The professional class Mexicans I know in the US can get this. It often comes with unpleasant undertones though and it doesn't sound as though people are being negative in your case?

The people I know who have had Filipina staff have always been very positive about them and the commenters may well think they are being positive about the only link they have with your country. Some people may be being passive aggressive with you it is impossible to tell over the Internet but should be easier to judge tone in RL.

You can either talk about your own families experiences of being helped by other Filipinas, if you are all professionals I am guessing that you must have some. Or talk about some other aspect of your country. Or as previous poster has said talk about English help that you have received.
