If you’re Filipino by law, then you’re Filipino. If you’re half Filipino, you’re still Filipino and Lastly, If you’re Filipino by heart, you’re always a Filipino no matter where you came from.
No you are Filipino by birth just like Korean or other Asian ethnic group which all intergrated cultures. Richard is Chinoy but there are pure Filipinos that are even more Chinito than him.
Ya and they kicked me out not giving me visa. Filipinas are just more welcoming to foreigner. Ya sometimes Japanese raised in China and they see themselves as Chinese same thing here except for Pinoy.
I literally understand what you meant, I had met a Filipino military officer and where I work, he asked me if I am a Filipino. I proudly said yes, and had asked him in return if he's also a Filipino because he looks Asian guy. His answer was " it's complicated I used to be but not anymore, I am Hawaiian now ".... I looked at him funny, turned around and leave....
What is a Filipino? You are a Filipino as long as you identify yourself a Filipino. There are other races without Filipino blood that are proudly saying they're Filipino by heart. And that's cool. What we cannot be avoided is that you will be frequently asked "where are you came from" if you do not look a Filipino by appearance. Just let them understand how you became a Filipino. Is that too much?
His perspectives about the Filipino identity are quite refreshing. Based on what he just said, if one thinks like a Filipino, feels like one, does things that are Filipino, embraces everything Filipino regardless of the legal definition, then you’re Filipino. The culture is indeed evolving and as it evolves, the mindset should evolve towards openness, acceptance and increasing curiosity to learn that identity is more than the outside appearance… it’s what’s inside of you that tells you who you truly are: mind, heart… and not let anyone else define that cultural identity for you.
Filipino was never a race. In the first place, the first people to be called Filipinos were the EUROPEANS born in the Philippines. Now, if you said he isn't AUSTRONESIAN, then I'd agree
Like you richard, I am half taiwanese-chines and half filipino. I am a Filipino citizen, went to Chinese school until high school and transferred to public school and yes I suffered discrimination and you may call it verbal bullying. Filipino cultures is so diverse that sometimes we suffer identity conflict. They (DEPED) should as a curriculum include identity and cultural sensitivity classes specially in public schools. There is not no longer pure blooded pinoys except the katutubo..
Sorry to hear that from you. But every filipino kid I know including me got bullied as a kid. And the way I see this is a right of passage. To be stronger. There is a tagalog phrase that says "balat sibuyas" and I think that what is everyone shouldn't have in the Philippines because this is a country that is happy amidst the storms, typhoons, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, floodings, landslides and many more and for that includes bullying. It's learning to smile even if your bullied. Cause as a kid when I get bullied I laughed with my bullies and bullying turns to teasing then turns to friendship. But I know not everyone grows up the same and not everyone treats everyone the same as well. Some are more worse than others as well. But for me, the ultimate goal here, is to smile amidst all circumstances we face.

His conflating the law and social aspects of being a Filipino. He pointed it out himself that there is a law and a constitution that says what makes you a true Filipino. Now if you are talking about the social aspect of it then it gets tricky. As the Phillipines constitution says Richard Juan is a Filipino. Whoever question that legitimacy can just shut up about it. Now is it wrong for anyone to ask or question where you come from?? Of course not because it is a legitimate and reasonable question. If I see a white guy living in Phillipines am I not allowed to question where he is from? Or a Chinese? Or a Korean? Am I suppose to just throw away my common sense and say to myself. “Oh he may look different but I am sure he is Filipino so I shouldn’t ask” ??
I don't know what it's like being a foreign-looking Pinoy in the Philippines. But as far I know and observed, when it comes to my foreign-looking Pinoy friends, we judge them based on their accent. If they have a native-level accent, then their Pinoy - nothing more, nothing less.
