Filipinos are good people just like everyone else! There is nothing bad about them as a people. I may not like a Filipino because of their personal character; but not because of where they are from or their culture. That is how you are supposed to judge people--by the content of their character (Martin Luther King Jr. I Have a Dream speech), no matter what their ethnicity.
The Filipinos I know seem to like karaoke and playing scrabble. Many of them are nurses and like to get together with other Filipinos and talk in their different dialects. Some that I know, were in mail-order-bride catalogs which can seem strange if you are not familiar with the process. They seem to just want to enjoy their lives, friends, and family like everyone else. What's not to like? Sometimes it can be hard to understand someone if they speak with an accent; but that is not reason not to like them. With time you can learn to understand what they mean.

I think they are very clever people and hard working. I also believe that because of these traits they are one of the most exploited peoples on the planet. They work all over the world for low pay. They are in demand because of their work ethic. Their women are abused, especially when they are hired as domestic workers. The ladies that come to USA/Europe as mail-order brides are taking a great risk to their health/lives (sometimes these marriages work out well. It is a roll of the dice.)

It is a great country wherein any filipinos overseas will look up to the sky from time to time and wonder when will they get to see their beloved homeland again

Has the potential to be a great country but current politics will bring it down to hell.
