filipinos are 'weird'. always have found them to be so... based
on those whom i've met (who are not maids in Singapore)
either culturally they are somehow very different as compared to
majority of the world (that i know of) when dealing with the issue
of death, or they are just fucked up.
maybe to them, death is just like...marriage/birth. something to
celebrate. i do know of groups of pple who 'celebrate' death
(party, drink, feast, rejoice, etc)...but i've never heard of that
being the norm in the philippines...
they are probably the most "drama" people I know, even more than
the indians. Very "emotional" .....
i guess the difference is that if you argue with an indian,
you'll be there for hours. If you argue with a pinoy things would
get physical within 3 minutes.
