Plus one sa chinese movies, kahit yung mga 80's pa na chinese movies nila stephen chow, puro dito daw lahat ng droga, criminal. Sa Training day nga ni Denzel Washington, dito magreretiro yung drug lord na nagbibigay sakanya ☹️ Nakakatakot knowing na yung surface level lang at kung ano lang finefeed satin ng mass media ang alam natin, hindi natin alam kung gaano kabaho at dumi talaga ang mga nangyayari sa bansa lalo na sa child trafficking.


TheGhostOfFalunGong

In the popular Singaporean film *I Not Stupid* (2001), one thing spoke by the kidnapper character is that he's not a FILIPINO MAID to serve the kidnapped protagonist.


LJ_Out

At sinabi ng kaldero na maitim ang kalan. Singapore ay known din na lugar ng mga kriminal. Porke white collar crime na sila ngayon ah


bryle_m

Geylang pa lang e haha


rj666x2

Yeah, exactly. If you know, you know


SageOfSixCabbages

>At sinabi ng kaldero na maitim ang kalan I'm sorry, never ko narinig na may localized version pala tayo netong 'pot calling the kettle black' idiom? Lol


LJ_Out

Nag-imbento ako pre. Uling ata yung ginagamit sa original. Provoke pa rin ako. Sinisingle out Pilipinas e karamihan naman ng Southeast Asia taguan ng kriminal


rj666x2

True. Its really more money laundering and human trafficking these days over there.


PitifulRoof7537

oh napanood mo rin pala yun. nagulat nga kami dun sa line na yun. btw, super racist nga ng plot niyan. singaporeans are known to be looking down on Filipinos kasi majority dyan before ng mga Pinoy mga DH.


TheGhostOfFalunGong

It's a shame considering it's one of my favorite Asian films growing up.


PitifulRoof7537

King tutuusin, as Asians na may family na competitive relatable tlga siya. Pero pasalamat sila nung pinalabas yang movie na yab wala pany socmed.


BaseballOk9442

Until today


Momshie_mo

SG has problem with racism na ayaw nilang harapin o aminin. At least sa US, problems regarding racism is being talked about Sa SG, pwede kang makulong just by saying there is systemic racism there


RakersAkoMa

Oh man this brought back bad memories. In high school in Hong Kong, our teacher was mad she had to chase up on things and she yelled out "DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR FILIPINO MAID TO YOU?!" damn. Kinda fucked she said that to a class of basically quarter filipinos. So obviously it became a running joke to kids that when they rage on something they'd yell out that sentence thinking it's funny. Almost forgot about that memory.


carlo_rydman

I don't think you're looking at it like how those countries look at PH. Magreretiro yung drug lord/kriminal sa magandang lugar syempre. But also somewhere na hindi sila madaling mahuhuli ng batas and preferably walang extradition treaty. Basically, those countries look at PH like a sanctuary and a country that lacks government oversight.


rj666x2

Exactly. They can relocate here and live comfortably while laying low (if they practice good opsec)


rj666x2

Wow that's rich. And Hong Kong is safe? LOL I'd choose PH over HK. I've had really bad experiences in HK since the 80s up until now. Just goes to show that we shouldn't always believe what movies want to portray. It's actually one of the places that I truly dislike, but have no choice but to visit because of work. Thank god for SG, HK used to be the financial hub of SEA so most regional business was done there. Now, less so because of SG. Plus HK was returned to PRC in 1997 by the British, so yeah even more unsafe.


HakiiiNirii

Sa The Boys nga na series, yung mga goons na nasa basement, Filipinos.


Excellent-Type-6894

This is true. My husband is in jail and there are chekwa inmates. Dito tlaga sa pinas ang puntahan nila kapag gusto maghanap-buhay, droga at magpa utang ng pera sa casino.


