>>2903522Just wanted to pop in and say fuck y'all racists.Yes, the Philippines is a shithole but that's because of its history, not because Filipinos are racially inferior or some bullshit.The turning point came when Ferdinand Marcos came to power (supported by the US), crushed the Communist guerrillas and installed crapitalism in the country.His regime is widely characterized as a kleptocracy and the worst thing is it didn't end with him: his family still wields immense political influence and regularly wins elections.That's the actual reason the Philippines is a shithole. The average Filipino is an uneducated troglodyte precisely because the Marcos dictatorship and subsequent governments have deliberately neglected education as a ploy to keep the general population illiterate and stupid, which guarantees that they'll vote for the same corrupt kleptocrats again and again.You can call the Philippines what it is but at least have the decency to do it for the right reasons.
>>2903526Phillipines is a shithole because of capitalism?
>>2903522My dream is to go some remote province and pay parents to uh nvm
>>2903526UP Diliman NPA sympathizer spotted
>>2903526You obviously meant Ferdinand Magellan.
Why do third worlders honk constantly?
>>2903560>Why do third worlders honk constantly?Dark skinned people have no concept of noise pollution. If you ever worked in a kitchen with blacks and browns you will know they are constantly shouting warnings all the time. They project their own ineptitude with spatial awareness onto others.
>>2903560>>2903568Yea its a fucking nightmare. NOISE NOISE NOISE everyday
>>2903522Hey I posted in the last thread too, but is there a safe way to meet people in the Philippines?? I'll be in Manila Nov 24I want to practice tagalog and just hangout and see things. Not sex just am doing a solo vacation because no one else could come with me.
>>2903568>>2903582I'm first world (Canada) and it happens here, not sure why you assume that it's "third world" to honk it's better than anything burgers do
>>2903683Wat there's barely any honking in Canada
>>2903687Come to Toronto lol, honking has been increasing since covid. Not that big of an issue, at least I know the city is growing.
>>2903526Those Filipinos you claim are stupid at least got turned stupid for free. You paid to go to a scam college and become a retarded useless communist terrorist-in-waiting. I hope the price wasnt too much.
>>2903767Remember when those Diliman larpers got killed up in the mountains in Negros"We Dindu Muffin wuz just larping"
>>2903522I'm trying to decide where to go mid October until January. Should I do Philippines again or try Japan for the first time? I've been in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea this year so pussy has been in short supply.Also - how does Indonesia compare to the Philippines when it comes to girls? Thinking about spending 6 months there next year.
>>2903785>Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea >pussy has been in short supply.Paypig coper
>>2903785Do you work while visiting?
>>2903787Yep
>>2903788Do you learn the language before getting a job there?
>>2903785Philippines. Japan has nothing going for it unless you want to see fat white people everywhere.
>>2903788Why are you an incel?
Philippines for NormiesHerein is a list of destinations for normies traveling to the Philippines.All of these places have been pre-vetted, have accommodations sufficient for people accustomed to first-world plumbing, are Instagram-friendly, and allow you to pretend that you didn't just fly to the Philippines to have sex with a bunch of freelance hookers from FilipinoCupidBut first, a list of places that have plenty of foreigners but aren't necessarily Normie Destinations™.And yes, I know you may find a normie or two there. You can also find a random white guy in a village in Papua New Guinea...That doesn't make the village a vacation destination. Their are always outliers 1. ManilaNo white woman has ever uttered the sentence:“Babe, I want to take a vacation to Manila.”Plenty have said:“Babe, I want to go to Bangkok.”Nobody has been at brunch in London and said..>You know what, MANILA is the one for our honeymoon!Manila is where you land. It is not necessarily where you want to spend your vacation.You can hit most of the historical sights in a day, and yes, yes, I know BGC is “so modern and hip.” Congratulations. You have successfully created a business district!You can walk through much of it in 20 minutes and then spend six hours sitting in traffic going to Intramuros contemplating your life choicesUnless you have business there, family there, or some bizarre personal interest in Metro Manila traffic, most tourists should probably treat Manila as the loading screen before the actual Philippines begins.
