i think i can show it by portraying philippines as
a great country and sisiguraduhing sa loob
ng bansa lng ang mga negatibong balita!!!

tatagalugin ko na lng pg nagpost ako sa internet
pag gusto kong maiparating ang di ko gusto sa
bansa.

We are the only people in the world who uses this thing (in my knowledge that is)

Please dont tell me thats the one for the piss (or crap). I remember hearing this about a friends boyfriends (hes Filipino) and how her bf wouldnt flush it down the toilet but put it in the trash can so they dont have to pay that in the water bill.

To tell you the truth I find that admirable, most of us are too confortable the way we have it. Doesnt waste water. However, Ill find it hard to even do that if I tried.

My mom also told me about seeing something like that (some bucket or something) in the bathroom at a Filipino restaurant.

You are talking about the arinola man...

That is use for bathing... you dig the water from it to take a bath...

I hate taking morning showers in the Philippines. You wake up hot a drowzy, then you have to throw ice cold wter on yourself. Seriously I don't even know how the water gets that cold.

wahahahaha.... kandingon...

hmm. don't know what that means. My tagalog is limited.

ATEH, ARINOLA YATA ANG IBIG MONG SABIHIN. YES, YOU DO PISS IN IT, MOSTLY OLD PEOPLE USE IT, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, SO THAT THEY WONT HAVE TO GO FURTHER TO THE TOILET.

THAT ONE RIGHT THERE IS A TABO, YOU USE IT TO SCOOP WATER, FOR BATHING OR FLUSHING IF THE FLUSH IS BROKEN,ETC.





MAO GYUD! KANDINGON! HAHAHA. IT'S NOT EVEN TAGALOG DUDE! IT'S ONE WHO DOES NOT LIKE, IF REALLY DOESNT, TAKE A SHOWER.

bisaya na bai...

KANDING-----GOAT
KANDINGON-----LIKE A GOAT

Goats are afraid of water.... wahahahahaha

Sorry for my ignorance (which is the reason I put the "crap" in the parenthesis). I do know that at the restaurant my mom went to they did put the toilet paper in a basket as well.

the pearl of the orient
we are the cutest among asians!??
english speaking nation
wat else pa?

I am proud of the courage and sacrifice our forefathers made for us to have freedom today.

I am proud of how our culture value education.

I am proud of the high regard we give to raising a family well.

I am proud of our resiliency in the face of adversity.

I am proud of the pleasant demeanor and cheerfulness of Filipinos despite carrying a heavy burden.

I am proud of the perseverance of Filipinos, no matter how many times we get knocked down in life, we always get up and power our way through.

LOL...no worries man... we learn something from you too.... (kamehame) we thought this came from manga (DBZ)

Which everyone says hha. Darn Japanese stealing everything!

Oh i get it. I like warm water, not cold. I perfer my water heated jet shower to a freezing bucket

haha pagkasungogan jud aning mga Pinoy oi...

very proud!

hell ya i am, i have a philippine flag and american flag logos stitched on boxer shorts

every asian culture has a 'tabo'. in india they call it 'lota'.



i dunno what they call it in indonesia but they had one too. i bought a pink heart shaped one. i think its more sanitary to use it rather than to just use tp alone.

hmm... i don't really like using the taboo
hope there's nothing wrong with me

last time I used that was when I was 6. I don't know how the h3ll r u supposed to clean ur @$$ with that...since u can't see when u clean it. Tp all the way for me....that or banana leaves

GRABEH, KUYA! PWEDE TAGALUGIN! PINOY MAN KAHA TA! HAHA



NAH! SUNGOGAN MO LANG!! GRABE KABUGAL BUGALON BAH!! HAHA



HAHAHA. SEE HOW RESOURCEFUL AND 'FLEXIBLE' WE COULD GET! HAHA


i am proud for the fact that amidst the problems we have, we can still laugh and be happy.

Why? Is theyre sumting rong wid mah inglish?

Di mo ba alam na onor role ako nung nasa eskwela pa ko. Gradyuate yata to sa Mababang Paaralan ni Joseph Ejercito Estrada. Exclusib Scuul yon ha.

Entreprenurial ba pag ang isang titser bumili ng 12-pc. biscuit pack sa presyong 8.50 tapos ipagbibili n tig wa-one peso ang biscuit?

buing! hahahaha... ang deyf mu naman kasih maginingglis! hahaha.. juker!!

I on the other hand don't like to use TP. Its as if something down there is left after wiping. And if I wipe really hard, it either itches or gets sore. What I do is use tabo and water first, then wipe with tp just to pat dry, through and through Pinoy here BTW. hehehe.

Pity that hotel rooms here in the Philippines do not provide tabo. Kadiri na to sa mga dayuhan kaya sa tagalog na lang. Ginagamit kong kapalit? Baso.

once again, my fellow countrymen (and women), here are some pics of your ancestors' pride and joy. you forget your past, you might as well disregard your future. these weapons are our very own...

These weapons r mostly from Visayas and Mindanao right??? Cuz it was the Deuturo-malay ancestors of Visayans and bangsamoro who brought over the knowledge of metal working to the Philippines

more...












see? there you have some more reasons of why you should be proud to be a filipino.

^there's this museum in Bontoc, Mt. Province where they display weapons of different Igorot tribes and other stuff like musical instruments, clothes, native housesm, etc.. It makes me really feel proud of the Igorots' achievement even if I'm not one.

igorots greatest achievement is the banue rice terraces...truly bayanihan

^yup ang ganda ganda.

the driver we hired was very proud of the banaue rice terraces. talagang may "our ancestors made it thousands of years ago"

yung ibang rice terraces gawa sa bato yun talaga lupa lang ang harang.

