Let's not blame other countries if they think our country sucks

Without Manny Pacquiao, our country's only saving grace, the bad perception of the foreigners will continue. This is based on my experience with my recent trip in Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia.

The PAL flight PR 508 is composed of ugly bitches and primadonas of PAL. These people looked like very disgusted in their work. Apparently, they are already sick and tired of what they've been doing for the past several years of their life. They'll be beaten by the Vietnamese airline crew in terms of service and attentiveness (to the ones who pay their salary --- we the "lowly" passengers"), who despite of their language barrier and difficulty in speaking impeccable English, their smile and indefatibale service are so evident. Unlike these fucking bitches of flight PR 508 who were just all hiding in their nook, gossiping and ignoring the OFW and other Filipino passengers but giving all out plastic smile and service to the foreigners who call their attention to serve them. It really sucks, right?

Tang ina nyo, you're just fucking "glorified muchahas" (and muchahos) with all due respect to my bossom friend and "kapatid" Ari Verzosa and his wife Raquel, whose sincerity are very evident the way they deal with people from all walks of life. I really wonder what make these flight crew of PR 508 think that they're demigods the way they delivered their service. Is it because the plane we rode was bigger than that of the flight I took last April 24? Lousy excuse huh!

My fight from Manila to Singapore last April 24 was really good. The flight crew were very attentive, going around, offering drinks and making sure all their passengers' needs are attended to. In my observation, the only time they took time to stay in their nook was when the passengers need and concerns were attended. They really took time in going around, offering drinks, blankets etc. But the flight crew in PR 508, they all ran away and hid to their nook after serving the food and collecting the waste. But when they were promoting their "inflight sales", they were so energetic and all smile, hoping that they can fool their passenger to buy from them!
I overheard one of the foreigners said, this flight sucks. The crew are very slow. At times, you cannot even find them!

I will never forget my flight from Tokyo (Nagoya) to Manila, last Oct. 31, 2002. It made my blood boil more than 100 degree celcius because of the arrogrance of one of the bitches from the PAL crew. Some of the OFWs (or maybe she looked down upon them as "Japayukis") and felt that they did not deserve any respect --- even an iota of respect at all! Anyway, the group of Filipinas were all excited in going home, laughing and even teasing each other. They maybe loud and annoying, sure, but what was not accptable to me was when I heard this bitch shouted at them and said, "Shhhhh wag nga kayong maingay dyan!"

The gull! When I heard that, I stood up and confronted her. I told her, "You know what, there's a right way for you to stop them. What you did was totally wrong and unacceptable to me. They are the reason why you are here --- they (and me and other passengers) pay for your salary and other perks. If you don't like what they are doing, you should have approached them discretely instead of shouting at them and traeted them like kids and embarrassed them in the presence of other people.
In fairness, that bitch apologized to me. But I told her, "don't apologize to me, apologize to these Filipinas that you embarrassed."

This is the reason why I never liked PAL. Sarili mong mga kababayan idedescriminate ka. I prefer to take Air France, Canadian Airlines, Cathay, Singapore Air and other airlines who treat their passengers (regardless of race) with utmost respect.

Originally, my airline going to Singapore and Vietnam (vice versa) was booked with Singapore Airlines. However, only my flight from Singapore to Hanoi, Hanoi to Singapore and Sinagpore to Manila was confirmed. But since it was PAL who had available flights without any hassle, I took PAL and dropped Singapore Airlines. But I really regret it. On my flight to US this June, I will not book in PAL anymore, I don't wanna experience their lousy service even if PAL brags that they are "Asia's first". Remember, not all first will remain in the position especially if you become complacent.

My agony didn't end there. When we arrived at immigration, LO AND BEHOLD! only one immigration officer was there! Tang ina, lahat sila sabay-sbay nag break. Nakakahiya talaga! Imagine ang bubungad sayo pag dating mo ng bansa, immigration, tapos pag dating mo walang laman ang mga booth kundi isa immigration officer lang! Calling Nonoy Libanan.... Please check this incident. The mice are playing when the cat is away. The sad part there is, I heard again the foreigners murmuring about what they saw. Now, do you expect that we will get a good feedback from other countries if this is what they will see and experience? NEVER!

Eto pa ang mga comments ng ibang mga pasahero:
" Pangit na nga ang service sa eroplano panget pa din sa gobyerno!"
"Yan ba ang pinapasweldo natin..."
"Ano ba yan, di man lang inisip na may mga padating na pasahero..."
"Ibang klase din ha, nagbreak sabay-sabay..."

With these ugly incidents, saan ka pa? May tatalo pa ba sa Pilipinas? May mga pulpol tayong mga pulis, mga politikong gago at magnanakaw, panget at bastos na flight crew ng PR 508, sus ginoo, di nga tayo aasenso. Worst, pag pinuna mo sila, tang na, balat sibuyas ang mga hayup.

Please, let's stop being "onion-skinned". Let's not blame other countries if they think our country sucks! It's our own undoing after all!
