Anyway, I have read a blog somewhere but don't know from where exactly, she stated that she hated going back to the Philippines because all their neighbours were so pakialamera (nosy), ingitero't ingetera (envious) and the list could go on...

The thing is, why do you have such a high expectation about them? They are Filipinos! Ofcourse they are like that.

These are for Filipinas who are working/ living in abroad or Balikbayans or married to other nationalities:
Just because you are now different,
Just because you are now a lot better than your old neighbours,
Just because you earn loads,
Just because you are now successful,
Just because you have been to a greener pasture,
Just because you have nice things,
Just because you are wearing signature clothes, etc

Does not mean you need to be MEAN, to be arrogant, MAPAGMALIIT SA KAPWA,

Just stay humble
Be happy that some people admire you (even the ingeteros)
Be thankful of what you have
Pray for them so they could be happy of what they have too!

HUMILITY!
Don't forget you were once like them (wink)

I really agree with you sis....

I second the motion with you because sometimes I can hear some negatives words from my aunts and cousins that is base now abroad... They are not that arrogant or mapagmaliit but there's something with them that really change.... I guess they are too PROUD or something I just don't know maybe that's only my observation with them...
