Hi All,
I am a North American of Spanish decent, I have had the privilege of being born and raised in what I would call the greatest country on the planet! Of course, this is just my opinion. I had plans to visit Cebu and then Central Luzon. However, after hearing how American’s act while visiting, what I believe is a truly hidden paradise rich in its beauty’s also as far as the Filipino’s over here in Miami, Florida go they are the sweetest most respectful individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And I have heard other’s who also confirm I am not alone in this assumption.
Now it worries me that the opinion generated by the rude generic load mouth American slob’s that could not find a wife here in the US so they over there representing their country like a wild fat cowboy’s from the 1800’s could have made it too dangerous for the average American to travel there to the PI. This is great disappointed because I had my sight’s set on going for a while. Remember the average American doe’s not usually go to the Philippine is because it is never the beautiful landscape scenery or the exotic tropical plants or wildlife. It is always the exotic women in the mail order bride catalog’s most American has seen or rememberd.
Now the vary Americans that would have proved to the avarge filipino we are all not that bad does not go to visit. I am sorry the filipino people either see or remember the crazy solider or the person we do not like here is the US either as samples of American’s. Really, there is no such thing as an American unless you are Native Indian, everybody here is came from a different culture and all are immigrants. Cuban, Puerto Rican, Pilipino, Russian, Japanese and the list goes on and on. In addition, a good majority of us respect each other and culture’s we may not understand! Yes we still have old fashion thinkers here in the mid-west but they are all almost dead of old age and we are working on the other’s. Please be patient and understand we are all human, there is good and bad in everyone. You have only experienced the bad ones.
I am interested in improving relations between the US Citizen’s (Not Government) and the Pilipino People. I believe there is a lot more there then meets the eye’s or ear’s, if anyone knows of such an organization that already exists Please let me know. JTrod2007@yahoo.com.
Lots of Love and Respect to all!
Your American Buddy!
