I'm so proud to be a Filipino

I've been living here in Japan for 26 years and I can consider this experience of mine in Japan being the worst. A group of our friends are coming to Japan and they reserved a place to stay. They asked me and another friend of mine to look at the place they reserved and to ask some details about the place. And we were also requested by them that if the place is okay to our eyes then we can pay it for them. But to our surprise the owner (?) / care-taker(?) was not only extremely rude on how he talked to us but also said that he doesn't want us Filipinos to be one of his guests because he considers us Filipinos a part of the sex business which is "FUZOKU" in Japanese. I've been trying to control my temper during the time of the conversation but when he said this word, it was as if I became a warrior or it seems like I was a volcano that errupted..
This is a very sensitive topic to discuss but I just don't like my country to be connotated with this. Yes, there are people who works in this kind of business but please don't put in general. Besides, people who work in this business have their own reasons and for sure they are not happy of what their work is. And this type of work is everywhere even here inn Japan. If he really thinks that his aiming to offer the services like Westin, well it will take him forever to attain this goal if he continues to have this type of thinking. Everybody should be given the same treatment no matter what their nationality, occupation, and religion is.
