Regionalism
Katulong, mangkukulam, kuripot, matapang, mayabang... the sounds of regionalism which is in fact, a form of "local racism" as each province calls the other with certain traits hindi ba? 7,100 scattered islands is reason enough for our being regionalistic as locals become tribally divided.
Pati ang pagiging regionalistic nakarating na rin sa abroad. Sa Canada at US ang daming kanya kanyang association mga kapangpangan, bisaya, ilokano, etc. Pero wala akong nakitang isang unified na "Filipino Association" period. Bakit ba kailangan mag hiwalay ang bawat probinsya kung pwede naman nating pag-samahin? Dito naman pag may nakilalang Pinoy, ang tanong "anong probinsya mo?" hoping na sana bisaya ito o ilokano etc etc. Ewan ko pero sana we can wake up one day & see each other as one unified Pinoy maski anong probinsya man ang ating pang-galingan. Madalas kasi pag nag attend ako ng gathering, they outcast each other dahil hindi sila mag ka probinsya.
Buti na lang meron FilEx. Isang grupo ng Pinoy na walang regional boundaries o exclusivity. Pinoys unite!
