discrimination is more wide spread in the phils than in the uk, age, height, etc
as for qualifications depends on the job your applying for, my misses was even told at interviews, "sorry, your over qualified, i've just realised what qualifications you've got", so we took off her cv she had a biology and medicine degree, adjust your CV for the job your applying for. as for discrimination about promotion, just becuase you didn't get it, you think of reasons why you didn't, and it's easy for the race excuse to pop up..
as for your degree, you can get it evaluated by http://www.naric.org.uk/index.asp?page=16
and you can compare your degree to an english one..
