Inanod from Manila

We were wasting away time (again!) over kinda cheap & good coffee - unlike those in most coffee shops, EXACT opposite - and we were talking about the day, we all had. Some were amusing, some were boring but one that did stood out was this one.
Here's the first person perspective:
While one of our friend is having his hair cut. Another guy walked in and asked the price of a trim (in Tagalog no less!) well that wasn't really the problem, you should really ought to know the cost of what you're gonna have/do and some of us do still speak in Tagalog (first language is hard to kick out) so that's not it.
So to speed things along, there were small talks, then casual flirting (not us or our friend - but, that's still not it though, they can touch 2nd base for all we care) but what set me off is this part, "taga-Daet ka?" asked the other person and the guy who walked in a few minutes ago replied "hindi ah! sa Manila ako"
What the *&ck! I thought, What's wrong with Daet? Are we being discriminated in our own place? Well, I'm not really even from Daet but I felt insulted - but thankfully, another person had quick wits to much my rising temper.
But that got us talking. How often do we judge people based on their hometown? We mean we're not saints, we do joke around about each others' places but we never take any of the banter seriously. Growing in the city or in the province has little bearing on who a person is or what he becomes.
The Promdi mentality is just stupid! Thank God, there are not that many people like him.

P.S. We'd finish the story (the rest was kinda amusing!) but we thought the point was made. But if anyone wants to know what happened, you gotta treat us to a cup (the kinda cheap & good ones!)
