Filipino Culture Thread

If your from Pampanga then you know where the best Filipino cooks and dishes come from.

If your ilocano. Well damn sorry but you got the rep of being the tight wad cheap *** business minded Filipinos

That’s explains my cousin’s mom’s side of the family lol

Man one time. I flew back to PI getting off the plane in Manila I saw this lola get off with wheel chair assitance and 3 balakbayn boxes and not tip. I gave the airport helpers 500 pesos each

Is it rude to decline being someone's ninong? I'm not religious and don't like kids. I haven't been asked yet so maybe i'll never have to decline.

Just accept it and give whatever you think is the right amount

 

[Fozz]

Yeah, I would just accept it.

You don’t have a choice either your mom decided for you and that’s final or you shame the family/yourself.

 

[shogun]

I don't have much family living here and none of them are having kids right now. Kinda wanna see people's reaction if I say no.

I gotta say the stingy ilocano stereotype holds true for a few of my friends

pops is ilocano, moms is visayan.

i got the ultimate promdi genes

I'm the opposite. Can't stand chicken adobo lol.

Same here

I’m Bisaya though. Adobo for us isn’t saucy meat.

Children of your 1st cousins consider you uncle too, I have literally 100 first cousins RIP

Lmao fr! It never stops. Somehow I’m related to a bunch of folks I’ve never heard/seen before

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Shoot a lot of the ilocanos don’t even claim to be Filipinos and are just ilocano.

Hawaii is filled with a ton of them also.

I should prolly let my dad know about this.

Dont we all ?

Our grandparents just didnt have contraceptives.

Also, we got that asian/filipino testosterone levels. Flagpole be rising well into our 60s

 

[wballz]

I usually give a P500 red pocket to my nieces and nephews for when I visit. It's actually not too bad. Cost will be less than $500 for dozens of kids' pasalubong.

 

[Roderick Kingsley]

So many people in both my parents' families. I'm scared to assemble the balikbayan boxes full of pasalubong These people are asking for iPads, Macbooks, iPhones and the most expensive Louis Vuitton.... Bruh you're gonna get chocolate, tshirts, perfume, and toiletries

Im late af on Catriona Gray. Randomly seen Ne Yo's performance at the 2018 Miss Universe on Youtube and saw her and was like damn shorty fine af. That red dress and leg showing and pageant face.

Then I was more curious and peeped her new music video and looked through her IG and now im sorely disappointed. I see better looking chicks at Urban Outfitters.
