I am also Russian, I will not call Philippino people stupid. Some of them are disrepectful on the road (drivers don't give way to pedestrians), some of them when they see a foreigner shout HEY JOE (they think that all foreigners are Americans?), some of them when they when they see a foreigner, say GAGO. But mostly Philippinos are very good, kind, respectful and shy.

3:20 "I don't like...SOME people is a LITTLE stupid." When you say "calling us this way" it implies you take it as if he said "everyone is stupid". He said "SOME" meanining "not us". Russian used the word "Some" meaning "only SOME of us" is a LITTLE stupid(not FULL stupid). Gotta get the details accurate especially when our kababayans have tendencies to exaggerate and overreact.😉 REAL TALK: lampas 50% pinoy ay "stupid". Reason? (it's how you differentiate the terms STUPID from IDIOT.) STUPID(tanga) means you are SMART enough to know what is right from wrong but STILL went ahead to do the wrong thing. IDIOT(bobo) = low I.Q.; can't discern what is right from wrong. DEFINITELY hindi ganyan ang Pinoy. We are HIGHLY intelligent. But we often use EMOTIONS (instead of logic) in decision making. It ends up in doing stupid acts and reactions. #FACTS #emotionsaside #unbiasedobservation

Let me tell you something about Filipinos, they are very self aware. If you call them stupid, they know it's true. We even call ourselves those things " ungoy, magnanakow, walanghiya, stupid", If you call most of them lazy, they know it's true. Filipinos know all of this and only if they are in a group they will get aggressive,but if they are by themselves they will most likely ignore you unless you get in their face. It's ok.

I just follow the leader. Last night we had a huge party of 100 plus people. It was a graduation party for our youngest. The one thing I that I did not like, was all the old timers kept forcing liquor. And they would get mad I refused the offer. I don't drink. And they kept asking me to buy a case of Empi light. I will not buy liquor. I offered to buy water instead. So far all is well (borderline phenomenal). I'll just say, certain people have no clue what a budget is.

With that said, would this be a deal breaker for anyone wanting to get away from the madness of North America and western Europe? Most likely not. The majority of foreigners don't spend their time with other foreigners. To a lot of us, other foreigners in the Philippines are rejects that we would've never ever even looked at in our home countries. Now... Is it possible to have a conversation about the meaning of life or the reasons why locals are onion skinned with Filipinos? Not a chance... Very very emotional population with a hive mentality that keeps them in a hole. The Philippines was once the most prosperous nation in Asia (that's right. Ahead of China). Those days are long gone and it is reflected in the annual global education rankings (among the least performing nations in STEM and reading comprehension). Learn to hear things that go against what you like and believe. It will do you, and your kababayan, a great deal of good.

Agree 💯 Filipinos must also learn to accept criticism from others. Don't be angry or upset, it's just natural that wherever you go in this world, there are always stupid people. We are not perfect, so at least he didn't generalized all are stupid. It's good that's he's honest to what he observed in the country and the people.

My take on when he said "stupid , it's crazy" is that for him coming from a place where harsh winters that last for months is a reality, where people need to think, work and prepare months ahead for the cold, where life is a literal battle for survival; whereas here, it is diametrically opposite to his country, we have the luxury of a more laid back, relaxed life style which is stupid (READ: unthinkable), so crazy (unbelievable) so as much so as to make it "dislike-able" (READ: uncomfortable) for someone alien to our way of life. In short, a massive culture shock for him.

I think what he really meant was that many Filipinos don't plan life way in advance and are more carefree ("stupid" was not the correct or most accurate word) because there's no long, cold, winter season to warrant it, unlike in Russia- if you don't plan for the winter, you could be cold, starving, even no longer alive after winter!

There’s a saying: it takes one to cqll one. So if you call someone stupid, maybe you are too. It’s not being stupid if people are relaxed. Philippines is just so blessed with the weather and with the geography. But, right people still need to use their critical thinking. But don’t call people stupid if you’re just a guest of their homeland. It’s rude and ungrateful.

As a Filipino, yeah, some people here stupid and lazy. They don't prepare for the future, as the next day you can eat anything you want, or harvest some coconut/banana/fish while in Russia you need to plan, farm, harvest so you have to eat something in the next 6 months or else you'll die of starvation or cold weather. Samantalang dito, di ka magugutom basta masipag ka. Sa kanila, kahit masipag ka, hirap pa din ang buhay. Tapos me apat na mood pa ang weather. Halos nasa paraiso nga tayo halos, pero di un narerealize ng iba.

@drcldiao2 Ай бұрын

Obviously, he is telling the truth. In the Philippines, life is easy because we only have one season, and if you plant anything, it grows. It has been a blessing and a curse. It makes us complacent and easygoing, unlike the Westerners. This has molded us as a people. Unlike in Russia or any cold weather country, where you have to plan ahead; otherwise, it will be difficult to survive. Regarding what he said about some stupid people, they are all over the world, whether here in America, Europe, or Asia.
