Oh cheers mate, I don't think I have those rep buttons showing, probably because of low post count.

Funny thing is, I first asked her > "Hi where did you come from?" (as in how did you get in front of me all of the sudden ) and I sounded like I was genuinely interested which western country she came from, like I was impress the way she is dressed and talked on the phone... then only to tell her to get back of the queue.

I guess it's not just happening there. Whenever I see women who are walking with their foreign partners here they will look at me from head to toe and make me feel like I am inferior and it's worse when I am with my fiance but who do they think they are? I am pretty sure that they only got their arrogance when their foreign partner started to support them. So what I do is to roll my eyes back to them, duh? they're barking at the wrong tree.

What you can do is just to ignore them, you cannot do anything about those people who are lacking in education and manners.

The thing I've noticed with Filipinas is regarding manners, they always say thank you, but never say please!

[grahamw48]

Just cultural differences I'm sure Michael.

They make up for it in so many other ways though.

Hi Rick....you have the star symbol next to the warning triangle. Click over the star and that will give you the option

Keep posting mate

[malditako]

they are probably here in uk for a long time that seeing a fellow filipino is already normal to them so not bother to chat anymore

[grahamw48]

Good point. Also, I believe sometimes Thai ladies and Filipinas are not sure whether or not they are from the same country, so hesitate to speak.

Here in the Borders there's not many Pinoys and Pinays

So whenever I will see same profile as me I give my smile instantly, I only know 2 Pinays w/in the area and 1 Pinoy at work.

The immense infiltration is beyond our comprehension

Since 1989 never come across Filipina ignoring one another in any public place they all seem to want to chat to each other, just wish we could see some locally in order to approach them because Maritess just looks like any other Brit apart from her cute little flat nose!

Is it just me? Or has anyone else (Filipinas) experienced being ignored or worse, avoided by fellow Filipino when you see them on the streets, malls, shops, etc.?

My Dad used to work in Israel for 10 years and he said that the Filipinos there have a solid community and help each other out. They even go to outings and festivals. So far in my 4 years (nearly 5) here in England, I have not met a "friendly" Filipino/Filipina stranger yet. All the ones I see in the streets would either avert their eyes or pretend they did not see you. Worse was when me and my husband went to a Filipino restaurant, everyone there looked us up in an uncomfortable way. We just happen to belong to different races but we are normal people too!

Other awkward moments includes when they keep trying to speak in English while talking to me when I can clearly tell they are Filipinos because of the accent. Sometimes I would speak Filipino (Tagalog) first to break the ice but they would still carry on speaking English that's why I gave up by now. I don't smile or try to establish any connections anymore. I know not everyone is a snob but so far the ones I happen to bump into are.

You're not the only one love. I have experienced that as well and it breaks my heart because we are in a foreign country and we should be one and yet they don't care. I then learned that they experienced the same as what I am experiencing so I couldn't blame them at all.

Best to do is give a look if they look back and smile first then you smile and if they talk english to you, keep talking in Tagalog. That's what I do anyway.

Don't worry, there are more people around that deserves your friendship. Don't waste it to someone that doesn't deserve it. Keep chin up!
