The Philippine language is called Tagalog
I have observed that most people i know who are Filipino-Americans seem to talk about their homeland negatively. I am wondering if this is indeed prevalent and i wonder why they think this way?

I think these Americans born of Filipino parents are just misguided and have had the wrong information passed to them by their parents. Most of the uneducated (lower class, I’m sorry for the term) Filipinos escape the hardships of their country and live in the US as middle class citizens with big houses and all the luxuries they couldn’t afford before. They probably compare the changes they have had to what they had in the Philippines. They pass on these beliefs to their children who probably don’t even know their heritage and, of course, one can’t be proud if one is ignorant. I don’t think this is true for all. Educated and classy Filipinos who chose to immigrate and live here still see the Philippines as it is with all the negatives and a lot of the positives as well. They pass this on to their children who love to visit the Philippines because of its beauty and culture.
maybe they are just being factual. PI is a pretty messed up place.
sad but true.
If they were, wouldn’t they have been born in the Phillipines?
yeah even most are trying to be american or of another nationality. what’s more baffling is they are proud to be labled as latinos rather than asians. that’s also the problem for most people in the philippines however. COLONIAL MENTALISM, i hardly admit.
I guess they’re ashamed of being stereotyped as Filipinos. There are even some Filipinos who just want to be out of the country because of poverty. But once they’ve stepped in the US, they recreate themselves and don’t consider themselves as Filipino, instead they’re either Asian or Latino.
Hey!! Im proud of my heritage.
