Love the Philippines... Hate Korea?

I received this email. I would like to just point out the idea:
 
Love the Philippines.
 
Original Message Follows:
=====================
How much do we love the Philippines?
 
As you know, we have plenty of Koreans currently studying in the Philippines to take advantage of our cheaper tuition fees and learn English at the same time.
 
This is an essay of a Filipino...
 
My short essay about the Philippines ......and Koreans...
 
Filipinos always complain about corruption in the Philippines. I think we should also complain about Koreans. They have always taken advantage of every race in this part of Asia and now they also want to rape our country another way.
 
Let me first talk about the second world war. according to my Lolo and Lola, the Japanese were the officers and the Koreans were the enlisted men. During the liberation of Los Baños, the Koreans burned houses in Bayan. They shot and killed everyone in sight and they even burned to death a mother and her child. It was the same in Manila, they threw babies in the air and used bayonets to "catch" them. When the 2nd War ended, no Asian pitied the cruel Koreans. No one wanted to help a race that was so wicked and deceptive (they claimed to be Japanese).
 
Koreans used to talk about the Philippines. They wanted our Natural resources because they were greedy.They wanted to take others property without using their own.
 
Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos had a very rich culture. They envied Filipinos because their women looked like cod fish. They wanted to rape us again! They did it during the war and they are doing it again to us . They take advantage of our cheap tuition and clog up our schools thus depriving other Filipinos of the right to study in their own country.Their patriotism is so distorted that they think they have the right to bully other races because they were used by the Japanese and that the world owes them their freedom.
 
40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea. He tried to borrow (many) money from other countries, but it was not possible to get a loan because he did not want the interest rates. So, president Park sent many mine workers and nurses to Germany. They had to go through a horrible experience. The mine workers went to work in the mines and the nurses went to work in the Hospitals. Today, there are many factories in Korea and in the Philippines. In our country, they give the workers less than the minimum wage. One factory in Laguna employs 1000+ Filipinos with a P200 per day wage at 12 hours. At least they can save on the Labor cost and bring the profits to their beloved homeland.
 
In 1964, president Park visited Germany on a business class ticket. Hundreds of Koreans went on mass leave just to see him cry. Everyone shouted at the same time the same question " President. when can we be well off?". So Park borrowed money.
 
My parents always brought me to the places where the poor and physically handicapped people live.  I don't remember were that place is now but I remember Korean students doing their research work there. But I remember my hometown Los Baños were a Korean courted a lass from Bay. The Korean   courted under false pretenses (He said he was not married). The lass is now a mother and the Korean who worked in IRRI is of course missing.
 
Have you cried for the Philippines? I have not because there is really nothing to cry about. I am not filled with the conscience of my forefathers killing babies. There are many poor Filipinos but our family values are still intact. I am not like a Korean who has no culture graces, no social ethics, no table manners ...
 
I have been to the New Bilibid prison. Yes there are many prisoners there also. They don't like the Philippines and neither do they like the police who put them there... but wait, they hate their victims also. What I mean by they are the two prisoners I talked to. One is a drug pusher, the other killed someone. They said they will go to Korea once they escaped.
 
When we went to Pagsanjan , we saw many boatmen. That was their livelihood. They were thin because they were thin. My parents said they will not ride a boat anymore, even if there was water in the Pagsanjan creeks that led to the waterfall.
 
It changes the world. "Please love your neighbor" advised a Korean to my friend. "There is a god for people who are abused and abandoned and there is a devil for those who abused and raped. Teach them Taekwondo, he continued, and no one will be able to mess around with your child. Kick you foe in the groin and punch him in the nose when he is down..."
 
Please leave our country alone. Our country was separated from Asia's land so than Koreans,Chinese, Vietnamese and all meeses in the world will leave us alone.
 
That's all I really want to ask you Koreans.
