With these toxic Filipino traits, I agree that we need to change our behaviours its really annoying, and also people saying words like sana all means that one day they will be like others and edi wow is like people just don't care. As a Filipino myself I hope Filipinos can do better

Seems like toxic Filipino culture is a common theme these days. I see a lot of YouTube videos and articles talking about this.

A lot of these issues were things I’ve noticed my entire life as a Filipino American. It’s good that people are noticing it and calling it out. Maybe this is the first step in improving our culture.

Yeah! As a Filipino myself, that's true. I'll add Toxic Positivity, Using religion as an excuse for everything, & Using children as a retirememt plan. Those traits are what I'll never tolerate that. Oh, don't forget the Toxic Seniority.

2. Mendicant attitude – they are constantly begging. Here are examples: (A) While texting with a friend in Manila, I mentioned that I just made a smoothie for breakfast. She asked what brand of blender I have. I said ‘Breville’. I mentioned there’s also a cute, retro brand called SMEG. I just moved to a new house 18 months ago and bought new kitchen appliances. She said: ‘Hurry up and replace your kitchen appliances and give me the old ones. Wow…. I guess with that comment, she also expected me to spend at least $200 or more for shipping, all free of charge to her. She also said that anytime I want to get rid of something (handbags, clothes, shoes, etc), all I need to do is ship her the items. This same friend also would make comments like her daughter is looking for someone to finance her master’s degree. Another example about all the expenses related to get her old car running. In the Philippines, we call this ‘nagpaparinig’. This is, in my viewpoint, a very manipulative way to indirectly ask for money. (B) A Filipina colleague noticed that I was wearing a different ring and not my birthstone ring. She asked if it’s a new ring. When I said yes, she told me to give her the old ring.

3. Parents see their children as an investment and retirement plan.

4. Family treats the successful family member as an ATM machine. There is no gratitude in return or reciprocation. If you don’t live in the same household, you only hear from them when they need to withdraw cash from the ATM.

Obligations to parents from children. Parents will often quit working in their 40s and live off the money their kids make. This takes income away from the children and forces them to put off starting their own lives. I do understand that the parents took care of the kids, but remember, the kids didn’t ask to be brought into this world. That was decided by the parents. And then the parents decided to put this obligation onto the kids. Parents there don’t prepare for their own retirement, they rely on their kids for that. Then those kids do it to their own kids and the cycle continues.
Crab mentality. If someone wants to better themselves, they are made fun, ridiculed, etc. Because its easier to tear someone else down than to actually improve yourself.

Pogi niyo kuya. Naalala ko yung dati kong kaklase sayo. Magkamukha po kasi kayo hehe 😄
Oh btw, idagdag niyo rin ang COLONIAL MENTALITY.

[lalilulelo]

Another toxic Filipino culture/trait is settling for mediocrity. Karamihan ng mga Pinoy ay mahilig sa "pwede na yan" at mababa ang standards.

7. Disdain for the poor and poverty-stricken – Other than the Philippines, nowhere else in the world where I have seen such blatant and public display and disrespect for the poor, even from those that are just a few notches above the poverty-line of the same group they are mocking.
8. Hyprocrites – as devout catholics, they pick and choose which rules apply to them. A poor couple who can’t even feed themselves have 5 children and continue to have more kids. Why? Because it’s god’s will. Abortion is against the church and we can’t afford to buy birth control items. But at the same time, it’s okay to have sex outside of marriage, have affairs and other children outside of marriage, abandon their spouse and children to shack up with another person and start a family with this person, treating people from lesser social-economic status as pariahs, etc.
