Great lookin tat... filipinos are a mixture of many different cultures whic h makes pionoys so unique.. having christianity tattoo and traditional filipino tattoo is what a filipino really is... we cannot deny our spaniard blood....

I think we Filipinos still have a love afair with the Spanish even though most of us have no Spanish blood at all. That's why many of us are obsessed with mistizos. The Filipino IS a paradox. Its up to you to decide what side your on.

WOw what a great lookin tat... if you have a spanish last name your ancestors are likely to be spaniards... and thats about 90 percent of pinoys.. so most of us pinoys have spanish blood..

90%? Where did you get your stats from? Like Paula said, due to colonial mentality, many of us want Spanish blood. A Spanish last name doesn't automatically equal Spanish blood as many of us were "given" Spanish last names when baptized Christian. Other reasons for Spanish last names:
- Self-changed to be more prestigious in the eyes of our colonizers and separate ourselves from the "indios". - Changed by our Spanish masters just like how Africans took on their American slave master's last names. - Did you know of the Alphabetical Inventory of Surnames? Native "indios" without surnames had to get in line to get a Spanish one.

Gloke, I live in the bay area. You latest statement makes no sense. 1) Uncle Tom's Cabin isn't really known in the Phil, so you bysaying its a fob thing to say is stupid. It makes me sad to see that you have so much hate.

I dont have hate,, you started it... all i want to know is what is a Uncle tom filipino???? you potrait me as one..but i don't know what is a Uncle Tom Filipino??? Just give a brief explanation.. or are you just making stuff up...

You have colonial mentality. You said you know Uncle Tom's Cabin. Replace the race talked about in the book and replace it with Filipino and you have yourself. You can also replace Uncle Tom with the Spanish for your sake. If don't understand this simple comparison, do some self research.

LOL, it's not the fact (or wish) of your Spanish blood. It's your colonial mental state as noted by your comments above. If you actually read the book, you would be able to make the connection. One curses when one can't explain themselves intellectually.

Sorry to interrupt, but does anyone know of a good pinoy tatu shop in Orange County, CALI?
Okay Gloke, you really want to know what an Uncle Tom Filipino is? You're obviously never going to read nor understand the book so I'll give it to you in your terms. It's a sellout to his own race and ethnicity; your's being Brown and Filipino. You seem to want to claim some whiteness by clinging to the hope that you have some Spanish blood. What's wrong with being dark and having a broad, flat nose? You sound like a White racist. And just because you have lighter skin and a "higher "nose doesn't prove you have Spanish blood. You could very well have Chinese blood. The beauty of the Philippines is that the cultures and heritage of the people are so diverse. Why even bag on certain traits of your so-called own people? It's bad enough that some other elitist Asians ie, Koreans and Japanese consider us as bottom of the ladder as far as Asians. And what's wrong with you even using the term f.o.b.? Your parents are most likely immigrants. Quit with the insults. I thought this site was about Filipino tattoos. That was a nice piece on his arm, by the way.

attn: all of those who know nothing of their heritage nor fully understand the true meaning of being Filipino.
How dare you? We live under the same Sun and sleep under the same moon that watched our ancestors get savaged, raped and killed by Spaniards (amongst others).
How dare you Glorify the bloodline of a country who took your ancestors, forced to mix with their own and made a new race to eradicate its original not-good-enough selves? We were forced into Christianity yet they used our religion, our Christian ways and virtues to justify evil actions.
How would you feel if I killed your family in the name of Spain? Would you still cling dearly to the ideals of having a big nose, fair skin and their blood running through your veins?
It was the revolt of the Filipinos who drove Spain out of our country that gave you the opportunities to get you where you are today. so why must you welcome them back into your heart? Why do you back up that mind-set?
The next time you feel proud seeing the Filipino flag, the next time you feel proud of a Filipino male/female making their mark, understand that you do not deserve to share this pride with us. Maybe that so called “FOB†can give you insight, share with you stories and enlighten your life with their experiences of being Filipino. They have the right because THEY ARE FROM THE PHILIPPINES IDIOT……. You know, that same country you’re sooo proud of.
A great man once said, “The Filipino drowns in sweat yet smiles at the Sunshine….â€
Do you know who said that? Ofcourse you don’t, the Filipino Uncle Tom wouldn’t have the slightest clue.
I am who I am,
Im not a Pacific islander,
Im not Filipino/Hawaiian,
nor am I Filipino w/ Spanish blood
Im not Filipino/ducth/chinese
Am I am definitely not Filipino/Irish/French
I am my own man. I am Los Angeles raised and come from a family generations bred and grown of the Islands Named the Philippines by force.
A man that can look to his ancestors and know that they can be proud of my accomplishments and fully understand that the sweat, blood and tears shed for my future was not in Vane.
I am Filipino of the true Filipinos and you have a lot more rice to eat in your lifetime before you can share from my Bowl.

