Filipinos in Singapore:
If you feel bad that there is a brewing anti-Filipino hate-fest going on among an ever-increasing number of Singaporeans, DO NOT RETALIATE and DO NOT direct your anger at Singaporeans.
Singapore is THEIR COUNTRY. We are merely guest-workers here. I hate to say this, but it is - unfortunately - their right to be angry at those of us who misbehave because this is their home, and we are merely their guests. As such, we are supposed to integrate and perhaps even assimilate into their society and not cause any problems.
If you are angry about the brewing anti-Filipino hate-fest, then please DIRECT YOUR ANGER AT THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT and the buffoons who lead it. They are the ones who refuse to change the laws and the anti-progress restrictions in the 1987 Constitution that have directly and indirectly caused economic opportunities to be extremely scarce back home, thus forcing a huge number of us to desperately seek employment overseas and thus flood into countries like Singapore.
Instead of retaliating against online attacks against Filipinos, take screenshots of them (blurring the names in order to protect the identity of the guy posting the hate-message: it is their right to hate on us because WE REALLY ARE ALREADY TOO MANY) and present these screenshots of anti-Filipino hate messages as examples of the repercussions of NOT FIXING THE 1987 Constitution's anti-FDI restrictions. Post them as comments on Philippine Government websites, send them to the e-mail addresses and Facebook pages/accounts of Filipino politicians.
Show these hate-messages as proof that the idiotic "labor-export policy" (and relying on remittances) is not a sustainable way of keeping the Philippine economy afloat and that instead of sending Filipinos to work in foreign countries, how about allowing a huge number of foreign companies to set up shop in the Philippines by removing those anti-FDI restrictions that discourage them from investing in the Philippines?
Fellow Filipinos in Singapore, it is not the fault of Singaporeans or of Singapore as a whole that there is a brewing hate-fest against us. This is partly OUR FAULT. It is the Philippines' fault. It is the fault of Filipino politicians who set up anti-progress laws and constitutional restrictions that have severely limited our economic opportunities back home, and it was because of us Filipinos (or the generations prior to ours) that these politicians came to power and because of us (or perhaps our parents' generation) that the anti-progress 1987 Constitution got ratified and its faulty provisions became the basic law of the land.
Do not blame Singaporeans. Instead, blame the Philippine Government. Blame the 1987 Constitution. And let us BLAME OURSELVES because we Filipinos are ultimately responsible for why the Philippines is the jobs-scarce sick man of Asia that has forced much more than 10% of the entire Philippine population to have to seek economic opportunities abroad. As a "democracy" (some would say "DemoCrazy"), we get the government we deserve. After all, we tolerated the election of an incompetent and inexperienced buffoon in 2010 and he has actively resisted reforming the Constitution and the lousy oligarch-centric economic system.
We must take responsibility for this because the problems of the Philippines are the reason why we have constantly been flooding into Singapore (including insular-minded Filipinos who are unfit to live & work abroad) and as a result have elicited anger among the locals. It is up to us Filipinos in Singapore to right the wrongs that have caused this to happen.
Once again, do not retaliate against Singaporeans.
Direct your anger at the Philippine Government, direct your anger at the 1987 Constitution. Inform, Educate, and Enlighten fellow Filipinos about the root causes for why our society has become pathetically dependent on deploying migrant workers abroad.
And most importantly, please spread the word on the need to CoRRECT™ the 1987 Constitution!
