@KenC bro years back if you're White they treat you like a king, now its the same with Asian, first with Japanese, then the Koreans and now the Chinese. Its all about economic power, as people gravitate to those who have the MONEYYYY..lol. Try to visit again bro as you'll see huge changes, the local people had its pride back as they develop their livelihood. Peace and order had been attained and the local gov't is not handicap anymore.
No offense bro, what you see is the legacy of the former US bases. The social problem they left behind as the local economy is geared to service those American serviceman. Now its different as Clark airport is being develop as a major clustered hub of regional development, A new North Luzon railway will be finished in 2023 connecting Central Luzon to Metro Manila therefore decongesting it. Right now if you google it Angeles City and San Fernando the adjacent town had the highest growth. In 3 years it will become a logistic hub as another rail project the Subic to Clark railway finance by China will come to operation. You will see a lot of Chinese company establishing business there. With more interaction people learn to co exist and what the Chinese are doing is the right thing.
Bro compare with Thailand you can easily feel at home and fit in cause we can communicate as English is our second language. And bro our transgender is not as beautiful as the Thai, so you will not be deceived ..lol
