What's the Filipino Culture like?

Take it from Rachel Bloom when it comes to culture. Plus, there’s a diverse range of heritages within the Filipino Culture as well as the Native Filipino culture.

For a fact, I know that I have some sort of Spanish heritage linked with Chinese descent but I don’t take that as being pure Filipino since there’s no such thing as a pure Filipino because of much people forget to mention in History books. I recently watched a European Spanish film about the last Spanish men in the Philippines and I learned a lot of what they had to deal with in order to get by.

For example, CONSTANTINO. It’s probably a surname of one of the Spanish colonizers making his way to the Philippines. Along with Mendoza, Rosales, Cruz, Rayes, etc.

There’s a few other Filipino Cultures to look up, as well:

Filipino-Spanish

Filipino-Chinese

British-Filipino

Filipino-American

Native Filipinos - these are the people who are a descendants of the people who founded the country long before the Spanish took over.

just to name a few.

It is important to know that you would rarely find anyone living in the Philippines who are Native Filipinos because of how colonizers treated Filipina women when they first arrived in the country. Also, Filipinx Feminists are hard to find as well since not everyone is willing to change the Philippine Society for the future generation. It’s all about leaving a mark in the country and leaving a legacy for the future family members to follow.

Confession: I’m not about that. I’m actually one of the people who wants a certain change in society and how people views politics.

If you are into Feminism, there’s four Filipinas that you should look up. They’re kind of the earliest Feminist in Philippine history, but people are saying that it’s Marjorie Evasco when it’s not. She’s a Modern Filipinx Feminist.

Gabriela Silang - first documented Filipina feminist, I think.

Leona Florentino - first known Filipino feminist poet.

Aurora Quezón aka Nene

Corazon Aquino and the People Power - she practically lead it.

This is probably an essay by now, but it’s the only way that I can explain what it’s like in the Filipino Community/Culture without being straight forward and one-sided about the culture itself.
