Filipinos the nicest people I’ve met
April 14, 2007Below is a comment from a Dubai publication that I wanna share. This is a bit old but here it is anyway:

I read ‘Cool Hand Luke’s’ letter about Filipinos being Dubai’s nicest people and it really struck a cord. I have no idea what Filipino’s do (or eat!) to retain such a sunny disposition while suffering hardship (as many of them do) but they are indeed a truly fantastic bunch of people.
In four years of being in Dubai I think of all the drivers who have cut me up on the roads and none of them have been Filipino. I think of all the people who have tried to rip me off in some way and none of them have been Filipino. I think of all the disgusting people who spit and pick their nose in public and none of them have been Filipino.
Filipinos have a dignity, pride and code of living that they can truly be proud of and which the rest of the world can look up to.
