"Maputi ka lang, hindi ka maganda." "Maganda ka sana maitim ka lang." I wish we are able to learn that skin tones do not define our beauty. We are beautiful in our own special ways and accept who you are.
True, my classmate is white and I heard my other classmate gossiping about her telling she's just white but she's not beautiful. Just sharing. I just hate people like that.
This reminds me so much of family gatherings! UGh, ganda mo sana kaso keme ganito maliit ka, kesyo may pimples, kesyo may eyebags ka kahit hereditary naman (halata sa pagmumukha ng mga relatives ehhhh) it hurts -_-
Si ate girl na may accent, kuhang kuha nya yung perception ng iba sa atin. Siguro nga we tend to like things we can’t have? They like our brown skin, we like their white skin lol
And there is nothing wrong with that. It all boils down to personal preference. Why are these kids teaching you should have brown skin if you want a lighter skintone?!
hdcreyes question is, do you really want the lighter skin, or the influences of society makes you want the white skin? Most of the time, yun yung nangyayari e
@@k_jrin28 I naturally have fair skin and I love my skin tone. I was never into peer pressure. I am confident in my own skin. I have tanned before due to swimming but it doesn't suit me. I personally prefer my lighter skin tone. That is my personal preference. I wouldn't go as far as bleach my skin or do anything drastic though.. But that is just me. No to shaming. Don't let anybody dictate what you like or don't like. You don't have to be morena to be a proud Pinoy.
@@hdcreyes they aren't teaching you to have brown skin, it's more of a critique on how the media continuously perpetuates the image of pale skin as the standard of beauty. Obviously, if you want to stay the pale or tan, that's up to you. But truth of the matter is, these commercials and abundance of whitening and bleaching products is harmful and causes insecurities, bullying, and self esteem issues.
@@erikabautista7072 Let me reiterate that if a certain ad doesn't speak to you then you can simply ignore it. As a consumer, each one of us has the power to support the brands/products that we believe in or that work for us. We create the demand and companies will have no choice but to put out products that will be profitable for them. This video was shaming the Pinoys who want to lighten their skin. Respect means you should not force your opinions/beliefs on others. I can be a proud Pinay with my naturally fair skin. People can be proud Pinoy with their gluta skin. Being a proud Filipino is not limited to your skin tone. They should not project their insecurities about their skin tone to others. Instead, they should educate and preach about welcoming everyone regardless of skin or race or whatever. They should be promoting love, peace and respect. Ang dami kasi na kung anu-ano pa ang pinaglalaban. The discussion should not be about the color of the skin. Beauty and confidence starts from the inside. It is not dependent on ads you see on billboards and TV nor from other people.
damn. I remember auditioning for a role for our school play. I thought my acting was superb but they offered me to play the fucking witch. That wrecked my self esteem so bad
I remember in gradeschool, I was supposed to play the role of Cinderella. Nung pagdating ko sa school on the the of the play, on the spot akong pinalitan. Yung girl na pumalit sakin even has the audacity na gamitin yung gown na nirent ko.
@@SixHundredAndSixtySix i can’t act on it, that’s every filipino’s personal decision to love the skin they’re in, I’m not trying to change the world, just voicing my opinion like everyone on the comments section.
I think I noticed that as a mostly white person, more people make fun of me for being pale. I remember when I was tan a lot of people loved it and were very envious. Might have got some strange looks but mostly positive. I don't think anywhere really likes hair women.
Filipinos prefer whiter skin kasi nag mumukhang mayaman dahil di na aarawan while Caucasians prefer darker skin dahil sa lugar nila, only wealthy people can afford going to tropical places kaya nag mumukhang mayaman mga tanned skin Edit: guys, I'm not saying this is applicable to every Caucasians but according to what we were taught and some anthropologists, Caucasians prefer fairer skin but that changed when people stopped working in manual labor and start working indoors etc. Around 1950s ata? So kalma guys. 2020 na ngayon and nag babago ang preferences and reasons kung bakit prefer nila ng dark skin ☺️
Actually I disagree with Caucasians wanting dark skin because one would look well travelled. Caucasuans in the west don't really like to look pale because it doesn't seem healthy. They generally prefer to look bronzed because they perceive it to look "better" than being pale af. It has nothing to do with looking rich (at least most of the time) 😊 Source: I live in the West
Tama. And I think Filipino beauty standard , similar lang sa ibang asian countries particular sa desirable na color ng balat. Pare-pareho lang tayu....
@@emmanuel2333 actually, before tayo ma colonized ng Spaniards, pinapahalagahan na nang ating nga ninuno ang balat nila. Lalo na sa mga babae kaya ang mga binukot (anak ng datu) bawal maarawan
True, but it's still a problem nonetheless (colorism/ preferrance to western features) , no matter what country they may come from. That's why people are speaking up
I'd rather stay brown and get insulted for not being their ideal than to try to be something I'm not. I'm proud and people use my color to let me down but those people are just hypocrites and I don't want to join a bandwagon full of toxicity.
In our theater play mas pinili ng mga teachers yun mga mapuputi even though mas magilang magdilever ng speech at mag act yung morena na dapat bida. Hindi naman sa mababa ang tingin ko sa mapuputi, it's just I think it's unfair because for me it's the hardwork that counts...
Yup, hindi lang naman kasi tungkol sa preference ang pinaguusapan dito eh. Okay lang kung gusto mo nang Maputi or morena or Maiitim walang problema dun. Nagkakaroon ng problema pag nag kakaroon ng privilege yung isa doon, katulad sa atin yung mapuputi ang may privilege, Philippine media palang kita na agad na mas pabor yung media sa mapuputi. Kailangan mag keep up ng mga darker skintone para lang magkaroon ng roles or what...
Almost every filipino prefers white skin, straight long hair, perfect nose, peach blossom eyes, hour-glass figure, and long legs, the lighter the skin tone the better, and face without any blemishes.
okay here’s my take: the whitewashing industry IS toxic. unlike the west wanting to tan, i feel as though asia puts more pressure in needing to look a certain way. promoting and advertising light skin to an audience with a majority of tan skin is harmful, especially to the youth. we shouldn’t be okay-ing this. let’s be real, being light is a privilege. it’s no longer just a preference, but a mindset we should go against.
i agree that it can really be harmful, scientifically it is unhealthy to be pale or white in a tropical country...plus most sunscreens are also harmful for the environment (sa sea for example) so it doesn’t only harm the people but also the environment
It's crazy because I've always been teased and made fun of for being too pale. Being told I look sick or like I'm dying. Having people tell me I'd look better if I got a tan, asking why I dont use tanning beds or tanning lotion. I've been told guys would find me more attractive if I tanned. When I went through an eating disorder I was also told I wouldn't look as big if I tanned. It's not in the same playing field as whitewashing but there is a pressure here in the west to be tan more than some think. It all needs to be addressed, there's shouldn't be pressure to change your body.
Pare-pareho namang toxic ang whitening and tanning. Toxic sa mental at physical health. Kung dito privilege ang pagiging maputi, sa West naman ang pagiging tanned.
@49jubilee sorry if you can't get the slang, i just wanted to cheer other girls up :) i respect your opion we actually have our own preference so that's why i say na JUST ENJOY WHAT MAKES YOU COMPLETE ♡. And honey im not against anything duh. Aga mo naman e breakfast ka muna hihi
"Brown skin, White minds." I forgot who quoted this but it is the first thing that came to mind about this topic. Though I think it applies in most aspect in today's Filipino society. Not sure about the other countries. Correct me if I am mistaken. :)
How about yung discrimination ng mga tagalog s aming mga tga visayas at mindanao? Note: Apologies if this comment disturbed some readers. I just want to say sa mga tagalog n stop asking us vismin if we are aswang/mananangal o mambabarang. Also don’t laugh at our accents, if we do not know a tagalog word pls teach us don’t mock us. Pls understand that we are used to speaking English more than tagalog. We only one tagalog subject and the rest are in English. Thank you.