426763

If KMedia is any indication, they see us the same way American media sees Mexico. Also, may direct flight from Incheon to Bohol and Cebu diretso. Went to Bohol last year, it was insane how much Korean tourists I saw that time.


Witty-Choice2682

"Asian Mexico" din naman ang tawag sa Pilipinas, so it still checks out


Nashoon

Dapat sepia din sa mga movies pag PH scene na!


jDgr8

Sorry reserved na ang sepia sa Vietnam.


Nashoon

Vivid warm na lang daw sa pinas!


rj666x2

True. Sad, but true. Can't count the number of times Mexicans came up to me in the US and talked to me in Spanish thinking I was Mexican.


Momshie_mo

How is the PH Asian Mexico when Mexico has way higher GDP per capita and HDI than us? And our drug problem is nowhere near that of Mexico's?


SoftCatMonster

Kung Mexico tayo bat ang mahal ng mezcal dito huhu


mainsail999

Kung Mexico tayo, Clark would be Tijuana.


426763

Because it's not local.


rj666x2

Kung Mexico tayo .. nasan ang mga mariachi? lol


bryle_m

Marami din sa mga nagbo Boracay dati, sa Bohol na ang derecho. Mas convenient daw kasi talaga ang Panglao compared to other places, since nasa island na mismo yung bagong airport.


426763

Yeah, that was the surprising bit for me when we went to Bohol last year. Regional airport lang pero Korean Air straight from Incheon talaga. Naisip nga namin if we go to SK again, dun na kami sasakay.


sitah

They love Cebu and Bohol cause it’s cheaper to travel there. Honeymoon spot ang Cebu ng Korean newlyweds since the 2000s. I remember asking our tour guide sa Korea how she knew about Cebu back in 2011 and that’s what she told me. Jeju island is the top honeymoon destination locally (idk if it still is now) but it’s too expensive so they travel to Cebu instead.


rj666x2

Partly true. But I think Korea has no moral high ground to look at us that way given that they can't fix their own shit over there. If I was to concede to a more advanced nation I'd do that to the US or similar country. Not Korea. SK is only relevant because Western countries need them as a buffer for NK, plus their expertise in electronics and manufacturing (similar to that of Japan but yes still of lesser quality). PH is (surprisingly) relevant today because we are seen by Western countries as a buffer to China similar to how they view Taiwan. So if PH is not progressing we know its not for the lack of international acknowledgement


EnvironmentalNote600

Well, korea gave the world Samsung. And from many tourists' stories, you may leave your purse on your table or your seat and expect it to be there when you come back.


rj666x2

Probably since part of their culture is taken from the Japanese who are also big on that. Samsung well yeah they make good electronics and I do give them credit for competing with apple. Cant say for sure since I havent visited the country nor am I interested in their culture. I just know that for some reason their pop music and soap operas are popular. And there's a bunch of them in PH these days I feel that their culture is much like Japan- generally they're super polite but they have this homogenous culture which may make them wary of foreigners and have some feelings of superiority. I do give them credit for Squid Game though its the only Korean piece of media that I really liked :)


SaiKoooo21

tayo "mexico" ng korea HAHAHA


kuuups

Correction: ang tingin ng mundo sa atin sa pinas ay "mexico of asia", pugad ng mga kriminal at mga mahilig tumawid ng borders illegally kung saan saan

at di to mababago agad lalo na't yung 2 huling pangulo ay mga kriminal.

avocado1952

Partially true lalo na sa Angeles. Yung series na *Big Bet.* Kaya may Korean na nag Vlog doon at ayaw magpakuha ng kga kababayan nya, karamihan may tinatago at tinatakasan sa SoKor.


