hi neelia, i'm glad you came to this thread. As you apparently are a self-sufficient educated woman, I would like to send this message to you: as a Filipino, you should know that our country has difficult situations, and these ladies you condescend are trying their best to get by. I'm not condoning them, but neither do i have a right to condemn them. be thankful that you are not in the situation as they, that compel them into such act. you have put yourself on a pedestal, sizing them up and then looking down on every other filipina who isn't like you.
some people are forced into situations they would otherwise be. i have the same profile as you, 34, unmarried, completely self-sufficient, well educated. but this has not earned me the right to condescend my fellow filipinas who have (not necessarily ARE) less than what i have, and behave less than what is respectable.
