Discriminations towards Bisaya?

it's discrimination, not descrimination. there's no such word as discriminations. discrimination is a noun so it has neither singular nor plural form.

anyway, i have always had this impression that some people from luzon (not only from manila) discriminate people who are from the visayas or mindanao, especially those who are cebuano-speaking. probably because the media before had this poor and demeaning portrayal of us. did you remember manilyn reynes' role in that stupid sitcom (i forgot the title). i hated it. i hated the way she spoke in it. it was so exaggerated and it never sounded funny or laughable to me. it was insulting. native cebuano speakers may have a thick accent when it comes to speaking tagalog but definitely it never sounded like that. it's either i have a bad sense of humor or it just wasn't a good thing for a cebuana like manilyn to do. it was a cultural blasphemy for me. but it's not only the "provincial people" who get discriminated. i have heard of provincial peeps who discriminate on people from manila.

i don't like that negative connotation that some people have about the "probinsiya" or the "probinsiyano." i don't think there's anything wrong with it but some people get offended by the idea or the concept. true, some people from the province may not be sophisticated like the people in manila but it is also true that some people in the province are more sophisticated and well-rounded than the people in manila. we have glamorous people from the major cities in the country outside manila, that's a fact.

so patas lang ang show!

I think kanang mga nagtubo jud sa Manila they dont mind. Its the probinsyanos from Luzon who love to discriminate kay insecure mana sila kay promdi cla so ang target nila ang mga bisaya. The bisaya and tagalogs have their own speech crutches so its pointless to make fun of it, patas ra hehehe

di na angay lalisan... ang importante, communication and understanding.
if mo-discriminate sila nimo, it's not your problem. ilaha na kay wa sila ka gets.

bitaw ako naka exprerience nasad ko aning discrimination from tagalogs, particularly those from manila.

simple comments reveal a different kind of attitude. "o, nag ge-german na naman kayo" comment from co-interns, "ai, bisaya!" comment from a sidewalk vendor.

i think it's part of the culture. just like china's sinocentrism, there is manilacentrism. naa juy mga tagalog ilang hunahuna second class citizens taga outside manila (or luzon ba kaha). of course this is backward thinking noh, pero dili ma deny napa jud ni.
