Filipinos are jolly, generally happy and hospitable (sometimes overly hospitable). Filipinos are very resillient and are over achievers in other countries.

To answer the thread: What makes you proud being a Filipino?

1. Family ties - there's always a cousin or a 2nd cousin or kahit gaanong kalayo pa yan. "kamag-anak is kamag-anak." kahit kapit bahay lang or kabaranggay...

2. True friends - pansin ko sa other nationalities, may "true friends" din naman. pero mas madaming "friend of convenience"

I couldn't agree with you more. I was an OFW (accountant) for more
than 10 years in the Middle East and dito ko talaga nakita ang inate
abilidad ng Pinoy.
Kasi iba-iba kaming lahi (British, Egyptian, Pakistani, Sri-Lankan,
Thai, Indian, etc.) sa office and I can tell you from first-hand
experience that kaming mga Filipinos dominated them all!
Yung mga British and Egyptian occupied managerial positions
pero sa Pinoy sila umaasa sa office work. Mga Indian magaling sa
English and maporma pero mostly tamad. Ayaw mag-overtime!
Mga Thai matalino sana and masipag (good in the technical stuff and
computers) kaya lang bobo sa English!
Mga Sri-Lankan and Pakitani forget it! Hindi pwede iwan sa
trabaho kailangan pirmi kang nakaalalay!
Ang Pinoy minsan mo lang turuan sa trabaho after that pwede
mo nang iwan. Not only that ang average Pinoy worker is good
in spoken and written office communication.
Would you believe yung mga boss namin na British sa amin pa
nagpapagawa ng mga inter-office memo!
Halos kami na ngang mga Pinoy ang nagpapatakbo ng office!
Thats why I'm proud to be Pinoy because I have seen and
experieced first-hand that they can compete and even excel when
placed side-by-side with other nationalities.
