What is a Pinoy?

This page is created to encourage comments from readers about your ideas on Pinoys. How do we define or identify to the culture. What is it like to be a Pinoy.

Thanks for your contribution...

BTW, saw this youtube video about being able to tell to if someone is a Pinoy, here is part of the list:

  • Cupboard has vienna sausage, spam, and corned beef.
  • Tabo (dipper) in the bathroom.
  • Santo Nino figure in the living room.
  • Picture or image of the Last Supper in the dining room.
  • Karaoke machine, a good one at that.
  • Piano, baby grand at that.
  • Nothing is readily available to eat in the fridge.
  • Patis or bagoong in the pantry.

Sa kahahanap ko ng recipe ng pinoy, nadaanan ko ang mga sites ng kapwa pinoy. Magaling silang magsulat, ramdam ko ang kanilang hinaing, ang galit sa kanilang puso. Nakapagtatakang detach ako sa kanilang mga hinaing.  Not that I am assuming a higher than though air, maybe I have seen too much, that I am numb from it all.. hay naku..

In a deeper perspective, Pinoy's have gone through coonizations, influences sometimes mired by abuse from foreign hands and from trusted leaders.  But they come out of it smiling and raring to discover the world.
