Filipina is a filipino woman. Filipinos are natives or citizens of the Republic of the Philippines. The Philippines is a country in South East Asia known as the "Pearl of the Orient Sea". Once owned and claimed by the Spaniards for at least 300 years. And eventually, bought for 20 million dollars from Spain by the United States Government which started American colonial rule to the Philippines for almost half a century.
Through this time, from Spanish Era to the American Colonization not to mention the influence of the Mexicans during the galleon Trade, the invasion of the Japanese as well as the migration of the Chinese traders, Filipinos were evolved and mold to become so adept in adjusting and adopting to change. May it be environmental, political, economics, or most specially social.
Filipinos are known worldwide for its hospitality and diligence. Filipinos by nature are peace loving people. Filipinos always show a captivating smiles a natural charm of his cheerfulness which makes him a genuinely friendly and always ready to help if the need arises.
These are the qualities why Filipinas are the most sought after woman in the world to become a bride by many foreign bachelors. It is because a Filipina has integrity. She is trustworthy, caring, loyal, respectful and non-confrontational (meaning they will not confront you in front of other people to avoid embarassment.) I could vouch these best qualities because my wife is a filipina.
However, it is sad to note that the word filipina is being associated with "dating" and "mail-order-bride". These are the works of the unscrupulous website publishers to meet the upsurge searched through internet for a "filipina-bride". A lot of foreign bachelors around the world wanted a filipina to be their wife. Thus a negative connotation for the word filipina evolved online.
For the purpose of regaining the true meaning of the word filipina and to bring relevant results to search engine, an SEO writing project was launched by Mam Janette Toral for the word Filipina. This is also to topple those that exploits the Filipina. This is the challenge to us Pinoy Bloggers. Maybe this is the time to bring out our respective expertise in blogging to defend Filipina online. Let us heed to the call of mam Janette not because of the prize at stake with this project but because your mother is a filipina, your sister is a filipina, your wife is a filipina, your daughter is a filipina and most of all Filipina is a filipino woman.

You have a very cool blog with lots of useful, interesting info.
ReplyDeletePlease visit my blog for money-making tips. Thanks!
This was a really interesting blog, and I thank you for sharing it! I'm a Filipina, and I suppose I and a few other people (besides yourself) can vouch for most Filipinas we know to be trustworthy, caring, etc. But I find it to be quite a knowledge claim to say those traits apply to all Filipino women. I don't think it's accurate because then we're just saying that a Filipina is like a breed of woman, in all honestly, as it's similar to saying that all pitbull dogs are mean fighting dogs or maybe even all prisoners are jerks that deserve to rot in jail.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see here is a stereotype. I'm not saying all stereotypes are bad--I for one am flattered to be considered amongst the more caring and trustworthy among women.
@runningman thanks for dropping by
ReplyDeleteyou have good blog out there too..
@nina
yes you are right that this traits are not true or accurate to all Filipinas and we are all sure about it.
But all of us are hoping that the bad image that being portrayed online for the word "filipina" itself must be corrected.
Those extremely negative connotations must be matched with extremely positive connotations.
Thanks for posting your comment.
I very much appreciated it.
Mabuhay ang Filipina!
GodBless!
We've known Filipina's as we were well acquainted with some Filipina missionaries who were house guests of friends of ours. We found them gracious, charming and intelligent. We still keep in touch with them to this day. Thanks for publishing an article that explains the goodness and trustworthiness of these great women.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff gives the real information one needs. One can feel like reaching the destination.
ReplyDeleteKudos!!!
@morgan

Coming from you
I am deeply honored

Hello Stentorized. I would like to invite you to e-mail me an audio version of your entry so I can include it in our Filipina Writing Project podcast. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell if promoting a better Filipina is the goal then your post should win because you just identified the good traits of the Filipina as a whole.
ReplyDelete@mam janette,
ReplyDeletethanks a lot mam for inviting me.
I am ashamed+_+

that I do not have the facilities
