Growing up I was always called "tisay" a slang for mestiza meaning a mixed filipino to be exact I am chinese mestiza.
Living in Canada for 6 years I have learned to truly love who I am. I am proud to say I am FILIPINO just look at my nose no denying LOL
Most of the time I am mistaken to be chinese and I always correct them I AM FILIPINO.
There is a lot of stereotyping about Filipinos and I always tell ignorant people that it doesn't mean another JUAN did that, I am like that too.
I always share my culture to other people yes the good and the bad. I don't pretend that my country is ALRIGHT but what I'm really proud of being Filipino is we know how to smile and laugh GENUINELY.
If money and pride is not a problem for me I will undoubtedly pack my bag and live in the Philippines.
I see people wearing the 3 stars and a sun products but do they even know the real meaning of this?
Being Filipino is not through your physical appearance but of the HEART.
