I think reverse migration is the wrong word to say unless you work in Philippine based company and is paid in pesos. But if you are filam/ filcanadian or other filsomething that works for a company based outside of Philippines is not called reverse migration but more like an expat and there’s nothing wrong with calling yourself an expat . Just my 2 cents 😂😂

@runeatexplorer7796 4 ай бұрын

Lol. I don’t understand that either. Okay, I was slightly older than him when I moved to the midwest (by myself). Been here 27 years, most of my friends are white…yet I’m still very very fluent in Tagalog, Bisaya, and Chavacano. I have pinoy friends who moved here in their early teens (13 or 14), and they still speak in Tagalog and Bisaya (and yes, they speak/sound very American when speaking english). Just different mentality I suppose.

I think he's more comfortable speaking English rather than Pilipino because he's surrounded by people speaking English nobody speaking Tagalog. He definitely has an American accent . I can't hear any Pilipino twang.

He was already in Calgary during the oil and gas boom in Alberta. There was a positive chain reaction to other industries. My cousin, who was a welder in Quebec move to Calgary and in 2 years time was able to buy a house right away. Found out that several former Meralco employees who fled during the Marcos regime ended up in Alberta.

He stayed in the Philippines 1year after moving back from Saudi. He basically Grew up in Saudi Arabia. My son would be thesame. Sometimes Filipinos think thesame no matter how they stayed outside longer. The difference with kids growing up outside Philippines is more realistic not negative. Filipino bitter spirit is very obvious really. Do you even know how they communicate at home?

He said when he moved to Canada he didn’t speak English. Pardon me but I find that hard to believe. You attended Mapua for a year. I’m sure they taught English in high school while you were in Saudi Arabia even if you went to a Filipino school because in the Philippines the Medium of instruction is in English.