Tomo... Or probinsyano in general. Its as if we are living in a poorer country. Kung tutuusin nahigop nila ang pera mula sa vismin dahil andoon ang kapitolyo ng bansa. And guess what? Di namin kaylangan mag antay ng madaming oras sa traffic papuntang skwela at opisina.
I dont know why BUT I hope parents change their own perspectives like, they are the one who said *"your not pretty enough" , "ang itim itim mo.", "you look fat" , "tignan mo siya ang ayos ayos tignan."* . That words make a person feel down and it make the person start to change how she/he look at her/himself. Love your skin color. Embrace your own beauty. Even Beauty Queens have problems on their skin. 😚
@@sheshe9678 Right. I, myself is 5-ft tall and I think for Pinays, hindi naman malaking issue yung height. My profession doesn't have a height requirement so keri lang. Growing up, I got ridiculed for my dark skin color and dry, curly hair. I witnessed other girls get mocked for having features like I do so I think, for Pinays, skin color at hair texture ang usual "issue"
Beauty companies use our insecurities and are the one who set the standards of what beautiful is. If you embrace ur beauty they'll run out of business..
Beauty companies follow the trend of standard of beauty. The standard of beauty is defined by most powerful brainwashing media in the world. Hollywood. Worshiping white plp(colonized mentality) got us into this mess. Filipinas don't worship white skin of east asians, they worship white skins of westerners.
@@miao8052 nothing wrong with wanting to look better. What makes it wrong is when you think it's an advantage for you over other people when it comes to many opportunities. When you use it to leverage yourself better chances in life, then that becomes wrong. Say for an instance, it's wring to think you'd like a whiter skin in hopes of getting picked by companies over other applicants. The very reason why many were outrage about the advert of a whitening product giving an idea of a whiter skin, better opportunities.
"After foreign colonization the whole North America, South America and Oceania (including Caribbean, Central America and Pacific Islands were became mixed) while Europe, Asia and Africa are more homogeneous .?!"
They are all so attractive. OMG, the girl in yellow is not wearing make-up and she is stunning. And the girl with the round glasses is Wow gorgeous, I would die for those curls. But my favorite is the guy in the blue shirt. He seems like he was raised well.
I agree how they say “they just want to say something to make you feel bad” - even from family members and friends. As a first gen Canadian Filipino you see how different beauty standards are in the Philippines vs North America.. we just need self love ✌🏽
I have brown skin and when I lived in the US, people adore my colour. I live in Australia now and people love my colour and find me beautiful. Embrace your unique beauty. Brown skin rocks!!!
kuya na nagka breakouts dati, how to clear skin po? :((((( ang hirap lang kasi yung pamilya pa mismo ang nang da-down sayo, unang tinatanong nila ay "anyare sa mukha mo? ang rami mo nang pimples" wow may salamin naman ako sa kwatro :3 I AM AWARE OF MY BREAKOUTS and your comments make me feel worse :333 pero sige lang FaMiLY iS LoVe :))))))))
Go to derma... if confident ka gumamit ng product ...without dermatologist .... try those product that is for sensitive skin.... ang importante lng namn for my knowledge ...cleanser, moisturizer, any sunscreen product ,and exfoiliate skin at least once a mo. Depende sa balat...and water also food intake....
I agree with the advise here -- to consult a dermatologist! Your problem requires a scientific solution & that will help you a lot! If your family can help you with the bill, just take the money while ignoring their verbal slaps, hahaha! Sabihin mo na lang, "thank you po sa motivations ha!" (i.e., reverse psychology).
When me and my husband (french) were still dating, he kept telling me he likes my morena skin whenever i get self conscious about my skin color since we live in Japan and it’s the same in the Philippines-having white skin is beautiful. He told me in France people pay tons of money to just have a TAN skin and he actually wants to have a darker tone but he has a hard time darkening his skin. We are like “milo at gatas.” 😂
Reality lng tayo guys, you can never erase thousands of years of tradition. Kahit gaano pa kadami ganitong klaseng videos, kahit gaano pa kadaming "love yourself" speeches, the day after, promise nakalimutan na itong klaseng vids and back to reality, which is "light skin western style" is still the one being looked up to. The eastern world will always love fairer types, whitening lotions, brightening, etc. And the western world will always love spray tans, tanning shops, basking in the sun, etc. See, thousands of years, the mentality is still there and will remain there. It's better to live with the reality at the back of your mind rather than to keep sugarcoating.
Growing up being Half Filipino that's white passing, I was always told I never looked Filipino so it really does blow my mind that being mixed is a beauty standard there but I'm really not here for it. Just know a lotta white people including myself wish we were tan and brown. I can get a amazing tan due to my genetics but once winter comes it just makes me wish I'm at the beach 😂😭😭. Makes me mad I could've been born brown but that doesn't mean I don't have brown pride 🇵🇭🇵🇭. Let's end this colonial mindset before the Filipino identity is erased. Brown and Proud!
If you were born brown and raised in a country full of brown people, you would wanna stand out so you would wish you're white. But in your situation, you were born to have white skin and in a white country so you would want to stand out and be tanned. People just want to have something they can't have.
@@ceerie7487 That's very true, it's just there's a huge difference between tanning and skin bleaching especially since we know the history on colonial mentality and our ancestors coming from Africa. A brown person shouldn't be afraid to get darker, they should enjoy being outdoors as much as a white person that like to tan. I'm lucky to tan, people like my dad get sunburns while Melanin in Filipinos is like a knights shinning armor, it's glistening, beautiful and it's protection from the sun.
LB Yui i disagree but also agree... i think it’s not the case of wanting to “stand out” and look different, but it is still the impact of beauty standards. Because if you were born brown and was raised in a country full of brown people, and you wanted to “stand out”, why not become more darker skin toned instead of white ?
Haha I'm half too. My skin that is always covered by clothes is pasty white but my forearms see a lot of sun so I have an almost permanent farmer's tan. It would probably take like 2 full years of staying inside to get them fully white.
Filipinos unrealistic judgemental beauty standards...... Maputi ang skin and kili kili!! That is why MOST half breeds or foreign vloggers thrive and make more money on youtube because of how they look!
Then? Whats ur point? U want people to like what they dont like? Wtf, having a brown skin doesn't make u ugly but if filipinos like white people or light skin people then thats not a problem. U cant fix it, and u cant push them to like that, its like telling people to go vegan but theyve been eating meat in their whole life. Smh
A short message: We should all be proud of what we are. We should embrace it. We should never make fun of our own ancestors and the tribal communities because that's where we came from. Why do people need to be white just to be called *"BEAUTIFUL"* ? Filipinos are racist of their own kind but appreciate others, i think we should give some respect and love to our selves first. Filipinos think they need to be white because they want people to notice their skin and their delusions of *"any outfits suits you if you're white"* . And also, please stop bullying white filipinos calling them *"You are just beautiful because you're white"* or *"You're not smart, you're just white"* . Just because they are white doesn't mean they are what you expected, also applies with every skin color. Brown/black filipinos are discrimintating themselves without realizing it. They think, the whites degrade them and have more privilege. And there goes bullying white people, making fun of them, speaks of stereotypes, and also downgrading them too, due to the brown skinned filipinos defense mechanism to reverse the situation (the situation wherein brown/black ppl envied white and then bullies them so that the whites would also feel envy and uncomfortable of their own skin). Stop these kind of bullying, stereotypes and colorism guys. We should respect every color guys, whether *BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW OR WHITE* . Let us love ourselves and not let anybody tell what we should be look like just for others to like us. One way to look beautiful is to be confident. You can slay ur outift, your persona if you are just being youself and confident. We have flaws guys, dont forget that. Embrace it, no one is perfect. Changing yourself in a bad way is never gonna make things better. Change your self for the better, for others and for yourself. And also, we should not be manipulated by these advertisements only promoting only white skin. It's okay to use those products but don't let yourself be fed up by these propaganda and manipulate u for ur whole life thinking white is better which is very sad and heart breaking. Remember, *BLACKS DON'T CRACK* for morenos morenas . God bless have a good day ❤❤
Ommmgggg thank you for bringing this up. I’m half black pinay and when I would go home sa Pinas...it was so hard getting made fun of for being darker and looking different. I hope it’s different now! Everyone looks amazing and hopefully shows people Filipinos are all different looking why should we whiten! We should maintain our brown skin!!
