Makes you no less

"Driver LANG" or "MALIIT na sari-sari LANG po or "katulong LANG" "pasensya na po sa konting maiihain namin" or "yan lamang po ang aming nakayanan" or "karpentero LANG po" or "High School lamang po an gaking natapos" and SO ON...

All these are signs of how Filipinos are used to belittling themselves. Somehow, this kind of culture may be traced back to our history where Filipinos were all used to being under foreign controls. We were used to bowing our heads on others or being used by who they say as superior beings. I hate it how we become very considerate of foreigners or give VIP treatments. Some Filipinas with foreign husbands shares that whenever they go to supermarkets or would want to buy something, they let their husbands buy them because they know they will be prioritized! WHATTHE_ _ _ _!Sometimes at the airport, I see how those customs officers just allow blondies entrance at once without checking their baggages! What's the difference between blond and black hair???

Discrimination among social classess is very evident in this country that leads to moral degradation, lack of self-confidence, all sorts of abuses and injustice. The way I see it, jobs are simply classified into blue or white collar, but nobody has ever laid that the blue collar people are less than white collar people. They are ALL NEEDED to make a society fully function. People are interdependent of each other. Bottomline is, we are all HUMANS who has the same needs and deserves EQUAL treatment. If we need to eat at least three times a day and healthy foods, our househelps does too. If we want to be spoken to politely, all other beings does too. What If the househelp or the policeman earned as much as say a hundred thousand bucks a month??? Every living creature has the same needs and deserves proper respect and treatment. Let's not put a price on humanity.
