I’m just so glad that the new generation of filipinos are starting to appreciate their natural tanned skin and breaking those old “beauty standards”
Same here to be honest!
Matagal na
If they have natural tanned skin be happy
Eh, marami pa ring gumagamit ng mga pang paputi, sa totoo lang.
Yes sir! same here.
Confidence is more beautiful than complexion.....
True!!
Pilipinos believe that the whiteness or fairness of skin can add to the beauty, but accepting what and who you are is the measure of true beauty. To each his/her own.
Wow you guys speaks like a native tagalog speaker....it feels good to hear our mother tongue being spoken by foreigners! Ang galing naman!
Salamat po! ❤️

hey they're not Foreigners per se. Filipino din sila.
while trends may have contributed to popularizing filipinos to prefer whiter skin, the main reason comes from social status. this reason resonates not only with the Philippines but with most asian countries with the same beauty standard. this is because those who are wealthier would have lighter skin color since they're staying inside their houses while those who are tan are usually those that stay outside to work (e.g. farmers).
it is a frustrating mindset that still exists but luckily, it is gradually decreasing as filipinos continue to realize the value of accepting our filipino identity
Beauty is on the eye of the beholder kasi Filipinos acquired beauty in different races. Walang tunay na Filipino blood. All of us are mixed blood from Malay races, spanish, japanese, Indian, chinese, european, american, etc. Mahalaga marunong ka magdala sa iyong sarili at mabuti ang iyong puso at kalooban. No big deal unless you counter such rude attitude or bullies
Indian?
It's Filipino culture, some superficial, others are deep in assessing a person outside appearance
To deep minds people, they are more on good values within, not visible to the eyes regardless of color, race, status in the society.
Don't be offended to those who were interviewed about the color. It's culture thing.
I agree with Chase when he mentioned about Kpop, it really influenced the GenZs a lot. And also media has a big influence when it comes to our beauty standards. The ads as well, from fairer skin j to skinny body.
Colorism in the Philippines is prevalent but complex in that its shaped by classism (if you're dark, you are a laborer who works under the sun) that has been superimposed by racism (the preferential treatment of the mestizaje by Spanish and American colonialism), resulting in tanner tones that are common in all Austronesians to be seen as inferior. Fortunately, this taught self-hatred has lessened, and with the exposure to many kinds of people from everywhere, this kind of colorism has broken down in significant ways.
In response to your previous video, I made a comment about the inherent nature of humans. It seems that people often desire what they don't possess, such as Westerners seeking a tan while those with brown skin desire a fair complexion. This tendency is a reflection of our humanity. However, as a Christian, I believe that having a strong connection with God allows us to transcend these superficial concerns, as we understand our true worth in His eyes.
The HOST herself, she is Filipina-Korean, her beauty is superb
fair skin is very common and for trends only...but in pgeantry beauty standards,,its so hard for them to excell because we still prefer tanned or morena or darker skin...i myself i have a fair and white skin.but i love tanned skin or morena skin...
Initially, we cannot deny the human instinct of appreciating physical features of what we like or what we are attracted to. The usual perceptive are actually evolving now.
However, Filipino characters deeply rooted in a family oriented culture, camaraderie and being hospitable, and sentimental/emotional(generally speaking).... So we have a high regard to the personality, values and desirable attitude of a person (someone we consider that our family will love too and can get along with) ❣️
Strongly agree with this! Thanks for watching 😀
I grew up in the Philippines having skin whitening products being highlighted in tvcs. I was caught in that hype until I lived in Hawai'i USA years later where skin whitening products are like aliens to them. The tanner your skin is, the more beautiful you are.
I now have a daughter who is a Filipino American and almost to her teens. I have been teaching her that beauty is beyond skin deep. It's not about the color of your skin, your height, weight, facial features...it's what you are inside you, your character, that matters all the time. Kindness and confidence go a long way and make you beautiful no matter who you are.
