What characteristics make one a true Filipino - where upon examining you'll exclaim - "This person is straight up, 100% Filipino!"?

Someone who is ethnically Malay, and not mixed.

Damn, so I guess i'm not a true Filipino because I have been tainted with Spaniard blood. And here I am talking about Filipino pride, rofl

Don't worry your still a true filipino, just not 100% pure.

You can be malay, mestizo, tsinoy and still be a true filipino. Just don't forget your roots and sell out.

Anyone who’s family is from the Philippines are Filipinos whether they’re Negritos, full Malays, Criollos/Mestizos Malays, or Chinese Filipinos. It’s like USA, Canada, and Australia. Anyone can be an American, Canadian, etc. The original Spanish colonists during colonial times and their offsprings born there were called “Filipinos” not the full-blooded East Indies Malays or Chinese Filipinos. I read about this in a history book about Filipinos Americans in Chicago in the early 20th century. US Congress also considered the Spanish Criollos in the P.I. as “Filipinos” not the malays in the 19th century before the Spanish American war. I’m not sure what the Chinese were called but the East Indies Malays were called either “Indios” by the Spanish Friars or “Manilamen” for the Filipinos Malay men that served as sailors on Spanish Galleon ships from the P.I. to California and Mexico or served as mercenaries in China’s Wars under Frederick Townsend Ward in the 19th century and America’s War of 1812 and American Civil War. It was during the Philippines war of independence that the KKK revolutionary group took the name “Filipino” to ecompass all Filipinos fighting for Independence from their already weakened Màdre de Espańa.

this coming from a fukkin clown obsessed with being as white as possible.

anyway back on topic.....THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FILIPINO RACE!!!!!...so no 100% filipino....well my pesonal belief is that the only 100% filipino is someone whose whole heart, soul and loyalty belongs only to the philippines.....the philippines is sort of like an alliance of Malay, negrito, chinese, and others dedicated to making the philippines great.

Someone who have considerable amount of Malay, Spanish and chinese--I always hear my friends bragging about it-- "I am a complete Filipino!"

really I didn't know that I wanted to be as white as possible??

Don't assume f@ggot.

Coz i was born in the philippines!

so you are austrocizing the negritos, the indigenous tribes of the cordilleras, the indigenous tribes of mindanao, and the muslim tribes of sulu and mindanao?

so its like we demand they are part of the philippine nation, but they are not to be considered true filipino because they do not have the spanish, chinese blood lines because their ancestors fought too hard to remain free and unoppressed...

stupid guy

yeah..your right..my fault..i meant to say obsessed with the skin color of filipinos.


again.. sorry for wrong choice of words.

Here is a guy who just acted like a whiny ladyboy last few weeks and promised to "lets not talk to each other anymore" complete with all those f@ggot dramas. And then 2 weeks later, here he is, still acting like a whiny ladyboy and talking to me.

Get a life chomorro louse boy, I aint feeding your Malay Nazi tendencies. Plus you look exactly like Abu Sabaya. Nyahahahaha!

im sorry, i totally forgot cause you see its been a while just forget i ever said anything i apologize

HEART and Loyalty/Patriotism to the Philippines.. Whether his chinese, spanish, native, negrito, upland tribe, muslim, amerasian, eurasian, blasian.

A 100% native Filipino can be the most un-Filipino of all.

Really, I do have Tsinoy friends and they are more Filipino than some "malay/native" Filipinos in my School.

For me, being Filipino is not by ethnicity/race but by heart.

Gen. Paua was a Full-blooded chinese but he fought side by side with the "natives". And besides, most of our heroes are actually mestizos(both Spanish and Chinese).
Minsan nga napapaisip ako na masPilipino pa ang mga mestizo kesa sa mga "purong" Pilipino.

Si Jay Perillo(hindi ko maalala kung SCQ yun o Star Struck or Star In a Million) he's of Chinese descent(mukha pa ngang f4 eh!) pero sabi niya Filipino siya.



Jasmine Trias, anyone? Hehehe


Assimilation, not discrimination ... naks.

1. Anybody born in the Philippines (doesn't matter if their parents came from the planet Pluto), they are Filipinos, pure and unadulterated.

2. Anybody who is a bonafide citizen of the Republic of the Philippines, and who abides by its laws and constitution. Looks do not count.

Interesting idea. It's like the US. Someone can be a "Proud American" and look like any person under the sun. The Philippines did not have an obvious Ellis Island, but there were many types coming in.

Jasmine Trias is a two-face, sell-out, skank.

She's an AMERICAN of Filipino ancestry. She even said that Hawaii was her home.
So I prefer Chinese peeps who thinks that the Philippines is their home

basta mahal ang Pilipinas, nakahandang ipaglaban ang pagiging estado ng Pinas, at hindi ikinahihiya ang pagiging Pinoy, 100% Filipino yan! anupaman ang dugo sa ugat nya!
