Aaaaand the Flaming Onion Skinned Pinoys are at it again…

The pseudo nationalistic Pinoys are all over this foreigner’s blog on how terrible Manila is.

“Manila itself is a shambles. The traffic is AWFUL (I seem to be using a lot of capital letters in this post) and nothing has been added to shops or other amenities (whereas e.g. Bangkok has transformed itself into an almost livable city).

Look: people will say the Filipino people are nice, and indeed they are polite – we Brits might say “smarmy” – obsequious or ingratiating are maybe less pleasant words. But they do try. That does take the edge off the sheer misery of a crumbling, filthy, depressing city and an economy that exists only on the remittances of the smart ones who have left.”

Not exactly a lie, & yet some Pinoys are all up in arms in defending our nation’s honor by typing in all caps & hurling incoherent insults towards the blogger. Kung gusto niyo ipaglaban ang dangal ng bansa, magsulat kayo ng comment na pinagisipan at ON TOPIC, huwag mo patunayan sa ibang lahi na inutil ang mga Pinoy. Or better yet, don’t be a hypocrite & let other nationalities say the things that you say yourself & focus your energies on actually being a good citizen. Don’t litter, follow traffic rules, do your homework & stop making pahid your kulangot on the pader. Yak!
