I am a Filipino and I am proud to be a Filipino. We Filipinos have so many things to be proud of. Here are just a few of those things.

1. We can adapt and thrive wherever we are in the world.
2. We have beautiful faces. Our faces are beautiful because the warmth and depth of our soul and spirit bring light to our eyes.
3. Despite the poverty and the political instability and the adversity that exists in our country, we can still find a reason to smile and laugh.
4. We have tightly-knit family systems. We can always count on the support of the family whenever things go wrong for us.
5. We make very loyal and very supportive friends.
6. Our country is beautiful.
7. We have a very low suicide rate in the Philippines -- remarkable, given the extent of poverty here.

I am proud to be a Filipino. Filipinos have a lot of reasons to be proud of their country and themselves.

I'm proud of:

-My spanish roots (great great grandpa was a spanish counsellor)
-The very close family relationships
-The very beautiful women, the very pretty ones look like a mix between Spanish, Chinese & American
-The fact that filipinos always smile no matter what
-The nice hot and humid weather and the beautiful sunsets

There's more but it would take up 10 pages if I were to write it all up.

I'm proud of being Filipino, and we all should. Because of what our culture has gone through, and like what others said, we tend to adapt to any environment easily. I'am also very proud of our revolutionary father, Jose Rizal (I cant even list the accomplishments this man has done for us), and Lapu Lapu from my homeland Cebu, who stood up to the Portugues invader, Magellan. (Vivas Las Filipinas!) Well nowadays I cant even tell whos Filipino and whos not. Hah, I'm also proud of how many dialics we have, which incorporates so many other roots such as Spanish, Malays, Tongans, etc. Theres so many things to be proud of being a Filipino!

Definitely!

Iam proud that Filipinos have close family ties, they help each other out as much as they can. Filipino parents takes good care of their children (most!) and Filipino children takes care of their parents in return (most).They dont put them in care homes.

Im proud that the filipinos are still on the "conservative" side. Men are polite and women are reserved.

Overseas, Iam proud to say that Filipinos work way better than other nationalities, filipinos speak and understand english better and Filipinos are hardworkers.

I'm proud being a Filipino i love everything about this country the simpleness of life, the people, the culture and the traditions.
I'm proud of how my parents taught us the good values, opened our eyes to the bad side of being a Filipino, but it's what makes us fight for what we believe and respect for traditions that have been passed from generations to generations

A fillipino girl sat in front of me in H.S. OMG was she beautiful ! 20 yrs later and I STILL remember her !

EDSA '86. A bloodless revolution. Jose Rizal would have been happy to see that.

Adaptability - put a Filipino anywhere and they'll adapt to their environment.

The ability to see humour inspite of everything.

Love of life. Filipino live their life to the fullest inspite of the poverty that surrounds them.

Hospitality - will give their best food to visitor even if they don't eat for a long time.

Sacrifice - they'll sacrifice everything for the sake of their children's future.

Wherever they are, whatever they are, the Filipino always try to make a Filipino community even at the ends of the earth.

Not all Filipinos are liars, nor cheaters, Filipinos live the way they alone knows how.

'bayanihan'- filipinos helping each other. you can always depend each other wherever you are in the world. i appreciate this trait lately when we need to move to a new house and all our friends are willing to help us carry all those big pieces of furniture.

I am proud being a Pilipino. Also all pilipino are known for being a Hospitable People. that's why so many people around the wolrd like us pilipino..

spanish_armada23

the beautiful islands. one just has to come here and see for themselves.

close family ties--even if the parents are old, they can stay with any of their children who are more than willing to accommodate them.

filipinos also love music. that's why you're gonna hear news about someone getting killed over the song "my way" lol. kidding aside, you'll find any house with a magic sing or if there isn't any, there's always the guitar and the people start singing.

the way people can bounce back from adversities---natural calamities, coup attempts, the aptly called "trapos" for traditional politicians in the government, the works. though it might be quite shocking for some, they still find the time to smile, laugh and wave behind the reporter while he or she is delivering the news. maybe that's why there isn't much need for psychiatrists. ;-)

As Filipinos, we have a lot to be proud of. It is us who started the "people power" - a bloodless revolution to topple a dictator.
We are talented people - proofs are we have champions who excelled in music, sports, arts and many other endeavor. We have the likes of Lea Salonga, Efren Reyes, Paeng Nepumuceno and a lot more who are achievers and excelled in their fields of endeavors.

There's really so much to be proud of for Filipinos.

imelda marcos had 20,000 shoes when more than a million filipinos could not even buy slippers or sandals...

the worst part of it is... the filipinos still voted for her son and daughter and i believe they are very prominent politicians now (like senators, in the congress or governors)...

me? im proud pinoy, mostly im proud of edsa86

Sam X9

In sports, we have Manny Pacquiao, Efren "Bata" Reyes and Paeng Nepomuceno. All are world champions on the field of sport they are in.

CON"FOOL"CIOUS

Ms Double G

I think the things we could be proud of is our "Culture" the "behaviour" and us being "conservative and naive specially woman...you know when it comes of a men we are so behave and shy type, we are not so brutal showing our way of loving for our special someone in public,we are so enough by holding hands while walking in the street, we prepared to be so private when it comes of showing love, kissing in public is not our way.....unlike the other ladies to the other countries(ops sorry (*!~) hehehe)...but you DO know what i meant, right? ...thank you and that's all!!

randyvous75

manny pacquiao. though he might be soft-spoken, thats because he lets his fists do all the talking!

"Batista" the big mofo wrestler from WWE has a pinoy flag tattoo on his left bicep.

sonny_too_much

I am proud that we have 20,000,000 poor hungry people in the Philippines. I am very proud that we have the dirtiest streets in the world. I am proud that almost every person is dishonest, from the Pedicab driver to the president. We are world class liars and cheaters. I am proud that our cheating ways have driven out almost all industry and now the only work for our children is in the Muslim Desserts.
The list can go on and on ! We have so much to be proud of. Ours is a PERFECT country , filled with PERFECT people.
