Victim mentality as a cultural value or virtue
This is very true. This is a screenshot from this Reddit post [1] .
As for the first photo, yes, this is a very common occurrence among these monkeys: victim mentality. Compared to the decent people living in the rural areas, poverty has corrupted their culture in the cities. Ever wonder why generational poverty prevailed in the Philippines? It's a cultural trait to be fatalist in the country, thus rather than assert their rights they'd accept that they are bullied by their politicians, thus comes poverty. They are always the victim, and would rather twist the story to make it so even when clearly they are the wrong.
From a culture bred from criminality, whose values include falsehoods, mendicancy, incompetence and indolence, how low are your expectations from them? For example, in the second photo, the kid is clearly the criminal — most likely a Badjao, since these people are considered as pests by the majority — no one did anything to help the American.
I know expats are ridiculed online, and I too will do, but this one takes the cake.
