I came across
this blog today, and think you might enjoy it. It's written by an American-born Filipino who has come here to live and work (apparently, he runs a business). He is quite frustrated, to say the least, and says he blogs to let off steam:
After the culture shock adjustment, I’ve decided to remain here and continue with business despite the frustrations. I’m not unhappy here at all. And this blog helps me vent the frustrations I deal with daily in this country.
The purpose of this blog is partially for my own personal therapy and venting my frustrations. Many of the comments by readers completely agree and identify with my posts. This blog is just one of many which express the same frustrations and opinions.
I really don’t believe this blog will help native Filipinos. I have come to the conclusion they are helpless because on the most part, they are completely shut down and closed off to real progress or change. On the same note, I am certain it won’t hurt them any more or less than they hurt themselves every day with their crab mentality, hypocrisy, and senseless thirst for revenge against each other for even petty little bullshit things.
They do not listen or care about criticism of any kind. So this blog is not necessarily here for the native Filipino.This blog is primarily here for ME and those from outside of Philippines who must live here or stay here long term and are as frustrated and as mind-boggled as I am about the level of idiocy, stupidity, and absence of logic and reason in Philippines.
It is therapeutic to release the anger and frustrations of having to live here. This blog also serves as informative to foreigners looking to come here. They need to know what they’re getting themselves into, and what to expect in order to make an informed decision. Foreigners be warned. What you will experience here will shock and confuse you!
Language warning: Don't go there if a bit of raw language will offend you. The guy is letting off steam.
not in Busay, we deside to have a vacation in cebu,we stayed in hotel for days, nice view, have fresh air, visiting our friends we did not meet for year, to our disappointment from the time we arrived we were subject to non stop music we closed the windows and doors but we still heard it, it doesn't sound as music just a sound the base boom,boom,boom it never stop.the 3 days we stayed at Marco polo was the worst 3 days we have spent anywhere in the Philippines, Marco Polo was nice and the service was great but the noise is unbearable.
ReplyDeleteThe Filipino fail blog is simply the stone cold truth.
ReplyDeleteAs of August 9th, Philippinefailblog is gone and dead for the 4th time. Will there be another resurrection? Who knows! Come over to https://philippinefails.blogspot.com in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteis there a facebook group for it. I miss it. also please make your blog comments open to anonymous. can t comment on your post.
DeleteOMG Philippinefails you're a lifesaver! I am really wondering too why PFB is dead again.
ReplyDeleteI miss PFB Please bring it back!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really sucks this site is off dammit. People were sharing stories and sometimes IT WAS SO FUNNY!! There were some sad stories too. I remember, once a there's a man who has posted a blog about his adventure trying to find a ''decent'' school elementary school for his son in the Philippines. He went in many schools before picking a ''right one''. He subscribed his son to the less bad of the 10 schools he has visited and the teacher scammed him. When it was time to pay for the books, the teachers told him that the price has suddenly increased of $100. This is exactly why I think that PhilippinesFailBlog MUST TO STAY OPENED AND ACTIVE!! Maybe I'm naive but I believe that a site like this can improve things AT LEAST a little bit. No need to mention that most Filipinos are very weak emotionally and can't face the truth. They prefer to live in a world of lies with Duterte and all these ridiculous sects they have in this country and all these grotesque television shows where they promote people with the right color of skin and the right shape of nose. I would not be surprised that PFB because it has been hacked by a little prick who thinks he can simply erase the truth.

DeleteAnd living in the world of lies, they are indeed.
DeleteLook at these copious amounts of false news. Including the defeat of Pacquiao by the fists of Jeff Horn.

MOST of these Dutertards & Marcostards HATE IT. In response, most of these tech savvy dimwits created COPYCATS very similar to this - VERY HEAVILY FAVORING DU30 ass-kissing, sourcing ONLY DU30 ass-kissing "journalists".
MANY IGNORANT FILIPINOS DONT WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT THEIR ILLUSIONS DESTROYED. WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES. STOP WATCHING TV AND DO SOME RESEARCH.
ReplyDeleteHey Citylights,
ReplyDeleteWhat the hells going on it seems like everyday I hear the cutting of tiles with the grinder outside the building, How can anyone with a half of a brain think it's ok to cut tiles that a hundred units can hear, thanks a lot made my unit impossible to sell
Of course they don't care about you, look at the loud music coming from the outside of the building, and your right my unit can't sell too been trying to for 2 years
DeleteMy rent contract is now over at city lights, thank God I did not buy the noise from the house's down below ( light materials) are obviously drug abusers they play music at a volume that make you crazy, you have to close all your doors and windows and you can still hear the party down below, imagine living in the troppics with all your doors and windows close
ReplyDeleteI just read your post had the same problem at city lights I try to talked to the management let me tell you thier is something very wrong at citylights the manager seem to take joy in my complaint, talking to other people I found that citylights is known for management problems the place in my opinion is not foreigner friendly, cant wait to move bad place
DeleteI live at city lights and I can't agree more, did you know that the manager you talked to is like the 10th manager in citylights.
DeleteI am an employee at citylights, I am happy to have a job, " I don't understand you at all" I watched you cheat the unit owners, I watch you take money from my husband as he was hired as a contructor at citylights, but now you even take away our drinking water, I hope I can find another job and I hope you go to hell.