Aloha 🌈🌺🤙🏻🙏🏻
It’s really depends on the culture and context. Thanks a lot for sharing and the comment. Aloha! 😀
What’s important we are all filipinos and we should be proud of it.
Beauty is with the beholder, we have discovered and appreciated many of our native agta or aeta beautiful women whom we should have lived together with from the beginning.
I was so surprised to hear foreigners speaking Filipino that I had to pause for a bit, Lmao. I have to admit, I still struggle with those beauty standards sometimes, wanting to be "just a bit" paler and having a doll face, but I look around me and see that the Philippines is just so diverse and we all can be beautiful and have great self-esteem in our own ways!
Thanks for watching and sharing! Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Hehe
They're half Filipina...their mother is Filipina....lol
@@MsVroege Hi there. We’re not half hehe our mother is Filipina but she’s not our biological mum ☺️ we’ll talk more about that soon!
Well, media and celebrities can affect the Pilipino’s perception of physical beauty. And these come from both local and outside of the country. Before the existence of the internet, the media (meaning music, films, TV ads) are mostly from the US where images of what’s beautiful were white, tall, pointed noses, high cheekbones. Local celebrities then emulated that standard. And it seems it hasn’t changed even today. But I’m seeing a variety because now Filipinos include Asian women with smooth skin and white complexion as part of that beauty standard list. Hence, we got a proliferation of Korean beauty products. Plastic surgeries have not taken hold of the general populace except for celebrities and well to do. But they’re still obsessed with whitening products. Again because of what they see on TV and social media. And perhaps because of the notion that white complexion will give them more economic advantage. But even when that’s what most think what physical beauty is, Filipinos retain a sense of reality about their physical appearances. If they can’t achieve some of these beauty standards due to economic reasons, they still strive to present themselves neatly and with dignity as best they can. Also, religion always plays a role in shaping their mindset that even though you are not part of that beauty standard, what’s matters most in God’s eyes is the “kagandahan ng iyong kalooban at lakas ng iyong pananampalataya sa Panginoon.”
The truthiest thing..
True!
Correct
We only need is respect to each other. Respect others opinion and perspective and they will respect your.
I can feel that you have guys a pure and genuine heart. I believe that No matter what skin type or skin color you have as long as you have a pure and compassionate heart that was most attractive for me. Btw I love this Video, i hope you guys make more videos about this topic. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
It's unfortunate that marketing tactics often resort to undermining one's self-esteem by suggesting that you're not attractive enough unless you purchase their products. Their primary focus is generating profits, which can lead to manipulative strategies. This is why it's crucial to have a strong connection with God within you. When you have that connection, the opinions of others no longer hold power over you. You understand your intrinsic value and learn to love yourself. By embracing your worth, you create an environment where others can accept and appreciate you for who you truly are.
In an ancient Philippines kasi and many parts of Asia, light skin was associated with class and social status. So paler skin symbolizes richer people who don't work under the sun. Sa European naman they have similar obsession with light skin, but they turned into tanned skin because tanned represents rich people that have time to do leisure activities under the sun.
Well in my own opinion! You should not comparing people to other nationalities because naturally everyone has differences in all aspects of life and this will only cause to hatred and other things.I guess the most important thing is the attitudes towards others coz we are all created by God and we need to love one another more than other things. We will all back to dust anyway The last thing is to think and what to do to be able to save each once souls for our Salvation when times comes for the final judgment. Thank you and God bless us all.
Knowing yourself and being confident about it is the absolute Beauty.
Beautiful in a person inside not outside remember that kids.. I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I'm senior
During 90 maganda ka pag morena ka tapos wla kang makeup tapos maganda ka na di ka pa nagsusuklay yun ang astig na ganda! yung dating lang talga ang meron ka.
Oh wow. I''ve been watching some random videos of yours courtesy of CZcams recommendation and I am impressed that you can speak the local language. I really appreciate it when foreigners can speak Filipino or other dialects since its not easy to learn. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!!