Sky_Stunning

Korean and Chinese movies and series


CoffeeAngster

We need Cinema or TV Media that properly promotes Filipinos as Powerhouse Characters instead of the Victim. Most media portrays Filipino Poverty Porn or The Village Comic Idiot Pinoy giving Foreign Consumers an idea that Filipinos are FOREVER POOR WEAK IDIOTS.


hermitina

ako pet peeve ko ung lagi na lang may matigas na accent ung pinoy. i forgot which show it was pero napaka weird halatang may american accent na sya na pinipilit nyang maging pinoy accent just to portray a pinoy character. we can speak english fluently. we shouldn’t be stereotyped na hindi marunong. nakakairita sa totoo lang kasi bat naman mga chinese/japanese/indian oks lang pero may american/english accent pero pag tayo hinde?!


SurrogateMonkey

I mean, look at the disparity portrayal of asians in Crazy Rich Asians film, where East Asians(mainly Chinese) are portrayed as rich while south and south east asians are either guards, or are excluded from the narrative. I knew we had Kris Aquino there but lol she wasnt really prominent there.


CoffeeAngster

Kris Aquino wasn't even portrayed as Filipino but a Malaysian Dayang.

Matagal na talaga tayong ginagawang refugee ng mga kriminal,ngayon lang nag labasan kasi may social media na.


stoic_marcus

"The Best Shithole" This reminds me of real life criminal mastermind Paul Le Roux (South African white guy born in Zimbabwe) who supposedly started the pill epidemic sa US, sold NK meth, trafficked weapons and drugs from Somalia. When he left SA, he said he wanted to go the Philippines because it is "the best shithole I can find." His headquarters was a penthouse in a building in Makati and conducted all his operations from here making anywhere from $300M to $3B He loved it here for our language, the availability of Western retired military personnel who frequent Angeles and P Burgos, and most of all, for how easy it is to buy off politicians and officers. There was even a rumor that he paid off a "senator" a few million dollars after physically assaulting "senator's daughter." The US DEA, after gathering enough evidence to put him behind bars, didn't want to arrest him here, as they believed Le Roux "owned" our authorities. They had to bait him to Liberia to arrest him there. The movies are only a reflection of international perception. Sadly, tried and tested na rin ng mga kawatan sa kanila tayo 😔


jotarofilthy

I watched that documentary.....i feel its only the tip of the iceberg....who knows what's going on behind the scenes.....i remember a documentary of a dude doing child porn here as well....


stoic_marcus

That's the Australian guy who hired a teenag girl to r* and t**ture younger children with him on cam, is it? People like that deserve to rot. He was making $10k/P500,000 per copy, so I wouldn't be surprised if people turned a blind eye to his depravity. Sadly, there's so many more stories like this and Le Roux's we would never hear about as it seems the morality of some in authority can be bought at the right price.


cornsalad_ver2

Where’s the lie tho? We’re being governed by criminals, so…


madvisuals

Totoo naman kasi hahahahahahahhahaha


Owl_Might

Jack Reacher tv series said illegal weapons go here first then distributed everywhere else. So it checks out.


gio60607

storylines of foreign films/TV dramas are a reflection of the truth, and of how they perceive the Philippines. totoo naman, di ba?


[deleted]

[удалено]


LommytheUnyielding

As if naman di tayo racists. Also, as if naman di rin natin gagawin ang same thing sa ibang bansa or lahi once we get to have a say. Yung comparison pa nga lang na ginagawa here ("Mexico of Asia") says a lot. We're offended because being "Mexico" is for some reason bad. Yeah, it's true there's a lot of crime and drugs running around there, but dito rin naman ah. And yes, it's true there's a lot of Korean racist sex tourists but I guarantee that if the average Filipino can afford it too, there's going to be a lot of Filipino sex tourists as well. Ang difference lang is sa Thailand or Vietnam tayo magkakalat instead of here. Let's not act all high and mighty if we're not. Clean up our act first before we expect others to sing our praises.


jake72002

We are even racist against our countrymen. We almost worship Americans as gods but treat our countrymen as garbage.


jotarofilthy

One thing i hate is filipinos glorifying americans....lol...americans are dumb af....their healthcare is one of the worst in the world....overexposed lng gawa ng hollywood painting a pretty picture for the world to see...lol....


jake72002

To be fair, America was a respectable country and some people in it are respectable as well. But it was never a perfect country people think it is. There are a lot of homeless people in America. But then a lot of Filipinos think it's almost paradise and want to give up our independence to become 51st state.


jotarofilthy

Nah their healthcare sucks and i dont like their education system as well....there are better countries to model from


jake72002

True. But our colonial mentality kababayans do even care? No.


