ahahaha..ulol..ang alam niyo ang na tagalog mabuhay at tska lumpia?ahaha..tang inang mga fil am yan ang yayabang ang mga pota..kainin niyo ung american culture mga bobo sainyo na yan...!!
naging mayabang pa sila. parang tumatayo na nga sila para sa bansa natin. ngayon, sino sa tingin mo mayabang, sila na proud to be pinoy, o ikaw na uneducated?
unshame, there are plenty of Fil-Ams who boast of "Pinoy Pride" but act otherwise. for instance, most Fil-Ams make fun of native Filipinos or how their mom eats Skyflakes and how different "fobs" pronounce words. in this sense, are they really "proud" to be filipino..eto sige maghana ka ng kausap mo tang ina mo ka
not every Fil-Am is proud to be Filipino in its truest sense and if Filipino immigrants want to gain acceptance, they have to do things the "Filipino American" way--lose the accent, have a change of clothes, etc. it's sad, but it's a reality and a reality that i think, needs to be changed.
relax bata.. for your info, I'm a Fil-Am myself, so better watch what you're saying. isa to sa mga Pinoy Pride, hindi isang tulad mo na salot lang sa Pilipinas! like ngayon, tumatayo ko para sa Pilipinas. proud to! hindi isang tulad mo na ibinababa lang mga Pilipino. feeling mo alam mo lahat ng bagay ha. ang baho ng ugali mo! magbago ka na! kung di ka makapagbago, magpapalit ka nalang ng citizenship mo! YOU DONT DESERVE TO BE A FILIPINO! BUWAKINANG INA MO! WAHAHA!!!
Well to a lot of Pilipino Americans, its also a sign of empowerment. So above and beyond what it actually means in terms of language, it is a symbol of heritage and a desire to regain their roots. That is why we use the term "Pilipino" vs the colonial term "Filipino". "Pili" in Tagalog means to choose. So we "choose" to be Pilipino regardless of where we are and where we were born.
Right on, FTSkyhxdie! I agree with you that Tagalog and Pilipino heritage doesnt have as much emphasis in any school or educational system as much as others, eventhough Pilipinos are supposed to be one of the largest asian/pacific islander populations in America.
I'd say Tagalog should be offered in middle/high schools first. Much of our Fi-Am youth here in the U.S. are so ignorant about the culture to the point where they bring shame to it. We don't even have Tagalog classes outside school like the Chinese/Japanese/Koreans do. The Filipino culture is swiftly dying in America. Eh, kinda off-topic from the video, sorry. Anyway, you guys serve a good purpose; good job. I'm proud of you guys for acknowledging your Filipino heritage. Very few do today.
The thing I noticed about Pilipinos in the Philippines is that there is a strong mentality to try to blend Philippine culture with a huge chunk of American culture. Versus the Pilipinos in America who are trying to regain their heritage. I think that is a very good question that can be debated on for hours and hours on end.
Its kind of similar to the question of why Pilipinos in the Philippines are so into skin whitening products, whereas people in America, including Pilipino Americans, are so into tanning their skin and what not. But yeah. In general, its a good question that has many many possible views and perspectives.
unshame, there are plenty of Fil-Ams who boast of "Pinoy Pride" but act otherwise. for instance, most Fil-Ams make fun of native Filipinos or how their mom eats Skyflakes and how different "fobs" pronounce words. in this sense, are they really "proud" to be Filipino? i personally think that this horizontal hostility that makes immigrant Filipinos seemingly ashamed of being one.
not every Fil-Am is proud to be Filipino in its truest sense and if Filipino immigrants want to gain acceptance, they have to do things the "Filipino American" way--lose the accent, have a change of clothes, etc. it's sad, but it's a reality and a reality that i think, needs to be changed.
Ok point taken. I guess we do seem angry. Geez, all of those years trying to get Pilipino studies using "the system," putting in all those hours advocating, organizing and educating our community, and still no real, permanent response from the university.
Maybe we come off too passionate, perhaps this issue seems too important to us.
Who says we're belligerent? Maybe you should do some research on HOW we're actually trying to obtain Tagalog and Pilipino Studies further than a random video you came across on YouTube. So educate yourself first before you judge our methods because you know nothing of them.
You guys look so angry. If you are complaining so much about not having a filipino-anything, then change it using the system. Belligerence will get you the attention you DON'T want. And in case you're wondering, yes I'm a Pilipino.
You might wish to refer to the 4th point she makes that "...Filipino Americans began to use the word "Pilipino" because of the movement of seeking roots in Philippine culture among the Filipinos in America." This is why I said its more of a controversy among Pilipino Americans than anything.
Someone asked me which was more derogatory... "Pilipino" or "Filipino"... Well it's not that one is derogatory and one isnt... its your personal choice which one you use... the word "pilipino" was used to make a better connection to the heritage and for anti-oppresionist views since technically, there is no "F" in Tagalog or any of the languages spoken in the Philippines.
My goodness, I seriously agree! We're the second largest Asian minority and yet we don't see more Pilipino studies classes. Unfortunately I'm a part of that "less than 1/2" that do not speak Tagalog but definitely do see learning the language as essential in keeping in touch with my heritage and would definitely love to see more Tagalog classes around! I'm definitely proud and glad to see these students speak up and bring awareness to this cause!
123cruz91, since this video and page is really dedicated to community and cultural awareness, i suggest you really stop trying to attack what is being presented and educate yourself with the links that were provided in previous comments. then after you're aware of the facts, you can formulate your own opinions about the subject. we are in no way *telling* you how and what to think, but please be aware of the facts before you make critical judgements about other people and their intelligence.
I want to add that I've been seeing a number of Filipinos spell it with the ph. This could be just a regional thing, or it could be a personal preference (ie, spelling it one way just for consistency). The fact of the matter still stands. The Filipino community at UCI and other campuses NEED a permanent Tagalog and Pilipino Studies curriculum. Once a program such as this established, we can start talking about this kind of stuff.
hey there! im actually a filipino born, raised, and still living in the philippines. the language is termed Filipino. Pilipino is also correct. These two terms can be used 2 ways: one--to denote someone who's actually a citizen of the Philippines or who is Filipino/Pilipino by blood..and two--the language. interchangeable terms..no real issue (as far as i know). Pilipino is actually a Filipino term..haha! confusing, noh?
For those who may not see the problem, he was very cocky about the spelling of the word "Pilipino". There is actually a huge controversy and study about the proper spelling of the word due to colonial influence vs actual native origins.
Wait, I don't understand... I know of the controversy involving the spelling - but within the said controversy, "philipino" was never included, unless it was said/written/typed by a stupid person. I thought people were debating on whether it should be "Filipino" or "Pilipino." So wtf is 123cruz91 trying to say?
Filipino is spelled with 'F' not 'P'.

Filipino is the english word for Pilipino (People from Phil. or of Phil. decent)
Pilipino is the Tagalog word for Filipino(People from Phil. or of Phil. decent)
So, you would only use the word Pilipino when writing/speaking in Tagalog.
Pilipino also means Tagalog. Say for example, an American would ask you, are you Filipino? Then you would reply, yes Im Filipino, I speak Pilipino.
.... I think ROFL
