yes they maybe half Filipino's but a least they have the pride to admit there heritage. What I hate the most are those who say , oh im Spanish or im Hawaiian or those who spend a few weeks or years overseas and come back to the Philippines acting as if they have forgotten there native tongue. makes me f*ckin sick.
This is supposed to be a reply for xmlwiz2k at this thread. The guy has a point.
Filipinos are so achievement conscious abroad because we have so little to celebrate here our own land. Philippine media always ahev a way of finding a Half-Filipino achiever abroad and ride with them.
Take for example the case of BATISTA. After Pinoys found that he is half Filipino, They cheered, "Pinoy si batista.. woohoo"... ei, having a Philippine Flag Tattooed on his arm doesn't mean he is a Filipino... He's not! the breading is purely western.
Another one is Dennis Rodman... Man that guy is so American... And yet, since one of his parents is Filipino, we cheered! "Pinoy si Dennis". That makes us look dumber even more.
I tell you this, if there's someone that is legit to celebrate with, it's Manny and Efren and Lani.
We are only fooling ourselves, believing that Half-Filipino achievers are Filipino achievers abroad. Come on they are not living here in our beautiful country and they are not spending money and paying Filipino taxes like we do... Now, How can they be Filipinos. Don't be fooled when they say, "I really love adobo..." They all love adobo because maybe, that's the only one they know.
Yes we may say. Eh, kasi, Mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ng mga Pinoy. Well, that is not always a good thing.