Beauty is not a seeing thing, it's a feeling thing. If you feel beautiful, you'll look beautiful. 'Beauty' products were served to us to give solutions to our insecurities. But it's always your choice. If you want to stay as you are, it's fine. And it's also okay if you want to change your self, as long as you feel beautiful and confident, do it. Don't hold back. Because as I've said, beauty is not a seeing thing, it's a feeling thing.
Sa pag-aapply na nga lang laging "with pleasing personality" eh ang gusto lang naman nila yung may itsura. Tapos pag nakasabay mo sa applyan yung mga may itsura sila interview agad ikaw tatawagan nalang. Nakakainis lang kasi di naman kailangan na maputi o may itsura sa trabaho pero dahil lang sa pagiging superficial nating mga pinoy nagiging "unofficial" requirement na sya sa trabaho. Napadaming talent na nasasayang dahil mas pinapahalagahan yung itsura kesa kakayahan. PS. Pagpasenyahan nyo tong konting rant ko di ko lang mapigilan. Di ako galit, medyo magigil lang talaga hahaha!
It's colonial mentality pag Causcasian tingin ng pinoy super ganda na or gwapo but back on their country they look average tapos pag may pinoy na naka jowa ng causcasian sasabihin na agad siya ng jackpot, the thing is we are always proud of our race yet we always downgrade ourselves without even realizing it katulad nalang ng sinabi ko na "ay nakaasawa ng puti ang swerte naman" foreigner or pinay you're always lucky that you found a girl wag mong ibase ang kaswertehan sa race or nationality no race is better than the other
The question is, where do this attitude and mentality come from? Can Psychology or Freud explain why we think like this? Is there a Ted talk about this?🤔
It has to do with colonization. Eurocentric and asian beauty standards. We're such a melting pot of ethinicities but only a certain demographic is revered and celebrated by the media whereas it should be diverse. We're getting there though. The shackles of colonial mentality is getting looser and looser and we're evolving as a society. Before, we had to assimilate to be accepted (Dona Victorina in Rizal's Noli) but we don't have to anymore. It's up to us, the next generation of parents to instill in our children that everyone can be beautiful regardless of race and color.
I think it’s the culture way back colonization. People with fair skin are often depicted as someone in higher social status because they don’t have to work in the fields. In the same way this happens in the west too. Tanned skin symbolizes the higher social status because they have the resources to go in beaches.
@@hannahsimbol8496 did precolonial philippines have colorism way before colonization? That's a concept I havent heard of before. I know there was a bugkot but she wasnt beauty standard.
Cloud of Reverie Yes, there was. Though it wasn't extensively researched yet, my history prof in upd said it is possible that Filipinos' addiction to whiter skin runs deep in their pre colonial history. The Binukot, specifically, we can all start from here why we have this mentality.
Yaaas! I have a really brown/ tan colored skin and this is one of my insecurities way back when I was in the Philippines but when I came to NYC I was sooo confuse coz alot of my caucasian friends always complimenting me on how good and gorgeous my skin color was and they even envied it LOL and this is when I realize that all of us have a different beauty standards and its all about perception its up to you where you stand... Embrace what you really are! We are gorgeous in our own way💅🏽
Confidence is the key, because once we start loving our self every time we look in the mirror, that true love and you can face anyone who criticize you because you can find what is good in you.. just remember before, someone told me na ay girl alam mo kapag nagpagawa ka ng ilong youll be beautiful that BS, i am happy with what i have kasi nakakahinga nmn po ako.. salamat.. 😂😂
i'm super insecure kase i gained weight over the holidays and my friends always point out na i'm fat na, even though i'm the just slightly above the average weight. everyday they'd say "taba taba mo na, may bilbil ka na." this caused me to eat less and at times even not even eat at all :(
I'm proud of how I look. I literally got rid of all my makeup and skin care products. And my skin has gotten much better. My acne scars are healing by itself. It was a long journey and I struggled a lot before I get to this point where I finally learn to love myself and embrace my beauty and flaws.
Hi this was me! I actually didn’t know the context/topic of this interview beforehand and this was the very first question I was asked. I thought it was about racial discrimination 😭🤣
Growing up as a filipino, I meet those beauty standards, having naturally pale skin, a bit tall nose with slim shape, chinito brown eyes, kissable lips (as they say about my lips) I always get compliment and special treatment, but still I have low self-esteem for some reason I still have insecurities but starting to embrace those things I’m insecure about, natatakot ako humarap sa maraming tao, taong bahay lang ako. I have encountered people being sour na pinaparinggan ako “sus maputi ka lang” “Just a pretty face/eye candy” “Mayabang kasi may itsura” (but I’m actually not) I, too wear makeup because I wanna enhance this beauty God given me. ♥️😊 wala share ko lang. no hate ♥️
I don’t live in the Philippines but I am Filipina. Even though I live in a totally different country, those beauty standards are still very present within the Filipino community here. It’s sad to see that things have not changed and the “whitening/bleaching” of the skin industry is growing instead of diminishing
I have tigidig and scarry pored face, brown skin, bulbous nose, not so perfect and not so white teeth, receding hairline, and im lucky just to embrace it. I cant be proud of it entirely, but im comfortable enough to accept my flaws because thats how i am. Importante marunong paring panatilihin ang kalinisan sa katawan at mukha.. If someday makaafford na akong magpa derma or magpa hair treatment, then im open to it. But as of now,i just have to learn to love myself inspite of my physical flaws..
Nakakatawa magbasa ng comments dito. Ang dami namimiss yung point. If you're born with a natural lighter skin tone, hindi namang sinasabing magpaka tan ka para lang masabing proud ka maging Pinoy. If you're morena tapos gusto mo magpaputi, wala namang pumipigil sa'yo and hindi naman sa lahat ng pagkakataon, di ka na proud maging Pinoy kaya ka nagpaputi. The point here is yung na establish na beauty standards sa country natin na deeply rooted sa colonization. Dahil sa beauty standards na 'to, nagkakaroon ng unfairness when it comes to situations like for example, sa mga customer-facing na trabaho (example sales clerk). Madalas, yung mapuputi ang napipili kasi kapag sinabing maputi, naeequate siya sa "makinis", "presentable", "maganda" wherein you can be morena and also "makinis", "presentable", "maganda". It's the unfair mindset and standard ng society natin ang issue dito, in my opinion. Dagdag mo na mga kapitalista na tinatake advantage ang mindset na 'to hahaha. Sana we can have a society that looks past these skin tone differences and more acceptance + equal opportunity regardless of skin color. On the brighter side, agree ako kay kuya na more open yung generation natin (I guess millenial) sa diverse beauty standards. I also agree with ateng lumaki sa UK na humans will always want something that they don't have. Bow. Dami ko sinabi. 😂 Love yourself. Be proud what your mama gave you. 💜
The light skin girl didn't speak of her own experiences, she spoke very generically. Probably because she has the stereotypical look their country views as beautiful. The girl from London spoke so well!
I’m fair skinned and have straight silky hair but I still got bullied because I was pimply and chubby. I got super insecure every-time I read magazines or watch tv
Every country in the world has their own standards of beauty. Unfortunately due to patriarchal colonization still affecting the entire world, each persons inherent beauty and worth is not fully appreciated, but instead scaled and measured by a toxic and dysfunctional system. Every person in this video is beautiful inside and out! Sending ❤ and respect from the States
Girlie with the glasses, your hair is GORGEOUS! It’s just like mine (except I’m blonde). I have so much kinmanship with curly haired friends because we go **through it** but curly hair is so pretty and compliments your face so well! I hope you have someone to hype you irl
Pag mapayat maganda/gwapo, pag mata a or chubby panget? Pag matangkad maganda/gwapo, pag short panget? Pag maputi maganda/gwapo, pag maitim panget? This isn't a simple comparison between two different races. This is a pure toxic judgements from immature and toxic people. And we shouldn't normalise this things, we need to stop it and start appreciating everyone's beauty. We need to stap that beauty standard thing. Appreciation everyone, appreciation.