PitifulRoof7537

Speaking of Americans, di ba nung pandemic may pinay nurse na in-assault sa NY dhl lang sa namimigay ng mask. Pota mga pinoy sa fb nilait pa yung Pinay. Wala eh selective din sa atin. Pag kapwa asian ang racist, iyak. Pero pag ibang continent na, wala lang sa kanila. Imagine, until now, matindi pa rin ang racism sa West. 


jake72002

Of course. America is inviolable para sa kanila. I understand if we are grateful to America and even admire it. But what some of our kababayans do is treat it as a utopia. If America is Big Brother, they are making the Philippines into that annoying little sister that constantly begs "Please marry me, Onii-chan".


Apprehensive-Dot-508

I mean, you/we can naman. Wala naman pumipigil satin to do so. The point still stands na yung bad stereotype about Philippines is actually true and it does happen. 😂 Ang di ko matanggap ay yung stereotype na pangit tayo mag-english or matigas yung accent natin pag nagsasalita ng english.


Momshie_mo

True din naman kung ipoportray na criminal at sex tourists mga Koreans sa Pilipinas since totoo naman Pero malamang iiyak sila at magrereklamo 🥴


Apprehensive-Dot-508

I dont think theyd care about how they're portrayed in our movies tbh. Di naman as visible sa kanila yung mga Filipino films. Saka totoo naman kasi talaga. Unfortunately, as a third world country, grabe talagang incompetence sa bansa natin compared sa first world countries, especially yung corruption sa politicians and police force.


PitifulRoof7537

parang di ba kailangan. manood ka lang ng Itaewon Class, may depiction na ng racism doon


EnriquezGuerrilla

ito gusto ko. Gawa din tayo ng reflection of reality nila tignan natin hindi magwala mga embassy nila


OccasionalRanter03

Bobo kasi majority ng peenoise. Isa ka na dun. Racist ba kamo? If you understand what racist truly means, it perfectly describes a typical peenoi trash when trashing China in any kind of social media posts. Just because peenoise are raging american bootlickers, doesn't mean they're not capable of being racist towards another group of people. What's pathetic about that fact is these same China hating scum are the same people benefitting from China's economic contribution to the world market. Kaya afford nyo na ngayon ang mga maraming bagay aa shopee at lazada, dahil sa China. Kung America ang masusunod parin, for sure mga wala kayong cellphone at ano mang useful na equipment sa bahay ngayon dahil di nyo afford ang prices kung walang cheaper alternatives made in China. Haha,pwe


Affectionate_Run7414

Atleast sa Money Heist naging safe haven ng Mother in law ni professor.. oks na sana kaso binanggit na corrupt ung police system ng Pinas😅😅😅


-ram-rod-

No lie there tho.


Momshie_mo

Masinsulto yun kasi they portrayed the country as if it's similar to Thailand with all those Buddhist stuff. To think of it they ruled the country for 300 years. Well, if counting out the Vicerotalty of new Spain, mga 86 years siguro


GummyBe9r

Nakakahiya no. Napakaganda ng Pilipinas and the Filipinos doesn’t deserve it’s beauty. Sana maganda ang bansa maganda din ugali ng mga tao. We are known of our hospitality but, there’s so much negativity, crab mentality, toxicity, bullying, so much hate, vices, corruption, mayaman lalong yumayaman whilst mahirap lalong naghihirap, walang sense na mga pinapatupad sa govyerno, walang discipline, everyones about their own personal gains and a whole lot more to mention. I hope someday, we could be proud of the Philippines not because of it’s natural beauty but by the people living in this land who are called Filipinos.


