Are Filipinas Brainwashed? Toxic Mentality In The Philippines

#philippines #filipino #toxicrelationships
Are Filipinas completely brainwashed? Some of you will definitely make that claim, after trying in vain to get your partner to stop obsessing over supporting her parents, or to stop worrying what the neighbors think of your relationship. We have a lot of toxic mentality in the Philippines, and our social habits can be hard to break - but we Filipinas sure can use your guidance!

When I went to Philippines to get engaged to my Filipina we invited her family to a rib/steak dinner near our hotel (since they don't have that) was the first time I met her family. There was no 'crab mentality' and both her parents loved me. Her Papa was very shy we did not speak much (I wish we had). A few months later he passed away. We did not know till then how much he thought of me and his daughter with our relationship. When people came to see him (after his death) they kept saying how he bragged about his daughter and me being 'married' and how proud he was. When I see him again we will have a long talk. God bless you Papa 😇

One of the most toxic things in Filipino culture is the act of giving away all your money to the family.
How is a person supposed to save money and stack wealth? That may explain why the country is so poor.

[chipparmley]

A friend in Manilla is telling her children that she does NOT expect them to support her. She had to start working small jobs when she was young to help the family, and hated it. She has a good job now, and is encouraging them to do what they want in life.

I wish all these ladies success in life

Just love the “Pea on the streets” interviews, thank you.

[zyohjkj]

Nice topic. It's so encouraging to see the Filipina saying the same things I've been saying myself. Yes, it validates my observations that so many western men chastise me for. But, more importantly, it shows that the comming generation of Filipino leaders is recognizing the issues. That means there is hope that their generation might be able to improve the culture. And that gives me hope for my own children's future. No culture anywhere in the world has ever risen from poverty to wealth with a "give me" attitude. Every culture that has taken an "I'll do it" attitude has risen.

That status driven crab mentality survives moving to another country. When I divorced my Pinoy ex, and she moved out of my large house and lost her business, most of her so called "friends" dropped her like a hot brick once her status in their eyes had gone down. Quite an ugly trait unfortunately.

It wasn't until halfway into your interview with her that I realized that's Jasmine from your Pretty Filipinas video! She darkened her hair since then and I think it looks fantastic. Congratulations to her on getting her teaching license! She seems like such a sweetheart that I am sure she will be wonderful with the kids

[kranzonguam]

You're really good at interviewing! Getting a person to open up isn't easy, but you make it look simple!
Take good care, Pea!😊

This video shines a spotlight on the deeply ingrained toxic mentalities in Filipino culture, offering a sobering look at how these attitudes shape individual lives. For instance, the "crab mentality" is not just a phrase but a daily reality where success is often met with envy rather than support, as seen when a newly licensed teacher faced skepticism from her neighbors. The pressure to conform to parental expectations, like being pushed into a high-paying but unfulfilling medical career, highlights the struggle between personal dreams and societal obligations. It's fascinating yet troubling to see how these mentalities, such as "utang na loob" (debt of gratitude), can lock individuals into a cycle of self-sacrifice, ultimately stifling personal growth and happiness. The video challenges us to rethink these cultural norms and consider how they might hold back individuals and society.

Thanks Pea ! You seem to be very honest and a nice lady. Tried to tell people the truth about everything to the best you can.❤

My grandparents went through the Great Depression back in the 1930s. They were tenant farmers and very poor. Children giving their earnings (at least in part) to their parents was not uncommon and often expected.

[christopherblaisdel]

As an American, I cannot imagine trying to instill in my child that he must work and give the money he earns to me.

[TraditionalAnglican]

I don’t think people understand how understand just how expensive it is to live in some areas in the USA - $100, 000 (about 5, 882, 353 PP) - It pays for rent, transportation, food, insurance and not much else.

Pea is the BEST. I get a great Friday and a great video to go with it! The day doesn't get better than this! Great job, Pea!

[deebea]

Sometimes our best and worst traits can be very closely tied together, and sometimes it’s all about the framing… I think one of the worst things is when Filipinos undervalue the Philippines and feel like it’s not as good as other places and countries… once my friend started to travel they actually appreciated the Philippines a lot more, and decided to travel around their own country more - there are problems everywhere in the world, and beauty everywhere as well :) it’s tough seeing people who have worked hard, and studied, and got great qualifications stuck in jobs where they only earn a few dollars a day 🥺

Still the best channel on You Tube!
...and always let the ads play

[benlaw]

Fantastic video Pea! Loved the interviews! My many years of experience with more than a few Filipinas, i learned that family comes first . I have know lots of Filipinas who were working and would tell me they were saving money for something, only to tell me later that they had to give their money to family for their needs . It is a vicious cycle, they refuse to break . Thanks again! Happy weekend! 😊💝🙏

I loved helping my parents out, but never want to be a burden to my son.

[damiennebateman]

Its about the balance between family values and personal pathways. Family is everything, keep in mind the previous generations did not have as many opportunities to succeed. Making their personal sacrifices even more greater.
