observation lang - why pinoys are good abroad

One of our client from the US visited one of our teams (Im in I.T. by the way) trying to see what services we offer and how he can sell it in the US. We had one of the senior engineer assist me in answering the queries, actually that person is to answer all the persons and I was just to help facilitate it like a GRO, tagaabot ng kape. Anyway I think the Senior engineer did a splendid job but what suprised me was that a few weeks ago, this same guy did a mock presentation of the same stuff and he didnt do so well. Baka nagpractice ? baka less pressure since he was in his work place as opposed to the mock interview where he presented in a conference room? IT got me thinking... how about this theory.. di kaya connected ang pagiging foreigner ng pinepresentan nya ? We always are very friendly and hospitable to guests pero more so to foreigners for some reason. Baka sa ayaw natin mapahiya sa other races, we go the extra mile. So mga tao sa abroad mas productive, mas masipag and mas mababait. Or instead of "ayaw mapahiya" it also helps that foreigners specially those in 1st world countries are intolerable to some of our 3rd world attitude so we are forced to comply and dahil di tayo lulusot , ambabaet at ang sisipag ng mga pinoy sa abroad. Sa abroad kasi wala rin yung ibang usual suspects stuff that help more or less cultivate some of our negative culture, walang tricycle, walang katulong, wala rin ang parents mo na kahit 40 ka na eh nakikitira ka pa rin at hihingan mo ng pera, walang masisising government na "eh bakit ako susunod eh sila nga hindi" , wala or mas konti yung mga taong pwede mo na lang daan sa pakiusap,..oops nagiging rantings tong blog na to..parang tumalon ako ng topic. Siguro for us here in the country who mingle with foreigners we always want to show how good we are, tapos for those outside the country we dont have a choice so we cant show how bad we are. I'm not generalizing pero para umiksi lang ang blog eh ganito namuna.
