I'm really proud of being a Filipino. We moved here in California last year though. ;(
A lot of people were asking me what I was and where I came from. Well, I surely and proudly said I was Filipino. They were interested and some of my friends here are going to visit the Philippines at summer.
And yeah. About our Culture and History. I studied there until sixth grade and I almost know all of the Philippines' history. And also I roamed the whole Philippines and saw all of my other kababayan's culture.
That's why I'm not shy of being Filipino. :)

I'm proud to be Pinoy... always have, always will.
Yung nga lang, the greater majority of our fellowmen live below the poverty line. Given the fact that a lot of things are going wrong in the way our country is run, and a lot are literally starving badly, it's quite hard nga naman how to continue being proud of who we are if we were in their shoes.
To all of us who are still proud of being Pinoys, sama natin sa ating pagiging proud our country men who may have lost hope in our race in the face our trying times.

I am proud of being a Filipino.
And my pride in being one does not rest with just utterances of words.
It is why it is quite important for me as a filipino to know our heritage, to know the part of our culture that we should be proud of and the deficiencies that we must strive to correct or improve on. It is only with complete knowledge of ourselves, of our culture, and our country, or, anywhere near it, can we counter any attack or insult on our being.
And so, I say Mabuhay to the Filipinos who take pride in being Filipinos!

It's really a pity for people who are not proud of what they are made of..
But it is a good thing to know that there are many "proud to be Filipino" here in YA..<;
Just hope that there are many proud to be Pinoy in other parts of the country as well..<;

You know i have traveled to many countries and all seem to be proud of their country but not many are as proud of their culture as in Phil. Sure they will complain about this and that but most are VERY proud of Phil. As a foreigner I learned that if a Philippino is complaining to just listen and nod my head and say nothing as it seems to be their right only and they will be very offended if it done buy a foreigner ! One told me you have to EARN the right to complain by living there rather than just visiting for a few monthes every year ! Perhaps he was right ?

its only the people who left the Philippines and lives in another country that think they are better than everyone else just because they make more money than the people in the Philippines. Im not saying all but i know a lot of people who denies they are Filipino and make fun of FOBs (fresh off the boats). i hate those kind of people. It doesnt make them better just because they been in the states longer.
this topic makes me mad. sorry

Yeah I know, Most Filipinos have western 1stnames like Michael,Jenny,Michelle,Robert instead of naming their kids native Filipino names like Mutya,Alunsina,Makisig,Bayani and Dakila. No Filipino can speak straight Tagalog now.
It's sad that the colorful culture is being killed by westernization.

Just renounced my Filipino citizenship couple of months ago but no one can take away the FILIPINO PRIDE in me - in my mind, in my heart, in my soul!
To those who lost the Pinoy Pride, they just got a twisted sense of nationalism or none at all.
