I'm filipino and I've got to say that I animus it. We are not big like the black people, we don't have nice eyes like the white people, and even worst we are not even the top dogs of asia like China or Japan. We never won any olympic medals. Even the countries poorer than us won more medals. The onyl feature we got to be proud of is Pacquiao.You don't see a filipino man with a russian or french girl. If its asian you usually see chinese, japanese, or even Vietnamese. In adding up, people in the Philippines don't know how to vote, our people would rather vother for a famous young actor rather than a man who has more knowledge. What do you think? Do you think it sucks to be filipino? Bwisit hindi maganda ang bansa natin.
