I mean what do they think of the foreigners? Do they think that these are really bad people? I am talking about Filipino society as a whole. How do Filipinos view these white people that are visiting their country? Are those smiles that they flash at the foreigners fake smiles? Is their kindness put on?

What are your suggestions for learning tagalog, I can get the gist of what they are saying, but I am not certain. Can't really speak it either
Thanks Po!
