Yeah, I didn't get either at first. Probably because in the US you can drive to any area with a big Mexican or Chinese population and get real Mexican or Chinese food, so there's no real disconnect between "my country's version" and "the authentic version"; they're kind of just seen as two different things. And yes, Jollibee's literally doesn't exist outside of the really shitty parts of town and is primarily eaten by Filipinos. It's also kind of weird because there aren't that many non-fast food Filipino restaurants.

Jollibee in America (and Canada too if you even care about us) is because of all the filipino migrants coming over to work shitty jobs to send money back home, they all flock over to the closest Jollibee as their sanctuary to enjoy an authentic flip experience while being around other flips, I've seen it in person when the local mall in my area had a new Jollibee open up in it and every single person ordering food and sitting around eating were all asian people with noticeable tan/dark skin, which means flips or SEA in general

I'm genuinely curious, what happens when migrant Flips gather in first-world urban areas, far from their home country (like the US, Canada, Europe, etc).
Do they form crime-ridden ghettos like "some" well known members of our international community? Or are they just a friendly face, keeping to themselves peacefully, speaking English exclusively, and MAYBE trying to actually fit in and belong to the country they invaded?
Just wondering, because I have never heard of Americans panicking when a Flip moves in next door. Should I panic? I need some stereotypes so I can train my AI about Flips.

>Flippy food
>Rice - Everything. Is Eaten. With Rice. *everything*
>Vinegar. Vinegar is used IN EVERYTHING. Vinegar, Garlic, and Black Peppercorn are the holy trinity (soy sauce, fish sauce, bayleaf honorable mention)
>Bagnet - boiled then dried then crispy fried pork belly seasoned with garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt. It is eaten with rice.
>Silog - portmanteau of sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (fried egg). Literally what it says on the tin. Usually served at breakfast. Often paired with another meat or sauce that gets added to the name, like a short order call out. Ex. Tapsilog (most common), which is tapa (dried or cured beef, pork, mutton, venison or horse meat), sinagag, and Itlog. There are specialty breakfast places that'll serve just variations of this called Tapsi. If they try to serve you plain boiled rice or plain rice with garlic flakes over it (sinaing) then they are JEWS trying to rip you off, Sinangag specifically refers to rice fried with garlic
>Lumpia - yes the same papery crepe springroll that's on your chinese takeout menu. This is part of the problem of flip dishes, Phillipines have been migrated, invaded, and or colonized by literally everyone. Lumpia came to Phillipines from southern chinese immigrants in 900-1500 ad
>Adobo - meat and vegetables simmered & browned in a flavorful sauce. Phillipine adobo sprang up independent of Spanish Adobo and uses different ingredients - specifically Vinegar (especially important), Bayleaf, Black Peppercorn, and Soy Sauce. Adobo in Phillipines also tends to refer to the cooking process, rather than a specific dish - so you can have anything adobo'd, as long as that would taste good cooked in vinegar and served with garlic fried rice
>Daing - Fish (usually milk fish) dried, maybe salted, then marinated in garlick vinegar and fried.

the pattern is vinegar and garlic. It's probably native if it has that instead of tomato or pepper

>I need some stereotypes so I can train my AI about Flips.
most stereotypes that apply to asian immigrants are usually also applied to flips, being SEAmonkeys. The extra wrinkle is added by the spanish empire, so they also get spaniard stereotypes in the mix
ex.
>Flips are accused of eating dogs (this ones not actually true)
>Flips are chronically late
>Flips are unskilled laborers
>Flips are really loud in groups
>Flips like Karaoke way too much (see above)
>Flips will name their kids retarded things like Girly, Honey, Boy, Uno, Junior, Blue, Princess, Queeny, Sweet, Lovely, Sweet-Rose, Virgie, Baby
>Flips are hyper religious
>Flip men are lotharios who cheat constantly, drink, gamble, and generally are degenerate
>Women are a weird mix of chingchong (soulless tiny assed gold digger) or tradcath spanish wife (just without the ass, which is an understandable dealbreaker...) who gets pregnant like falling off a log, lots of single moms
>basically midgets but really love basketball
Not sure how that one got in there Phillipines never had a black population AFAIK but there you are

The real story is the phlips never had a real unified culture, they were a bunch of autonomous regions and tribes who got swapped by various imperial rulers. Kind of like a reverse United States, or an easy asian Sicily-
>Small (both geographically and the people)

This is because, like Mexicans, they can send a portion of that income they make at what we would consider a low paying job home and help support their extended family.

Flips don't really steal or trash the world around them, just their own lives (while singing really loud)

Not Italian, but you have to understand their mentality. They’re very jealous and bitter people. Their country suffered major setbacks after getting their asses handed to them in WW2, their nation was in ruins after this and they were extremely poor and poverty fuelled, and so since then they’ve always been in the shadow of the other bigger and more influential western nations, like France, the UK and even their former allies the Germans. Not to mention the increasing influence of America and other nations of the world. Italy just became irrelevant. Even today they have slums in Italy still that are full of extreme poverty.

So after this, all they had left of influence was their food. It was the only thing they had left to be prideful of and so they can’t stand to see other nations take what they see as theirs and change it or make it better. They’re hanging into their last shred of dignity and relevance by playing ignorant, shouting and screaming if someone dares to cook “their” food. Of course the reality being it isn’t their food anymore and that Italian food in Italy has gone backwards, suffering from their years of poverty and that the evolution of their food has continued in much richer nations, America for instance has way better Italian food nowadays than Italy. You can also find better Italian food in France, which is the thing they hate the most. The fact that French food became the dominant force in gastronomy really gets to them. It’s sad, but that’s how it is.

like any other immigtant community we tend to stick to close for support and to find room mates who happen to be a distant relation. because we have a decent tertiary education system geared toward medicine, you'll find a lot of flips in nurse positions. most first world countries tend to have nurse shortages as it's not exactly a glamourous job but for us it's a ticket out. nurse pay has been going up so we tend to stick to cities. also we're better than jamaican nurses.

i'm the son of an immigrant couple, and i don't like filipinos for most of the reasons this anon has said:>>18756980. i disagree on a few things, we do have a real culture unfortunately it's pretty shit. and the reason we like basketball is because we're americanized as fuck right down to shitty rap music, basketball hats with the stickers on them, adopting negro bling bling consumerism.

as for jollibees everything sucks except the fried chicken which btfo US popeyes and kfc. that's mainly why we managed to expand to US, the main competition is weak as fuck. also we're racist and we dont tolerate black crack addicts harrassing our customers. so you can come to jollibees without fear of that, and also a 5/10 short brown cashier girl will call you sir and thank you for your patronage. we also keep it strictly business and dont do shit like "oh its anon want the usual?" unless you're married to the cashier's cousin or something.

yes and it's the FOB as fuck flilps. i dont like them, and luckily my family is not so obnoxiois. but they're still loud and ignorant. in my middle school there were flip twin girls and not loud, i crushed on them super hard especially the tomboy of the pair (when i peaked under her skirt she had black shorts on which really irked me)

i cant stand filipino neighbors, so i live far away from my flip community. but that's because i dont want them pestering me, if you're not flip they usually wont bother you. if they bother you and are bad neighbors then treat them as any bad neighbor and call the police. flips are mostly aftaid of cops.

you'll quickly find out the real negatives if you go to the philippines. which you should because the USD has a very favorable FOREX rate, most everyone speaks english, and we've got big malls that are nice and air-conditioned as well as nice beaches. if you're adventurous you can go around the lesser subdivisions, i think. i havent been back since dutuerte was pres i heard bad shit about curfews and police being more awful than usual.