>>29038432. Angeles CityHave you ever been to Walking Street in Thailand?You can stroll down it around sunset and, despite the bars, discos, neon lights, and obvious sex-tourism infrastructure, it can still somehow feel like a normal tourist area. I've literally walked around there with my family and seen plenty of people who appeared to be regular-ass tourists just enjoying the atmosphere and people-watching.Angeles City has a different energy.Walking around parts of Angeles at night can feel like you've accidentally entered the extended universe of the sexpat industrial complex.The desperation is practically atmospheric.You've got bars, promoters, nightlife workers, ancient expats lurking around like they've been waiting for their turn since the Reagan administration, and enough aggressively transactional energy to make even a cynical backpacker think, “Maybe I'll just go to the mall.”It's not necessarily dangerous or uninteresting. It's just difficult to pretend you're there for the architecture.Nobody is going to believe you flew to Angeles because you were passionate about the local heritage.3. DumagueteDumaguete is perfectly fine.That's actually the problem.Unless you're studying, teaching, retiring, or conducting a longitudinal research project on how many beers a Western retiree can consume before noon, you might eventually run out of things to do.The city has a conspicuous population of older Western expats, which gives certain bars the atmosphere of a retirement community that happens to have palm trees.Sit down for a drink and there's a non-zero chance some 67-year-old Canadian named Dave will explain how he “escaped the rat race” while simultaneously complaining about Philippine bureaucracy for the next 45 minutes.It's also popular with nursing students, so the local ecosystem basically consists of:Nursing studentsRetired foreignersForeigners pretending they're not retiredPeople dating one of the aboveDave
I made a Filipino friend and the first text I got was wanting to borrow money
>>>>>2903522 God curse The Communist Party of China; God bless The Republic of the Philippines. Ahmeyn; It is Uncontrollable. [ 4-4-4 ]
>>2903688>Come to TorontoCome to the city filled with third worlders to see first worlders also do it kek you're proving his point
>>2903844AI told me to do this:Part 1: Manila (BGC) - Staying in a super modern/safe area. Doing a deep dive into WWII history (Corregidor Island fortress & the massive American Cemetery) plus exploring the 16th-century walled city of Intramuros.Part 2: Bataan - Hiring a driver to see the Mount Samat WWII shrine, and staying at this insane heritage resort (Las Casas) that is literally made out of reconstructed 18th-century mansions.Part 3: Iloilo & Bacolod - Taking a quick flight south to see old Spanish fortress churches and "The Ruins" (a massive 1900s mansion that Filipino guerillas burned down in WWII so the Japanese couldn't use it)Would this be good? I don't really like beach stuff a ton. Was probably gonna see if anyone on grindr wants to hang out (but I'm white and trans so not sure how that will go)
Angeles city is a wretched shithole and a shadow of its former self now. Skip it.
>>2903854Haha yeah. Filipinos don't make friends. They act friendly as a pretense to cash in that "friendship" at a future point and turn it into pesos.Filipinos will casually destroy their relationships and friendships for the chance to beg for a couple thousand pesos for some dumb shit. Its a constant cycle for them of being used and using others.
>>2903785Go to Japan for vacation. There is nothing worth seeing in the Philippines.Philippines is a place for cheap sex with teen prostitutes, and that is all its useful or good for. You can also do that in Japan, but there are other things to see and do in that country. Japan has its own history and culture and its interesting and cool. Ph does not have any history/culture except being raped by whoever happened to be in the vicinity.Philippines works as a "home base" in the region and is ok for daily life since everyone speaks English. It is absolutely boring as fuck though, which is fine if you are a boring as fuck shut in and just want delivery pussy and food while you recharge between actual adventure travel.Indonesia (assuming you mean jakarta) is similar but the language barrier is real and huge and shuts you out of a lot of opportunity socially and "socially". It's a lot darker and scummier due to being Muslim, with real sex slavery brothels and some truly horrific behavior by otherwise normal people. Indians and shitbrowns like it a lot because sex slavery is the only way they can get their tips wet and feel in charge. They get denied service elsewhere where being a creepy smelly subhuman is disqualifying.
