They joined it because they felt that they needed to fit in with a group that was Filipino or Pinoy, which gives them the sense of Pinoy Pride.

From the derogatory remarks made about the Chinese when they first migrated from China in the 1820s to the offensive, yet subtle, comments made about the Asian minorities in the United States even to this day, there is a blatant correlation to why these thoughts are still present in this society. Although these have been issues that have lasted for as long as the
Last night’s choir show at the Luce Auditorium was indeed a magnificent night. The Manila Concert Choir was singing. And due to my ineptness with choirs, I was surprised that the Manila Concert Choir’s members were almost old-aged. Nevertheless, when they were performing, you can’t really tell that old-aged was upon them. There was the oldest in the group but still singing great, and I’m not even a tiny bit of her voice (which is why I am taking my seat and she is standing at the stage). The stage

10 Standout Mountaineering/Outdoor Brands for Pinoys In as much as we like to buy Salomon, Merrell, Patagonia or North Face, some enterprising Filipino outdoormen and women are also building their own brands of moutaineering gear and recreational equipment, which we all can be proud of.

The Filipino Way of Celebrating Christmas Christmas is just around the bend. We know it. We feel it. We hear it. We smell it. We see it. Pinoys are perhaps the only people who celebrate Christmas the longest, and uniquely at that. To other cultures, Christmas is just a two-day or one-day affair, but for Filipinos here and abroad, it's the most wonderful time of the year indeed – an occasion fit to last for several months and worthy of coming home to regardless of the circumstance.

Between this and the distinct Filipino ability to play with and create from existing words, Pinoy slang has truly evolved into an aspect of linguistics worthy of an undergraduate thesis.

The way Filipinos celebrate Christmas is different from how other countries would celebrate it. Being a Catholic country, Christmas is considered as the most important holiday for us Filipinos. We always put much effort in following traditions like Noche Buena, Caroling, and Simbang Gabi.

At a young age, I was raised as a child who’s exposed to the idea of excessive
The term “Filipino artist” is taken literally in this paper in the context that “Filipinos are the cumulative result of their past history”, meaning that we are the product of our colorful past dating from our indigenous ancestors to the Spanish regime and the American influence to our culture, and “artists including all creative people such as painters, poets, dramatists, cinema directors, and other creative types”, implying that artists are those people who craft objects of beauty as a result of
