I’ve been joining lots of forums and especially Filipino forums. Seing and posting criticisms are already part of my daily routine,
but theres more than that.
Lately i’ve been seeing Region VS Region topics especially Cebu VS Davao. I even found out that every people would really react to every post that they can see. It’s really a proof that we Filipinos still have Regionalism a.k.a Crab mentality.

Some things i observed at topics like these

• Some Filipinos would really love to compare each regions by their popularity, projects, prosperity, products, hotspots,cleanliness, and even tourists
• Some Filipinos would love to hate each others places when regards to politics
• Some Filipinos love to blame each other
• Some looks down on each other starting a flame war
• Some are desperate for proofs and such
• Some even compare their own languages (which is nonesense)

Final thougts…

Yup, regionalism + crab mentality are a part of us. Well not all though…since our blood are a combination Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, American etc. But ain’t it irony to see that were not united just because we differ in places and languages? No wonder we still haven’t united yet.
