In the 70s, way before the invasion of Filipino maids, you only get to see Filipinos in the hotels performing as band boys and singers. Nowadays, everywhere you go sure to see them.
A succinct and astute indictment of Pinoy Pride, from a commenter on the website:
"Functional cultures have pride based on actual success and accomplishments. Filipino culture has pride that is based almost exclusively on just being Filipino. This is why the Filipino standard is so low. When they have that much pride in just being Filipino, they have no incentive to reach a higher standard. These people actually believe they already are the best in the world."
