It's no wonder bitcointalk has such a spam problem, and from what I've seen most of it comes from just a few countries, and the Philippines is one of them. I've said that before, and I got branded a horrible racist because of it, but it's true.

That's probably because of the language and tone you use. When you call people by derogatory terms (pajeets etc) and refer to them as rats or whatever it's a bit over the top. If you were going to call Africans or Mexicans niggers and spics and refer to them as vermin etc then people would probably quite rightly call you a racist. Yes, the spam from anyone is extremely annoying and it is a huge problem with he amount of Filipinos that are causing it, but we shouldn't tar an entire country with the same brush nor is it necessary to refer to them in such disparaging terms which I don't think helps.

If anyone doesn't believe that people from Philippines are really good at speaking English. I'm pretty sure that Google will give you some result Wink

Or just read this article...
"Well, people will now have to think twice before mocking Filipinos use of the English language since according to a study by GlobalEnglish Corporation, the Philippines was named the worlds best country in business English proficiency, in not just one but two consecutive years. GlobalEnglish releases an annual report called Business English Index (BEI)the only index that measures business English proficiency in the workplace."

Nothing much to say

This obviously isn't the case across the board, but I'm sure people who work in offices have much better linguistic skills than the average unemployed Filipino on the street. If it was then nobody would have an issue with any Filipinos, but it's the ones who come here and churn out barely decipherable mindless drivel when they quite clearly can't speak English that is the problem, or even worse is when they just copy someone else's post because they quite clearly can't speak English. We really should be encouraging these people to stick to their local boards if they struggle with English as that's what they're there for, and there should certainly be punishments for campaigns that accept and pay for these sorts of post. If they couldn't get paid then they wouldn't make them in the first place.

With Manny Pacquiao's fight last month, people from the Philippines were all watching. That was the first time also that we saw a crypto related ads on his fight. Filipinos with knowledge of crypto suddenly became interested of GCOX thinking that this is a legitimate ICO. They are not only bounty hunters, there are also who invest in that ICO because we believe and have trust in Manny Pacquiao. We could see a lot of Filipinos in GCOX bounty and ICO because of Manny.

Would you suck Manny's dick if he told you it was a good idea? Blindly investing in something just because a celebrity endorses it is a good way to lose your money. Manny Pacquiao and many others would advertise anything as long as the money is good enough so I would be careful trusting him or anyone else. Many celebs including Mayweather and Paris Hilton have already backed scams and that's why scammers often use them because it's good promotion and many celebs are happy to advertise anything as long as they get paid to do so.
