A land of VERY attractive women.

A unisex term referring to a person or persons of ethnic descent originating from the Republic of the Philippines.

Pilipino refers to a person born in the Philippines. Filipino refers to a person not born in the Philippines, but of Philippine ethnicity.

This delineation is due to the fact that there is no phonetic equivalent of the letter 'F' in any of the Philippine Islands’ indigenous languages. Spaniards who named the Philippine Islands after King Phillip II (Las Islas Filipinas) had such a sound in their language. The closest phonetic sound inhabitants in the Philippines could use was ‘P.’

Hence, people Philippine-born refer to themselves as Pilipino (they even write it as ‘Pilipino’), while those born outside the Philippines (e.g. the United States) refer to themselves as Filipino (or Filipino-American in the above case).

Brown, proud, slick, fast, smart, hard-working, caring, loving and sincere people originating from the Philippines.

This is a response to qiuwp's definition

1.SOME filipino's are lazy. (Assuming your american) The morbid obesity in your nation is worse than about 7% of filipino's being lazy

2. We don't think ALL foreigners are rich

3.If you think our language is annoying, listen to that "slang" crap and see what's more annoying

4.Filipino women marry old people because they actually have feelings for 'em. It's unlikely for there to be more divorces in the philippines than in the U.S.

5.It's not our fault we're poor, blame the government. We don't think we're better than other asian countries. You're just a stereotypical 12 year old whose mom is as stupid as Jar Jar Binks

6. There are more people dropping out of school in america than in the philippines. Sure, we have alot of fun, but we put it in the right place and the right time

7. If UP ain't the one of the best universities in the world, why do alot of koreans/chinese people come here to study?

8. Yeah, were short, so what?

9. The worlds fastest talker is in the US dumbass

10. Wannabe's? We copy the shows but we pay the copyrights

11.Other languages do that too, you know.

12.Yeah, we eat meat and rice alot. At least we're not fatties who stay in their beds all day

A Filipino is one who can trace his or her heritage to a 7,100 island archipelago between the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It was a race who were in a land invaded by the Spaniards, Japanese and Americans but later gained their freedom through force or politics. It can be a proud race who become successful migrants here in the United States.

A filipino is someone who originates from the Philippines.
Theyre basically, a huge mix of Asian with Spanish. Most don't have chinky eyes, most are big, and very pretty. Filipinos are VERYVERYVERY family oriented. (i'm gonna start saying 'we' cause i'm filipino.) we have a family party for EVERYONES birthday, and everyone always comes. aunts. uncles. cousins. second cousins.
Filipinos usually have Med-sized houses - small, but boy, if you take a look at their bank accounts, we probably have more than you. Filipinas are most likely Registered Nurses! We're NOTNOTNOT lazy. and person who said we type from 10-20 wpm, i type at 122 WPM, so bettch, please.
We like our rice. Rice is our best friend.
We DONT eat with chopsticks. We either eat with our bare hands, or use a combination with a spoon and fork. If you're a right hand, put the spoon in your right hand. put it facing sideways on your plate, so the scoop side is facing you, not up. down, or the other way. use your fork, to push whatevers in front of it, onto the spoon.
We have really good foods, as people ALWAYS tell me.
We're known for our fricken LOUDNESS. we're loud, its great. i dont wanna have a family who's fricken quiet as hell. whats the fun in that.
We buy whatever we want. if we like it, we buy it. who cares about the price. Not all filipinos are short, dumbbbassssseeeeeesss. i'm 5'7. sure most are short. but. there are alot of tall ones too. filipinas are usually pretty, and filipino boys are... ok...

Filipinos are people from the Philippines who are HELL AWESOME. maybe were not a super rich country but we love our country a LOT. and i LOVE the food in the philippines it taste AMAZING!!! :D and the places here like palawan, boracay are really nice, and very relaxing. Filipino are super "bait"(kind). They will always help you. I have Filipino friends and they tell jokes and try to make you smile when you couldn't. Sometimes we speak tanglish, and its fun. Its like reflex to speak tanglish. Filipinos are just normal people who are fucking awesome and are the best. Who the fuck cares if Filipinos are short? or brown. Filipinos are just as good as any of you people.
