Magandang Gabi from Curaçao!\nThere are 7 Filipinos working for me here on board my ship (I'm an American)...they are all hard-working, smart guys...I've visited the Philippines several times, many years ago...always had a very good time there...just wish that some day the Philippines will be free of all the corruption that represses it...then Filipinos (and Filipinas) will become truly prosperous.

The Philippines are a large archipelago of seven thousand islands near the coast of Asia. The primary commercial products are hemp, sugar cane, hemp, tobacco, coconut, rubber, gold and copper deposits. Much of its trade is done with the U.S.A. Even though the Philippines was surmounted by the Spanish, the Filipino people were still able to retain their identity. They are mostly Malay and Chinese with a small Spanish minority. To my knowledge, the Philippians's population is approximately 61,480,000 and the area is approximately 115,600 square miles. The Philippines is about 80% Catholic with a small Muslim minority. It is interesting to note that the Philippines was named after Philip of Spain.\n It is also interesting to note that in 1895 a group of Filipinos( called the Manila Men(mostly from the southern part of the Philippines) settled a little community near New Orleans, Louisiana. Using their experience of fishing in the Philippines, these men found the bayous of Louisiana similar to the bayous in the Philippines. They eventually founded one of the oldest and most popular fishing villages in Barataria Bay, Manila Village, named after the capital of the Philippines, Manila.

Ahhh...for what, is it for dating, for marriage or just for friendship?\nFor marriage, i say, Filipinas (you got the correct spelling) are devoted to their husbands (mostly).They value their families. They are supportive and caring. But ofcourse not everybody is, i'm talking generally. \nOfcourse you know the persons more, I am not putting my side on the filipina because I am a filipina, but just to give you an insight of what are some of the qualities of filipinas. Hope it helps.

People from the Philippines work in other countries to have a better life. Their country is full of corrupt politicians so it's getting robbed of it's wealth, and the economy worsens every year.\n\nI believe these people have the prerogative to do what they want to better themselves as long as it's legal. I have worked with filipinos and they are educated and learned people. I also know that US hospitals like to hire them because they can assign these people everywhere because of their training. A lot of these people came to this country legally and are being hired as Nurses, Doctors, Architects, Engineers, Teachers, Accountants, and etc.\n\nI also dislike what our friend, RENZ here is saying. That's a racist statement. You shouldn't discriminate people base on their race and country of origin. I presume the reason why you hate these people so much as to warn other readers is because you have been spurned by one. I wouldn't be surprised either if he/she left you because you don't sound like a likeable person, and the stench of hatred emanates from you.\n\nI have spent years in Asia and met a lot of people from different countries and am proud to say that Filipinos are very warm hearted and generous people. Even if they don't have much food on their plates, they would gladly share it with you. Even the poorest people I met would offer to share their food with me. I also have American friends married to Filipinos and they would be the first to tell you that you are very much mistaken about these people.\n\nAbout those people working in Japan as "sluts", I believe that the world has sluts everywhere, and there would be sluts as long as there are perverts willing to pay for the services. They come in different race and colors too if you didn't notice.\n\nWith regards to those working abroad illegaly, it's their choice, their risks and their thoughts of living in fear that one day they would be caught and sent back home. For the meantime, they earn their living and send money home to buy food. \n\nI am for people living and working legally wherever they are. I am for honest living. And NO, I am not a Filipino, nor am I married to one.I am an American who for years worked side by side with these people, and they never cease to amaze me because of their dedication for work. Overtime, my admiration grew for their kind, And guess what? These people I know speak good English too, and their sons and daughters excels in their schools.

It's the Filipino traits that look hispanic, despite the fact that they are completely unrelated. (There is a European-Spanish influence in Filipino culture, but it has nothing to do with the Latin American traits which are typically darker in features). My husband is half Filipino, half German and people always assume he speaks Spanish. (He doesn't).\n\nBy the way, that combination of Filipino/European in women is referred to as the "Pilipina Beauty" which is how they refer to our daughter.

the Philippines is a country of diverse cultures although some cultures have similarities with other cultures.\n\nThere are six groups:\n\nHispanic - The majority of the population comprising about 72% of the population. They are mainly Christians and because Spain ruled the Philippines, the Hispanic Filipinos were greatly influenced by Latin America and Spain. But still on the core, they are Asians, retaining their indigenous Malay root culture and significant influences from Hinduism and Taoism. These group have 11 ethno-linguistic groups.\n\nMuslim - They are also known as Moros, a term assigned to them by the Spaniards after the Islamic Moors who ruled Spain for some time. They comprise about 20% of the population. Unlike their Christian or Hispanic brothers, their culture is still greatly influenced by their first religions: Animism, Hinduism and Taoism, evethough they are brutally converted to Islam by the Arab traders from Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia. Many of them have some admixture of Arabic blood. These groiup have 10 ethno-linguistic groups.\n\nTribal - they are the hereditaries of true Philippine culture becuase they are never influenced by the Hindu and Taoist traders, the Muslim missionaries and the Spanish colonists. These group although only 2% of the population composed of 65 ethno-linguistic groups, each comprise of scattered clans all around the Philippine archipelago.\n\nChinese - They came here to the Philippines and introduced their religion Taoism and it came to mingle with the indigenous animistic religions of different ethnic groups. Many of them married locals and gave birth to a breed called "Tsinoy". They comprise 2% of the population.\n\nIndians - Like the Chinese, they came here as traders. They introduced the religion Hinduism which also mingled with the local religions. Many of them also married locals and their breeds are called "Sepoys". They comprise 2% of the population.\n\nSpaniards - They were the descendants of the creoles, Philippine-born Spaniards who never came back to Spain. They also married many Filipina women and their breed are commonly called "Mestizos". They comprise 3% of the population.\n\n\nAlthough the Philippines maybe a one country, it has many ethno-linguistic groups who are still proud of their ethnic group and boasting it to other ethnic groups even fellow christians, muslims etc. A muslim group, the Tausug, are struggling to form a separate nation, although they are the only muslims who likes to. They end up terrorizing and bombing malls and other buildings all over the Philippines because they are still under the Philippines. They even hate their fellow muslims, those of the other ethnic groups, thinking of them as traitors because these other muslim groups are cooperating with the christian majority.\n\n\ni hope you understand what i've said. :p

their history is so interesting because of the different countries that came there, tried to conquer it, left their mark on it.  It is a kind of United States of Asia.  Filipinos are friendly, curious, and very tolerant of others.   They are located just north of the largest Moslem population in the world--Indonesia.  Yet this great island nation has  maintained its character and its diversity, while Indonesia has not.   How did the Philippine Islands get this way?  That is the reason to study the history.

The sunset at Manila Bay, Balut, Manggang hilaw w/ bagoong, People Power, Tiangge, Hopia, SM Malls, simbang gabi, mga magagandang dilag, mga guwapong lalaki, Kare-Kare, Baguio, Boracay, Dinuguan w/ Puto, Manny Pacquiao and Lechon.\n\nThese are what my relatives and friends from abroad are asking for/talking about when they come here, so I guess these must be what comes to their minds about the Philippines.
