    i live here, so i should know. we are a country with rich natural resources, badly governed by corrupt politicians. the bombings only happen in Mindanao (some areas) and Manila ONLY and that only happens when there isn't enough money passing the hands of people involved (did i mention we are lead by corrupt officials?) . you should try the Cordillera Province north of Manila where the average annual temperature is below 25% Celsius. perfect weather. we've been badly treated by some foreigners so we have preconceptions about them and often expressed to the wrong person. our hospitable nature have been exploited time and again and we experience being mistreated and badmouthed by piggish foreigners IN OUR OWN COUNTRY, so please bear with us when you start raising your voice and acting all bossy and we just ignore you or just punch your face. add to this the fact that you can rape our women and the government can do nothing about it and you have a recipe for a boiling rage that cannot...

    Despite the fact the Philippines has one of the most corrupt governments, Filipinos/-as are a proud people with a rich, colorful history. Filipinos/-as themselves are a diverse group, having been influenced first by indigenous Malays and later by other nearby Asian nations, not to mention the influence of Spain and the United States, which brought Catholicism and capitalism, respectively. All of these influences contributed to the unique-but-beautiful identity of Filipinos/-as around the world. And just to mention, I am a Filipino American who is extremely proud of my heritage. I definitely encourage others to learn about (and maybe visit) my ancestral country.

    I just returned from my second missions trip to the Philippines and once again, had a heavenly time. I have still yet to meet one unfriendly filipino, the people there are so amazing, hospitable, and thankful. Almost every person I talked to is so thankful for America and their part in liberating them from the Japanese, but above all they said, they are so thankful for America bringing them Jesus. They said the Lord has made all the difference in their country. Please pray for the filipinos, the filipino pastors, and the country. God bless the Philippines!

    My mom is a filipino, so we went to the Phillipines one summer. It was awesome! Everyone there treated me with royalty (once they found out I was American)!

    phillipines is where catholic priests and sick men go. if you go to the phillipines your a pedophile manilla is full of 4 year old prostitute boys. If you actually wanna give money to yet another sick disgusting country go ahead.

    Filipinas are very annoying. They are really really pushy. Very violent country, which is something Philippine people try so hard to mask.

    I never want to hate a country but sometimes I have to. The people were unbelievably rude and not quite tourist friendly people. Don't go there.:(

    The poor but the proud. A country can't be great when there are arrogant, self-centered people around. Philippinoes doesn't earn any respect from people, instead, it earned to be despise as well as be given a spit by others. Boo! Tang ina mo!

    I don't know about u guys, but its sure bad luck for me. Filippinos that ive seen leave a terrible impression for me. People were very unreasonale and rude and they like to think that they are the only country in Asia, which is of course wrong. Ive been there once and never would like to go there again

    my mother is filipino and i went once. it's a unique culture and the people are usually very friendly. it's like a charming south american country (from 500 years of spanish rule) mixed with asian/pacific heritage and influences. you'll be safe as long as you stay in and around Luzon, the northern of the three main islands. the other two in the south are where the muslim terrorists are.
