IGNORANT people of the world have problems with anyone they see as 'different.' It is fear of the unknown...and it is sad how much suffering in the world is created from it!

I would agree, dont worry about these ignorant people that just want to think that they are superior, for instance sweet seduction, like Italy is any less poor than Mexico! Being poor does not make you a bad person, and being of a certain nationality does not make you automatically ugly or fat. People need to get over themselves, they have no reason to feel superior.

The good ones can be very nice and the bad ones can be very bad. I have met only nice people from both countries. I immagine, Mitra, that most are just people like everywhere else and the news and world leaders create positive and negative impressions.\n\nYou hear stupid people every day lumping all of one group together (illegals, Americans, blacks, whites, etc.) and believing only the worst. The fact is that we are all just people.

Someone who is from the Philippines who has probably seen many things that most people do not- political unrest, volcanoes erupting and earthquakes.  \n\nI also think of my friend who is from there.

Filipinos aren't the only cluture group who do so,\nand it makes historic sense: homo sapiens had hands long before tools and spoons were "invented".

Hey, don's say that filipino women have tight *****, SAAli! You are practically insulting me, my mom, my sisters, and my family! Ok, the reason people like to marry filipino women is because they usually are pretty, and they want a little cash to LIVE. It's not their fault. My dad married my mom, and now we have a big Resort (from dad), and land, land, and a whole lot more of land(mom&dad). MY LIFE IS HEAVEN!

They did not enter the qualification for the 2006 World Cup in order to focus more on developing youth football and competing in regional tournaments such as the Southeast Asian Games. The main reason for this lack of success is mainly because football is not the country's principal sport. The national identity of the Filipinos is tied very closely to basketball.\n\nP.S. \nIm Half-Filipino, live in Thailand, and Love football.

i think most filipinos think negative about spaniards & spain due to i the colonization era but i think its time to move on and appreciate the cultural heritage left by spain.\n\n\nspain & philippines share a lot of cultural similarities especially the roman catholic tradition, fiestas etc.\n\ni wish spanish was not abolished by the govenrment if it was not abolished then presently that is the 3rd official language of the country.

non-Filipinos please do not type something you do not understand in our country because it will just make you look bad. Our country the Philippines is under the government of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who I have to say is better than some of the past presidents. The Problem is that the opposition always finds a way to bring down the Gloria Administration in order for then to take full control of power. Most of corrupt officials belong to the opposition and for this I hate them. The president for me is very educated and has all the knowledge to govern the country. In the other hand most of the opposition is made up of people who have not finished college or actors who does not have all the experience to govern. some of the senators are also a waste for they only stay in power yet do nothing to help the country. I hope to give more power to the charter change of the president to parliamentary system because it will do a big difference in passing laws. It will also do good because the corrupt officials will be taken away from their seat of power. Many people hate the charter change yet most of these people do not even know what charter change is, they don't even know how the parliamentary system works. the following are some factors that hinders the growth of the economy and the country:\n1. Uneducated Filipinos who wants to prove nothing.\n2. Corrupt officials who want to stay in power.\n3. poor people who are paid to rally\n4. terrorist\n5. The opposition. Is it not ironic that the oppositions that want to make a better country only destroys the country by the pointless rallies they make that affects the economy.\n\ngood thing the president is there to keep the economy from collapsing.

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.

I think you had two thoughts ram into each other.  As a Filipina, growing up a better life meant getting a good job, going to school, and eventually having a family.  How is that bad?  We believe that you get what you give.  We help others because we are told that it will ultimately get rewarded by someone doing the same for us.  How is that bad?  Here's an identity for you.  Before you talk about Filipinos and pretend to know Filipinos, live like one.  Grow up as we have.  Until then, don't talk because you think you know, but you really don't.

Poor economically?  Poor in the country of the Phillipines or everywhere?  Your "poorly" posed question will not get you the answer you think it will.  Expound on your question and maybe you'll get a decent answer.  The way you state your question as it is now is insulting to those of Filipino heritage.

If what you mean by unity is that of the Philippines as an "imagined community" then i can tell you filipinos can very well identify themselves as one. As you may see filipinos have close ties and even when in other countries they form so called "Filipino Communities". But then if you speak of unity as having a particular culture that you can pinpoint, well, Filipinos are not like that. The Philippines has rich and diverse culture and history. The Philippines is is politically divided in several regions, and sometimes they tend to be regionalistic. Teodoro Agoncillo's History of the Filipino People would be a big help. (:

I am an Asian too, Proud Indian actually, and have many Filipino friends and acquaintances, and I find them to be very kind and friendly people who have no qualms about taking chances, in every sense of the word. They are very outgoing and open-minded. Their food habits are an acquired taste, I must say, but it grows on you!

I don't know any Turkish people and am not prejudice against them however I see no reason why they should be any more special than the rest of us and be exempt from being prejudice against, my father taught me an important lesson as a child, someone in this world hates you for who you are and if the whole world was christian, and jesus christ himself came down from heaven in front of everyone and you saved his life and found the cure for the common cold, they will still hate you no matter how perfect you are you are filth, sh%t on their shoe is better than you, and this is their miserable problem in their miserable world, not your problem and you dont give a sh%t what ass.holes like that think ever, do not give away your power or accept other people's poison , and my friend you should heed these words of wisdom.