Heres what I have to say: Do what you want. Love yourself, love others. Your color does not defy you their words do not defy you your personality however is a whole other thing. Kung maiitim ka at gusto mo magpaputi okay lang as long as masaya ka, kung maputi ka at gusto mo maging maitim okay lang okay lang din, basta wag ka mag racebend bad yun kung di niyo alam kung ano yung racebend search niyo si Oli London. Body Positive and loving yourself also means Caring about yourself enough to take your health into a consideration. Yun lang mga bes I mean I could be wrong 14 lang ako pero okay na yun basta sakin sundin mo yung ikakasaya at ikakabuti mo go lang ng go pero pag nakakasakit ka na ng iba kelangan mo na mag stop.
Lately I realized that most of the beauty cams filter has whitening effect, I tried to look for a filter that will not lighten my skin so that I can show off my Morena skin. Sadly, there isn’t.
Don't filter. Just use the regular camera and edit a little with Facetune (if you wish lang). The app doesn't lighten dark skin, just teeth if you choose.
In my experience, it's better to know what you have than what you want to have. No one is meant to be a copy of another. Just like cutting gems, you gotta know the gem's structure or else it won't shine. Society has always been biased, since it is in our nature to favor something seen collectively as good than something seen as bad. We are social creatures, and will therefore seek to be "one of the people". Nothing stays the same though. Earth's climate have always been changing, and so has society.
Straight hair can get really boring tho. Most here just want straight hair since its easier to handle in the tropical weather. Plus I noticed some Pinoys wanting morena skin or at least praising it especially if the person has clear skin
Kase mostly dinidiscriminate na ako agad sa ibang tao na nag gugluta raw ako tas meron pa silang statement na "maputi kalang" like makababa talaga ng self confidence gusto kong magpa tan😥😥😥 pero alam ko naman na hindi ako maganda hahahaha
ako I was born with fair skin pero pango at inaacuse ako nag glugluta ako. Tapos sinasabihan akong "maputi ka lng kasi" its really irritates me to think Philippines is a diverse country.
When I was in 10th grade our teacher/marching band trainor, insulted and removed me from being a majorette of the band, 'cos I gained weight and my skin got darker. Back then I feel really hurt and locked myself on the school toilet and cried for about 2 and a half hours. My self-esteem went very low to the point, I hated to see my reflection in any kind of mirror. And I never attended any parties and school events like prom, and graduation ball anymore. Because I feared that someone might insult and judge me again. And that's a really unforgettable and very bad experience I had in my high school years.
Brown, dark brown, tan, pale, light pale... They are all beautiful and i want yall to know that no matter what your skin color is or what you look like, you should always try to accept and love yourself. Telling yourself that you are beautiful in the mirror everyday will actually rlly help with being insecure!
The people here are generally good looking take the real Filipinos who are dark brown skin with flat noses and not having skinny bodies and make this Interview
thats so racist Philippines is a diverse country. I have a fair skin and I am a pure filipino. It annoys me this typical "Pinoy Look" Being dark skin toned.
My biggest insecurity was my dark circles. T'was very visible, people tend to ask me if I haven't had enough sleep, would constatly tell me I looked so stress/ or i looked like a zombie. Often times people would say "you're pretty but you have dark under eyes." I could still remember someone told me I looked like I hit some drugs but I look pretty. It gets me a lot one time I really had bad anxiety because of it. They obviously didn't know dark circles can be obtained through genetics.
Uhhh,medyo di ako sumasang ayon sa kanila kasi sa filipino, basta maganda...maganda talaga para sa kanila, mas marami lang nagagandahan sa maputi kasi mas nakikita kalinisan, pero kung maitim ka pero ayos naman ang itsura at biniyayaan ka ng magagandang na mga parte...Siguro nga may mga mang aasar sa iyo na maitim ka pero magiging tanggap ka bilang maganda. Yung pagiging matangos ng ilong, makinis ng balat, etc. kahit saan naman ganun ang gusto...yung nakabase ba sa "golden ratio" na hindi alam ng mga tao ay ginagamit nila. Kaya para sakin sa ngayon walang tunay na "standard" ang mga filipino sa maganda dahil ang maganda sa kanila ay ang katanggap tanggap na maganda sa lahat ng bansa. Ang mga kompanya ay nagbebenta ng mga produktong pampaputi at iniindorso ito dahil malabo na gumawa sila ng produktong pampaitim dahil pwede itong gawin ng natural sa paraang pagbibilad sa araw. At hindi rin nila ito maibebenta dahil ang mga tao sa Pilipinas ay natural na mga kayumanggi. Ang punto kailangan magkaroon ng salungat na epekto ang produkto para mabili. Salamat.
I think that it is absolutely fine if someone wanna be white as long as they're comfortable and happy about it then it's alright... also i think whether you're tanned or white you're still beautiful in your way.. and being tanned is not "better" than being white and opposite both are beautiful

Thankyou patrick starr💕
Omg
yaas gurl!
PatrickStarrr omgosh i love you
"Maputi ka lang, hindi ka maganda."
"Maganda ka sana maitim ka lang."
I wish we are able to learn that skin tones do not define our beauty. We are beautiful in our own special ways and accept who you are.
Yes hun. 😭😭😭😭
Finally you said it!
yeah, but sadly that's not always the case on people minds
"Maputi ka lang, hindi ka maganda."
My sister said that to me 😔😞
True, my classmate is white and I heard my other classmate gossiping about her telling she's just white but she's not beautiful.
Just sharing. I just hate people like that.
This reminds me so much of family gatherings! UGh, ganda mo sana kaso keme ganito maliit ka, kesyo may pimples, kesyo may eyebags ka kahit hereditary naman (halata sa pagmumukha ng mga relatives ehhhh) it hurts -_-
Si ate girl na may accent, kuhang kuha nya yung perception ng iba sa atin. Siguro nga we tend to like things we can’t have? They like our brown skin, we like their white skin lol
And there is nothing wrong with that. It all boils down to personal preference. Why are these kids teaching you should have brown skin if you want a lighter skintone?!
hdcreyes question is, do you really want the lighter skin, or the influences of society makes you want the white skin? Most of the time, yun yung nangyayari e
@@k_jrin28 I naturally have fair skin and I love my skin tone. I was never into peer pressure. I am confident in my own skin. I have tanned before due to swimming but it doesn't suit me. I personally prefer my lighter skin tone. That is my personal preference. I wouldn't go as far as bleach my skin or do anything drastic though.. But that is just me. No to shaming. Don't let anybody dictate what you like or don't like. You don't have to be morena to be a proud Pinoy.
@@hdcreyes they aren't teaching you to have brown skin, it's more of a critique on how the media continuously perpetuates the image of pale skin as the standard of beauty. Obviously, if you want to stay the pale or tan, that's up to you. But truth of the matter is, these commercials and abundance of whitening and bleaching products is harmful and causes insecurities, bullying, and self esteem issues.
@@erikabautista7072 Let me reiterate that if a certain ad doesn't speak to you then you can simply ignore it. As a consumer, each one of us has the power to support the brands/products that we believe in or that work for us. We create the demand and companies will have no choice but to put out products that will be profitable for them. This video was shaming the Pinoys who want to lighten their skin. Respect means you should not force your opinions/beliefs on others. I can be a proud Pinay with my naturally fair skin. People can be proud Pinoy with their gluta skin. Being a proud Filipino is not limited to your skin tone. They should not project their insecurities about their skin tone to others. Instead, they should educate and preach about welcoming everyone regardless of skin or race or whatever. They should be promoting love, peace and respect. Ang dami kasi na kung anu-ano pa ang pinaglalaban. The discussion should not be about the color of the skin. Beauty and confidence starts from the inside. It is not dependent on ads you see on billboards and TV nor from other people.

