I'm always with my Filipino friends and they are really very nice, what is happening here is ...
It is not that you are been ignored or something, it happened to me here as well.
A Filipino guy was waiting for a taxi and while it was around 12:00 and very hot near Villagio ... I stopped the car asking him if he needs a ride, but he was not looking at me while I was very close to him then he started asking what? what?
Then I used Tagalog to speak to him, then he answered me and said that he is waiting for his friend to pick him up.
Some of them are new here in the country and based on the others opinions who spent here 2 or 3 years ... It is always a good thing not communicate with others as their intentions are not clear. Some bad experiences that some had here and pass it to the new comers and you can't blame them for that because it is really happening.
I know that some would say, they can simply say no I don't know or whatever, but ... to some that is all what they need ... a reply from you to open a conversation that only god knows where would it end ... That is why some would prefer to do that and just say nothing at all to be in the safe side ...
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
