Fans and followers of actress and beauty queen Pia Wurtzbach can’t help but praise her as she tackled some of the toxic and hustle cultural traits of Filipinos on the latest episode of her online show.
In her Instagram account, Pia shared a glimpse of the latest episode of her online show titled ‘Holding Space’, where she talked about some of the toxic and hustle Filipino culture.
One of the Filipino toxic cultures that Pia and her two guests named Dhanika and JB talked about was ‘utang na luob’. Pia also expressed her honest thoughts and sentiments over the said topic.
“May isa akong naalala na toxic culture ng Filipinos, yung utang na loob, diba? Kasi parang walang kamatayan na utang na loob. Parang kailan ba mababayaran ang utang na iyan? Na parang pag may mabuti kang ginawa sa isa, laging meron inaasahang kapalit.” Pia shared.
The said video that Pia has shared caught the attention of netizens as it went viral. Here are some of the comments from the netizens:
– “I think we should move away from the “utang na loob concept” and normalise “paying it forward” instead. Sometimes rather than foster the attitude of being grateful, it becomes an expectation bordeline obligation which is not really healthy and ideal. ❤️”
– “My late Uncle’s words about this stuck with me, he said “Pag ang utang na loob sinumbat sa’yo bayad na yun”.”
– “💯!!! When a person expects “utang na loob” it means no good deed truly came from their heart”
– “Utang na loob ay hindi binabayaran Utang na loob ay TINATANAW!”
– “It’s indeed toxic! Can’t we just offer help or give someone a favor without expecting something in return? That’s the genuine kindness. Stay away from those people who have the mentality of “What’s in it for me?””