Who is the "REAL PILIPINO"?....or is there really such a thing as pure Pilipino? Honestly, i don't know. Philippine Islands become Philippines when Spaniards arrived in the Islands...prior to this, there's no such thing as Pilipino....it's just a word, do not linger in it....live life fully wherever you are....when you die, if you're fortunate, you're 6ft below the ground...and eventually become a dust...ahahahah
“What is a Filipino”? He fully answered the question in his last talk based on his experienced, his understanding of his feelings and the environment. If this eye opening to some people then that’s great. Also, for example a person who was so poor before and become multi-millioner then probably based on my experienced, feelings and environment, the 2nd generation child would say that his wasn’t belong to poor family. Well, only few are like that so I still don’t generalize. So, we shouldn’t judge because we probably only have known five million people and we must understand that there are still another 5 million in that country that we haven’t known yet. The thing here is Openness for us to heal our bad feelings, questions inside our mind only then we can feel PEACE within ourself. 😀😀💃
To me, if one has Filipino blood,but can't speak any pilipino dialect, doesn't know Pinoy culture.he is NOT a Filipino. If he's white or of other race, but can speak our language and knows our culture, he is Filipino. But i think the majority here think mr juan might be a filipino( citizen only) but wont be considered filipino ( by race). The majority put emphasis on pinoy blood,alrhough one has only 1/4 or 1/8 Pinoy blood,they will claim u as their own,specially if u are famous. Lol
I understand his dilemma. I was born in the Philippines to Filipino parents, but I moved to Singapore as a kid and completed my entire education there. I spoke a mix of English and Filipino at home, but English is my dominant language and I only speak English to my siblings (they cannot speak Filipino). I am no longer a Filipino citizen after becoming a Singapore citizen... yet I look Filipino, I speak Filipino, and there are things that I can better explain in Filipino than English (like kilig and all that 😂). Yet, whenever people ask me where I'm from, I don't know if I should say Philippines or Singapore. I didn't grow up in the Philippines and I am not Singaporean by birth (only by nurture). Although, I'd say I might be more Singaporean just as I can be more Filipino in some ways. I love chit-chats and I like helping others. Yet, I like it when everything is in order and efficient. I took the best of both worlds and now, it's hard to tell which identity I relate to more
theres no such thing as Filipino Race,.. "Filipino" was a citizeship. so everyone can be a Filipino under the sun as long as constitution says you are, doing some filipino culture stuff is just only a plus... simple as that
The answer is that there is no answer. It’s a person by person case, it’s not about how you perceive their nationality. But how do you reflect on the person personally. You shouldn’t choose to judge a person based on their Ethnic background, but from your personal interaction with that person. I suggest when meeting new people, that you keep an open mind with everyone you meet. And if people treat you as if your different, do not be too quick to be offended.
In this day and age it is a common issue in every country. The world in more ways than one is growing and expanding. In many ways the boundaries are being blurred. From the new perspective everyone is unfolding in more diverse richness in many levels. The better statement now would be - "I belong to the Earth" - I make this statement with pride in many aspects for I am one of these individuals that literally blur all divisions. By DNA I am Indian from India, Irish, and American Indian. Belonging to 3 different geographical areas of the Earth. Growing up in 2 different countries. Religious practices Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, Christian now I am a practicing Mystic that has no religious roots. So what can i be called? There is no category created yet to pigeon hole me into. Unfortunately I only speak English but understand some small amounts of 5 different languages but mostly it comes from the tones and inflections in the voice used in pronouncing the words that convey the meanings I understand. I have and do experience the non acceptance of my presence any where for I do not fit in perfectly through others judgment of me socially or in the working business world. So i have lived all my life feeling like an outsider looking in even in my own birth family and family by marriage due to the judgment and non acceptance of my presence. It trickles down even to making true friends. I have plenty of acquaintances that is no problem for me - but I experience most peoples discomfort about me. I never fight or make a jackass of myself with anyone except with my marriage partner. I am a unique individual. I have learnt to be happy with and by myself and can only count on myself this has been proven time and time again. In this day and age there are more and more like me in the world. I truly love the Earth and all life on this planet and growing to love the whole cosmos. In setting aside all judgments when i find any judgments, i like a gardener or a student of life take the judgment and break it down into minute pieces. I look for the common ground and also that which sets us apart in uniqueness and honour and admire it all finding the love within it. RICHARD JUAN thank you for your talk and great questions and insights.
Philippines has been colonized by Spaniards for more than 300 years, by the Americans for more 40 years, by the English and Japanese for few years. And before these colonizers arrived there are 3 major Ethnic groups who settled in the country, the Malays, Indonis, and the Negritos. And the fact that in pre-colonial era Philippines has been having a transactions through bartery with the Chinese, Indians, Vietnamese and the Arabs. And I think what makes us Filipinos are the Values, Practices, Cultures and etc.
