Three points:
1. The Philippines is NOT a messed up country. You think they look down on people of other countries? No, they actually look up to them.
2. If you want to know an unbiased account of what the Philippines is, go to Wikipedia. If you only want to bash the Philippines, be my guest and go add a definition.
3.If you want the real definition for "Philippines" you can actually go there and ask the local people what they think it means.
The Philippines is a country with it's ups and downs just like any other country. So quit bashing specific countries and learn to love 'em.

Get the Phillipino Flapjack mug.The Philippines is a home of family-oriented people. Also home of people who love to laugh. Wether it's war or they're having a miserable life, they'll find time to laugh. Also a home of poeple who love exotic dining such as bloatfish (which are deadly and poisonous), isaw or animal intestines, balut or slightly-matured duck eggs and many more.
AND, the pople in the Philippines are very hygenic. Except maybe people living in squatters' area. But it's not often that you visit a country where people take a bath once or twice a day and some even three times. And, they use pails and water rather than tissue paper because it is much CLEANER. Using water is MUCH cleaner rather than using tissue paper becaused more bacteria is left and you cannot clean thoroughly.

Get the philippines mug.My mom's home country.
The Philippines was discovered by Magellan in the late 1500s for King Philop of Spain, until Magellan wore out his welcome in the Philippines and got his ass cut off and died from the natives. The Philippines is really named after the king of Spain, was also colonized by Spain at one time then later it was taken over by the Americans. Then during World War II the Japanese took control. The Philippines is also the only nation in most of Asia to be Chirstain and have a mix of many different types of cultures. The Philippines is also known to be the "Peral of the Orient."
A place I want to visit someday as soon as this War on Terrorism is over.

Get the Philippines mug.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).