Wow cool weapons Ilonggo. Some of them look like Kukris. Im not expert so I may be wrong but they look similar. Cool stuff, all Ive seen from the Phillipines is the one with the guys head cut off (black and white photo), sticks, and machete (which is common I guess in PI?). I hear about the machete all the time from my Filipino friend.

the first part is a mixture of bangsamoro, lumad and visayan weapons, while the second part are luzon, visayan, and of course, katipunan sandatas. it shows the diversity of our people, on how everyone is different and yet we share a common bond. nowhere else in the world will you see these heirlooms, which unfortunately is beginning to disappear. once these weapons disappear into obscurity, our manongs pride will be gone forever. i can see a century from now, someone will find one of these magnificent sword in a market somewhere in europe, and the person would not have an idea of what it is, so he sells it for the price of what one would pay for a candy bar...

Sorry but why exactly should I be that proud??? their just swords...glorified machetes that had a dual mostly agricultural use. Where I'm from kids would be carrying one of these around for work in the farm.

.



good point you make, rl33... it's hard to see the picture looking from inside the box.


when i got to the museums here in the states, and i see those in display, with a little subtitle explaining the ferocity of the moro warrior against the americans during the so-called philippine insurrection, on how the faced the latest technology at that time with nothing but these glorified machetes, then you will understand. or ask any special ops on what type of martial arts would they take and would love to learn due to its effectiveness, they'll tell ya FMA, or filipino martial arts, which inceidentally was created long ago by our ancestors based on these same blades, these glorified machetes. yes it's sad that nowadays they are but forgotten. nothing more than farm implements... i hope i'm making sense to you.

U make perfect sense ...so many people don't know about pre-spanish philippines. There was culture before the spanish and americans came you know.

correct me if im wrong but i think i read AN
article featuring a pinoymamanday and
family exporting SWORDS in hollywood.
and their earning dollars.

parang ginamit sa pirates of the caribbean
or lord of the rings

you confuse me sometimes. anyway, at least hindi ka tulad ni dalawapo.

alibata,
panuurin mo ang pirates of the carribean, part two. you will see on the natives scene, the are actually carrying mountain province weapons. i think they are suppose to be ilongots??? not sure, but there was a scene where they were ready to eat jack sparrow and a dog diverted their attention. thought it was funny.

Its just sad (and pathetic) that people look for something in order to coax these so called ashamed filipinos. I mean pride isnt because we have some cool weapons in the museums or our martial arts, well maybe to preteens who think 50 cent is the greatest rap artist ever lol. Pride is simply being who or what you are and thats Filipino, if these fil ams cant understand that then thats their loss. IF these so called pacific islanders are so ignorant of what they then maybe they aren't worth your time and effort.

ano?? sorry..hindo ko gets



RL...sino ba ang babae sa avatar mo

you're right in that it's easy to lose that pride once you move someplace else. i guess it's just human nature to assimilate, you kinda don't want to stick out like a sore thumb, so you try to maintain a low profile as much as you can. i admit that i was guilty of that. but brought me back to reality was the time i was still in the U.S. Army. in our barracks, there were these pictures of great american battles, going all the way back to their revolutionary days. one picture that slapped me hard was this:





the title is "knocking out the Moros". here's the excerpt from that painting:


The four-day battle of Bagsak Mountain on Jolo Island in the Philippines took place from 11 to 15 June 1913. Americans of the 8th Infantry and the Philippine Scouts, personally lead by Brigadier General John J. Pershing, brought to an end years of bitter struggle against the Moro pirates. These Bolo men, outlaws of great physical endurance and savage fighting ability, were well organized under their Datus or chiefs. They had never been conquered during several centuries of Spanish rule in the Philippines. The U.S. Army .45-caliber pistol was developed to meet the need for a weapon with enough striking power to stop fanatical charges of lawless Moro tribesmen in hand-to-hand fighting.

all these time, i thought i knew our history. i didn't knew we fought them, the strongest country in the world, now, and then. i was like dayummm, we got some steel balls!

the filams that knows and turn their back are who i'm sorry for. my kids, i'm trying to make them remember who they are, reason i'm hardcore about this...

That avatar is so hypnotizing

LOL @ Fanatics and Outlaws. Anyone who opposes the whiteman equals those two words.

Sorry but they lost, correct? I find that the most obvious since they had the guns but just had to ask since I wasnt quite sure based on the nature of your post, but from what I read in the description, it seems like the US finally won (sadly).

BTW, good example of the swords as showing pride. I feel the same way with objects and relics from Hawaiian ancestors. Its not the objects perse, but the fact that it was created/used/etc. by the ancestors. They sort of live through the objects, as they live through us in some sort of way.

Also, whos that in your signature? Tribal dance?

But at least they lost fighting

LOL on his sig. I believe is UFC fighting

Agreed.

Right I figured that, but I thought there was a reason he had it in his sig. Thought maybe that guy was dancing some sort of tribal dance there (like how the All Blacks do the Haka).

BTW how you like my avatar?

Goli Mar

That thread has got to be one of the funniest things I have seen online, those videos still crack me up (I even downloaded them to my pc haha).

Omg, man.. where'd u got those pics?
I wanna see 'em, which museum are these at?
