True as I have also come across many Angmos that "dislike" (hate maybe too strong a word for many I came across) asians because despite how we feel about AC, the asians (mostly Koreans for now, but Japs before them and tomorrow maybe the Chinese as Clark becomes the 2nd biggest airport in Phil.) have spoiled the market for many ex-pats living on a low fix income in AC. Before they were king and can roam anywhere and any bar in AC, today due to prices they are confined to just a few bars that they consider affordable and friendly to them without having to put up with big tips for service. You will know right away when you have found an expat bar when you walk in and they are filled with older men, mostly angmos.
Do I blame them for how they feel? , maybe not as I put myself in their shoes and maybe I would feel like they do--with a "dislike" of how things have changed since the asians arrived. Try to remember as some of you have not been here long enough that AC was once an Angmo only playground, then the Japs arrived and it went downhill for them after that.--just my thoughts only.
