There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.

Especially by Jets neighboors, as they didn't know my name, or remember it.
But I always took the trouble of correcting them nicely and try a couple of words of their language on them for a giggle, as ignoring them could have caused criticism to our family.
Exactly treat all with respect and 99 times out of a 100 they will return it.Several times....

In fact in the wifes locally area most of the neighbours don't say anything when we see one another as they are shy it seems so i smile and greet them nearly all will reply and some once the ice is broken come over for a basic chat in taglish.
Like you say we pop in and out of the country and can easily forget these are the people our families live with everyday.
Like others say the way some non phills who are a mixture of perverted, women disrespecting racists treat the local phills makes me angry.
The amount of times mainly yanks but im sure many from various western nations are the same, just yanks are more outgoing in genral. Have talked disrespectifully about the women they are with and women in genral. Expecting you to be the same
One time we were in a posh designer menswear shop in gloriaetta and a brit guy was in the shop being served before me only a young guy and he was so rude i went out of my way to aplogize and treat the assitants with the utmost respect they said they were used to it from both the westerners and rich locals
Understood, I have mixed emotions when people tell me 'you are not like a FOREIGNER, more like a PINOY'. I feel great cause I believe my perspective is a very International one and they recognise my respect and feeling of oneness with them, but sad that I'm included in that homogenised group with others who I may have nothing in common with.Exactly treat all with respect and 99 times out of a 100 they will return it.

I did have a run in with a couple of geordies at the hotel in Cebu.
They were being rude and disrepectful to the receptionists and bell boy.
They also had the gall to call me aforeigner....
NOT the right approach at all.... As I let them have a verbal broadside....
Suffice to say that the management called them a taxi to take them elsewhere and I ended up with a discount and drinks on the house for the rest of my stay....I would have let them walk... But that is filipino hospitality for you...
I will be definitively stay there again, it is like a second home for Jet and me.
I'd have let them walk too. Filipinos can be unbelievably tolerant of the errant ways of FOREIGNERS.

Not much love lost between Japs and phills. Our Company although Japanese normally sends westeners to phill as to much conflict between the locals and the japs lol.
The ones who Phills seem to really dislike in my local area are the koreans who are like the chav Brits in spain it seems
And have you ever called... HEY JOE!
Funny how hubby replied them, my name is not Joe.
And im not amerikano
same here . . . my hubby was always mistaken as an American and like yours he also answered back . . . “My name is not Joe. I’m not American . . . I’m BRITISH”.
Most of the Filipinos think that if you are Caucasian you are an American.
So far, I haven’t experienced being insulted neither heard any nasty comments regarding me and my hubby.
Just ignore them. . . What matter most is that your both happy and you love each other.
Black guys too!
