Not just mass media. Even "enlightened" pinoys on FB, Reddit, and Twitter post inconveniences in the country and prop up Japan as not having those problems which contributes to the mythologization of immigration and the age-old "MaG-AbRoAd Ka Na" ethos.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this here already but within just an hour of being in Japan, I've already seen littering (by locals, not tourists) and they no longer teach escalator etiquette there (the PA announcer even warns people not to walk on the escalator). I also rarely see babies and their workforce is disturbingly old.
Also, the relatively affordable food and goods means the yen is weak, which is good for us but bad for them.
