Filipinos are smarter than some American people but those are the people who are participants of the special Olympics

Filipinos from large cities tend to be smarter. Filipinos from rural areas tend to be less educated

You are joking right? I've lived in the Philippines for over 20 years and I really can't say that is true. Look at the way you wrote the question, as an example....no capitalisation? Just because you have an education does not mean you are smart. A whole lot of people that I know over here have high degrees, but no common sense. You have your smart people all over the world. You don't have to come from a particular country to be smart, educated or have common sense, so I think your question is very biased.

I think that is a generalization. You mean filipinos in the USA have great careers right?' That's cus they were brainwashed to have a good education so they can take care of their parents when they grow old.

People who choose to educate themselves, and get educated are smart. I'm not Filipino and I'm pretty intelligent.

I've worked with hundreds of Filipinos, and I can tell you one thing; they aren't so smart! I found most of them to hold grudges, they're passive-aggressive, and rude. Out of all of the ones I've known, I can count on one hand the ones I would consider being friends with.

If they are so smart, why is their country so poor?
