develop and become better than his competitors, Filipinos devote so much of their time gossiping
and back-biting. It is their way of deviating people’s attention on their inadequacy by focusing
on other people’s faults.

foreign things like fashion, entertainment, lifestyle, technology, consumer items, and so forth.
This is manifested by the Filipino’s penchant for buying imported goods instead of locally-made
goods.
