It is known that Filipinos are influenced by few colonizers, most notably, Spaniards, Americans, Chinese, Indians and Japanese. As a result, there is not really something one can call to be uniquely Filipino, or at least something that's known the world over. Take for instance, is Philippines' ADOBO as well-known as Japs' SUSHI and SASHIMI or Italy's SPAGHETTI ? Take another example, can you associate BOXING to the Philippines as how most people associate MUAY THAI KICKBOXING to Thailand? Of course the answer is no, since boxing never started at all in the Philippines, right? By far, I say, our greatest contribution perhaps to the world, is MANNY PACQUIAO's success which I say will not be as lasting as what CHINESE have shared to the world: Feng Shui, Chopsticks, Bruce Lee, the omnipresent Chinese Food, ChinaTowns in most metropolis, and hundreds of others. India is far better, KAMA SUTRA, for a short time, became known to people worldwide. Filipinos, wake up!

Filipinos are Asians too. I am a Filipino and I remember myself as an Asian. Oftentimes, I have while I am requested of my ethnicity or race, Asian is the typical time period for folks residing in international locations in Asia Pacific.

REACTIONS:
sickskillz883: lumpia, adobo, dinuguan, name it!! and try some
doctorhector: yeah i agree
Chuck E Coli: brave???
onheadphones: learn more about asian or world history with focus on 'peopling'. Filipinos are not pacific islanders and they dont' insist the asian identity. Being asian is just tagged on them. it's not their fault to be called asian. Just treat them as filipino ok!
AlisonJonshon:
Japanese became rich when they robbed the wealth of the Philippines in world War II. They took their golds and turn theminti gold bars and sent to Japan.
Are Singaporeans educated?? i thought they are confused of themselves being malay, indian and chinese at the same time. thank you for the information anyway.
Filipino dont have such claim as being 'wow' coz they are Spanish blooded . I know you want to have one but unfortunately destiny and history dont' chose you, (meaning, your insecurity.) Filipinos are wow because they know how to respect by calling you mam or sir.
alright mam!!

How about they all wear T-shirts that "I am Filipino! So sit down and shut up!"
That would them more distinguishable right away. But you have to get them ALL to do it.
Either that or they cure cancer.
One thing is true. They fought very hard aagainst Japan in WW II. They distinguished themselves as very brave people! That is plenty for me, how about you?

grow up mate. Maybe you can start doing better when you all stop calling people: mam & sir.
Her is a few ideas &suggestion:
1. Be a rich country like Japan
2. Be educated like Singaporeans
3. Stop thinking that ur race r so wow. Though there r some mix blood from Spain, not all of you are mix blood. Get over it

They already are distinguishable. They're the only Asian group that so desperately tries to pass themselves off as "pacific islanders" even though they're not.
