Hi Everyone!
I'm a new guy here. I'm an American residing in the Philippines (17 years) and go by the handle jfrsmth. I'm conducting a study as part of a PhD Language Studies qualitative research paper on the Taxonomy of Intercultural Communication, with De La Salle University. I am simply trying to gather Westerner thoughts as to your experiences interacting with the Filipino people in the Philippines. I would be interested to read your comments regarding your interactions with Filipino people in the Philippines and what if any, positive or negative comments or observations you can make about the interactions. Please however, no long drawn out stories, but rather simplified comments as to what the situation was and how your experience interacting with Filipinos in the Philippines may have been in-line with, or in conflict with, what you consider to be an ideal interaction from your point of view. Please feel free to share your opinions as well regarding how or why you consider this situation ideal or not. I would also be interested to know how this and or other experiences have shaped your perception of the culture of the Philippines. Screen names only will be utilized for data gathering purposes. This is your opportunity to share your opinions and thoughts with a greater audience and add to the ever-growing body of knowledge in the specific area of intercultural communication and the behavioral sciences in general. Your help and cooperation is very much welcome.
Kind regards, and thanks in advance.