In my opinion, sa mga Filipino Youths lang yung may mga ganyang mindset eh. Yung batayan nila ng beauty is yung pagiging maputi. Kc yun yung nakikita nila sa Philippine Media. Pero habang tumatanda nag-iiba din yung mindset nila. Nasasabi ko yan kasi ganyan din ako before. Like pansinin nyo yung Lola iba yung pananaw nya sa kagandahan compare sa mga youth. Pero now i do believe na yung inner beauty yung pinakamaganda sa lahat. It doesnt matter kung anong skin color ng tao.
Totally agree! Salamat for watching!
@@thewinedingdownpodcastTo be honest hindi kasi lahat ng tao pare-pareho ng standards pag dating sa beauty eh. Yung iba nagbabase lng sila kung ano yung nakikita nila sa media. Pero alam ko na we are all beautiful in every single way. Kaya let's just ignore yung mga ganung comments.
Love watching
Salamat ❤️
I may be wrong but I think Filipinos think whiter is preferred and thought of as beautiful started from 300 years of Spanish rule where the mestizos and mestizas started . Then after being ruled by Spain comes the Americans for around 40 years so the exposure of Filipinos to relating affluence and beauty have been on lighter skin
I definitely agree!
that's why whitening products such as soaps and lotion are selling like hotcakes dto sa Pilipinas. Even glutathione is widely marketed as a whitening substance.
You three are literally the proof that dark skin does not mean inferior. Great job ladies and gentleman, you are helping to strengthen my hope in people your generation is actually breaking down all kinds of prejudices, I say this because in my opinion my generation dropped the ball👏👏👍
Thanks!! Appreciate it ☺️
In marketing, if there's no market for your product, create a need so you'll have a new market.
Hahaha I like the reactions of the guy... He really feels the interviewed persons... But the girls feels like they are but a bitter to it... Believe me.. you both are beautiful be proud to your color... I subscribes here because I know many pinoys will like you.. just be confident. 👍😍😇
nice video! galing nyo mag Tagalog! salamat for featuring Filipino standards..
Thanks for watching ☺️☺️
The guy and these two ladies are brilliant in having this video knowing it's more interesting to know the different perspective of beauty in the Philippines and influence by other nationalities.
Salamat talaga po! ☺️ appreciate the comment.
7:34 nagiging back handed compliment huhu
I’m Filipina go for tan color ❤Watching Sacramento California USA 🇺🇸
Hi Jelyn! 😀
im a filipina, the true beaty is the heart of a person , period.
Westerners super love and envy the TAN color skin
Most asians love fair.
For me personally, i find both uniquely charming and beautiful!
Like the 3 of you. You look like models to me
Salamat talaga po 🥰
its very natural to human that what ever you don't have is what you wanted more. Ex. you are living in a place where everybody has a light skin the are so interested to tan colored skin. and vice versa tan colored skin want to have light skin. But of course its not always 100% we are just talking about majority. I'm also not talking about very dark skin or very light skin. Very dark and very white skinned colors are not considered beautiful in general perspective except for their native people who's already used to it or people with very beautiful faces and body despite of their color being very light or dark. Of course this are just majority of the people (not 100%).
Marami na talagang mixed Filipinos because of Spanish colonialism even before nauso ang halfies sa media. In my opinion it's embedded in the Filipino mentality that having foreign characteristics is better, kase nga for 3 centuries of being colonized full Spanish or Meztizos(Spanish-Pinoys) until the arrival of Americans... they are treated better than the Indios (term used for Pinoys back then). Also having lighter skin was an indication na hindi ka nabibilad sa araw so you are from a wealthy family unlike those tanned/darker skinned average to below average wage earners na Pilipino. This mindset is heavily embedded na talaga sa culture and mentality ng mga Pinoy, though it's changing naman na in today's generations.
