As the Buddah says, disappointment is caused by expectations.
And hatred is caused by lack of understanding.
As the saying goes, there is the way things are, and the way they ought to be, but all that matters is how things are.
The harsh reality is Filipinos see things differently then Westerners.
And the reality is the majority of them like living in a hypocritical, racist, semi-feudal society. Otherwise they would change how they live.
You are the racist one for thinking Filipinos should have the same values as Westerners.
Along a similar line is the book about Thailand called 'Private Dancer'. Because the book was called 'racist' etc. No publisher would publish the book. The author eventually self published it. Eventually when it got published in print the first place it was published was Thailand.

Foreigners are always baffled, how come my household help do not steal from me, are not lazy, are never late etc. But when I tell them how to get shit done in the Philippines. The foreigners call me racist. They are the racist ones, they expect the Philippines to run according to western ways.
