    I’m half Filipino and Black and I also experience the way you’re feeling. Sometimes, my mother does the same thing, and I think it’s annoying. I’m not too sure if it’s part of the culture, because most Filipinos who are trained to eat properly do not behave as such. It can also be lack of education and training. My best friend is Chinese, she’s a college grad and she eats the same way. I do get irritated too, but sometimes I just ignore them because I might just hurt their feelings if I say something. So it’s not just Filipinos, but I think it’s the way you were brought up. I would suggest that if it bothers you that much, maybe you should ask, jokingly, why you notice most of them eating this way. If you don’t think it’s worth the conversation, then you should stick with what you’re doing: avoiding eating with them
