FILIPINO ANCESTRY
The people of the Philippines are called Filipinos. Our ancestor, who were of Malay stock, came from the Southeastern Asian mainland as well as from what is now Indonesia. From the 10th century, contacts with China resulted in a group of mixed Filipino-Chinese descent who account for a minority of the our population. Culturally, the Philippines is the most Westernized country in Asia, a legacy of over three centuries of Spanish and American colonial rule. Filipino culture has taken a Latin and Catholic flavor from Spain, which ruled the country for centuries. Most Filipinos are distinguishable from other Asians by having a Hispanic and Hispanic-sounding name and/or surname (see: Catálogo alfabético de apellidos), by practicing the Catholic religion, and by speaking Spanish[dubious – discuss] and English. Spanish-Filipinos and Filipino-American may be distinguished by their fairer complexion, taller stature, and aquiline nose structure. The relatively small numbers of migrants from the Indian subcontinent added to the population's racial mixture. The aboriginal inhabitants of the islands were the Negritos, or Phymies, also called Aaetas or Balugas; they now constitute only a small percentage of the total population.

COMMON CHARACTERISTICS
Regarding the Filipino male, Dr Lapis states that ‘the ego-ideal for men is that of one who is cool, cautious, inoffensive, pleasant, relaxed to the point of being rather easygoing, incapable of anger except when his amor-propio ... is provoked. His masculinity is definitely and emphatically regarded as intrinsic to this narcissism (self-esteem). Of this masculinity he is quite conscious and proud, and will emphasize it in many subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Outside of this ego-ideal, the Filipino male may appear to some, and in particular to foreigners, as not being masculine enough. He tends to be fastidious about his appearance, particularly his hair and clothes, to have soft and graceful movements. With strangers and in some unfamiliar situations, he may tend to say very little and act even less, which is the antithesis of the American male’s tendency to quickly state his identity and give his opinion. The Filipino will be quiet and will strive to be inoffensive in situations where an American would feel obliged to be more vociferous.’
‘In American culture, parents force autonomy upon their offspring at an early age with early severance of dependency ties. It is not unusual, for example, to see young people with moneyed parents working in order to have money of their own. In the Philippines, if a boy has parents with money, it hardly occurs to him to work. Sons are expected to grow up loyal to their parents, look after them, help younger siblings and generally be unselfish.
THE NORMS
The usual cultural norm for masculinity is firstly, the ability to perform sexual intercourse and secondly, freedom from marital controls in a man’s activities.’ The first criterion is measured by the number of children a man has, which is why large families are preferred in the Philippines. A large number of offspring is evidence of a man’s virility. It also explains why a man will have children by his mistress.
The second norm is one that every Filipino husband strives to give an impression of, for fear of being called ‘under the saya’— henpecked. This threat is real because Filipino wives are very dominant and, though they may appear quiet and submissive before others, are very skilful in manipulating their husbands to get what they want. Because the wife runs the household, she considers it her territory and the husband does not have much say in household issues. He gives his opinion only when consulted and even then his recommendations may not be followed. Thus, the Filipino husband concentrates on being a good provider for his wife and children.the MODERN PINOYS
Men now have a more holistic view on beauty and know that to look good naturally is not enough. They have to work at looking good and feeling good,” King said.Fortunately, Filipino men are not so difficult to turn on to beauty products because they have always been into good hygiene. We would rather not talk to other men about beauty and grooming products and are more comfortable talking about their routine with women.
Modern Pinoys today still posses the virtue of being respectful. When he see's the elders or a lady standing in the bus, he would offer his seat to them. Gentleness, especially during courtships and dating. Even being tagged as "baduy" or " bakya" , being romantic is the best (I think) way of a Pinoy to get his girl. He would still find time writing poems and loveletters to someone who means so much. Being married to a Filipino or a falling into relationships could be a good idea, simply because "we always try to treat the lady right."

