A fine lady from mainland USA. She started out with niceties, and nice things about the Philippines. But she ended up with deep breaths\u2026deep breaths. Was she on yoga?

For one, what we get to experience on a daily basis can be so \u201cnatural\u201d it never occurred to us how irritating can they be in the eyes of an expat. Yes, you heard me right, an expat. But the scenario can be reversed. I remember a friend who was a tough act to follow: He\u2019s a vocalist -frontman of a local band. If you\u2019d see him you\u2019d think he\u2019s a local version of Axl Rose (except Axl\u2019s fat now). The tattoo. The long hair. And wait till you hear him sing. One time he told me his exploits in Singapore. One of the things he stressed was that the street\u2019s so clean outside you\u2019d think you\u2019re in a surreal world when you step out of your door. Wish I could say the same for our country!<\/p>\n<p>Pardon me gentleman, the truth certainly hurts. Allow me to be your messenger for today. Here\u2019s a mouthful: The Top 10 Complaints About the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #10:The Airport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/The-Airport.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1077\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/The-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"The Airport\" width=\"733\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/The-Airport.jpg 733w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/The-Airport-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, right from the landing. It\u2019s a shame how one can arrive and still feel like not being there. Why? The reason: the queue. You\u2019d have to wait your turn. Even if you already have your priority check in and enjoy a diplomatic line with the immigration. The truth: One hour tops is a gross underestimation. And yes, your luggage also becomes infected and shows up late. Now would be a good time to practice the virtue of patience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #9: Urinating in Public<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1078\" style=\"width: 406px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pissing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1078\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1078\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pissing.jpg\" alt=\"http:\/\/uncyclopedia.wikia.com\/wiki\/Philippine_Tourism\" width=\"396\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pissing.jpg 396w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Pissing-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1078\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">http:\/\/uncyclopedia.wikia.com\/wiki\/Philippine_Tourism<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Well, Pinoys perhaps are so proud of their \u201cthingy\u201d they don\u2019t mind putting it in in every hole and wall they can get their hands into. Even in public parks. It\u2019s been done so much I belive it has become an art-form. At least not the ladies. Que horror!<\/p>\n<p>Well on a lighter note at least, it\u2019s not defecating in public. That would certainly be unFilipino. Though I\u2019ve read that\u2019s common thing in India. Pardon Lady Katrina Kaif! Double que horror!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #8: Trash Everywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Trash-Everywhere.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1079\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Trash-Everywhere.jpg\" alt=\"Trash Everywhere\" width=\"658\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Trash-Everywhere.jpg 658w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Trash-Everywhere-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true. We throw our candy wrappers just about everywhere. Even throwing them out from the inside of PUJs. Take a park. Take a side walk. It\u2019s as if we have nannies that follow us around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #7: Flooding Every Time It Rains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Flooding-Every-Time-It-Rains.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1080\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Flooding-Every-Time-It-Rains.jpg\" alt=\"Flooding Every Time It Rains\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Flooding-Every-Time-It-Rains.jpg 600w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Flooding-Every-Time-It-Rains-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not much of a problem in the provinces. But the big cities caught this bug. And guess what? It\u2019s a complicated issue. It\u2019s not just the sewerage. It could be the streets themselves. Right? A street made up of 4 lanes maybe good for a small city but for a metropolitan that\u2019s going to be a major headache.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #6: Service Inefficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Service-Inefficiency.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1081\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Service-Inefficiency.jpg\" alt=\"Service Inefficiency\" width=\"460\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Service-Inefficiency.jpg 460w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Service-Inefficiency-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s the culture of not being upfront. You are made to wait for instance, upon ordering an appetizer or a drink, some colas for your meal. The lady goes: Wait a while, sir! The problem\u2019s you\u2019re dinner\u2019s almost over and you still have to wait a while.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #5: The Poverty<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1082\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beggar-in-manila.