Question

well zero. Indians and Pakistani's..there is no difference at all. It was one country before called Hindustan. But separated in two in 1947. We only differ from religion. But the culture and food is more or less the same. Some people say that the pakistani's have a lighter complection.

Answer 1

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Chinese: Closely related to Tibetan and Mongolian. Essentially Asian.
WESTERNIZATION
Filipino: Their culture is considered heavily Americanized and Europeanized.
Chinese: They had a long civilization which is markedly known for its independence from outside cultural influences. Present-day Chinese still tend to live in the shadows of their glorious past.

Answer 2

chinese people generally have a lighter complexion than most filipinos and they have smaller eyes. my mom is half Filipino and half Chinese so we celebrate both January 1 New Year and the Chinese New year too. We have different rituals when it comes to our deceased family members, as we follow the chinese tradition when it comes to that. I think Filipinos and Chinese are similar in a lot of ways already since a lot of Chinese people have been living there in the Philippines for a while now. Chinese people though (based on my friends' families) have more stricter beliefs when it comes to marriage, and partying, but aside from that, I don't think there's a lot of other differences. I'm pretty much a fusion of both cultures too! =)

Answer 3

When you say " Chinese " are you even remotely aware that there is more genetic diversity in China then in all of europe ? That is like saying what is the differance between Phil and Europe. And all the the answers i read here just tell me how little all the people who have answered really know about China.

Answer 4

I can't speak for the Chinese in China dahling, but as for the Filipino-Chinese here, I may enlighten you a little bit.

Since they've been here for so long, at times you can't tell the difference between a Filipino and a Filipino-Chinese unless they have those features that the other answerers have described above. As for culture, a lot of them have been "Filipinized" already but there are still some sectors that hold onto their traditions. As Filipinized as they can be, when it comes to birthdays or weddings, some of them integrate the traditions of both cultures dahling.

As for the Filipino side of things, Felicity's and Japs' answers are very informative.

Pardon me now as I direct this part to someone else, my clonebot.

Don't I look tasty dahling *lick* (Don't use dila, He is pakistani, he doesn't understand Tagalog dahling). Comprendez vous?

Answer 5

As a Filipino I can only give you some cultural hints in the Philippines. <*-*>

We Filipinos are also passionate, warm and hospitable. We love food, love life and romance. The Philippines is a passion play writ large and nowhere is this more evident than in the hundreds of fiestas and religious ceremonies that are held every year.

Filipinos are also outgoing people who are not afraid to ask personal questions and certainly don't consider it rude.
Then be prepare to be interrogated by everyone you meet. Some of my fellow Filipinos will want to know where you are from, why you are in the Philippines, how old you are, whether you are married, if not why not and so on and so forth. We pride ourselves on our hospitality and are always ready to share a meal or a few drinks. Don't offend us by refusing outright.

A sense of 'delicadeza' is also important to us Filipinos. This is what you might refer to as propriety, a simple sense of good behaviour, particularly in the presence of elders or women. Some of my fellow Filipinos who don't speak good in English will often answer any question you ask them with a smile and a nod. Be careful: a smile and a nod doesn't always mean "yes". It can also mean "no", "maybe" or "I have no idea what you are talking about". Don't be offended if everyone in the provinces thinks you are a 'kano'. or somebody will cheerfuly greet you like 'Hi,Joe!'. American people left its mark on the national psyche, Protestations that you are from Britain, France or Australia will often be greeted with the response, "Is that in America?"

It's not advisable to lose your temper in the Philippines. We Filipinos hate to be embarrassed in front of others and our culture of revenge is strong, so you might end up being the one that is sorry.

The national dish , if there is one, is adobo, which is either chicken or pork, or both, cooked in soy and vinegar. At special celebrations Filipinos are passionate about their lechon, roasted pig stuffed with pandan leaves and cooked so the skin turns to crackling. Lechon de leche is roasted suckling pig. Fish dishes are also good, although fish is fresher in the provinces than it is in Manila. The king of Filipino aphrodisiacs is the balut, a half-formed duck embryo eaten with beak, feathers and all. You can buy balut from street vendors who advertise their proximity with a distinctive baying cry.

The beer of choice in the Philippines is San Miguel, but with meals many Filipinos tend to stick to soft drinks such as iced tea. Fresh buko (coconut) juice is a refreshing alternative on a hot day. If you fancy something stronger there are plenty of cheap Philippine-made spirits such as Tanduay rum and San Miguel Ginebra (gin). For something authentically native, try the strong and pungent Tapuy (rice wine). <*-*>

Answer 6

They are as different as apple and pear. However, since early days Cinese had been settling in Philippines and inter-racial marriages are not uncommon. Plus the fact that Philippines had beenn colonised by the Spanish and American before, so, their way of life had been influenced.

You can find out much on Lonely Planet or Wikipedia.

Answer 7

Chinese
mostly Buddhists
most have slanted eyes
eat with chopsticks
speak Mandarin or Cantonese


Filipino
mostly catholics
only some have slanted eyes
eat with spoon and fork
speak Tagalog & English

They are both Asians but their culture have more differences than similarities.

Answer 8

because the chinese & the filipinos have been trading with each other for over 500 years, you can see a number of chinese influences in the country (words, customs, clothes, descendants, etc.).

but if you know alot about the chinese people & culture, the typical filipino will probably not be anything like them. & some will throw you off as a lot of filipinos are of mixed descent & have lived, worked & travelled all over the world.

because of this, they have been exposed to almost all cultures of the world & also because foreigners from all parts of the world have come & stayed in the country (yes there are also a number of people from your country, from india, from the middle east, & many others who call the philippines their home)

but, in a nutshell filipinos are unique in that they are closer to their malay brothers (in malaysian, thailand, or indonesia) in looks as they are all in the same race group. they also share some common words, customs & traditions.

but being under spanish rule for 300 years, they also share common bonds, traditions, food, & temperaments with the spaniards and the hispanics. most enjoy hispanic telenovelas (& speak basic spanish) & now (so i heard) also korean telenovelas.

a majority are roman catholics & believe in God.

but if you are to look at them closely, the typical filipino might be more american than some americans (almost all of the country's signs and ads are in english & they read, watch & listen to all the latest american books, films, tv shows, stage plays, concerts & music)--all this because the country was under US rule for what, 50 years or so. japan has also some influence in the country for they ruled the country for about 5 years.

all in all, most filipinos would be at home in los angeles, new york, san francisco, madrid, rome, london, sydney, hawaii, singapore, hong kong, tokyo & some other major city than in another city where they haven't been to in the philippines

so if you are to ask me, filipinos are a breed of their own... come visit & see for yourself.
