Would you deny that you are a Filipino?

I totally agree with LUVINHIM, she brought many good points about many filipinos (especially the youth) who are raised or born abroad. I grew up in the West, but was born in the Philippines, and what I have realised when growing up as a young filipino is that many other filipinos try to associate themselves to the culture of our neighbouring asians, or the spanish or americans.

One time, I remember my friend (also filipino) would say "Yea, proud to be asian!" and would do anything that is significantly chinese, japanese, or korean. Nothing wrong with learning another culture that interested him, but what got to me was when he RARELY shows anything that I consider significantly FILIPINO! Like why? Is it that many of us filipinos refuse to accept their unique heritage that they would rather associate to something that seems socially "acceptible" in their eyes or the eyes of others? What's even sad is that there are so many of them who continue to deny their blood and culture...

After reading many of the answers here, I am very thankful and pleased that there are still enough filipinas and filipinos out there who stay true to themselves, whether they are in our mother country or the nation abroad. Stay true to yourself, my fellow filipinos! PINOY THROUGH AND THROUGH!

No, even if I want to I can't because I look every inch like a Filipino. Anyway, despite some adverse opinions about my fellow countrymen, I am still proud to be a Filipino. I AM A FILIPINO THROUGH AND THROUGH.

siopaO

Felicity???

Never. I'm proud of the fact that I am a Filipina, and I always will be. In fact, I'm so proud of it that I always get into fights against the Filipino-hating racists on neatvibe.com. I think I just got kicked off the site for inciting chaos. :D

never, i am proud of who i am.

I am not a filipino, neither by blood nor by nationality. But I've been here for a long time and would never deny the fact that I consider myself "filipino" in many ways. Why deny something that you are closely attached to in one way or another???

wentygal0313

never!

No. 100% Pinoy!

NONAME

no, & even though most times i am mistaken for a vietnamese, cambodian, thailander, malaysian, chinese or anything but pinoy.

& yes even by fellow filipinos. & to most foreigners us asians look the same, although they have mistaken me as a hispanic man many many times, i would answer back in spanish whenever i can, but no i have not denied that i am a filipino.

ohioan_femme

No. Whenever anyone asks me where I'm from, I always tell them from the Philippines!

luvinhim

i don't deny being a filipina and yes, i eat rice. what i don't understand is why a lot of filipinos argue about whether they're asian or pacific islander especially in the US.....heck! i just say i'm pinay...take it or leave it. also, i find it funny when a lot filipino-americans try to say they're part spanish when they don't have proof that they actually are.....the color of their skin and their noses say it all. hmm....come to think of it, even full filipinos from hawaii deny they're filipinos. like jasmine trias. i don't know if they showed the entire AI show in pinas but on her first interview on the show as sort of an "intro" she said she's hawaiian and spanish. didn't mention being pinay at all and then all of a sudden when she finally got voted off, she became so famous in pinas. why? there are clearly dozens of singers waaaay better than her who could easily win AI. hmmm...

MAGpie

never ever

ELSEE

Never, I am proud to be Filipino, even though I support and love America as well.

I don't eat rice every meal, I trained myself to not eat rice all the time because rice is not available everywhere. I eat it maybe once or twice a month.

Juan C

never mind...

I love eating rice together with my ulam...

the best thing the describes a real Filipino,,, never forgets how to speak their native language and Tagalog, have magic sing at home, have walis-tambo or walis-tingting at home, loves to eat rice, loves to watch tele-serye, resides with their family even he/she is older enough to be independent, have TFC, have a Philippine flag at home or in their car or elsewhere, etc...

mga kababayan, ikinalulugod kong ialay sa inyo ang awit na ito at nawa'y maging paalala ito - sa ating lahat - kung gaano karangal ang maging pilipino

my dear countrymen, i'm happy to dedicate this song to you and may it serves as a reminder - to us all - of just how wonderful it is to be filipinos

"AKO AY PILIPINO"

janine

no..its obvious.

yeman

No i'm NOT. I'm still proud to be a Filipino, 'Sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa'.
Even other people are saying that we are a country of cheaters.

Steven

I'm half Filipino and I'm proud of it. I was even born in the Philippines, although I don't speak any Tagalog.

ilovepurple

If a Filipino had done something wrong in some place.. maybe i would deny that I am a FIlipino because I don't want to be in trouble. HAHA!!

I still eat rice..

Aref H4

Anytime!

I just love being Antipatiko.

But consider that I look very much like a Chinese or a Thailander, as someone else above is, and there's this rich Chinese millionaire looking for his lost heir, who bears a birthmark like so and so. I immediately implant myself with same birthmark, learn Mandarin or Cantonese or whatever.

Yep, I'm Chinese,sir, your long lost son.

Or, you are in a line where those who made you fall in have "katanas" on their hands, "katana" being the Japanese killing sword. "You Filipino?"

Nah! I'm your next door neighbor in Tokyo!

olrac

I look very Filipino and why deny?

Too obvious.

klarity