Kahit anong skin color as long as makinis at maganda mgdala ng damit or may confidence sa sarili ke maganda o hindi kagandahn..ok na ok sakin..and be yourself un ang importante at especially may mabuting ugali o puso❤❤❤
Good that you’re into reacting now
Thanks po! 🥺
As a Filipino. For me there's no beauty standard in Philippines. Its depends to the person acceptance to himself.
😂
Nah, there's obviously a beauty standard here in the philippines.
@@majorianus8055 what? Tell me
I think most Filipino's, given a choice, would prefer to look good with qualities they don't have. But at the end of the day, we still love and are somehow content with what we have and cherish values above anything else.
Hi, i just want you to know that coming from perspective of "foreigners", your videos and the comments that you make are enlightening to us, filipinos. although not every one is on the same route as everyone, it all boils down to how individual we all are. anyway, can i suggest a topic? What do you guys think about Filipino Superstitious Beliefs? would like to hear your thoughts. regards!
Interesting topic! Thank you for suggesting 🧐❤️
I was amazed how can you guys speak filipino ahahaha im just new here. i clicked the subscribed button dont worry. i hope you noticed my comment hahaha
Hahah thanks po! ☺️
@@thewinedingdownpodcast woow thanks for the notice
Maganda ka kahit maitim ka, in philippines its a compliment, you should not be offended or conflicted about it. If you think you are truly believe in your own beauty, you will never care about what people say na maganda ka kahit maitim ka. it does not have two meanings. actually beauty is not only physical, its how you carry yourself , self-confidence and kindness.
Regardless of the color of your skin you're still beautiful 😍
Inner beauty is the best..
I really love tan skin❤
that's just the beauty standard, having a fair complexion but irl, not everyone even thinks about skin complexion. as long as you are pretty to someone's eyes that doesn't matter if you are morena or mestiza/chinita.
bro this is my first time watching on this channel.. i was so shocked nung nag tagalog si ate akgfajghjhgafa hahahahah ang kulit, nabigla ako talaga hahahaha
🤭🤭🫣
Mga pinay tlga gusto pumuti lalo ngayon na sikat ang mga korean novela
I feel you guys. Lagi akong naikukumpara sa mga mapuputing babae na kaibigan ko kahit sa kapatid ko. Laging sinasabi mas maganda yun kaysa sa yo kasi maputi siya.
Sorry you had to experience that!
Remember the words right and wrong important to learn
People want the things that they dont have, they dont apreciate what they have, i think thats natural for us. But the truth is it doesnt matter what color you are, God made us different and unique. The more we want something the more we will be sad, especially if we didnt achieve what we want.
Real Filipino or Filipina ang totoong kulay ng balat meron black at kayumanggi. Yung kaya lang pumuti dahil half na sila.
Kung sa akin yung bata pa ako madami akong kaibigan kayumanggi or tan. ALAM NYO MATAGAL NA AKO SA EARTH ANG TUNAY NA BASEHAN AY MABUTING PUSO NG ISANG TAO. KUNG MABUTI ANG PUSO NG ISANG TAO SIYA TUNAY NA MAGANDA KAHIT ANO ANG KULAY NG BALAT NIYA.
🤣 "Real Filipino"? Being real Filipino is not outward base, it's from the innermost being.
Filipino is not a race, it's a nationality.
Of course, you're going to say: "It's just my opinion".
--- But mine is a fact.
In a nutshell, here's the timeline of trends of beauty standards in Philippine cinema.
In the 60s movie stars were mostly fair complected, the so called mestizas and mestizas...no way you could aspire to be a star if you were dark skinned back in the day)
Then in late 60s and early 70s a brown skinned petite lil girl with a golden voice to everyone's amazement just rose to unprecedented superstardom...she broke the so called glass ceiling and defied the odds and became the phenomenal star in so short a time...that era was considered the golden era bc she started the phenomenon of screaming hysterical fanaticism...she is still active to this day ...her name is Nora Aunor...
