What do you personally think is the most toxic Filipino trait? 🤔

I feel like I'm witnessing the toxicity in Filipino culture on the comment section

This is what gives me hope in our younger generations...Even in other countries, teenagers can SEE what problems need to be fixed in our societies rather than fall pray to the same mentality as what our parents taught us. Each generation learns from the ones before. It's okay to think "outside the box" because that's where ALL the best ideas are found! :) Love and Light!! :)

re: comparing children with other children. this one really made a great impact on me negatively growing up. You are getting compared to someone that has a different environment, starting point, and even support may it be financial or emotional support. I started to rebel and started to compare my parents and siblings to others (well not verbally). Like why is it only I that is getting compared? You raised me and wanted me to excel at stuff since other people excel at it. But when I started to try and even pursue what I wanted or what I was good at, all I got were words of discouragement since it was an additional expense or I should spend my time doing chores since they were busy working. Like I don't know anymore. I know what I should do but it's hard when the family, including relatives, tells you there's no use in trying or that you can't make it since a, b, c, etc... is way better than you.

I like this topics so much and it's very important to be talked about. I'm glad the current generation is more aware and open-minded to fix it and hopefully in the coming years we would be able to change or break the toxic culture in our country

for me these kinds of toxic cultures that discussed in your vlog is a way for individual filipino to manage his/her temper for different situation like those. and we may say that the best culture of us being Filipino is seeing best things in every bad situations.😊

We can succeed. But what happens is that older gens is whats hindering us from being successful :(

There is smart shaming in the US too. The expression "so, you think you're better than me?!" get tossed around a lot.

This is such an underrated video it should reach more people specially mga oldies and thunders

I totally get the whole utang na loob thing. My mom has always treated me as the black sheep, and now she’s asking me to repay her for everything she bought for me as a baby. She’s also demanding that I take care of her when she’s older, but she’s always yelling at me. I told her, sarcastically, that if she wants me to help her when she’s old, she should start being nicer to me.

The crab mentality “trait” reminded me of the teaching re: the 7 Deadly Sins & their “remedies”. It is an old teaching. I see the main root of crab mentality as envy & insecurity/lack of self esteem or confidence. Oversimplified, but I think it applies a lot of the time. The traditional remedy that was taught in my day to combat envy was 2-fold: 1-gratitude for one’s blessings & 2-ability to admire & appreciate others’ talents & gifts. I don’t know if envy is more prevalent in Philippine culture, I don’t have the data or experience to have a strong opinion, but envy is universal & we will never eradicate it. Maybe we can lessen its prevalence, but people have to recognize the fault in themselves & be motivated to change. & even recognizing it in our selves is difficult sometimes, even when one has dealt with it over long lives. I think all we can do is teach our children what envy is & how it can lead us to wish to tear others down, it is comforting; but that there are more efficient & satisfying comforts. & also try to teach them the 2 remedies of recognizing their own blessings & how to appreciate & admire others (preferably admire their good actions & traits & blessings; not just their looks or riches - but those aren’t bad they are blessings too-just not the ONLY blessings). Like the song lyrics: 🎶🎵”teach your children well”& keep striving one’s self

Lack of discipline is worst. Let us all be disciplined just like the Singaporeans.

Toxic Filipino culture list 1.) Nanguutang hindi nagbabayad. 2.) mga marites 3.) inggitero at inggitera 4.) utang na loob or yung mindset na “if i give you something, you have to give something back” 5.) bodyshaming 6.) shaming someone for their sexuality; making snide jokes kapag LGBT ka. 7.) “anak lang kita” / “kung hindi dahil sa akin” 8.) Lateness 9.) mayabang; handang mamulubi, maka lifestyle lang 10.) colonial mentality 11.) parasite / umaasa na lang sa tulong nang iba, hindi tinutulugan ang sarili. And more… Im not generalising. These are just some of the themes/behaviours Ive seen/experienced from some people

The body shaming needs to end, honestly! Beauty comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors.

Also, that comparison toxic. Ang hirap talaga kpg lumaki ka sa mga magulang na hindi alam paano i-encourage at i-motivate yung mga anak nila na hindi sila kinokompare sa ibang tao. Nung nag-early adulthood na ako, I compare them to others to show them how it feels when someone does the same to you. Ang nararamdaman ko nung madalas akong i-compare sa ibang tao ko noon, is puro tampo, galit, kawalang ganang magseryoso sa pagaaral, lalong nad-downgrade, nawawalan rumespeto, nakakaumay.

I'm not sure or maybe I just didn't notice before? But as far as I know, there's no 'cancel culture' before. But since, most people nowadays are on social media. And people heard that there was a int'l celeb most probably in SoKor, the filipinos adapt it too. Its like they think it is good when someone against to their stand or did something against their belief.

Also new toxic trait: Lying, sugar coating Fat it fat.

It is a generational curse in a way. People goes to church and do not obey the commandments the reason why it is toxic. Gossip is a sin, meddling with ither personal business is a sin etc. etc. Jealousy, envy, arrogance are all sins.

As someone who grew up hearing this, I disdain the comments for sure. But now I've become a tita (just around 30s), I catch myself saying this to the younger kids and close friends and fam. Although brutal, I find it more unempathetic to not point out and listen to their issues. We even sharing diet programs now. 😂 Truth is better than coddling to emotions.

