Are filipinos cheaters in nature?

No. I've dated a filipino and he was 100% loyal to me in the relationship and vice-versa. Again, it comes down to human nature, rather than race. There is always a naughty side.

Taxi drivers "only 500peso sir, its a good deal" (real fare i 80peso)
Policeman "I am trying to help you sir. Just GIVE ME 1000 SO I can help you, Sir. (I didnt do any crime)
Filipino best friend "Ricky may I borrow 500peso" (I thought borrow meant you will return)

What you said to your student is true. However, Filipinos are known to often take the short-cut. Some think that its cheating...though some are happy about this. Filipinos are naturally resourceful...is that cheating?

Very good answer to your student. Cheating - whether in relationships, in card games, or in life (generally speaking) - is not a cultural thing. It is an individual trait. In business, it comes under another name - being shrewd!

No not really they are pretty faithfull to their partners. But ofcourse you will have those that aren't. From what I have experienced alot of the guys there tend to have multiple partners until they find the one worthy of being faithfull where as the girls are pretty much faitfull straight up.

Hmmm... I don't know. To be honest, most Filipino guys I've met are loyal to their wives (even if the wives were the ones doing the cheating) or GFs === Cheating is common anywhere so it doesn't really depends on the race but on the person. Even if the culture is more forgiving to the idea of the man cheating (take Koreans--they have the room ssarong culture) it still depends on the person

In percentage wise, for the most part yes, by a little margin though. The one thing I do notice is my sister works in retail and she tells me that the Filipinos are always asking for a very high discounted deals. It's probably not cheating but being cheap for the most part.

Based on the replies, I think your question is received by Filipinos as relating to boy/girl relationships. To me it addresses a persons overall honesty in dealing with other people, not necessarily in a romantic setting. Are you talking about playing cards or sleeping around?

life is beautiful.

some are cheaters but not all.

i'm not.

maybe compared to their culture, yes....with us, many approve or tolerate cheating just to stay out of trouble, very forgiving if the problem is in their team or family but not if it's on the other.

Yes, but not just Filipinos but also all of mankind.. We are cheaters by nature.. Most do not do it until pushed to a certain extent and need.. Some can hold for a very long time and some do it all the time.. Some though can really be focus.. I think that it just depends on the situation and the amount of level a person can handle..

regardless of the race, there will always be cheaters..

Filipinos are just resilient by nature.

No. They become cheaters by choice and by greed. They also become cheaters when they live and breathe in the same kind of atmosphere; they get tainted or infected with the same evilness.

Tell your Korean students that this same kind of wrongdoing is also present in their own backyard - just like it does in other countries and denizens.

No. Filipinos are honest people except for one filipina that I know.

I would not use the word cheat, but I use the word lier. They tend to lie and hope to get their way thru.

My personal experience, when my helper first came about 3 years ago, she started to lie, especially when she spoil my household items. Lies after lies (which most of them are not logical at all) piled up till she got nowhere to escape. I had a talk to her about lying. I explained to her that if she is to tell me honestly that she broke whatever, don't start thinking of excuses to cover up as I will ask her about the incident again. It is very painful to go to sleep every night, remembering that she has given a excuse. She is all right now.

well all i know is that mainly in thailand all the girls are mostly ladies of the nite and sell themselves...so it must be drum into them at an early age....and they normally cheat everyone out of money by asking for them to send it over to them.....if they do that to everyone they are raking it in aren't they.....i know alot of people that have been thailand and been sucked in by these women so they have been fools like everyone else....still we live we learn, not saying that they are all like it but i would say the percentage is very high.