To this day, none has ever paralleled her phenomenal story.
Today, after hearing those young ladies, the trend is back to the mestizas and mestizos (biracials) trend ... this colonial mentality is here to stay, I suppose....
We studied about Nora Aunor in Highschool. Glad to hear her name again!
Ang gwapo ni kuya! Ahaha
Salamat po ❤️
Nakakatuwa ka ate marunong ka magtagalog
Thanks po!!
Wow girls, I say this again (this is the second video I've watched), your Filipino language skills and the Filipino culture in you is just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G ✨ I don't know about your backgrounds yet, but a Big Appreciation to you two for embracing the most integral parts or integrating into the place you're living in that way💖
And then, there's Chase 😂. Bro, kapatid, bai --- NOT A WORD? How long have you actually been living there? It seems like you've known the nuances of Pinoy culture quite well --- BUTTTTTT.... Okay, hopefully you will eventually love to learn some Filipino speak from your friends beside you there. Coz there's ACTUALLY NO REASON WHY YOU CANNOT EVEN TRY.
#pasensyanabrosorrybutnotsorryforsaying Love is give and take bro. Language and respect are the only two things that matter most importantly to any culture. Just imagine Filipinos or any other foreigner in the US refusing to speak English in the States. LOL. 🚫
We Certainly do not want it lost on you dear beloved half Filipinos. We know you already know how to respect the people dude, you are even allowed to forget about all the other aspects of the culture and food. You can definitely shout out loud if you hate some of the exotic foods (especially balut). But REFUSING ANY OF THE LANGUAGES?? NOT EVEN ONE WORD. ✋🏼
Hi again! Thanks for watching our other videos and sobrang appreciate namin ni Liz yung compliment! ☺️ regarding Chase, he does know a few words but the major reason why he is not as comfortable because of the environment (Living only with his Dad) didn’t enable him to speak it. He’s definitely been practicing and improving his Tagalog and let’s try to encourage him to do more 😀
I don't think Chase is refusing the language, and as I can see he loves the culture and being a Filipino. Not being able to speak the language doesn't mean you are refusing it. As a Filipino, we should be more encouraging of our fellow Filipinos instead of saying those things to him.
@@katherinedelacruz8093 thank you!!
I think you should do more reaction
Thank you! We will ☺️
My beauty preference is based on lines and symmetry not colour. I find specific body types, facial shapes and movement beautiful.
If you have a nice nose you can get away in this culture with being darker than dark chocolates.
Galing na magtagalog ah
Ang gaganda nyo naman sana all maganda
Hehe salamat po
Beauty standards in the Philippines..! What..! The best beauty, you are in good heart kindness, friendly, hospitality, etc, that's the most beautiful, even you are not beautiful or gorgeous..! 👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
dont worry girls, pinoy ako pero nagagandahan talaga ako sa inyo twins, no joke, ang gaganda nyo po, kanya knaya perspective lang yan, mind conditioning lang yan mg media at marketing products and also movies ang bida white people kaya ina idol ng mga tao, and now the trend ay kpop or kdramas kaya lately mas type na ng filipino men mga chinita korean looking
Salamat 🥹❤️
Its really the reality, We dont like if we have a lot of it. Just like food, if you have a lot of caldereta, you will tend not to eat it, you will look for another like adobo. If you are brown as well, you will like white. In my cousins in Netherlands, they dont also like white, they like brown.
To be honest, growing up with a tanned skin I have been so fed up of the comments that I got as a child, THEY always call me "black beauty". Why can't they just drop the word "black"?
And I could also hear them say, "Maganda ka kahit maitim ka." Like for real?
As a child, I used to think that my skin tone will never be up to the standard.
But as an adult, I learned to love my tanned skin tone (kayumangging kaligatan). I learned to value myself more than what people used to call me.
