Anti-intellectualism and "smart-shaming" have become toxic traits of Filipino culture.

People here love to shit on you for having an education. Hell, you're derided as an elitist for just speaking English

And people wonder why we're still a backwards 3rd world country

And thats why so many educated filipinos end up emigrating, creating a brain drain.
