I was born in Canada, raised in both the U.S. and the Philippines. Nevertheless, Filipino at heart. I always will support the Philippines and do my part in helping the economy (tankilikin and sariling atin) BUT....I will (and do) expect to be treated with respect as well. PAL employees, from my experience since then, and from what I've heard have always been rude. The last and only time I fly PAL was in 1988.

I see Filipinos overseas that talk down to personnel of Filipino establishments as well, while they afford the greatest tolerance for non-Filipino establishements. ummmm, this goes both ways too though.