"May mga roles na parang sa mga school plays or school projects na typically pinipili ang maganda."
ouch. 🥺🥺
Tas ang role Lang na pwede sayo ay nanay😆
damn. I remember auditioning for a role for our school play. I thought my acting was superb but they offered me to play the fucking witch. That wrecked my self esteem so bad
I remember in gradeschool, I was supposed to play the role of Cinderella. Nung pagdating ko sa school on the the of the play, on the spot akong pinalitan. Yung girl na pumalit sakin even has the audacity na gamitin yung gown na nirent ko.
garlic bread same here.
That hit me real hard.
The real problem is that we always find ways to discriminate. No matter what we look like, people will always have something mean to say!

You're not wrong.....
Opo
Exactly what Filipinos need to hear. I miss morena beauty. I’m fair skinned, but it’s sickening to see everyone looking the same in ABS or GMA
True. Magkakamuka sila :(
You say this, but will you act on this. Really think about you said, and remember what you said once you find your partner. Is what you said true??
I like white women I'm Filipino 😂😂
@@SixHundredAndSixtySix i can’t act on it, that’s every filipino’s personal decision to love the skin they’re in, I’m not trying to change the world, just voicing my opinion like everyone on the comments section.
As Frederic Chen said “the beauty industry profits on people’s insecurities”
on point
si ate na kulot is actually enough to be model honestly
Yes ang ganda ng skin tone niya at ng hair niya😍
The british raised pinay is so true. here in London they loved my morena and hairless skin.
They don't like hairy morenas??
I think I noticed that as a mostly white person, more people make fun of me for being pale. I remember when I was tan a lot of people loved it and were very envious. Might have got some strange looks but mostly positive. I don't think anywhere really likes hair women.
The girl who wears round glasses with a curly hair, girl your'e gorgeous
Filipinos prefer whiter skin kasi nag mumukhang mayaman dahil di na aarawan while Caucasians prefer darker skin dahil sa lugar nila, only wealthy people can afford going to tropical places kaya nag mumukhang mayaman mga tanned skin
Edit: guys, I'm not saying this is applicable to every Caucasians but according to what we were taught and some anthropologists, Caucasians prefer fairer skin but that changed when people stopped working in manual labor and start working indoors etc. Around 1950s ata? So kalma guys. 2020 na ngayon and nag babago ang preferences and reasons kung bakit prefer nila ng dark skin ☺️
Actually I disagree with Caucasians wanting dark skin because one would look well travelled. Caucasuans in the west don't really like to look pale because it doesn't seem healthy. They generally prefer to look bronzed because they perceive it to look "better" than being pale af. It has nothing to do with looking rich (at least most of the time) 😊 Source: I live in the West
@@je.1873 I'm not saying this is applicable to all Caucasians but thanks for correcting me ☺️
Tama. And I think Filipino beauty standard , similar lang sa ibang asian countries particular sa desirable na color ng balat. Pare-pareho lang tayu....
@@emmanuel2333 actually, before tayo ma colonized ng Spaniards, pinapahalagahan na nang ating nga ninuno ang balat nila. Lalo na sa mga babae kaya ang mga binukot (anak ng datu) bawal maarawan
There is a difference one os tied with colorism
Not only in the Philippines they prefer pale skin, most Asian countries have that type of preference.
Philippines is an asian country as well, soooo
@@luluorenge south-east asia and east-asia are different places with different people, culture, etc.
True, but it's still a problem nonetheless (colorism/ preferrance to western features) , no matter what country they may come from. That's why people are speaking up
light light They didn’t say the Phillipines wasn’t an Asian country
India, south korea, pakistan, china and Japan also
I'd rather stay brown and get insulted for not being their ideal than to try to be something I'm not. I'm proud and people use my color to let me down but those people are just hypocrites and I don't want to join a bandwagon full of toxicity.
Rock your color.
Me too Im morena pag picture taking ako ung nangingibabaw kasi laht sa mapuputi 😂
@@idayuribe3800 Don't follow the hype be your own hype HAHAHA Atleast kakaiba ka sakanila
In short, end toxic standards. White or Tanned, this hypocrites would still discriminate smh
In our theater play mas pinili ng mga teachers yun mga mapuputi even though mas magilang magdilever ng speech at mag act yung morena na dapat bida. Hindi naman sa mababa ang tingin ko sa mapuputi, it's just I think it's unfair because for me it's the hardwork that counts...
Yup, hindi lang naman kasi tungkol sa preference ang pinaguusapan dito eh. Okay lang kung gusto mo nang Maputi or morena or Maiitim walang problema dun. Nagkakaroon ng problema pag nag kakaroon ng privilege yung isa doon, katulad sa atin yung mapuputi ang may privilege, Philippine media palang kita na agad na mas pabor yung media sa mapuputi. Kailangan mag keep up ng mga darker skintone para lang magkaroon ng roles or what...
Almost every filipino prefers white skin, straight long hair, perfect nose, peach blossom eyes, hour-glass figure, and long legs, the lighter the skin tone the better, and face without any blemishes.
Ano po yung peach blossom eyes?
Not really. I'm filipino, I prefer morena skin.
"Almost Every Filipino" in the present day? Not really
What are "peach blossom eyes" exactly?
nope. misconception
okay here’s my take: the whitewashing industry IS toxic. unlike the west wanting to tan, i feel as though asia puts more pressure in needing to look a certain way. promoting and advertising light skin to an audience with a majority of tan skin is harmful, especially to the youth. we shouldn’t be okay-ing this. let’s be real, being light is a privilege. it’s no longer just a preference, but a mindset we should go against.
worldwide dark skinned people are teased? why should we be okay with eurocentric features being our definition of beauty?
i agree that it can really be harmful, scientifically it is unhealthy to be pale or white in a tropical country...plus most sunscreens are also harmful for the environment (sa sea for example) so it doesn’t only harm the people but also the environment
It's crazy because I've always been teased and made fun of for being too pale. Being told I look sick or like I'm dying. Having people tell me I'd look better if I got a tan, asking why I dont use tanning beds or tanning lotion. I've been told guys would find me more attractive if I tanned. When I went through an eating disorder I was also told I wouldn't look as big if I tanned. It's not in the same playing field as whitewashing but there is a pressure here in the west to be tan more than some think. It all needs to be addressed, there's shouldn't be pressure to change your body.
Bella asdfghjkllkjkjhhfdut i’m sorry u went through that!!! and you’re right, we should just end promoting different appearances in general.
Pare-pareho namang toxic ang whitening and tanning. Toxic sa mental at physical health. Kung dito privilege ang pagiging maputi, sa West naman ang pagiging tanned.
Fuck beauty standards, gawin nyo kung anong gusto nyo napaka ikli lang ng buhay guys mag enjoy tayo ♡
Wala ehh..corporate world kasi...
@49jubilee sorry if you can't get the slang, i just wanted to cheer other girls up :) i respect your opion we actually have our own preference so that's why i say na JUST ENJOY WHAT MAKES YOU COMPLETE ♡. And honey im not against anything duh. Aga mo naman e breakfast ka muna hihi
"Brown skin, White minds."
I forgot who quoted this but it is the first thing that came to mind about this topic. Though I think it applies in most aspect in today's Filipino society. Not sure about the other countries. Correct me if I am mistaken. :)
its a book😊about colonial mentality
Its by E.J.R David !! My aunt got me this book as a present last year.

How about yung discrimination ng mga tagalog s aming mga tga visayas at mindanao?
Note: Apologies if this comment disturbed some readers. I just want to say sa mga tagalog n stop asking us vismin if we are aswang/mananangal o mambabarang. Also don’t laugh at our accents, if we do not know a tagalog word pls teach us don’t mock us. Pls understand that we are used to speaking English more than tagalog. We only one tagalog subject and the rest are in English. Thank you.
