$500k only? Nery, is this a discrimination of show business against Filipinos?
haha yea! the movie hook was awesome. but i’m a bigger fan of the movie debut. There isnt many movies about filipino culture so i like to support any in the american mainstream. here’s actaully a funny semi episode on youtube i saw last year where he was talking about asain american disadvantages, he also cuck some other guy and made generalizations against asian yuppies:
sad that he isnt doing major roles as he obviously has talent. anyways there is definitely discrimination against filipinos and even asians in general! not sure why though! and I dont actually care! if i had to guess, its prolly cuz only 1% of the country is filipino. so for the most part you will have 0 appeal to most americans.
anyways there are also plenty of rich filipinos ballers:
herny sy died with 18b in family wealth. 10b of which was under his name. it’ll be split between 6 children and 10 grandchildren.
also important to note, henry sy isnt really filipino. he was born in china and his wife is also of chinese descent.
my rich aunt is actually neighbors with him in his vacation home in tagaytay highlands. place reminds me of the us, very cool weather with dense fog, amazing infrastructure, and great amentities, lastly there isnt any poor people!
There is a whole upper class of rich Chinese Filipinos. Basically, it is the same in all countries in that region. These guys literally came over to those countries 80 years ago on boats.
How can they guess someone has that amount of money? I bet some posters on here have that much just sitting in the 401k and no one other then they would know
lol no one here has a billion. only 1 out of every million people is a billionaire. china’s comeback in the last 50 years is truly amazing. but it is important to note that the chinese were number 1 for most of history. 1 could even argue that they were larger than rome’s power just not heavily advertised.
india was a powerhouse as well. but for some reason, they havent been able to get their groove back. very sad!
