Filipino cosplayers abroad are like Saiyans. They trained in an environment where the forces pulling them down were ten times greater.

Conservativism, amateurism, subcultural elitism, crab mentality...

...those are just a few of the challenges faced by cosplayers in the Philippines.
I get conservativism, since there ARE quite a few old wisecrackers around

Amateurism is an ideal that holds amatuers above professionals.
Ah. So that hampers only professional cosplayers.

Believe it or not, there are Filipino cosplayers who believe no cosplayer should ever, ever get paid to cosplay.
Paid to cosplay regularly for events you mean.

Paid to cosplay *for anything*.
I'd agree in saying there are forces, but not that they're that great.