When you still accidentally confuse "he and she" "p and f" "v and b" while speaking in English or a foreign language (Danish, in my case - han eller hun); no matter how highly educated you are, or how well you speak in an American or British accent, or how vast your English or language vocabulary is, you ARE a Filipino. After speaking in many conferences, writing books, preaching, teaching and training in English and Danish, I still do. Rare but never lost 🤣. No matter how little or no Filipino blood runs through you, it is your choice to embrace the race.
Every Asian came from Proto-Chinese that spawn hundreds of ethnicity that intergrated into other cultures since the Ice-Age including Japanese & Korean (who used to be called Xing Chinese in 1878).
He is Chinoy. Some pure Filipinos are more Chinito than him. He’s not Filipino ethnicity. Pure Filipinos family goes back centuries & a lot were given Christian last name. Not modern Chinese, that’s foreign national. The intergrated ethnicity no longer exists & goes back to the ice age.
I think this is one of the stereotypes in some Asian countries? Like what i've watched in a korean show that counsels people, he is even a pure blood korean but because of his brown complexion and different facial features he was not treated nicely and always called out a Filipino and because of that he felt unwelcome from the korean society. Our race is very diverse specially in this generation however it is very sad that other people are being treated unfairly and it is because of some conflicts that still lingers in our society. Like with our fellow Filipino muslims. I am glad that my friend educate me about it so i understand them better now and see them more as our fellow Filipino and not look at them differently because of their religion. I hope that these issues will be fixed soon so that we can properly live in harmony as fellow Filipinos either you are a full blood, half or not as long as you are recognised as a Filipino by the law and even if you are a Filipino by heart.
For me, a "Filipino" is a citizen of the Philippines whose ancestry is from the ethnic groups indigenous to the Philippines, speaks a Philippine language and practices culture native to the Philippines. If you don't meet my criteria, you are something else ✌️
Yes you are a Filipino citizen with a Chinese blood.. Filipino people should understand that not all Chinese are bad.. in the same way, Filipinos are not all good or bad.. forgive our fellow Filipinos. Hello brother, watching from Canada.
Who cares what others say! You are Filipino if you have a small bit of blood in you. Regardless you identify yourself as Filipino or not you have a piece of you that’s gonna like adobo or Pancit or lumpia or corned beef. Trust me you’ll know.
I can't deny the fact that if the looks are the basis to be a Filipino because my father's eyes are singkit like do the Japanese looked like and he once dress with Japanese warrior and he did looked like exactly as a Japanese warrior and his surname (which I have of course) is spanish. So if the looks are the basis then my eyes and my surname is not considered to be a Filipino.
I luv your inspirational talk. It is very true. Anyone that is fair in the Philippines , the 1st impression is: Americano. It is not a bad thing. you find out that anywhere you go in the country , they are courteous and helpful. As you had mentioned about the couple that were sleeping on the floor, that is very true. They family will give you the best in their house. Food is the same scenario. They will give the best for the visitor .
@@mrmarcel22 ikr...didn’t finish watching it bc it irks me when he keeps saying it. I don’t even know who he is...is he a Filipino? Was watching a video that my friend shared and then his video popped up.
Filipinos do not focus on what makes another different, but what they have in common and share. As long as you even have a small drop of filipino blood, you are filipino to us filipinos. Almost if not all Asians do not accept mixed blood, or foreign born but pure blooded, or local born but foreign blood. But not Filipinos. Filipinos are very open, very hospitable, very welcoming and accepting. They welcome you into their homes, and soon you become a brother, a sister, an aunt and an uncle. It is the extended family system. I traveled in many places in the world, and I have been welcomed in many Filipino homes and had been treated as an adopted nephew, or a younger brother. And I call them Tita (aunt) and Tito (uncle), or Ate (older sister) or Kuya (older brother).
Unfortunately he doesn't have even a single drop of Filipino blood. He already said it born by a Chinese parents.. So I dont know what he is trying to point out. He can simply say I am Chinese born in the Philippines. Filipino by citizenship but not by ethnicity. He is trying to convince his self and other people that he is Pinoy. He can claim all he want that his 100% pinoy, but his DNA tell it otherwise.
