Well, that didn't go well with the natives
And I guess same goes for any country, who would like a foreigner to criticise your country ? Though, in PH, they are in the limelight due to their simple mindedness and forgiving nature ..
So .. my 2 cents ? let the locals do their own bashing, we keep our noses clean   |
You are spot on sir!
Just talking to them on a superficial level is fine, but once opinions are given, then maybe trouble.
I usually act blur when talking to pinoys and let them commit to their opinions without giving any of my own. After all, I'm just a flipping foreigner...
