You are a Filipino if…


“Psssst! Junjun, yung ano ni Tito Boy at Ate Baby, na-ano mo na?”

 If you get that one above, you are, most likely, a hundred and one percent Pinoy. So, aside from understanding the gazillion meanings behind the word “ano“, and the redundant and ironic nicknames, these are traits that make you purong Pinoy:

1. Your meal is never complete without rice… that’s sinangag for breakfast and merienda, and plain rice for lunch and dinner.

2. Jollibee will always have a special place in your heart - like when Hetty and Champ danced with you in your seventh birthday party (and you got nostalgic cause you just heard your baby say “jabi” for the first time. Awww!)

3. When you were little and you did something nasty, it’s either the slippers or the belt. If you’re worse and you crossed way over the line, prepare your knees for mongo.

4. As you dance, people happily give you money, big amount of money, in front of cheering people, without having to do the pole — it’s legit, and you call it the wedding money dance.

5. You are religious but, hmmn, for you, San Miguel is more than just a saint. You have a bond — the “iba ang may pinagsamahan” type. It’s almost an addiction.

6. You never leave a party without a “take home” — on a paper plate, wrapped in aluminum, and mainit-init pa.

7. Tall, dark, and handsome = pogi points.

8. You grab all the plastic spoons, forks, paper napkins when you dine in fastfoods like “McDo”. You also get those mini-soap, shampoo, toothbrush at hotels (oops, tissue too!) because you paid for them.

9. You know the Wowowee theme song, know the moves cause you’ve danced it at your office Christmas Party.

10. You know this list isnt even a quarter of a quarter complete.

Proud to be Pinoy!