Kani jud kani beh

Mga sosyalerang Tagalog lang ang mga may superiority complex 'pagdating sa mga taga Visayas at Mindanao. Hindi naman lahat.
Tomo... Or probinsyano in general. Its as if we are living in a poorer country. Kung tutuusin nahigop nila ang pera mula sa vismin dahil andoon ang kapitolyo ng bansa. And guess what? Di namin kaylangan mag antay ng madaming oras sa traffic papuntang skwela at opisina.
Why tf is this so true
I dont know why BUT I hope parents change their own perspectives like, they are the one who said *"your not pretty enough" , "ang itim itim mo.", "you look fat" , "tignan mo siya ang ayos ayos tignan."* . That words make a person feel down and it make the person start to change how she/he look at her/himself.
Love your skin color.
Embrace your own beauty.
Even Beauty Queens have problems on their skin.
😚
Truth be told, the "look" of the lady who said she's only 5 feet tall fits the stereotype "maganda"
Tama! Tsaka hindi naman din masyadong maliit yung 5ft.
@@sheshe9678 Right. I, myself is 5-ft tall and I think for Pinays, hindi naman malaking issue yung height. My profession doesn't have a height requirement so keri lang. Growing up, I got ridiculed for my dark skin color and dry, curly hair. I witnessed other girls get mocked for having features like I do so I think, for Pinays, skin color at hair texture ang usual "issue"
Beauty companies use our insecurities and are the one who set the standards of what beautiful is.
If you embrace ur beauty they'll run out of business..
Is it bad to want to look better?
@@miao8052 absolutely not as long as ur motivation is for ur own health and satisfaction.
@@miao8052 it's bad if you hate your own looks,be aesthetic and rock your assets.
Beauty companies follow the trend of standard of beauty. The standard of beauty is defined by most powerful brainwashing media in the world. Hollywood. Worshiping white plp(colonized mentality) got us into this mess. Filipinas don't worship white skin of east asians, they worship white skins of westerners.
@@miao8052 nothing wrong with wanting to look better. What makes it wrong is when you think it's an advantage for you over other people when it comes to many opportunities. When you use it to leverage yourself better chances in life, then that becomes wrong. Say for an instance, it's wring to think you'd like a whiter skin in hopes of getting picked by companies over other applicants. The very reason why many were outrage about the advert of a whitening product giving an idea of a whiter skin, better opportunities.

Unfortunately, if you're Caucasian , you're Physically attractive around the world .
Except in caucasian countries where everyone tans cuz being white isn't attractive
true
White privilege as per se
Majority of brand models are Caucasians . When I say brand it means famous and luxurious brands .
Umm no that's just a stereotype, if you're physically attractive then you're physically attractive, that's that

They are all so attractive. OMG, the girl in yellow is not wearing make-up and she is stunning. And the girl with the round glasses is Wow gorgeous, I would die for those curls. But my favorite is the guy in the blue shirt. He seems like he was raised well.
Ang ganda nung may nakayellow ng damit. Ang sexy pa ng accent. Damn💕💕💕
Being around 20’s is when the strongest of being conscious of I look but its also the stage when I slowly accept and love it.
I agree how they say “they just want to say something to make you feel bad” - even from family members and friends. As a first gen Canadian Filipino you see how different beauty standards are in the Philippines vs North America.. we just need self love ✌🏽
I have brown skin and when I lived in the US, people adore my colour. I live in Australia now and people love my colour and find me beautiful. Embrace your unique beauty. Brown skin rocks!!!

😢Me too
Go to derma... if confident ka gumamit ng product ...without dermatologist .... try those product that is for sensitive skin.... ang importante lng namn for my knowledge ...cleanser, moisturizer, any sunscreen product ,and exfoiliate skin at least once a mo. Depende sa balat...and water also food intake....
Consult a Derma. Legit!!!! Based from experience solution.
I agree with the advise here -- to consult a dermatologist! Your problem requires a scientific solution & that will help you a lot!
If your family can help you with the bill, just take the money while ignoring their verbal slaps, hahaha! Sabihin mo na lang, "thank you po sa motivations ha!" (i.e., reverse psychology).
When me and my husband (french) were still dating, he kept telling me he likes my morena skin whenever i get self conscious about my skin color since we live in Japan and it’s the same in the Philippines-having white skin is beautiful.
He told me in France people pay tons of money to just have a TAN skin and he actually wants to have a darker tone but he has a hard time darkening his skin. We are like “milo at gatas.” 😂
Damn, I want me some Latino papi too.
@@andresvillanueva5421 Haha yes!
Reality lng tayo guys, you can never erase thousands of years of tradition. Kahit gaano pa kadami ganitong klaseng videos, kahit gaano pa kadaming "love yourself" speeches, the day after, promise nakalimutan na itong klaseng vids and back to reality, which is "light skin western style" is still the one being looked up to.
The eastern world will always love fairer types, whitening lotions, brightening, etc.
And the western world will always love spray tans, tanning shops, basking in the sun, etc.
See, thousands of years, the mentality is still there and will remain there.
It's better to live with the reality at the back of your mind rather than to keep sugarcoating.
Agree
Tska kanya2x preference yan..ewan ko bkit pti yan big deal n sknila yan.
We all have our own version of beauty. It's just a matter of confidence.
Growing up being Half Filipino that's white passing, I was always told I never looked Filipino so it really does blow my mind that being mixed is a beauty standard there but I'm really not here for it. Just know a lotta white people including myself wish we were tan and brown. I can get a amazing tan due to my genetics but once winter comes it just makes me wish I'm at the beach 😂😭😭. Makes me mad I could've been born brown but that doesn't mean I don't have brown pride 🇵🇭🇵🇭. Let's end this colonial mindset before the Filipino identity is erased. Brown and Proud!
I think it's human perception. The never ending cycle of never experiencing contentment.
If you were born brown and raised in a country full of brown people, you would wanna stand out so you would wish you're white.
But in your situation, you were born to have white skin and in a white country so you would want to stand out and be tanned.
People just want to have something they can't have.
@@ceerie7487 That's very true, it's just there's a huge difference between tanning and skin bleaching especially since we know the history on colonial mentality and our ancestors coming from Africa. A brown person shouldn't be afraid to get darker, they should enjoy being outdoors as much as a white person that like to tan. I'm lucky to tan, people like my dad get sunburns while Melanin in Filipinos is like a knights shinning armor, it's glistening, beautiful and it's protection from the sun.
LB Yui i disagree but also agree... i think it’s not the case of wanting to “stand out” and look different, but it is still the impact of beauty standards.
Because if you were born brown and was raised in a country full of brown people, and you wanted to “stand out”, why not become more darker skin toned instead of white ?
Haha I'm half too. My skin that is always covered by clothes is pasty white but my forearms see a lot of sun so I have an almost permanent farmer's tan. It would probably take like 2 full years of staying inside to get them fully white.