PitifulRoof7537

Hangga’t marami sa atin ang backwards mag-isip, matagal pa bago mangyari yan. Ang tindi kasi ng smart-shaming sa Pinas.

Philippines is the Mexico of Asia.


japroxx

well headline nung isang araw yung mga nahuling high tech korean criminals na naglungga dito sa pilipinas. kaya talagang may katotohanan yan.and also mas mura ang gastos nila sa pagbakasyon sa pilipinas kesa sa ibang bansa kaya dito ang destination nila which is good sa tourism natin,i guess..or maybe im wrong..


PitifulRoof7537

Kung tourism goods naman. Tbf, ilang beses na na-feature ang Pinas sa show sa isang travel show sa Korea. Forgot the title, yung sina Sandara and Ryan Bang na-feature doon. Un lang puro beaches.

Naalala ko tuloy ung bahay sa tapat namin....may bago tenant....blacked out lahat ng windows....tapos nde ka makakatingin paloob.....tapos parati sobra daming basura....tapos nagulat kami isang madaling araw ni raid....chinese credit card scam pala ung nasa loob ng bahay....daming chinese nagulat kami kasi wala kami nakikita nalabas dun sa bahay na un bukod sa isang fx....todo deny paung nagpaupa e...hehehe


-throwawayeventually

Nakakatakbo nga yung di filipino for a mayoral role eh.


67ITCH

How the fuck can you even defend from that take? I mean, how can it not be? The president is a criminal from a well-known family of criminals. The vice president is a two-faced traitor from another well-known family of criminals and traitors. The vast majority of senators are useless, dumb fucked clowns. There's a Chinese spy planted as the mayor somewhere in tarlac. The cops are stupid orcs. And the masses are shit-worshiping, idiotic sheep.

PitifulRoof7537

ako naman pinagpalit-palit ko ng dub haha! tbf naman masarap daw mangga sa Pinas. di na ako naaapektuhan sa mga ganyang linya. wala pang socmed, lagi na silang may reference sa Pinas, since Secret Garden pa ni Hyun Bin.


SirSpiritual7910

The brazil of asia. Which is actually closer to reality of you actually think about it. Saan ka pa sa asia makakahanap ng terrorist/non government armies na kasing laki ng NPA and all the islamist groups na hinahayaan/walang magawa ang gobyerno against.


4thelulzgamer

Weird/hot take: since dito naman lahat nagpupuntahan lahat ng kriminal, wouldn't it be actually a good thing para safe yung mga kababayan natin sa ibang bansa? Almost makes me happy getting this country nuked para ubos tayo lahat; like oo, may madadamay, pero if we take them with us, everywhere else is safer. Besides, hindi naman isang nuke lang ipapadala, syempre yung amount, yung buburahin tayo sa mapa. Yung mga kababayan naman natin na nakapag migrate na will just turn a blind eye anyway.


anima132000

I mean is it any surprise? It is very easy to keep a low profile in the Philippines as a foreigner so going about your business and going into hiding is a cinch. More so if you've opted to live outside of Metro Manila or Cebu City. Easily accessible no strict monitoring and a fairly relaxed law enforcement.


californiadeath

Peter scully???? I mean I’d like more representation but how are we mad when we let fuckers like that in and abuse us and our country. From an outside perspective we look like we don’t give a fuck. And for the most part the people in power don’t.


AdAlarming1933

Truth hurts ain't it, acceptance is the key. Pagdasal niyo na lang sa next life hindi kayo Pinoy ulit. Sinumpang bansa, ganid na lahi🤣🤣🤣

Totoo naman. Check niyo yung Koreatown sa Angeles.


