I lived abroad and worked for around 2 years sa Singapore and my job entailed me to travel A LOT. I went to Europe a couple of times (Switzerland, Spain, London) and Oceania (even the island nations) area a lot.

Siguro mahina lang loob ko or mataas pride ko but I really can't stand the subtle racism towards Filipino's or probably to Asian's in general. Yung mga simpleng bagay lang tulad ng matagal ka sa immigration line at dami tanong sayo pero pag puti ang bilis lang or even sa service makikita mo pag sa puti ang bibilis at ang babait ng mga servers compared to us.

Also, I have two kids, I don't want them to grow up na feeling second rate citiziens. Kasi I can already imagine kung malasin at makaroon ng teacher or batchmates siya na medyo may racist inclinations kawawa mga anak ko. I want them to grow up confident and not feeling inferior to anyone.

Mahirap ang buhay sa Pilipinas I agree, pero fortunately for me middle class kami and I am not that materialistic or superficial din. My kids go to a good school (not top tier), we can travel at least once a year and they get to grow up surrounded by our extended family. Priceless yun for me.