Filipino Time is the worst of the worst! Let us all practice punctuality just like the Americans, Canadians, Australians, British and Japanese.

I commend your use of the English Language. Wow, just wow.

When I'm with a relative, other Filipinos tend to regard me like I'm 12yrs old ( I'm currently in my mid 40s ) 🙄. Maybe that's just towards me?

I agree to them kc since i was young the older people keep saying Utang na Loob all the time even a small thing na binjgay for a several yrs ago nasa isip parin nila un , Kahit ako tumulong sa sister i did not ask anything na makatangap ng kapalit its up to them tutal alam nman nila mga naitulong ko sa kanila thats all God knows i help them

A good to us even it is toxic Culture we are aware on that culture sometimes it is for them to get better and talking to this it's making funny topic when if you are open minded what are you going to do when it comes to disaster? Are you going sad because you did not do anything? Be a happy person think positive compare on negative there's always an answer in every problem. For me the toxic Culture of Pilipino When they using Social media you can't do wrong in social media you will get meme and famous in the internet you can't make mistake in social media 🤣🤣🤣

Those toxicity they mentioned it happened to the world.

toxic ang mga magulang na asa lang sa mga anak ang responsibility na dapat sa kanila nila. toxic yong pagiging taismosa at pag sira ng kapwa.

I don't get the one who correlated crab mentality to his political belief "that he paints the other side the evil ones, that the other side doesn't want the country to succeed". No matter the political belief of a person whether you perceive it as right or wrong, at it's core he/she wants a better country. Toxic trait: Too politically bias that people tend to forget to be kind and understand the other people's view whether it's right or wrong in their perception. Anyway I'm not gonna reply to any replies on this post cause it's just gonna create toxic discussions.

Using your children as investment

One toxic Filipino habit is mahilig kumain at matakaw. Every meal is more than 1 rice. Then may meryenda pa, and snacks in-between meals. Kung ayaw ma-body shame, wag kasi masyado matakaw. It's for your own good anyway. Eating too much leads to obesity, high blood pressure, heart attack, cancer, etc.

kabataan ngayon ang tatapang and gustong labanan ang mga magulang pero 18+ na nakatira pa din sa parents nila. D kayang tumayo sa sariling paa. Pero kung umasta as if sila ang nagpalaki sa parents nila. 😂 Pang load lang dpa kayang bilhin at hingi sa magulang

Basta ang gusto ko kdrama hahaha..lahat ng bansa may toxic depende na lang yan kung masyadong dibdibin ng tao tapos ipinpoint nila kung saang bansa pinakatoxic😁

i guess non of these guys experience siga culture yet and the latest riding in tandem culture.

Littering in public like they have a personal maid following them around cleaning up their mess. Seriously the poor people there are making a case for themselves on why they remain poor.

Wow, very observant. I am from the old generation and I am guilty. But kudos to you all. The one I really don't like is the" utang na loob forever" especially from your relatives. The worst is vote buying and crab mentality.

Hindi masama ang fat shaming kasi para sa kalusugan mo rin yun at para motivation na wag magpataba at maging healthy. Ang ibang asian countries rin ay ginagawa yun especially Korea at Japan.

Are Filipinos asian or Pacific Islander 🤔 please ask filipinos in the philippines 😏 48% Filipinos American born and raised in US claim they are pacific islander 😂

im sorry but honest question.no shaming ( hard to believe) in this video do u think the people that said body shaming , are they fat or slim? huy tumaba ka or u gained weight is body shaming? if yun naman talaga napansin nila? and every gathering naririnig mo pala and yet wala ka naman ginawa eh kasi ano ok din sayo na ganon sitwasyon mo

😂😂😂 bakit ba sasabihin na sexy ka kahit hindi .this generation of young onece are hypocrite. 😂😂😂 lol

One more thing..sa akin..mag anak ka na!! Matanda ka na! Nakaka offend pero masya lang ang life. Bahala sila diii sakyan ko na lang..hahahaha

Crab mentality and utang na loob.

Simp & toxic feminisms⚠️😒

🤡🤡🤡

body shaming b ang sabihan n tumaba ka???????????????? paano kung totoo naman??????????paano dapat sibihin yun..................

Man, I feel like I need therapy after watching this. I feel vindicated because the younger generations are pointing out these toxic traits. I'm Gen X and I have to say I ALWAYS thought it was me. I was never smart, pretty, rich, good enough. I currently refuse to go to family get-togethers because they were all a pissing contest of who makes the most and who is the prettiest. Now that I have my own kids I refuse to accept that toxic mentality for my kids. If my family or relatives call my kids fat I will make sure you know that is not appropriate. Respect be damned. If you can't respect me or my kids don't expect that I will respect you just because you're older. Respect is ageless. I have always been the black sheep because I choose to live in a world of kindness and acceptance. I don't care if you are black, white, or Asian. I don't care if you're gay or straight. I don't care if you are homeless, rich or poor. I care if you are kind. The irony of all this toxic Filipino culture is that every Filipino I know is very religious. They go to church every Sunday and they pray yet their hearts are filled with evil. I am proud of these young kids speaking out and recognizing what is toxic and I hope and pray that they have the strength to not let it drag them down.
