is Korea Overtaking Philippines?

hiya, I'm korean and I know that most koreans enjoy seeing different countries and have a natural curiosity for experiencing new countries and cultures, that could explain all the restaurants popping up. That and also the korean people like to give things back... we live your culture, and we will share ours with you kind of thing. Anyways most koreans I know think very highly of Philippines and I don't think they want to take over anything. It is because they want to learn the english language... see phonetically the Phillipines accent in the english language is probably alot easier for korean people to pronounce and gain confidence quicker. I know in korea they used to learn English with and American accent but now learning english in the Australian accent is common.... hope this clarifies some things, atleast from a cultural point of view.

No, I don't think so. They're going there to vacation, study, and work/live. It's a beautiful place, many people speak English there, and cost of living is cheap compared to some other places. What's wrong with that? Has some Koreans there been bothering you? Then deal with them in a civilized manner. You alone can't really do much about an influx of people coming into such a beautiful country. gluck

I notice a rise in Phillipine music. I think P-Pop will do just fine. I do not want to say one will take over the other. Asian music should all be embraced rather than compete against each other. What I can say is that due to The Phillipines being mixed with Spanish, they would have a better and easier time attracting non-Asian artists. It's racist, but that's how other countries are towards Asians.

No. but I heard many koreans saying they enjoyed their holiday/studying/place in the phillipines but some complain that they wished there were korean shops there. So I think they are just building places in Phllippines for money because they know it is going to be popular.

Definitely no.

It's true that there are lots of Koreans here in Manila.

1 reason why they're coming here is to study. (I remember when i was in college, lots of Koreans were enrolled in my school.)

2nd reason is... I know that our DOT (dept. of tourism) promotes beautiful places here and encourage Koreans to travel and to visit our country. Good thing that lots of Koreans like our place so they come here.

i think these are some reasons why Koreans living in here put up a business (korean food and stuff) to fill-in their needs.

** haven't seen a korean hotels here... hmmmm????

It would seem that way everywhere, but no, probably not. Koreans are in huge numbers everywhere. I think there are more Koreans living overseas than in Korea itself!

Hindi lang po sa Pilipinas silang pumupunta para mag-aral ng Ingles. Pumupunta din po sila sa New Zealand, Singapore, Estados Unidos, atbp. mga bansa para mag-aral ng ingles.

영어공부하기 위해 필리핀에만 가지 않아요~~

뉴질랜드, 싱가포르, 등 다른 나라에도 가는데...

하지만 그중에 필리핀이 제일 싸니까 많이도 가는 듯 합니다...ㅎ

I'm thinking the exact same thing...and to top it off if koreans are trying to learn the english lang. in the Phils. how come FIlipinos aren't allowed to work in Korea? Go figure!

definitely not
