  1. The chinese filipino were helping to each other in terms of business. While Filipinos are competing each other. Sana magtulongan ang mga Filipino para umunlad ang kabuhayan. Sikap at tiyaga yan ang sikreto sa pag asenso. My late Grandmother was a Filipino Chinese , siya po ay matipid at masipag sa pagnenegosyo.

  3. everything are different between Chinese and Filipino, #1 is the mentality, they save and invest, while Filipino, we never save and we never invest, we always want to be one day millionaire, and that’s crazy doing, we never look to ourselves and we always look other people’s fault or different, that’s not apply to all Filipino because not are lazy and have crab mentality, or tapulan na, makitid pa utak… nice to be true…
