Did you know that
- If a particular Chinese-Filipino behaved too virtuous, his workers wish that all of them are like him as they believed their boss is more of like an exception rather than a rule.
- When people are lining up either outside or inside a government office for business approval, either start-up or operational, their familiarity of faces to their approving officer is based on how much they know about the exact figures the officer would ask them just to make the process more liquid.
- Many foreigners already know that the easiest way to get important documents like passport or birth certificate from a government agency is to pay someone working from inside.
- In the Visayan regions, aristocratic and/or traditional Chinese-Filipino’s most usual expression in dealing with their helpers especially with those who have limited education every time they displeased their masters is, “yawa ka man siguro!” (trans: "Are you a devil incarnate?”).
- One foreigner based in Manila who regularly posts to a Filipino website once complained that the most rude of all Filipinos are those born of Chinese descent. The posters consensus was that it was because Chinese-Filipinos rule the Philippines like gods as if thinking to themselves ,‘What are they in wealth for?’.
