A cross-cultural discussion at Sepia Mutiny, sparked by results from a BBC World poll that showed that the Philippines, among 33 countries, had the most negative impression of India.

I don’t think it’s right to call it hate, it’s more of indifference. Just because a person is not on your list of favorite people it doesn’t mean you hate them right?

Not True. We Filipinos do not hate Indians. We’re all the same. We’re all human beings. Maybe we do not like them but it does not mean we hate them. Hate is different. Indians may not like Filipinos as well but that does not mean they hate Filipinos.
Why does the Philippines dislike India? Only one bold reason JEALOUS.!!!!! Everyone knows that worked with Philippine citizens.
That title ” why filipinos hate indians” came from a JEALOUS indian. He likes to create an impression that filipinos are jealous of them but in fact he is the one who is jealous.
Search the net and you would find nothing about BBC poll about FILIPINOS hating INDIANS.
Do not believe without investigating first.
