I am living in the Philippines and i want to get it off my chest. I dont belong here; for my 30 years of existence I finally concluded I don’t belong in this backward country. At first I thought it is just my province but i lived in different parts of the country and they are almost all the same, although people in southern region are worse than my hometown; a shthead head guy literally said to me “go back to china”; southern Philippines looks different from people in northern region. Us in central and northern luzon looks more similar to east asians even if we dont have chinese ancestry. Their backward thinking, bigotry, green eyed monsters, racism, crab mentality etc I can’t stand it anymore. They are only nice to non Filipinos but if you are Filipino they will not hesitate to show their rotten attitude to you.

This country is also a prison like country; almost the same as NK; there are lots of cases where they dont allow filipinos to travel outside of countries and cases where the immigration staffs are extorting or stealing items from the passengers. Your best shot is if you have relatives overseas. Since I didn’t like it here I tried to apply for work overseas; there are employers who are interested in me BUT here is the problem, they cannot hire me unless THEY PAY an agency in the Philippines. Thats the rules in Philippines, a good business owner knows it is a waste of money; why they need to pay an agency if they can hire a local. Its the reason why the stereotype that Filipinos are maids or nurses or factory workers only. Because the professionals cant leave the country for work because of that stupid rule.

I am still not losing hope; I believe someday I can leave this country and find a place where I truly belong