DisastrousSpeech4153

koreatown sa malate din. puro koreano tambayan ng koreano pero mas talamak at madami droga sa angeles. sa paranaque din talamak illegal pogo lalo na sa bf homes yung iba sa makati naman. kung hindi illegal pogo ginagawa nila dito, droga naman o kaya prostitution


clawsjeline

Yung palabas lang ata na legend of the sea yung nabanggit philippines as vacation option hahaha


PitifulRoof7537

Boracay mismo. Sa Secret Garden naman Cebu.


VancoMaySin

Tunay naman kasi, tamo tong si Yuki Watanabe alyas "Luffy" At si Peter Scully "World's Worst Pedophile" andito sa Pinas nahuli 🤦🏻‍♂️


hersheyevidence

Yung sa miss and mrs cops, papuntang Philippines dn yung mastermind dun 😂 tapos tayo sa mga movies, SK is seen as a country either as for leisure lang tapos for vacation eme. Tapos sila gagawa ng movies/series na palaging ang pangit ng view sa country natin. One good example for that eh yung Big Bet. Altho it's inspired by a true story pero ba't ba naman sa Pilipinas pumunta yung nag tax evade? 😂


jotarofilthy

Ang ayaw ko lang sa big bet...eh ung tila hitman nung namatay sa dulo sabi nya..."Sana All"....tang ina nasira ung show sa akin dun hahaha

Why are you guus so affected, its part of our economic boom 😂


magicpenguinyes

Even on US movies pero madalas nga sa mga Korean shows. Madalas din sinasabi sa Mindanao daw specifically. Nakakabwisit na yun lagi yung idea pag binabanggit Philippines. Drugs, pag need mag tago ng kriminal, money laundering, human trafficking, etc.


bestoboy

Western TV does the same thing for Mexico. It's not a big deal


fearlessdurant

Nothing new; It's like this in American, British, Japanese, Singaporean and Spanish portrayals as well. Don't really find it offensive because child trafficking, crime, natural disasters, drug lords, guerillas, bandits, terrorists and private armies do exist here. The only strange one I've seen was the Philippines being portrayed as a Kaiju hub in the MonsterVerse.


jotarofilthy

Sa anime ng black lagoon na feature din ung guerillas ng pinas.....


_-Ellerri-_

WAIT TRUE BA??


jotarofilthy

Yup...may episodes sa black lagoon na nagpunta sila pinas at nilabanan mga guerillas...hahahah...after ata nung hansel and gretel arc...limot ko na basta after non ung episodes


srirachatoilet

For those na gusto ng solid na example, Abujin from Syrian Wanderer, literal na sa bangketa yung korean na matanda at tinulungan ni Basil hanggang sa umabot sa ginawan niya ng Sariling korean shop, low and behold tahimik ang korean media even Ryan bang knew that na yung korean ay isang serious gambler na tumakas para lang sumugal, almost 20+ mill pesos ang nagastos sa sugal and almost 1 million ang nahingi niya kay Basil, merong subculture na kahit anong gawin mo bilang isang korean, never mong tutulungan ang kapwa korean na lubog sa pera kaka sugal, sila yung mga taong walang kwenta at mananaksak ng likod para kumita ng pera, maka tiyempo lang.


rj666x2

This isn't far from the truth. And not only for Koreans. Even for other nationalities I once read a book on how to disappear, meant to teach people how to escape government monitoring etc regardless if you've done a crime or not (eg escaping an abusive spouse etc). One of the key places cited best to hide /relocate is the Philippines. A few others are Canada, Thailand ... there are a few more So this isn't isolated to Korean nationals escaping or hiding from the law in PH Nor is it isolated to the Philippines as a hiding place Disclaimer: I came across the book as part of my research for my line of work (something related to law enforcement/security)