WAIT WHAT
How can they "treat the lady right" when they are having children with their mistress? Or was that the old filipinos? That's horrible! So do Modern filipinos still do that? The most important thing you can ever do to treat the lady right is, first and foremost, be faithful to her!
I'm a Proud Filipino UNDER THE SAYA
WIVES rocks
If that is true, orchard, about one man in a million treat their women right, and that applies to men in the united States and probably all over the world. The guys in the video were cut. Men are not monogomous creatures; never have been, and never will be. As long as they are only friends they are fun, and great. All this tryinig to control somebody else is a waste of time, so why bother. Just enjoy the smiles and have them as friends.
in general, filipino men are pampered. they are the "king" in the house and they expect their wives to serve them. sadly, many women do work outside while the men stays home, jobless. this trait i think were inherited from the spanish. in short, filipino men are weaklings. most are unfaithful husbands, corrupt in the workplace, lazy and can't support a family. no wonder the country is what it is now. don't they boast of being the only christian country in the far east? this is what they say but what they do is another thing. so sad, indeed.
Hey. I read your article and I think it's so true! My boyfriend is Filipino and he's the sweetest! I really like him and he makes me smile all the time. I do get nervous around him though because I PREFER to wear pants, but only for him will I wear skirts and dresses because I want to look pretty for him. He loves his little brother and his little brother is polite too, though he is mischevious. His mother is the dominant one in the family, she is the only female and looks so quiet and nice, but I think all three of them are scared of her. I get along with his mom though. :) I feel guilty because both of us aren't allowed to date yet, but we secretly go out. We don't get to see each other often because we are always bust and go to different schools. We only see each other on Sundays at church and even then, it's not like we can hug, hold hands, kiss, or anything. My birthday just passed and he doesn't know, but I wanted to go on a date with him(we could tell our parents we were going out as friends), but he was busy and when he was free, I became busy. I feel bad because he is getting treated like this by me, but he still stays with me. I feel as if I owe him something, but I really like him. A few days ago, we were talking on the phone and he told me he loved me and I couldn't help, but say it back. He's really amazing! I think that filipino men are awesome because of him. I like mostly asian men, but the ones I have like previous to him were all....assholes, basically. But I do agree with you. :D LADIES, IF YOU WANT A GOOD ASIAN MAN, GO WITH A FILIPINO GUY! THEY WILL TREAT YOU RIGHT!
My best friend is filipino. I have alot of filipino friends and i love the islands. I am a christian living in TX. I am a hispanic and a single girl but i have always wanted a filipino man as my boyfriend ever since i got introduced to the island cultures when i joined the Army. so yeah i would eventually like to fins a good looking christian filipino or someone from the islands to be my man. just because i know how sweet and loving they can be. I'm going to the philippines this summer with my school so good luck to me lol maybe i'll find one. ;)
The only good filipino is a dead one.
Having a mistress is the only freedom a Filipino husband gets. The wife is the head of the household. Filipina women are very dominant. The wife controls all the money. The husband is expected to work hard and give all the money to the wife. He is considered lucky if his wife chooses to share some money with him. Husbands in the Philippines are treated badly. They have no rights to the children. The children don't have to respect him. The wife does all the raising of the children and the husband has no say in how to bring up the child. It is a wonder why Filipino men would even want to get married.

Jack Bennet, you must be BUTT-HURT by the fact that your girlfriend/wife cheated on you with a Filipino guy! SUCK ON THAT LOSER! :D
I was hurt by one, very badly. He told me he was getting divorced and wanted to date me. Turns out the Filipino guy was slandering his wife quite horribly and was trying to have an affair with me. When she found out what he was up to, the coward painted me as a stalker and a liar to cover his own @ss.
Be careful. They don't always treat you right.
yo man, I don't know Jack Bennet. But I do know what Filipinos are like. 95 percent of the Philippinine people are no good. So we might as well say that the only good Filipino is a dead one.
Yo John, i have to disagree with you and Jack Bennet. maybe the reason you think most Filipinos are horrible is because you've encountered only certain Filipino individuals with less than appealing dispositions. It's the same principle with any race/group. It's hard to get a good feel of it if you haven't seen the whole picture.
i totally agree wth you LOU.
I'm a Filipino. There are some parts that I don't agree in this article.
There are liberal Filipinos out there who tend to get all the girls and getting hooked up with it.
I'm an Agnostic Filipino though I still respect the Christian religion.
Its hard to find good girls these days because the media is brainwashing them that getting into clubs are cool and get laid after.
I have a Filipina girlfriend last year and then lately I notice that she hooked up with a liberal Filipino. sucks.
"Gabby" please contact me. thanx
Fillipeanos are beautiful people and the men are so charming and gentleman like :)
filipino men are indeed lovely...
The world would be a much better place if a typhoon would completely destroy the Philippines and all those rotten Philippine people.
filipino are a joke, they are sneaky and sly. not good dating material for a white women......they just want a chick on the side for a fuck and then their filipina wifes....it's true. so be warned! its simply mind games and bullshit
