Kung kini si benigno sige panaway sa Pilipino, apil siya. Maayo ra nis istorya ning tawhana. pa ingles ingles kunohay aron ingnon. Kung ma lider mao ra gihapon ni. Kurakot gihapon ni. Hilas kaayo mo istorya murag si kinsa.

Mirror man kaha, then parehas ra tang tanan. Ay sige ug lecture. Ay sige ug pa as if. . .

And you think there is someone out there who will save us because he or she is not CORRUPT ?

And you think there is someone out there who will save us because he or she is not CORRUPT ?

But that's the whole problem with Pinoys. We are always looking for a saviour instead of thinking up ways to save ourselves.

Hallmark of a loser society.

Check out this article. It goes on to explore this very underbelly of the Pinoy psyche - our onion-skinnedness.

Excerpt:

Basic books on Filipino culture (and a number of Pearl columns) emphasize just how sensitive Filipinos are and how important it is to avoid open criticism. I would refer you to such sources as Alfredo and Grace Roces' Culture Shock! Philippines, Theodore Gochenour's Considering Filipinos, or any of F. Lando Jocano's excellent intercultural books (in particular Filipino Worldview: Ethnography of Local Knowledge and Working with Filipinos: A Cross-Cultural Encounter.)

While I am always conscious of this issue in interpersonal relationships in the Philippines, I hadn't really thought that much about how it plays out in the broader context of intercultural debate. Now, however, the bruises incurred in the battles described in "1. The Facts" have made me acutely aware of how much Filipinos hate being criticized and (especially) how much they hate foreigners (or other Pinoys for that matter) being critical of the Philippines.

It's not much of a stretch to refer to it as an "onion skin" mentality.

Happy reading! And keep this in mind when reading that article: Bawal ang pikon.
