kabayan ba ang tawag sa kanila. bakit ang mahal nila ng maningil ng pamasahe sa car lifting, compare to the other nationalities na kung maningil eh ayos lang. Last time, galing ako sa isang Filipino school wherein my kids are studying, i dont have car on that time, imagine i walked under the heat of the sun and waiting for a taxi to lift me, and there are many kabayan that come ang go, but no one dare to offer me to ride in their car. What a surprise, are they what we called KABAYAN....
GRABE!!!!

because that is what i observed to our other kabayan, sana kung mabasa naman ito ng matatamaan, i hope you'll change for the better. "Kabayan" meaning matulungin not mayabang....

kabayan, which filipino school are you from? my kids from PISQ and I usually allow ladies to hitch.. Not all are like that, maybe some of them are just in a rush going to their offices..

I'm not a philiphino, and so did not understand the first part-But as for the part written in english- i'd say- Just for u to know, in doha one can get into problems sometimes just for offering a lift, as the police might take it as private taxi. So if someone doesnt know u , how can they trust u.

Please write your topic thread in ENGLISH as this is the main forum. Kabayan or not, we do follow rules here in the site as there is a FILEXPAT GROUP in this website where you could post your story in Tagalog.
