philippine

It's THE adjective. "Filipino" is a proper noun, "philippine" is its adjective. It's common misconception to use "filipino" as adjective and instead of "philippine".

"I love philippine food!" and NOT "I love filipino food!"

r/Philippines

An echo chamber of various leftists (wokes, yellowtards/pinktards, socialists, and communists) from the Philippines, primarily containing anti-government sentiment when it comes to political and socio-cultural issues. While prior to 2016 during the election of current President Rodrigo Duterte, it is known to have a relatively fair and normal discussion when it comes to almost any Philippines-related topic, otherwise obscure from the general population due to the lack of interest from mainstream media outlets such as ABS-CBN or GMA-7. But ever since the president's administration began, it has sharply slanted itself as a forum for users with anti-government and opposition sentiment, even to the point of becoming an echo chamber due to the massive downvoting of challenging or pro-government views. This has been further proven by the admin's obvious leftist bias judging from the background color and profile pic.

willful Philistinism

Being proud of enjoying something that is frowned upon by the cultural elite.

"Call me a willful Philistine, but I think McDonald's has the best french fries bar none!"

"I know I'm a music snob, but I love Britney Spears. That's my willful Philistinism."

Example of willful Philistinism: "I may not know art, but I know what I like."

Philippines

A beautiful country southeast of China. It's a melting pot of western and eastern cultures. Although many people hate on the Philippines, that's unjustified becuase they're just there to look around. you have to live there to know the def. Filipinos (it's spelled with an F) are very religious, respectful, humble and hospitable people. WE are very classy and have great success when brought into the world stage. Big things that came out of the Philippines:

-Lea Salonga, singer and actress. Currently working at Broadway and sang for the Mulan soundtrack.

-Karaoke. The inventor was Filipino, but the Japanese popularized it

-Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran. Miss Universe winners. These women made a point to the world that the Philippines is home to beautiful people

-Fluorescent Lights. Invented by a filipino named Flores but the plans were sold to the French. FLUORESent. much like FLORES.

-Lydia de Vega, fastest woman in Asia

-the Marcoses. Yeah, Imelda and Ferdinand themselves.

-the moon buggy. The main idea of a moon buggy was created by a Filipino

-Manny Pacquiao. Best bocer pound-by-pound. Straight out of Gen San.

-Economical and miltary strategically located.

-we can speak english...so well that when we go to America, we only have to be in English transition classes for 2 weeks

-Paeng Nepomuceno. Greatest bowler.

-gorgeous beaches and forests

-great products, crops and such

tourist: I think western countries should envy the Philippines...it's a friggin paradise for intelectuals and beauties!
