So who are the Filipinos?
here's a one part of the article:
"The Filiipinos themeselves are not always sure how to answer that question, sometimes I think they would rather be somone else than be a Filipino, its funny really because whilst you might think my opinons are subjective, i.e. biased, especially if you are a Filipina or Filipino reading my site, buts that how it comes over to us, in my experience, Filipinos always seem to clamour for something else, and I am not talking about the mass exodus of Filipinos to work in foreign lands, thats accepted and expected, its something else I see in them, in many ways, Filipinos are the one race of people who have a link to the Western world, there heritage is certainly Western in parts, sharing with the peoples of the Americas and Europe its christian ethics and moral guidelines, and yet in other areas, with regard to inter-dependancy their social structure seems to be upside down to ours, I'm not sure sometimes what their identity really is, but can we blame them for that, since Britishness for the indigenous English is also pretty hard to define, what does it mean to be British these days, I would have a hard time answering that one, thats if of course I would be allowed to tell you."