Then? Whats ur point? U want people to like what they dont like? Wtf, having a brown skin doesn't make u ugly but if filipinos like white people or light skin people then thats not a problem. U cant fix it, and u cant push them to like that, its like telling people to go vegan but theyve been eating meat in their whole life. Smh
A short message:
We should all be proud of what we are. We should embrace it. We should never make fun of our own ancestors and the tribal communities because that's where we came from. Why do people need to be white just to be called *"BEAUTIFUL"* ? Filipinos are racist of their own kind but appreciate others, i think we should give some respect and love to our selves first. Filipinos think they need to be white because they want people to notice their skin and their delusions of *"any outfits suits you if you're white"* . And also, please stop bullying white filipinos calling them *"You are just beautiful because you're white"* or *"You're not smart, you're just white"* . Just because they are white doesn't mean they are what you expected, also applies with every skin color. Brown/black filipinos are discrimintating themselves without realizing it. They think, the whites degrade them and have more privilege. And there goes bullying white people, making fun of them, speaks of stereotypes, and also downgrading them too, due to the brown skinned filipinos defense mechanism to reverse the situation (the situation wherein brown/black ppl envied white and then bullies them so that the whites would also feel envy and uncomfortable of their own skin). Stop these kind of bullying, stereotypes and colorism guys. We should respect every color guys, whether *BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW OR WHITE* . Let us love ourselves and not let anybody tell what we should be look like just for others to like us. One way to look beautiful is to be confident. You can slay ur outift, your persona if you are just being youself and confident. We have flaws guys, dont forget that. Embrace it, no one is perfect. Changing yourself in a bad way is never gonna make things better. Change your self for the better, for others and for yourself. And also, we should not be manipulated by these advertisements only promoting only white skin. It's okay to use those products but don't let yourself be fed up by these propaganda and manipulate u for ur whole life thinking white is better which is very sad and heart breaking. Remember, *BLACKS DON'T CRACK* for morenos morenas . God bless have a good day ❤❤

Everyone looks amazing and hopefully shows people Filipinos are all different looking why should we whiten! We should maintain our brown skin!!
Beauty is not a seeing thing, it's a feeling thing. If you feel beautiful, you'll look beautiful. 'Beauty' products were served to us to give solutions to our insecurities. But it's always your choice. If you want to stay as you are, it's fine. And it's also okay if you want to change your self, as long as you feel beautiful and confident, do it. Don't hold back. Because as I've said, beauty is not a seeing thing, it's a feeling thing.
When I was in the Philippines people really liked my nose. It’s weird, because I hate my nose. The grass is always greener...
Sa pag-aapply na nga lang laging "with pleasing personality" eh ang gusto lang naman nila yung may itsura. Tapos pag nakasabay mo sa applyan yung mga may itsura sila interview agad ikaw tatawagan nalang. Nakakainis lang kasi di naman kailangan na maputi o may itsura sa trabaho pero dahil lang sa pagiging superficial nating mga pinoy nagiging "unofficial" requirement na sya sa trabaho. Napadaming talent na nasasayang dahil mas pinapahalagahan yung itsura kesa kakayahan.
PS. Pagpasenyahan nyo tong konting rant ko di ko lang mapigilan. Di ako galit, medyo magigil lang talaga hahaha!
It's colonial mentality pag Causcasian tingin ng pinoy super ganda na or gwapo but back on their country they look average tapos pag may pinoy na naka jowa ng causcasian sasabihin na agad siya ng jackpot, the thing is we are always proud of our race yet we always downgrade ourselves without even realizing it katulad nalang ng sinabi ko na "ay nakaasawa ng puti ang swerte naman" foreigner or pinay you're always lucky that you found a girl wag mong ibase ang kaswertehan sa race or nationality no race is better than the other
Ang point lang is kanya2x taste sa beauty yan....
The gurl's accent is giving me chills😍😍
hey to you reading this comment,
YOU ARE ENOUGH.
The question is, where do this attitude and mentality come from? Can Psychology or Freud explain why we think like this? Is there a Ted talk about this?🤔
It has to do with colonization. Eurocentric and asian beauty standards. We're such a melting pot of ethinicities but only a certain demographic is revered and celebrated by the media whereas it should be diverse. We're getting there though. The shackles of colonial mentality is getting looser and looser and we're evolving as a society. Before, we had to assimilate to be accepted (Dona Victorina in Rizal's Noli) but we don't have to anymore. It's up to us, the next generation of parents to instill in our children that everyone can be beautiful regardless of race and color.
I think it’s the culture way back colonization. People with fair skin are often depicted as someone in higher social status because they don’t have to work in the fields. In the same way this happens in the west too. Tanned skin symbolizes the higher social status because they have the resources to go in beaches.
@@hannahsimbol8496 did precolonial philippines have colorism way before colonization? That's a concept I havent heard of before. I know there was a bugkot but she wasnt beauty standard.
Cloud of Reverie I think so but I’m not that sure. I just read that concept somewhere.
Cloud of Reverie Yes, there was. Though it wasn't extensively researched yet, my history prof in upd said it is possible that Filipinos' addiction to whiter skin runs deep in their pre colonial history. The Binukot, specifically, we can all start from here why we have this mentality.
We all know here in the Philippines that everybody judges every people's flaws like their perfect
YESYESYES
Exactly.
Yaaas! I have a really brown/ tan colored skin and this is one of my insecurities way back when I was in the Philippines but when I came to NYC I was sooo confuse coz alot of my caucasian friends always complimenting me on how good and gorgeous my skin color was and they even envied it LOL and this is when I realize that all of us have a different beauty standards and its all about perception its up to you where you stand... Embrace what you really are! We are gorgeous in our own way💅🏽
It’s so upsetting, we need more people to speak up
I was having a mental break down because of bullying a while ago then suddenly I saw this video it totally made my heart melt😭
Shoutout to the kulot girl with glasses! Hahaahasdf angkyut niya!

When I was in high school I auditioned in a play but they (my teachers) straight out told me no because I'M FAT and NOT PLEASANT TO LOOK AT.
Ouch!
Confidence is the key, because once we start loving our self every time we look in the mirror, that true love and you can face anyone who criticize you because you can find what is good in you.. just remember before, someone told me na ay girl alam mo kapag nagpagawa ka ng ilong youll be beautiful that BS, i am happy with what i have kasi nakakahinga nmn po ako.. salamat.. 😂😂
i'm super insecure kase i gained weight over the holidays and my friends always point out na i'm fat na, even though i'm the just slightly above the average weight. everyday they'd say "taba taba mo na, may bilbil ka na." this caused me to eat less and at times even not even eat at all :(
I'm proud of how I look. I literally got rid of all my makeup and skin care products. And my skin has gotten much better. My acne scars are healing by itself. It was a long journey and I struggled a lot before I get to this point where I finally learn to love myself and embrace my beauty and flaws.
"I've never been discriminated."
positivity 100
Hi this was me! I actually didn’t know the context/topic of this interview beforehand and this was the very first question I was asked. I thought it was about racial discrimination 😭🤣
Girl with curly hair is so stunning
Growing up as a filipino, I meet those beauty standards, having naturally pale skin, a bit tall nose with slim shape, chinito brown eyes, kissable lips (as they say about my lips) I always get compliment and special treatment, but still I have low self-esteem for some reason I still have insecurities but starting to embrace those things I’m insecure about, natatakot ako humarap sa maraming tao, taong bahay lang ako. I have encountered people being sour na pinaparinggan ako “sus maputi ka lang”
“Just a pretty face/eye candy”
“Mayabang kasi may itsura” (but I’m actually not) I, too wear makeup because I wanna enhance this beauty God given me. ♥️😊 wala share ko lang. no hate ♥️
I don’t live in the Philippines but I am Filipina. Even though I live in a totally different country, those beauty standards are still very present within the Filipino community here. It’s sad to see that things have not changed and the “whitening/bleaching” of the skin industry is growing instead of diminishing
Our physical appeal is just a shell and if you have a shallow personality and consciousness then you are just a superficial shell
These people makes me feel a little happy with myself. 😭😢
The curly haired girl is gorgeous
Mas gusto ko pa din Yung mga local celebs and models natin na morena/pinay na pinay than those half.
I have tigidig and scarry pored face, brown skin, bulbous nose, not so perfect and not so white teeth, receding hairline, and im lucky just to embrace it. I cant be proud of it entirely, but im comfortable enough to accept my flaws because thats how i am. Importante marunong paring panatilihin ang kalinisan sa katawan at mukha.. If someday makaafford na akong magpa derma or magpa hair treatment, then im open to it. But as of now,i just have to learn to love myself inspite of my physical flaws..
Girl in denim kind of looks like Marian Rivera
How do you accept others, if you can’t accept yourself?! Exactly! Start appreciating and improving what you have baby ❤️😍
This video made me appreciate my skin color. Thank you so much.