I 100% understand this as we felt the same way growing up. We’re glad you learned to love your skin as that shouldn’t matter what skin color you have ❤️
Gusto ko ung Morena maganda.
Color of the skin does not so much matter. It is the symmetry and smooth skin that attracts me. I once met an ethiopian beauty. She had dark skin but my greatest shock was it was my first time to see such beauty tnat i had no words to say except: you are so beautiful!!! I turned to her companion and i said: She is so beautiful! She can be compared to the mother of God or to an angel..
It depends on the people some white skin,some our prepared to have a fair skin or morena it depends tlga even your a Filipino or other nationalities.. respect the opinions of other
what they are trying to say is that we filipinos prefer white skin tone because it is the beauty standard that media show to us but as they said at the end of the day they still proud having darker skin or whatever skin tone they have because what matters is the inside beauty... (ps. we dont hate black/ dark skin tone) is just that we are more attracted to white skin tone.
Maganda kayong 2 parang mga model
☺️☺️ salamat po!
Ah ! Marunong pala kayong mag tagalog , my gosh i love you guys , bagong friend here or subscriber .
Salamat po Claire! ❤️
Colonial mentality is also a big factor why most filipina think that way.💯
Agree! Loving our natural selves is so underrated sometimes.
Para sakin nakikita ang Ganda sa panloob o sa kalinisan ng puso Wala sa panlabas..
MA puti o itim o kayumanggi man I'm proud being pinoy❤
Being colonized by Spain , America even Japan gave that huge impact in Filipino beauty standard since all those races are have that whiter skin while Filipinos have the darker/tan skin. This is more likely an after effect of being their colony being white is superior than being tan.
Totally agree
TAN IS ALSO BEAUTIFUL🤎
You know dati takot na takot ako sa araw gusto ko talaga pumuti as in like most kpop artist na maputi at makinis then before namutla ako at nanilaw kasi di naaarawan at palagi pa naka spf lotions tapos sakitin ako kasi di masyado nakakalabasat exposed sa initan at sa paligid...then suddenly i just realized that TAN skin really matched to me.(kasi yun talaga skin tone ko bakit ko pa binago?).and now im craving for sun especially going to beach all day long..nag papa Tan na ako ngayon what i mean is going to sunbathing tapos di na ako nagpapayong pag mainit.. then mas naapreciate nila yung kulay ko "HOT" daw??😂 Kailangan lang talaga natin i-embrace ang ating sarili at huwag maging insecure sa ibang tao..kasi unique tayong lahat...like Annika Co from Mini Miss U just said "Who cares if others don’t like you? What matters is somebody still likes you. 💜 We got to be the best version of ourselves 🤗
PS: dati pa ito dp ko nung try hard na magpaka KPOP tapos whitewashed pa ako diyan..moreno na ako ngayon🤎
Be contented of what god gives you. Beauty is nothing if your health is worsening
The ILONGGO DIALECT is REALLY VERY SEXY TO HEAR. I REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT IS SPOKEN. I like the way you speak Ilonggo.
Salamat po ❤️
Based on my observation, actually having beauty standards came from a person who has deficiency and want to fix the issue to have that complete look. Like from disproportionate to proportionate. This includes skin complexion. But it doesn't mean that, that person has that kind of "disease" and you also have that kind of desease. If it got him/or her better, it doesn't mean that you need it too. Don't be fooled with someones success because you also have your own success. It doesnt mean that it looks good on someone, it will also look good on you. This actually applies on all countries. There is this hypnotism that happens when you look something at is good, and you try to copy it. It's not right at all because that's just a part of what you see. But not a part of you. It's not a one size fits all kind of standard. Kaya may mga mapuputi na hindi naman bagay and may mapuputi na masasabi natin na maganda talaga. And of course we support that because we can tell. So if it's not for you. then just don't do it. After all it's not a standard. Just let people do what's best for them 🙂 btw and ganda nung nasa middle 🙋
Great point. Thanks for sharing! And Liz says thanks 🙋🏿♀️
Mixed races ae the most beautiful, IMO. Doesn't matter what race. I think it's because the dominant genes are usually expressed, in the first generation, at least.
