People who are born in the Philippines are called Filipinos. Several million Filipinos live and work abroad. Many Filipinos write for myLot. What is your opinion about Filipinos in general? Do you have any Filipino friends?

I'm also a Filipino with a big heart and mostly of my friends are Filipinos too. Filipinos are caring, hospitable and hardworking people.

@sol_cee Not at all friend, if we are poor we can be also hospitable, right? We can let our room use by our visitors and we only sleep outside our room, ha, ha.

Hospitality means letting the guests use the most expensive and most precious table wares or sleep in their own beds.

What can I say. We are smart and witty. I've asked some foreign people the same question and they told me the Filipinos are the most hard working people they've ever met.

@sol_cee I guess there's no such thing when Filipinos are working abroad. We try to blend in and do much better.

When I lived in Hawaii I was a Tupperware dealer and met two sisters (Filipinos) who married two brothers (Filipinos also). I became friends with them and even was invited to the baby shower of one sister. We got along fine..of course once I left Hawaii we lost touch.

@sol_cee - Hello Sol - Answering your questions - (1) having worked with some Filipino techies, I found them to be proficient in speaking their own language and that of mine, as well. They were extremely intelligent, and also very good-looking, much like me. (2) I call them my friends to the point where I am still trying to learn the Filipino language, "Tagalog." They speak that language downright nicely, as I would like to do myself. When I say something to them using words in Tagalog, they mostly answer with "Paumanhin po" (which is "excuse me...) I keep trying to think what they have done that needs to be excused...

@sol_cee - Sol - Oo ("yes") whereas "hindi" would have been "no." See, those are two Filipino (Tagalog) words that I learned. I am quite partial to the "oo." both for its spelling and for its meaning. Imagine how things would go for me if I used that word in answering questions from my bride... "Would you please let me have 20 bucks so that I can do a bit of shopping today?" Answer: "Oo." "How about $100? Will you break loose with $100?" Answer: " "
