Misbehaving mainlanders give Chinese Filipinos a bad name – community leaders

The unruly behavior of new immigrants from China has sparked tensions between them and the Chinese Filipino community or “Tsinoys.”

Ang-See is a founder of Kaisa Para sa Kaunlaran, a civic rights group that promotes the integration of ethnic Chinese into the Philippine society. Kaisa believes there are at least 1.3 million ethnic Chinese in the country. The full-page advertisement was published in different Chinese newspapers in Metro Manila on July 11.

“The Filipinos have been very tolerant and very hospitable to us,” Ang-See said. “These [mainlanders] people don’t really know the Filipino culture.” “I’m not saying that all mainland Chinese are bad, and I don’t want to be racist against them. But they are hurting the image of the Filipino Chinese community,” Tan said.Tiu experienced the violent side of discrmination while working on a story in 2018. He was taking photos of a building that housed POGO workers when Filipino security guards mauled him.

“They won’t really ask if you’re born here or if you’re from China. In their eyes, we are all Chinese,” Tiu said.

Is that true or false

This is a very serious concern. Though there are Filipinos who are knowledgeable enough to know the 'big differences' between Chinoys and the mainland Chinese, unfortunately there are who just aren't that learned enough.
