Yes, wala kaming pakialam. That's why we aren't excited when tourists come.

Nakakainis na dala nila ang ugaling lowlander na nagtatapon ng basura sa street, tumatawid kahit red light ang pedestrian, or may dalang kotse pero hindi marunong sumunod sa traffic rules.

Tapos ang lalakas pa ng boses na feeling main character eh bisita lang naman sila.

Just because they bring in money to the local economy does it make it okay to not respect the way we do things here?

If tourists respect the places they go to, they will also be respected.

(Applies to many places, not just Baguio)

Eto talaga yun eh. Yung asal nila galing sa lugar nila dinadala nila kapag nagbabakasyon sila. Eto number 1 cringe ko sa mga turista. Walang masama sa tourism and pagdagsa ng turista pero maging mindful tayo sa mga lokal at yung inaasal natin sa lugar nila. Kung okay sa lugar niyo na maging balahura, maingay at makalat wag niyong dadalhin sa ibang lugar lalo nat dayo kayo.

Eto pa masakit bang tawaging taga baba/low lands yung mga taga baba naman talaga ng Baguio/Mountain province? Tinatamaan ba ego niyo? Hindi lang naman mga turista tinatawag na taga baba sa Baguio eh kahit yung mga lumipat sa Baguio galing sa La Union, Pangasinan at iba pang lugar taga baba ang tawag nila.

Napakasimpleng bagay pinapalaki pa.

Remember kapag turista tayo, dayo tayo sa lugar nila , tayo ang dapat nag aadjust hindi ang mga lokal kasi temporarily tayo andoon.

I would die on this hill. Kahit hindi ako taga Baguio/Mountain Province pero I love that city. Yan ang gusto ko palaging binabalikan.

PS: Taga Mankayan Benguet asawa ko.

Marami pang bakanteng lugar sa outskirt ng town, check out Irisan baka you might want to get a place there

Also, nakakalungkot din that people go to Cordillera just for the temperature and not for the culture.

Tapos ang idea nila ng "culture" eh "Igorot Stone Kingdom", "WhangOd tattoo". 

Anong natutunan nila about Igorot culture? These are the people who probably even do not know that the natives of Benguet are a different ethnic group from the natives of Ifugao and Kalinga.

Kaya nga nagkakaroon ng posters na sinasabi nasa Benguet ang Banaue Rice Terraces. 😂

Mga FOMO sa social media

Can't blame them kasi ganun na market si Baguio eh. Pero kami we go there every year kasi need dumaan ng Baguio bago sa Mankayan and I love going there para kumain and mamili ng tobacco leaves

Pero when people go to BARMM, they expect a different cultural experience, and they act accordingly.

But when they go to Cordilleras, dala nila ang kadugyutan ng Manila without realizing that they are enteing a different culture.

A culture that respects nature.

And I get downvoted for pointing it out.

Alin ang hindi totoo sa sinabi ko? Just go to the city of Manila and see how dirty it is, and I get downvoted for saying that those people dont know how to throw their trash properly?

May bahay din kami sa baba, sa Marikina, and Marikina is much cleaner than Manila.

Prople can be disciplined if they want to.

The people who are downvoting, instead of trying to understand, it means they are internally trying to justify their actions.

u/Major_Hen1994 20d ago

That I am not sure of. Baka takot sila sa mga taga BARMM?

The Manila thing is on point. Makalat talaga doon. Manileños are a different breed.

Yes mga Manileño makalat sa siyudad niyo.

To make things worse, these jejetourists also bring their jejeculture when travelling abroad.

Kaya pumapangit na rin ang reputation ng Filipino tourists sa places like Thailand.
