Maybe these filipinas are only insecure, but this doesn't apply to filipinas I think. I've seen some whites who can be snobbish.
Even though it is our traits to be friendly specially to our fellow "kabayan" let's not be down if they have that negative attitude. Instead, let's make it a habit to be nice at all times... nothing will be lost.. and it's not our lost anyway. It's theirs who are trying hard.
