It's alarming to read/see posts from my friend about Local Singaporeans racist remarks generally on all Filipinos (OFWs & Tourists.)
This is an FB post from my female friend who currently works in S.G.

But then...
I did a little more research and ended up in this forum (screenshot):

Can't blame that local SG guy since he got poked by those keychains. That OFW/Tourist pulling off a Pinoy-MRT style charging in wouldn't be much appreciated by anyone especially by the local SGs and even here in the Philippines.
But saluting him for pushing down a "scum" Filipino? Hmmm...

Some of you must have read this :

Filipino infestation in Singapore-5 point guide to showing displeasure without breaking the law
Yes the Filipinos have long overstayed their welcome,and they must be advised in no less clearer terms that we are growing intolerant of their presence. Then again, let's do this through largely "peaceful", non criminal means. We recommend pissing them off in the following ways:
1. Reject, and ask for replacement
If you encounter a Pinoy waiter/waitress or customer service officer, tell them this: " Could you kindly ask a Singaporean staff to speak to me? Your standard of English-there is much left to be desired." If the idiot continues rambling on, tell him/her with a smile:" Your English sucks, capisce? Get the fall out of my uncaring face and find me someone else pronto."
2. Step on 'em, push or shove'em
When the Peenoise get rowdy or obviously do not observe basic social decorum, a little "nudge" in the right direction won't harm. Just make it look accidental. Pump your fist in victory later when they are out of your sight. We understand sometimes they just don't get it, so a little more force must be employed. Like what this unsung hero did: This morning at Bishan Circle Line MRT I pushed a Pinoy out of the train before door closes.
3. Create an artistic mess on your plate when dining at Jolibee
Or any other Filipino themed restaurant/ food outlet. Toss food into your mouth, chew thoroughly, then spit it out. Bite another morsel and repeat. Do this till your plate is a masterpiece of regurgitated nastiness. Ask for the bill (pay in cash), scribble "Pinoy food falling tastes like shit" on the receipt and remember to leave that piece of paper behind.
4. Never render help when Filipinos are involved in serious traffic accidents
Stand on the side with your arms folded across your chest, peering curiously at the bloody setpiece. Do not call the ambulance. But you have our permission to take photographs so they can be tweeted later with the caption: Hopefully another Pinoy has breathed his last on the little red dot. RIP.NOT.
5. Pray for a flood of blibical proportions to descend upon Orchard Road on 8 June
Go to the nearest church and pray. Pray hard for divine intervention aloud. Make sure God (and the Pinoy sitting next to you on the same bench) hears every word.
There will be no Noah's Ark to save the partying Filipino motherfallers when hell breaks loose, because Noah sure ain't Pinoy when we last checked. Let's watch them drown whilst eating popcorn on our HD TVs.
Edit: The event to celebrate Pinoy National Day has been called off. Glory to Jesus ! A-falling-MEN!
6. ( bonus point) Actually this is our favourite. If you see a Pinoy cashier at NTUC, Cold Storage or Giant, throw a can of Baygon into your shopping before approaching him/her to make payment. When the cashier picks up the insecticide spray ready to do a barcode scan, ask him/her wryly: " Is this effective against Filipinos? Sorry, I meant cockroaches. "

Meanwhile...
British man defends Filipinos against racist blog, writes Singapore PM a letter
An open letter to the Prime Minister of Singapore,
Dear Sir,
I never dreamt for one moment that I would ever feel the need to write another letter to anybody in Singapore about racism, In fact I am very reluctant to do so.
However as a British man living in the UK married to a filipina, I believe it is my absolute duty to challenge any form of racism or discrimination directed towards the Filipino people.
Earlier this morning, my attention was drawn to a blog currently circulating the internet, it appears to take the form of a 5-point guide to instruct the Singaporean people on how to show displeasure at the ‘Filipino infestation’ the author believes is happening right now in your country.
Sir, I have never been to Singapore, I am not aware of the culture of the country and to be honest, as this is the second example of blatant racism coming out of your country which I have encountered, I would not wish to really do so.
Having visited the Philippines on more than thirty occasions and being married to a Filipina, as well as working with Filipinos and engaging with them for over twenty years, I believe I am qualified to give my opinion. The overwhelming majority of the Filipino people are a hardworking, caring, friendly, happy people who wish no harm to any other people or nation.
I am sure you are aware that there are an estimated ten million OFW’s or Overseas Filipino Workers around the world. These workers are employed in the caring sector as nurses, doctors, healthcare workers, radiologists and the list goes on. In customer facing roles in hotels, airports, the airline industry. As engineers, pilots, cabin crew as well as in many other professions worldwide.
I note this grave concern that this blogger seems to want to drive Filipino’s out of your country through this campaign of hate. I am not aware of the laws on discrimination in Singapore, however I do not believe that blogs like this give the Singaporean people a good image, I seek your further reassurance that the Filipino people are not subject to any form of discrimination whilst working in your country.
Thank you Sir for taking the time to read this letter.
Best regards
Malcolm Conlan
Cheers Malcom Conlan! -Ozy.

Dami nang mga ganto vs. Pinoy. Di na natin dapat pinagpapapansin mga to. Madami pa din makikitid utak sa buong mundo.

nabasa ko lately ang ibang mga articles about singaporian racists. it makes my blood boil in some I saw but some make me feel angry sa iba nating mga kababayan. if you heard or read about recent filipinos who wanted to celebrate philippine independence day sa singapore eh para sakin eh sobra naman ata yun dahil unang una ay ibang bansa yun at di nila kikilalanin ang ganung okasyon.

Recently may mga nag circulate na news or articles na maids for sale na Malaysians and Pinay.

well as expected.... masyado na lumaki ang ulo ng singaporean dahil sa natatanggap nilang positive remarks sa country nila..
pero may problem din siguro ang mga pinoys na nasasangkot sa racism. we have to act dignified in what they are doing para matameme ang mga nanliliit sa atin...

hindi nmn ramdam yung racism sa singapore...siguro ung iilang mga tao o mga blogger lng nagkakalat nyan...pero totoo yang mga nangyayari sa mrt na yan..

Dito nga kapwa natin tinatawag na egoy pag maiitim. Pag mukhang chimay naman matik bisaya agad... o di kaya yung matigas ang dila agad lalaitin. Pero more of verbal racism lang... yung sa SG siguro parehas sa mga pinoy na inggit sa mga chekwa sa divisoria na nagmamay ari ng mga stall... may mga kotse at yumayaman samantalang ang mga pinoy ginagawang alila... insecure lang yan siguro dahil nakikita nilang napupunta sa iba ang trabaho.