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1082\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beggar-in-manila.jpg\" alt=\"http:\/\/www.hobotraveler.com\/2005\/12\/streets-of-manila-photos.html\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beggar-in-manila.jpg 640w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/beggar-in-manila-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">http:\/\/www.hobotraveler.com\/2005\/12\/streets-of-manila-photos.html<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This should be at the top of the list, no doubt. But people has become callous to it, they stop talking about it. You see poor people everywhere, beggars, street vagabonds, drifters. Slum areas. Squatters. Yet, turning a blind eye has become second-nature to many of us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #4: Drugs and High Crime Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drugs-and-High-Crime-Rate.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1083\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drugs-and-High-Crime-Rate.jpg\" alt=\"Drugs and High Crime Rate\" width=\"652\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drugs-and-High-Crime-Rate.jpg 980w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drugs-and-High-Crime-Rate-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The problem of drugs and its close relative is a top complaint. From the cities down to the smallest barangay, every sector of Philippine society has been invaded by drug abuse. Though it has not reach an epidemic proportion like those zombies walking dead. And along with this is a crime rate that is rising. The sad part\u2019s the crimes are getting more gruesome by the day. Just check the dailies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #3:Politics and the Bureacracy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Janet_Lim-Napoles_mugshot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1084\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Janet_Lim-Napoles_mugshot.jpg\" alt=\"Janet_Lim-Napoles_mugshot\" width=\"545\" height=\"725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Janet_Lim-Napoles_mugshot.jpg 545w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Janet_Lim-Napoles_mugshot-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Want to strike a conversation with a stranger? Talk politics and you\u2019ll open up a Pandora\u2019s box: a long list of service ineptitude and a long history of undelivered promises. No biggie. It\u2019s SOP. You want a service done fast. Drop some hundred bills. Wow!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #2:The Drivers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drivers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1085\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drivers.jpg\" alt=\"Drivers\" width=\"600\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drivers.jpg 600w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Drivers-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps there\u2019s something about the steering wheel. We, Filipinos are such a gregarious people, we smile on a whim. But the steering wheel seem to have some dark, dark powers, it transforms drivers into one angry, animal. And it don\u2019t matter if it\u2019s a car\/jeepney\/truck\/bus or tricycle.<\/p>\n<p>How many times do you meet these people? Disgruntled, like a rabid dog waiting to bite. Horrible!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint #1: The Traffic<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1086\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/traffic24.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1086\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1086\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/traffic24.jpg\" alt=\"http:\/\/www.seashipnews.com\/focus_content.php?fid=3w3c13\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/traffic24.jpg 600w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/traffic24-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1086\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">http:\/\/www.seashipnews.com\/focus_content.php?fid=3w3c13<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The expat lady stressed on this. Her first long rant. And she said she\u2019s lucky she lives in Makati. How about that? And that her hubby\u2019s commute home from the embassy is before peak traffic hours. And she\u2019s not alone.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Metro Manila must be a great test of patience and a great lesson in survival. Metro Cebu\u2019s traffic is a close second. How long does your ride take? Going home and going to work? I believe like me you\u2019ve got ways to cope. I pull out my Android and play chess but keep it low profile or risk losing it to \u201cquick hands\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Funny, the slow traffic has a good side. At least you don\u2019t get to have super-serious accidents due to fast cars.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, and that\u2019s about it. That\u2019s all she wrote. A quick look on this A-lister will tell you people complain more on what affects them on a daily basis. That poor expat ended her rant with: It sucks to be right back in frustration less than an hour after landing. I cross-checked some expats too on this one. I mean looked at what they have to say.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t blame her, though. She\u2019s but an eye-opener. Add those that come from us.<\/p>\n<p>Gentlemen and fine, fine ladies, once more we finish our little info t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate. Hope that went down well. If it fell short, drop me your 2 cents, please, in the comments section below. That would be wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, don\u2019t shoot me, I\u2019m just the messenger. Reality is a two-edged sword. Think of this <em>The Matrix<\/em>scenario:<\/p>\n<p>Agent Smith: We&#8217;re willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we&#8217;re asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice.<\/p>\n<p>Neo: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one.
