Well, I am not thinking that the Phillipines is the worse nor the British as far as I am concerned all countries are good but only the people make it worst.
I still love my counrty and being hospitality of the other Pilipino the only thing I hate most is the TAXI Driver's that they are abusing the foriegners as well as me when we had a hoilday there and even in HongKong we experienced it the chinese driver never gave us our change sometimes it happens in anywhere else place
Youre right of course Elsa, they rip us all off, youre quite right to love your country, and it has certain good points, there is good and bad everywhere, its a simple fact of "We are rich and they are not" or "its mind over matter, they dont mind and we dont matter" but I would rather have my lifestyle, than theirs, if they rip me off for a few pesos, here and there, who gives a s.....I can afford it..I just laugh at them"
Like the time the taxi driver wouldnt take me and Gina to the Makati Palace, he wanted another 100 pesos, he made such a big fuss about it, like it was life or death or something, I just said to Ginee give him the damn P100 will you, I am hot...tired after a 15 hour flight, I need a shower and a pizza...but that should not deflect us from some of the great people of the Philippines, who are decent law abiding citizens, like most of my adopted family, my cousins, all over the Philippines, who are decent people you made a good point Elsa.