@@titoep1183 For us Filipinos, if you are born in the Philippines even full bloodied somthing else, as long as he looks upon himself as Filipino still Filipno, we will just simply accept the person because we are accepting and accommodating. But if he does not acknowledge his Filipino, no big deal. Go back to Hongkong, go back to China. Filipinos will accept that is if you are not obnoxious. This guy apparently is obnoxious that is why he is being driven out. This guy is so conflicted regarding his ienetity. He is having an identity crisis. Poor guy, make a decision and stand by that decision. Do not make criticism of the side that you did not select and that you rejected, What makes this guy not Filipino is because he does not have the most essential quality of Filipinos: KAGANDAHANG LOOB. DAHIL HINDI MAGANDA ANG LOOB NIYA, HINDI SIYA FILIPINO. .
For me, a Filipino is someone who grew up in the Philippines regardless of ethnicity. You can be a pure white, Chinese, Indian or Korean by ancestry and still be considered as Filipino as long as you grew up in the Philippines. Likewise, the same applies to everyone overseas, you can have Filipino parents but if you grew up in the US, then you're American no matter what.
Korean looking, speaking american, talking about Filipinos and is really Chinese😆 I love this guy.

@@amaliahightower He is a Chinese descent born in the Philippines.
Richard, your a Filipino! your birth right, .... no one can take that away from you.
Filipinos do not focus on what makes another different, but what they have in common and share. As long as you even have a small drop of filipino blood, you are filipino to us filipinos. Almost if not all Asians do not accept mixed blood, or foreign born but pure blooded, or local born but foreign blood. But not Filipinos. Filipinos are very open, very hospitable, very welcoming and accepting. They welcome you into their homes, and soon you become a brother, a sister, an aunt and an uncle. It is the extended family system. I traveled in many places in the world, and I have been welcomed in many Filipino homes and had been treated as an adopted nephew, or a younger brother. And I call them Tita (aunt) and Tito (uncle), or Ate (older sister) or Kuya (older brother).
This is the answer to the speaker's question
Unfortunately he doesn't have even a single drop of Filipino blood. He already said it born by a Chinese parents.. So I dont know what he is trying to point out. He can simply say I am Chinese born in the Philippines. Filipino by citizenship but not by ethnicity.
He is trying to convince his self and other people that he is Pinoy. He can claim all he want that his 100% pinoy, but his DNA tell it otherwise.
@@titoep1183 For us Filipinos, if you are born in the Philippines even full bloodied somthing else, as long as he looks upon himself as Filipino still Filipno, we will just simply accept the person because we are accepting and accommodating. But if he does not acknowledge his Filipino, no big deal. Go back to Hongkong, go back to China. Filipinos will accept that is if you are not obnoxious. This guy apparently is obnoxious that is why he is being driven out. This guy is so conflicted regarding his ienetity. He is having an identity crisis. Poor guy, make a decision and stand by that decision. Do not make criticism of the side that you did not select and that you rejected, What makes this guy not Filipino is because he does not have the most essential quality of Filipinos: KAGANDAHANG LOOB. DAHIL HINDI MAGANDA ANG LOOB NIYA, HINDI SIYA FILIPINO. .
I wish I can talk like you. WOW!
You're amazing. 💖🌻🤣👏👏👍
Me: if they understand and speaks tagalog he's a Filipino to me.
Good Job you are Filipino if you want to be one no matter what they said
Magiging pilipino lang ang isang tao kung sinusunod nya yung "Panatang Makabayan" at " lupang hinirang".
Tama ka dyan
Your concluding statement said it all.
This is the guy that dabbed at the miss univers
wait seriously

@@justacommenterno.7700 yup at nas daily's video
@@aym_gei9708 Oh so that's why he looks familiar now you think about it XD
Awesome
He actually have filipino accent
Filipino by culture or by blood.
It is up to a person to feel Filipino no matter what.
For me, a Filipino is someone who grew up in the Philippines regardless of ethnicity. You can be a pure white, Chinese, Indian or Korean by ancestry and still be considered as Filipino as long as you grew up in the Philippines.
Likewise, the same applies to everyone overseas, you can have Filipino parents but if you grew up in the US, then you're American no matter what.
Feelipino!
OralCom peeps? HAHAHAHA
