines. nakakatawa yung videos nila para sa akin. dapat eye openner yun para sa atin. wake up call kaya yun para ayusin yung mga pangit na nakikita natin.

[applepink]

Sana marami makanood nito lalo na yung mga taga Dept. of Tourism, marami kelangan baguhin, kaya naman nating mga pinoy maging malinis at maayos

my sentiments also, i just dont get this kind of attitude.

[FOURever]

I want to show this to Noynoy and HOPE he will do something about OUR COUNTRY. I was not offended when i watched this kasi 90% ng sinabi nya, reklamo ko din! Dude, thanks for being brave! Sana lang di na lang "kinumpara" sa america yung phil. situation kasi magkaibang magkaiba yung 2 countries :p

Really, sana mapanood to ni noynoy

[cristyles]

I think ang intention ng video is to be a better country, they criticize us to be a better  .

[coldsiren]

^^ i agree with you. buti nga may mga tao na naglalakas ng loob na sabihin yung mga bagay na ayaw nila sa bansa natin. it's for our own good to know the opinion of others.

dun sa mga nasaktan sa sinabi sa video, yung mga sinabi ba nung guy hindi totoo? gusto nyo ba yung mga ganun bagay? i don't think so. ako na pilipino, ayaw ko din yung mga yun especially the dirty toilets, ipis at kung ano pa yung kadiri na nakita nya sa pilipinas. kung gusto nyo yung mga ganung bagay na makita sa bansa natin, di kaya may problema na kyo.

[ishko]

pinakita ito sa news kagabi.. hiningan din ng reaction yung dept of tourism.. ok naman daw sa kanila

eto rin ang ayaw ko sa pinas eh, panget na daan tapos puro basura.. kadiri.. tsaka yung mga public CR.. kahit sa airport minsan madumi eh..

try nyo punta Singapore, linis.. sana ganun din sa pinas.. tsaka walang magnanakaw dun 

[scents01]

^oo nga sis, kahit maglakad ka sa mga kalsada ng disoras ng gabi, you feel safe..i wonder kung paano nila nagagawa yun, sana sa atin din..

I also did not feel offended with what they narrated, it was their opinion and sad but true naman yung mga namention..i also do not think that there is a need for them to issue an apology to the Philippines, hindi bale sana kung hindi totoo..sana we'll just take it as a constructive criticism, there is always room for an imporvement anyway..

[pandalicious]

about time somebody made a video citing things that most if not everyone of us dislike about our country. sana imbes na ma-offend ang gobyerno eh gawan nalang nila ng paraan. i'm also not offended with his delivery, susme mas bongga pa nga ako magmura when stuck in traffic, walang tubig, o brownout samin.
