I'm filipino. Filipinos are both Asian and Pacific Islander. I consider myself both.

some people argue that the philippines is an island so it shouldn't be considered part of asia... but that's stupid because aren't japan and singapore islands too? and they're considered parts of asia.
people should learn to back their opinions up.

bssh what are you talking about!! we are asian!! just because we're islanders, doesn't mean that were pacific islanders!! well to all you pinays out there we are asian and if you disagree don't even call yourselves filipino....
mai xanga yeah i agree japan is an island and there still asians just cause we don't have them eyes like asians or skin tone doesn't mean we aren't asian... i mean look at combodian people they're asian but they don't look like it as much as chinese people do... |

I'm Filipino.
I think that we could be either Asians or Pacific Islanders. To make it simple, I just say Asian, to save the hassle of explanation. &&&.. Did you know that the term "flip" is short for "flippant" meaning 'going backwards' |

Welll.... if the Philippines is considered to be a part of Asia... then those who are of filipino heritage ARE Asian.
The End. |
