"Surely not specific for Filipino's.
I can name many other countries I've been, where you can find that same 'attitude'.
They simply are different from us (I'm Dutch ).
The British .......yes, they have a good tradition regarding saying "thank you, please, you're welcome ....( and "are you being served sir " )".
Good examples of sometimes even an over polite behaviour.
The "famous" British hooligans don't practise that however .
I don't judge those countries on not saying these words.
Why should I ? Do they have to be the same as we are ?
As long as they don't harm me or get me furious, I'm fine with them."

I like your attitude, Jellyfish, because you respect other cultures and don't resort to "Filipino-bashing".
