  1. I used to work in Japanese multinational company, and I have this Japanese boss who was so busy in front of his computer. When I went to his direction to get something, I glanced at his laptop's monitor and he was just playing solitaire. He was just pretending to do some work trying to look busy, and I think this is the case for most salaryman. Pretend to work even if work is done just so you can please your boss, and your colleagues won't think your lazy.

  2. I'm from the Philippines and while it's true that our population is increasing, but it's also true that the expected projection falls short year after year. It may not mean anything right now, but with economic hardships, political concerns, natural calamities and all sorts social issues most middle class couples are thinking really hard about having babies. "In 2020, the tune was changing. The PopCom reported that the Philippines recorded its lowest number of births in 34 years, with only 1,516,042 registered births. This was accompanied by a 13-percent decrease in the number of adolescent births, the sharpest decline since 2003."

  3. Here's Japan again getting ahead with everybody.

  4. Exactly we're a little westernized here in the Philippines and we express ourselves here to the point that it may upset other people. Not to mention our tendency to be individualistic. Also sarcasm is normal to us.

  5. If this channel is from that "other Japanese guy" he would be saying, "if you want to date Japanese I will teach you the type of Japanese that real life Japanese people speak which is kinda different from the Japanese text book and apps teach you because they can be unnatural and outdated."

  8. Actually, call centers this days hire less. Before they would hire 1000 seats for an agent but today because of the rise of AI they hire a little over a hundred. Even my position as an analyst have seen a drop in job availability. Actually, even an AI can replace me and my boss actually admitted that to us. In fact, they are now developing an AI that can do our task. But, it is still in it's infancy stage so I am still safe for now.

  12. When I'm in the train station I am always mindful with the sign like the ones that says this side of the stairs is going up and the other going down. Also, I make sure I walk really fast on the stairs because behind me is a person who wants to catch his or her train. Even women on heels walk really fast. Also, inside the train, I always give my seat to an old lady or a student.

  13. Here in the Philippines, generally speaking kids while growing are not allowed to swear until they are old enough to do so. Our local swear are just as sexual as the English and Spanish words. Some people swear here casually not because they are angry but they wanted to emphasis on what they are saying. Of curse, some swear because they are angry and frustrated - it could be the English swear words or the local ones which basically means the same thing. But, that is not to say that swearing is allowed all the time. You have to know who is in front of you I mean we are not going to curse someone from our family, senior citizens or anybody higher than you. Some actually cringe here when we hear our politicians or celebrities swear on TV.

  43. Here in the Philippines, the mentality is also the same go to Manila and study in the top Universities and Colleges. In fact, the media will give so much emphasis on the entrace ecamination of the country's top state university - how many took the examination or how many will eventually enroll once he or she pass the ecam etc. Also, we have centers here to prepare you how to pass the tough examinations of the universities.

  56. Here in the Philippines gun ownership is legal and yes we do have problems with loose firearms. It used to be that we can only own automatic hand guns but because of an executive by then President Erap we can now own high powered assault riffles. In fact, our incumbent president completely pardoned an actor who was once convicted of illegal possesion of firearm. Extra judicial killings, robbery and other gun related crimes are caused by loose firearms or by people who are licensed gun owners but lost their cool during altercations. Not as bad in the US but still very bad.

But, for someone who is a native of one of the country he mentioned it's kind of amusing to say the least because it's really not that cheap. Our taxes alone is one of the highest in Southeast Asia.

  65. There is one solution to all of this: National Broadband. Now to be fair the DICT the government agency handling internet connectivity has been doing their best to collect as much money to build one. We need at least 78 billion pesos to connect the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

  80. Ma'am the prison here in the Philippines is already over crowded. Legalization of marijuana did not pan out in the previous presidents. More so under our current president where his top cop seems to enjoy the attention media is giving to him every time he burns hidden marijuana plantation. A former actor is already languishing in jail for possesion of dried marijuana leaves.

  83. Quotable quotes: Ridiculous. In two-weeks I haven't seen a woman look like that. (He stopped short in using the word plastic surgery.) So, many couples but still no children, ha. Really? Who wants to eternalize themselves with plastic (a padlock drops) that's not very sustainable. You're giving me a fork to eat ramen, that's racist.

  86. In my case, it's how hard it is to enter Japan when you're not on the list of countries exempted for a visa-free visit. When you are coming from a developing country Japan is not as cheap as for someone coming from say, North America, Western Europe etc.

  87. I think Grant Hill made him change his mind because of that Duke connection.
    1
  88. Ok, I am not Japanese but it would seem inevitable not to invite foreign workers with low birth rate and all of that other stuff. But, like what I always say just screen those people coming from other countries so that Japan can filter the good ones from the bad ones. You can start by requiring these workers to speak fluent Nihongo - no fluency, no entry. I am confident enough your government can implement this.

  93. Here in the Philippines we are direct as well with describing people like "your fat or thin or your nose is flat or you are short" whatever adjective.We don't really mean that as an insult so people being told by those words I mentioned above takes no offense. Besides most households here don't have disposible incomes for a plastic surgery.

  94. Why would they do that when they have not even made a state out of their territories like Puerto Rico, Guam etc.