well maybe you should stand in front of a catholic church and explain that to all the filipinos that go to church everysunday....... or maybe you should go back to the phillipines and burn down the churches.. but of course you wouldnt want to go back to the phillpinines.. because its a fucked up place to live.... Or maybe you should start with your own family im pretty sure you have family that are christians... but they will not listen to you because you don't know what your talking about... your just an American filipino trying to hard to show your a filipino blood... but deep down... your just fake and love to talk shit... just like a real filipino.. its in our nature... what ever we do or say.. as long as your proud to admit your filipino,,,thats all that matters...

wahaha....you're so full of yourself eh!...
you're not a filipino.. (coz you're a bloody american-slash-spanish-wannabe)
you're not a spaniard... (just because i said so... haha)
nor an american... (an american should be worth calling one if he/she has worked his arse off just to get to live in the greener pastures of america. not just because u were born there. you're parents are.)
but you??? nothing.... you're no one!
do me a favour!
look for a new nationality.

First off: The Philippines is a wonderful place to live. I went to High School there (Jr High equivilant) and continue to go back every year.
Secondly, do your homework. Sit down and read about your ancestry. Or if youre lucky enough, sit down with filipino people and hear what they have to say about what happened to our people.
I do not bash on Catholicism/Christianity as a whole, but i do hate on the false representation due to the ties to a Supposed-Superior Country (The Catholic Spanish Assembly).
you said, "or maybe you should go back to the phillipines and burn down the churches..." ---- are you retarded?
the churches at the time of the Revolt were burned down, and their Oppressing Spaniard Priests killed by the hands of the oppressed Filipinos. Its not the Church at fault but the Priests who used the Church's name under a Spanish Right to rape Filipina Women and treat Filipino's as they did. These are the same Spaniard Priests that murdered Filipino priests with the reason, "We will not let Brown Trash teach our Spanish Lords word...!"
I mean shit, when certain American Priests were convicted of Molestation did that not burn a hole in your heart as well? But no we did not judge all Catholic priests except those at fault.
I dont need to remind Filipino Catholics of anything that our Muslim Filipino Brothers/Sisters havent already.

Gloke is an embarassment to the pinoy culture.. just tell people your spaniard from now on since you seem to dislike your other pinoy brothers with darker skin and flatter noses, or whatever stupid references you made.

LOL! that was some of the funniest discussion I've read all week! (Gloke & Kyla) I am Mestizo myself... Filipino/Irish American! "So I can drink a bunch, and squat while I smoke!" No matter what, I am a proud Filipino! I don't speak Tagalog. I'm bigger than the average Filipino by a few inches and couple pounds. I've even been talked about as a half breed and looked down upon. I actually look Mexican! Because of my pride! I am quick to tell you "I am Filipino"! don't worry about everyone else... just worry about yourself and your loved ones!

"i'm happy that i got spanish blood because if i didn't i would be dark and ugly" first of all, ur filipino, i dont see that point of sayin that you have spanish blood...thats not really something to proud of in my opinion...they hindered our progress back then and forced christianity on us....

Gloke, dude admit it. You are a Tio Tomas and you know this, man! It's not the Spanish blood that she's commenting on, but your utter disregard for the beauty of more native indios than you. You're a cock-knocker and I hope someday your daughter marries an egot so that your grandkids actually look filipino!