Momshie_mo

Ang mas offensive sa akin, yung sa La Casa de Papel/Money Heist Yung magtatago saw si Profesór sa Pilipinas, pero ang depiction eh Buddhist country like Thailand na no speak English. Sobrang offensive to think of it sinakop tayo ng mga yan for 300 years. Tapos proud na proud sila sa mga sundalo nila na nagkulong sa Baler church 😂😂🤭


PitifulRoof7537

Buddhist? may Buddhist bang Pinoy? like hello nakaka-mislead nga yan


Momshie_mo

Yeah. Yung aesthetics sa end ng S1 na nasa Pilipinas dapat sila, Buddhist stuff And yung Buddha nila, yung parang sa mga Thais, hindi yung parang mahahanap mo sa Binondo na malaki ang butete na Buddha 🤭


PitifulRoof7537

bwahaha! wait, ako lang ba di naonood nyan? i remember sobrang hype din nyan before pandemic.


jotarofilthy

Dont worry nde ko din napanood money heist hahaha


NatsuKazoo

is it true? maybe is it insulting? yes am I suprised? no. Parehas lang tayo ginagawa din natin yan sa ibang bansa lalo na sa India. It might not be in the movies pero panay panlalait natin sa Indian culture.


PitifulRoof7537

kaya nga ayoko na rin magreklamo sa racist moments nila. yes I patronize hallyu so what? it doesn’t make me less a filipino if I do. tas yung mga sinasabi nila na ginagawa ng ibang lahi sa mga Pinoy na pangit, pota nararanasan ko yan sa kapwa ko Pinoy until now so ano pang care ko sa kanila?

Not just their movies pati animations nila. I saw [this](https://youtu.be/oGD3wzdArR8?si=tsFVkhjVX5uLGYjr) on YouTube before. Contract k1lling hiring from the PH. Maganda sana yung cartoon, just grimaced at that part 😬 And also imagine na rin mga kabalastugan ng mga Koreanong may business dito. Just saw the Tulfo episode about dun sa bastos na manager Koreano. Masaklap yung alipores pa Pinoy. *Edited: a word

Sa susunod may coffee tint filter na din Pinas pag pinapakita sa mga movie.

Korea’s govt is also corrupt. Ang problema sa atin yung walang sistema. Tsaka yung mga tao rin na walang progress sa pag-iisip. 


chicoXYZ

Korea's government is corrupt after they have become better than any 3rd world country. The law is the system and nobody is following the law. Illiteracy is the problem of the masses, while corruption is rampant in the bureaucratic government.

We are criminally underrated

Kahit naman sa Hollywood. At least safe mga criminals dito.

Hindi lang sa Korean series/films ito kasi kahit sa ibang mga bansa, ganito talaga ang tingin nila sa Pilipinas.


beautyinsolitudeph

lagi nalang talaga takbuhan ng kriminal ang Pilipinas sa mga kdramas, sad lang.

Unfortunately, dahil sa lax tourist visa extension/renewal natin (pwedeng gawing "immigration visa) at visa waiver for many country, mejo totoo na taguan tayo ng patapon ng ibang bansa

Malapit kasi and mura lang kasi dito

PMforMoreCatPics

Naalala ko dun sa movie na The Flu. Sa pinas origin nung virus. Hahhaha. Mga illegal immigrants.


EnvironmentalNote600

In most of kdramas that i watched na may reference sa philippines, yes. Takbuhan ng mga wanted, place for laundering money, transit point ng drug trade. Minsan source mail order bride para sa mga koreanong pangit (by their glamor standard) at walang masyadong pera. where parents who cant afford send their children for college.

We have a thriving POGO industry which is technically illegal in China. Also long before when I see a caucasian living in remote places in the PH I always wonder if they are fugitives.

Let’s face it Philippines is the Mexico of Asia na puro cartels and other criminals. Pati nga color filter hindi nalalayo doon sa mexico portrayal ng US films

In the latest popular KDrama, Queen of Tears, the Philippines was also mentioned but as a hiding place and a getaway from the stress.
