@creampie98 haha, judging from the tone of spite, manner of saying and number of times he posts comments here, methinks this RingSight91 dude is trying to make up for something that is inherently short in him. Halata eh. halos lahat dito kinokorek nya eh. siguro maliit ang pototoy kaya nagpa-power trip dito sa mundo ng mga anonymus.

@migsluck1 I think it's important to have a cultural consciousness that you have. As you know, the Phillipines is set up just like any other Hispanic country, the mixed ones like Imelda Marcos run the show. Everyone else wants to be like them so they won't start revolutions for a new regime. Then, there's a foreign power always meddling in internal affairs-Spain, Japan, USA, etc..I hope people like you have tons of children so a better Phillipines can emerge.

@Microglia1 That's what happens in a country whose racial/cultural/national identity has been stripped from them through colonization. The country goes through a period of confusion and economic meltdown. Like bastard orphaned children looking for their past. A harsh parallel but it's the truth. The Philippines will rebound in time and I know this. Hopefully, we'll go as far as to changing our name. We are not Spanish and King Philip no longer owns us. My country will rise again.

"The most beautiful philipinos are those of Spanish blood." Sad.

@migsluck1 Sadly, many are not like you. When I meet a philo the first thing they tell me is that they're 25%,50%,75% of whatever Spanish mixed they are.

@Microglia1 The history is there and it's quite rich. You just have to dig through all the bullshit our colonizers have covered it with.

@djcanuto0500 Holy shit! Yes, they did. The Battle of Manilla, Feb 1945, the Americans heavily bombed the city and the Japanese marines under Iwabuchi, who defied orders to retreat, did the rest. A massacre. Second most destroyed city in ww2. Of course, I can't imagine the hell that created, but the comment about the prospect of a generation of beautiful American and Spanish mixed babies being denied by the Japanese occupation, unlike Hong Kong, I think warrants my point.
