God, the person who said Filipinos are Pacific Islanders is an idiot.
Read this article, I’m proving you wrong.

I’ve been studying the Filipino History for over 8 years. I’m only 14 years old (this coming December 18, I will be 14) I’m. In 2nd year highschool here in the Philippines.
Well here’s the answer
Like the other answerer said, there’s no such thing as a true blooded Filipino, but in Spirit.
Well, mostly, RICH filipinos are half chinese, I know alot of filipinos, that are rich and half chinese. Yes we do celbrate it, but only in colegios, or colleges, like Universidad de Santo Tomas, and Ateneo De municipal, they celbrate it, by doing the dragon thing. yup, I’ve seen them do it. And they also pass out these red envelopes, that has a coin in it. Yup, It’s really fun. But we don’t Fiesta, or feast.

I’m half filipino, my mother is mixed with spanish, chinese and filipino but raised her whole if in the Philippines. I came to the United States at the age of 9. (my father was from Chicago in the Navy)
I’d have to say it’s sometimes rather hard to identify the differences with filipinos. You really can’t be definite unless you ask. Filipino traditions are definitely different than China and Japan. Filipinos are actually considered Pacific Islanders and are not actually Asian.
As for the jungle people comment, it’s actually funny but it’s wrong to stereotype filipino’s to take home coffee and/or toilet paper. I’ve worked with many caucasions who do that and to me it’s just a matter of their upbringing. There is always the “embarrassing” group of people in every race no matter if your filipino, german, irish, spanish, italian, mexican, puerto rican, black, or any race.
I’d have to say that filipino’s really do stick together. Even if they don’t know or personally like eachother, they hang out together just because of their race.
There are so many islands in the Philippines. Some providences have different versions of the same foods. If you happen to find some true blooded filipinos, which is not often then they are usually dark skinned with very flat noses.
But YES their traditions are very different and just as in the United States they can very in religions. It kinda falls under which country they are mixed with. Some of my aunts are buddist and but most are catholic (I have 16 aunts on my mothers side).
