Ilocano vs Visayas Where most bar girls come from?

[Mykuls Merry Ann 4]

I had a talk with some filipinas and I found out that most of the girls that you see in the bars working as bargirls are usually Visayan. I also now see what they mean. In fact while I was stationed and visit the Phiippines I noticed the U.S. bases are near more people who have Ilocano culture, and that you have to travel very far to Visayas. So most of the girls who leave the province and work as bar girls are usually from Visayas regions. Because Ilocano live so close and interact more with military and foreigners they are more likely to know the good and bad of western culture and how it affects pilipino culture.

It seems also true that most of the Visayan girls try to act like they have more class and culture than their Ilocano counterparts.

But what I see happening is that the Ilocana seems to know more about foreigners (especially military) and the Visayan do not see what they are getting themselves into dealing with American military and all the foreign men who visit the Philippines just to meet poor Asian women. So its probably that the Ilocana has seen the bad experiences that western culture brings to pilipino culture. And they know how some military and foreigners can be. So they are more likely to stay away and try to hold on to their pilipino cultural heritage. But this education is not as good or as strong for the Visayan women. They are more likely to think that meeting an American or a foreigner is a dream lifestyle. Education is needed here.

Which is probably why more Visayan are working in clubs in higher numbers.

How sure are you of the things you are saying? How many Filipinas have you talked to, by the way? bar girls in the Philippines are from all over.

What? It would not take long for anyone to know what any man is really up to.... the grapevine is alive and well among all Pinays no matter where they are from.

Too much a generalization, for sure.

So what is the purpose of creating a thread like this?

Are you trying to understimate Visayan ladies?For what reason?And how sure you are about Visayan ladies?

Well just noting the differences and the diversity of Philippine culture. Thre are many different types and we often put all filipinas in one bucket. But now I see that their is a big difference. Like I am being told mostly the girls in the clubs are Visayan.

[Tahoma 2,291]

Ho hum...yet more sweeping generalizations and prejudices unsupported by any facts.

The only education needed here is yours. I would encourage you, on your next visit to the Philippines, to spend less time sitting in bars. Instead, you could volunteer at an orphanage, or perform community service in a poor barangay. This would be educational indeed.

No, I am not trying to undermine Visayan women...but I have heard these differences more than once. I now I have also witnessed it.

come to think of it, did you mean VISAYAN as the language they use to communicate? or are u referring to an archipelago of visayas... i was born in cebu which makes me a visayan. raised in mindanao and still that makes me a visayan coz i speak a visayan language... ilocano/a (if you're referring to those who live in ilocos?) is only a very small margin when you talk about "visayan" (whatever you mean by that statement), knowing FYI are consisting of visayas and mindanao region. please you cant just start giving statistics where your margin can be compared as day and night... and here u are talking about education is being need in the country... let's start to educate ourselves shall we? and yes i need more education too... thats why im on the computer/internet most of the time (online study lol)...

How does your posting note "the differences and diversity of the Philippine culture" as you say it does? You are the one who is "putting all filipinas in one bucket" by posting your unsupported nonsense. From what I gather, you get your information from the drunks at the clubs where you hang out.

The "big difference" that you "see" is that "mostly the girls in the clubs are Visayan?!?" This is one of your cultural awakenings?!? If I have to explain to you how ridiculous this sounds, then you wouldn't understand.

Using your own powers of logic, I conclude from reading your post that all posters from California are lame-brains who have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. Some "education" in this area is certainly needed immediately.