We see plenty of these people in the Philippines, especially lately.
Fil Jap
Fil Korean
Fil-Middle Eastern
FilAfrican
Added on top of Fil CHi and FilSpanish.
I would like to add an observation, which I'm not sure is scientific- FilChi usually do much better in school than FilSpanish.
Hello guys please don't get offended when Filipinos tell you that maganda ka kahit maitim ka.. It's still a compliment.. because Filipinos are tanned so we envy white people but it doesn't necessarily mean that we're kinda like degrading dark skin.. so please excuse for that.. actually Filipino ancestors are dark skinned like the tribesmen "Aetas".. we were just infuenced by Spanish and Americans so our mindset were affected by colonial mentality..
I just recently discovered your channel and my take on this is that this generations mindset is being duped with marketing, adverisements and the likes; of what real beauty is. But I can say that majority of the most beautiful ladies in the Philippines is not white skinned or having that high-bridged or pointy noses. Keep up the good topics!
Thank you so much for the comment ☺️
beauty standards from the philippines were heavily influenced by the spaniards. they taught our ancestors that being mestiza, lighter-skin and high bridged nose(basically features of a common western girls) is the standard of beauty of all over the world. it became a filipino culture in a sense that being outside of any of those features will be considered less beauty like being darker skin, pango , short and being fat. fortunately, todays generation are more open minded thanks to the social media. as they embrace more of the different beauty standards.
BTW, your are all so gorgeous. especially the girls. any chance na mag compete kayo sa mga beauty pageants like miss universe? more of this content please...
Somehow religion has something to do with our fascination for white skin. Religion teaches us that white is good and black is evil. Hence you have white angels as the good ones, and dark angels are the evil ones.
I’ve seen quite a few dark-skinned women who are ravishingly beautiful, much more beautiful than light-skinned ones. Therefore I think skin color has nothing to do or less to do with beauty. I’m also attracted to women who have pleasant speaking voice.
Thanks, Stanley! ☺️
Only if they go abroad/out of the country maybe mostly they will be proud sa kulay nila,.marami kayang humahanga sa morena skin.
True ❤️
foriegner always connect the white and black in everything, but filipino people yes it truly most poeple like to have whiten skin, but filipino dont discriminate color, actually beauty is all on people chatisma or charm.
I am ok with my skin complexion i have tanned skin but i am happy,,, even though sometimes i get bullied because of my color skin,,, but its ok,,, b'coz i fell kakaiba sa kanila because thier white i am tanned hehehe,,,
I’m sorry you had to go through bullying because of the skin you were born with. Everyone’s beautiful! ❤️
Kasi ang beauty ng pilipino is natural...is true black is pretty...Filipino beauty is kayumangi meron maputi meron din maitim...kasi yung iba pilipino iba nagpa puti lang yan...pero ang totoo beauty original ng mga Filipino is kayumangi.
Ladies, drop the lip color ❤ love your channel!
It’s just a lip tint from shopee po haha 😂
😊😊😊
😊
Being morena sometimes make me insecure about smth especially now, I've never been so insecure this much about it but ex boss made me feel like it they way he treat exco-workmate much better than I do I indure it for months then finally I decided to call it a quit. Never been too happy when I said it feels like all the hate that I want to say release after I say I quit. That's why smth I say pretty and fair skin privilege this hit me so much hard rn.
I’m so sorry you experienced that! Hopefully it gets better here
I vote for morena kasi makikita mo na maganda talaga , kasi almost makikita mo maganda lang kasi maputi
Even before world WAR 2, there's a lot of mixed Filipinos already. Spanish occupations, Galeon trade, Chinese, Japanese, American. I would say it wasn't a trend, It was culturally diverse, effect back then.
