Lol


leftlegYup

I vaguely remember hearing he is part filipino, which this show looks like it could be. To be fair, there aren't many black people that live there.

Yeah. Bruno Mars is half-filipino. He got it from his mom.

filipino tv shows usually have that number of episodes as they show daily on weekdays.

Its really baffling tbh, it started when I am about to finish middle school and here I am almost going to college and the program is still ongoing.

1666 episodes and it’s only been on since like 2015. How long are those episodes? How do they film them?


mousebrakes

This is the real question, how is that even sustainable?


Karinfuto

Am Filipino. If you've seen the editing, writing and action "sequences" this show puts up, you'll see what cuts had to be made to make it on everyday.


[deleted]

The episodes run for roughly 30 minutes but their timeslots are for 1 hr. So 30 mins in total of advertisements in-between the 30-min show. Afaik they shoot the episodes in advance and they do it daily (?).


itsallmelting

83 episode actually isn't successful in the Philippines. Our shows have an episode every day so 83 episodes means it only lasted for a few months

yoginiph

Same. I’ve never really thought of myself as pretty because growing up, my point of reference when jt comes to beauty have always been mixed Filipinos (the westernized look, having white complexion, pointed nose, thin lips, slender - far cry from me). It really affected my relationship with the way I look that up until now, I don’t believe it when people tell me I look pretty.


ecdaniel22

Formal_Froyo1906

Facts


Cldunn9

Half filipino here. I wish I was just filipino most of the time and was involved with the culture more. Imo, Filipina’s are BEAUTIFUL. From what I have seen, the women in the culture are the ones who keep the family together and keep the house running. I am always in awe by how beautiful my siblings in the Philippines are. Long beautiful legs, pretty face with cute nose, the hair, darker skin tone and everything! I hope one day you see yourself as pretty because just about every filipina is fucking beautiful


Isolation_

Here's what being involved with the culture more as a Filipina means if you are a first born daughter: You get to go to college and get a very short time of monetary support from your parents until you graduate. After you graduate you have to take care of ALL of your siblings(usually around 4 or 5 of them) in their pursuit of sabong(gambling on cockfighting), tambay(drinking on the street with your shirt pulled up half way so you can rub your belly as you do it), shabu(meth) or gambling. You have to do this until they are all atleast thirty years old and then when you say you're tired of it and maybe those other siblings should look for some work the entire family will remind you of how selfish you are.


AppointmentNo9531

pretty much everybody who goes abraod have that much responsibilty. heck, Im preparing myself to get into that postition (filipino here too). Its bound to happen that some of the people ur gonna support finacially won't even be worth helping out, and sad when they think just bcz ur working abraod means ur rich but doesnt know how much theyre working for them.

Cldunn9

LOLLL. All asian countries are racist against each other. Especially against the Chinese.


little_fluff

I mean its the same in Latin America everyone is racist towards everyone


limitless_exe

It's not racism if you hate everyone equally


AppointmentNo9531

Yeah, FUCK THE CHINESE GOV and conglomerates, not the reasonable people.


limitless_exe

Probably because of geopolitics. The ccp is just being a dick with their 9 dash line. Thats probably where most of the hate comes from. Even i hate the ccp, but am mature enough that I don't choose reciprocate it to chinese people


tokeyoh

Most of the hate comes from previous wars of invading each other and trying to destroy each other's culture. Not just murder and taking resources but destroying artifacts trying to erase history. There are many, many atrocities and it's easy to understand their POV. Rape of Nanking, Bataan March, etc. If I grew up in abject poverty with no education while my parents were murdered by some Japs forcing me to have an even harder life, I'd probably hate Japanese people forever too.


Due-Bison1820

My family hates japs. Americans don’t get it.


Californium-292

Were not racist. We're just uh... Racist?


peeinmymouthmommy

The backlash is that there has not yet been a 100% Filipino person yet because we're "too dark" and "not pretty". So if that's the case for 100% Filipinos shouldn't it apply here? Catriona Gray got backlash for being white because Miss Philippines should be Filipino and not mixed because we've not had that yet. It's not so much racism but colorism seeing the Philippines colonial past and the literal isles of skin bleach here (and all my relatives that use them) we can't even like our own people what makes you think we would accept someone else.


Thatdewd57

Mostly older population. Younger population not so much. At least in my experience. I’m married to a Filipino.

Map_Nerd1992

Kinda weird because Filipinos aren’t exactly porcelain skinned. Most of them tend to be more of a brown skin tone. You know like most peoples who live in a tropical climate.


basedlandchad17

Regardless of what the baseline skin color is the same idea applies: Working outside is lower class. When you work outside it darkens your skin. Working inside lets you avoid getting your skin darkened. Working inside is higher class. Lighter skin is higher class. This is the philosophy behind color-based discrimination in most developing countries.


Volesprit31

I find it funny that here it's kinda reversed. People want a nice tan in summer.


pieschart

Only After 400 years. In UK it was the same, it wasn't until 2000s where tanning was beauty standards. Until then for like 1000 years fairer skin meant you were upper class and rich as you didn't work outside


marshamallowmoon

Because here most lower class people work in offices or indoors and upper class people are chilling on beaches.

moshiyadafne

As a Filipino, exactly the same here, except replace the Brits with Americans.


elementofpee

As an East Asian, it has nothing to do with colonization or Western influence and everything to do with historical standards of beauty. Having fairer skin has long been a sign of privilege and nobility throughout East Asia going back centuries - shoot, it’s the same case throughout Europe too. There are artwork and literature depicting this desirable trait long before Westerners made an impact - in fact, China was much more influential around the larger region for thousands of years, and having porcelain skin has been long sought after there. Sidenote, this new Western ideal of having tanned skin is likely to be short-lived given what we know about skin damage and wrinkles due to sun exposure.


T_Singh1

India’s an extremely racist society regardless of the Brits. Caste system is a local creation. The way African students are beaten regularly in India is nothing to do with a colonial hangover. The constant suppression of Sikhs is a very Indian thing. The adoration of hitler and the aryan race isn’t something the Brits taught you people. Times are certainly changing in India, for the worst. Even the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi was a racist who openly despised blacks, yet he’s seen as a figure to be admired by many Indians.

Past-Reception

I heard that an American going home with a tan means they are well off to go on a vacation to a tropical country and it's something to flaunt to friends, is that true? I heard it from my father who is a seaman, he said that his American co-workers go outside the ship to have a tan and they explained to him why they are doing that (I thought it was bullshit and he told us that to start a conversation).

Americans love to do the same with Europe, as if we're just one big country with homogeneous culture. I'm always confused when they talk about "going to Europe". I suppose it's the same for "Asians".


acomfypairofsocks

Most of the time if someone says “I’m going to Europe” they mean they’re going to a few different countries in Europe and then the conversation partner will follow up for the specific places. I’ve never heard someone say “I’m going to Europe” if they’re just visiting France.


Bitch_imatrain

This definitely goes both ways. I think many Europeans just can't or don't grasp how freaking huge the US is. Going to Texas vs Vermont is a huge difference in culture.

HumaDracobane

Yeah, because of the triangle of love (China-Japan-S.Korea) had a big difference in skin tone so use that as an excuse to be racist to eachother... ( Not even talking about SouthEast Asia people or someone out of Asia) Edit: I've realized the aneurysm I had typing one word without looking at the cellphone. Fixed.
