Hello somebody! If you will allow me, I just would like to make a comment here. Wife whatever nationality is a wife and will not always take criticism lightly. And so with husbands. Given -two people of different backgrounds, living under one roof, what do you expect? Of course, an argument! And to say they both come from different culture, that is a riot?! Don't you think?

Why should there be aruguments because there are people from two cultures I dont think we have ever had a riot

Im not talking about us as a couple in the previous post.

I have noticed it seems many filipinos at all levels I have come across dont seem to take constructive criticism in their stride like Brits do in general although of course always plenty of brits and phill the other way round. More importanly they dont seem to notice people are saying it to try and help often.
I had my Wife in tears thinking her manager was bullying her when really she was trying to get her to be even better than she was already. Many of her Phill mates in the UK could not see it either.

The reason I mention it is the reason why many Brits are crictal of things which happen in Phill is because that is how change for the good occured in the UK by people not agreeing with the status quo and speaking out.

It deeply upsets us so many phills just shrug and dont think they can changes things.

The fact that people do feel they can change things by speaking out in the UK is a reason to be proud of being British.

Lets hope one day the same can be said in Phill
