Why be ashamed to be called Filipino/pinoy . The Philippines and the people of today are the mere products of the time and can identify ourselves differently from other asian neighbors . Our long history and contact with europeans is nonetheless something that molded us uniquely our own and should be standing proud of . <br><br>I noticed some posters here ashamed to be called themselves Filipinos .<br>Where does that point of shame come from ? I can understand there is some of us living with a culture if blame .Typical isn't it ? Blaming our own misfortunes as caused by somebody else and not owning up our very own mistakes. In 1950 - 60's after independence our economy were ahead of Japan ,but soon after it was plummeting down to miserable state to date . Was it again all due to Spain ? Wasn't it influneced by and large the same typical pinoy psyche of ningas cogon , pakikisama ,nepotism ,' kamag-anak system 'and 'me ,me me ,me ' eccentric greedy plonkers and putting them into office without a thought , and most of it our mistakes in the making ,choosing the wrong leaders incapable of making the right decisions to lead this country to success .<br><br>What if not being colonize by Spain ,and not named filipinos . <br>Will we be fliying high with the first world?Not being rude ,but I think the Taliba group's arguments is too far beyond my comprehension of what is sensible .Regarding Lapu-lapu as a national hero ?I must be mad ,if i ever agree of him as one. No way .Isn't he and his followers just similar to the ravaging murderous Abu Sayaff or MINLF of today ? I am even worried to set foot to the lovely Mindanao incase I be caught in cross fires and kidnapping. Wow and Lapu-lapu a hero ,jeeezzz . If I do change my lines and believed it , send me to mental rehab pls.negrenseThu, 17 Jul 2008 10:54:05 -0000http://pinoytattoos.disqus.com/pinoytattooscom_latest_posts_widget_pinoytattooscom_filipino_tattoo_source/#comment-1229632Wow ,those tattoos are really impressive ,a real work of art /design and a great skill .Well done ,keep it up !negrenseThu, 17 Jul 2008 11:08:21 -0000
