are we FILIPINO are ASIANS or WAT???

[alt+nick]

teka muna mga boys.. ano ibig sabihin ng "OT"? haha. [di ko alam e]

@alt+nick
sigi kuya nick, simulan mo na... kahit anu. para hindi na natin magulo ang thread na ito.

OT = off-topic. pwede ring on-topic. pero mas tama na off-topic kasi kung may topic naman talaga, bakit kailangan mo pang i-indicate na on-topic ka. maliban na lang kung spammer ka at nagpasya kang hindi mang-spam at gusto mong ipaalam sa publiko na magpopost ka on-topic.


ikaw na lang greens. suportahan kita!

filipinos are asian!

[kalamantutay]

base sa mga tinatanggap kong kaalaman, confusing talaga kung asyano ba tayo.  kasi kung sa geograpiya, asyano talaga tayong maituturing, pero, kung hindi na geograpiya ang titingnan, mas malaki ang porsyentong maari tayong mabilang na kanluranin. bakit? unang-una, ang pormal na edukasyon sa pilipinas ay sinimulan at pinatatag ng mga kanluranin nating mananakop: amerikano, kastila. pati mga teoryang pinag-aaralan natin sa arkitektura, sikolohiya, etc. eh nagmula din sa kanila. ngayon, bakit ko naman naisip na gawing basehan ang pagpapatatag nila ng edukasyon? kasi, sa edukasyon, ang kaisipan ang minamanipula nila. so anong naging epekto? yung paraan ng pag-iisip natin ay kahawig na ng paraan ng pag-iisip natin. kaya nga, pinanganak ang 'colonial mentality'

ang next na topic sa forum: are we totally westernized? o.o

we are definitely more 'western' than our neighboring countries... mas intact kasi ang original cultures nila kesa satin like malaysia or indonesia samantalang tayo 2nd language ang english at centuries under western rule.

BUT that doesn't stop us from being asians.

pambihira! of course geographically speaking yes. but it doesnt mean to say that our culture is westernized. and its not. in totality we filipinos are still asians as regards to the way f thinking and character, we are way way asians, specifically filipinos. and its evident if u go on other western places.

but you cannot deny that most of our 'culture' are adopted from the westerns.. and that doesn't add up

^well, we were under their influence for most of our recorded history. you can't get away from that...