Request po sa education system ng bansa
Nakakatawa magbasa ng comments dito. Ang dami namimiss yung point. If you're born with a natural lighter skin tone, hindi namang sinasabing magpaka tan ka para lang masabing proud ka maging Pinoy. If you're morena tapos gusto mo magpaputi, wala namang pumipigil sa'yo and hindi naman sa lahat ng pagkakataon, di ka na proud maging Pinoy kaya ka nagpaputi. The point here is yung na establish na beauty standards sa country natin na deeply rooted sa colonization. Dahil sa beauty standards na 'to, nagkakaroon ng unfairness when it comes to situations like for example, sa mga customer-facing na trabaho (example sales clerk). Madalas, yung mapuputi ang napipili kasi kapag sinabing maputi, naeequate siya sa "makinis", "presentable", "maganda" wherein you can be morena and also "makinis", "presentable", "maganda". It's the unfair mindset and standard ng society natin ang issue dito, in my opinion. Dagdag mo na mga kapitalista na tinatake advantage ang mindset na 'to hahaha. Sana we can have a society that looks past these skin tone differences and more acceptance + equal opportunity regardless of skin color. On the brighter side, agree ako kay kuya na more open yung generation natin (I guess millenial) sa diverse beauty standards. I also agree with ateng lumaki sa UK na humans will always want something that they don't have.
Bow. Dami ko sinabi. 😂 Love yourself. Be proud what your mama gave you. 💜
The light skin girl didn't speak of her own experiences, she spoke very generically. Probably because she has the stereotypical look their country views as beautiful. The girl from London spoke so well!
I’m fair skinned and have straight silky hair but I still got bullied because I was pimply and chubby. I got super insecure every-time I read magazines or watch tv
Every country in the world has their own standards of beauty. Unfortunately due to patriarchal colonization still affecting the entire world, each persons inherent beauty and worth is not fully appreciated, but instead scaled and measured by a toxic and dysfunctional system. Every person in this video is beautiful inside and out! Sending ❤ and respect from the States
The girl with glasses is a perfect 10 though.
Girlie with the glasses, your hair is GORGEOUS! It’s just like mine (except I’m blonde). I have so much kinmanship with curly haired friends because we go **through it** but curly hair is so pretty and compliments your face so well! I hope you have someone to hype you irl
Pag mapayat maganda/gwapo, pag mata a or chubby panget?
Pag matangkad maganda/gwapo, pag short panget?
Pag maputi maganda/gwapo, pag maitim panget?
This isn't a simple comparison between two different races. This is a pure toxic judgements from immature and toxic people. And we shouldn't normalise this things, we need to stop it and start appreciating everyone's beauty.
We need to stap that beauty standard thing. Appreciation everyone, appreciation.
CONGRATS for 100k subs!! this channel deserve more than that number!!!
I like the girl's beauty with curly hair. I So love her skin too. I'm so jealous
Heres what I have to say:
Do what you want. Love yourself, love others. Your color does not defy you their words do not defy you your personality however is a whole other thing.
Kung maiitim ka at gusto mo magpaputi okay lang as long as masaya ka, kung maputi ka at gusto mo maging maitim okay lang okay lang din, basta wag ka mag racebend bad yun kung di niyo alam kung ano yung racebend search niyo si Oli London.
Body Positive and loving yourself also means Caring about yourself enough to take your health into a consideration.
Yun lang mga bes I mean I could be wrong 14 lang ako pero okay na yun basta sakin sundin mo yung ikakasaya at ikakabuti mo go lang ng go pero pag nakakasakit ka na ng iba kelangan mo na mag stop.
The girl with the round glasses uggh im dying ❤️😭
Lately I realized that most of the beauty cams filter has whitening effect, I tried to look for a filter that will not lighten my skin so that I can show off my Morena skin. Sadly, there isn’t.
Don't filter. Just use the regular camera and edit a little with Facetune (if you wish lang). The app doesn't lighten dark skin, just teeth if you choose.

One thing about being brown though is the sun doesn't hurt that much hehehe melanin powers
being maputi, literally being white or pale is literally considered as the best feature you can have as a filipino.
In my experience, it's better to know what you have than what you want to have. No one is meant to be a copy of another. Just like cutting gems, you gotta know the gem's structure or else it won't shine.
Society has always been biased, since it is in our nature to favor something seen collectively as good than something seen as bad. We are social creatures, and will therefore seek to be "one of the people". Nothing stays the same though. Earth's climate have always been changing, and so has society.
Straight hair can get really boring tho. Most here just want straight hair since its easier to handle in the tropical weather. Plus I noticed some Pinoys wanting morena skin or at least praising it especially if the person has clear skin
What about sa mga taong maputi na talaga or meztisa without using gluta or skin enhancement products? What are your thoughts ppl?
Kase mostly dinidiscriminate na ako agad sa ibang tao na nag gugluta raw ako tas meron pa silang statement na "maputi kalang" like makababa talaga ng self confidence gusto kong magpa tan😥😥😥 pero alam ko naman na hindi ako maganda hahahaha
I feel you
@@MayMay-ix8cd yeah :'(
ako I was born with fair skin pero pango at inaacuse ako nag glugluta ako. Tapos sinasabihan akong "maputi ka lng kasi" its really irritates me to think Philippines is a diverse country.
When I was in 10th grade our teacher/marching band trainor, insulted and removed me from being a majorette of the band, 'cos I gained weight and my skin got darker. Back then I feel really hurt and locked myself on the school toilet and cried for about 2 and a half hours. My self-esteem went very low to the point, I hated to see my reflection in any kind of mirror. And I never attended any parties and school events like prom, and graduation ball anymore. Because I feared that someone might insult and judge me again. And that's a really unforgettable and very bad experience I had in my high school years.
Brown, dark brown, tan, pale, light pale...
They are all beautiful and i want yall to know that no matter what your skin color is or what you look like, you should always try to accept and love yourself. Telling yourself that you are beautiful in the mirror everyday will actually rlly help with being insecure!
The people here are generally good looking take the real Filipinos who are dark brown skin with flat noses and not having skinny bodies and make this Interview
Lol what are you saying? This are average looking Filipinos already
thats so racist Philippines is a diverse country. I have a fair skin and I am a pure filipino. It annoys me this typical "Pinoy Look" Being dark skin toned.
Insecure dao sya sa height nya dahil 5 lng sya may kaibigan nga ako 4'7 lng tapos feeling ganda na ganda
Buti pa sya 5'. Ako 4'11 lang.lol
Alam nya nman kasi na maganda sya.
Pasok sya sa lahat ng beauty standards, yun height lang talaga.
confidence is the key
My biggest insecurity was my dark circles. T'was very visible, people tend to ask me if I haven't had enough sleep, would constatly tell me I looked so stress/ or i looked like a zombie. Often times people would say "you're pretty but you have dark under eyes." I could still remember someone told me I looked like I hit some drugs but I look pretty. It gets me a lot one time I really had bad anxiety because of it. They obviously didn't know dark circles can be obtained through genetics.
Uhhh,medyo di ako sumasang ayon sa kanila kasi sa filipino, basta maganda...maganda talaga para sa kanila, mas marami lang nagagandahan sa maputi kasi mas nakikita kalinisan, pero kung maitim ka pero ayos naman ang itsura at biniyayaan ka ng magagandang na mga parte...Siguro nga may mga mang aasar sa iyo na maitim ka pero magiging tanggap ka bilang maganda. Yung pagiging matangos ng ilong, makinis ng balat, etc. kahit saan naman ganun ang gusto...yung nakabase ba sa "golden ratio" na hindi alam ng mga tao ay ginagamit nila. Kaya para sakin sa ngayon walang tunay na "standard" ang mga filipino sa maganda dahil ang maganda sa kanila ay ang katanggap tanggap na maganda sa lahat ng bansa. Ang mga kompanya ay nagbebenta ng mga produktong pampaputi at iniindorso ito dahil malabo na gumawa sila ng produktong pampaitim dahil pwede itong gawin ng natural sa paraang pagbibilad sa araw. At hindi rin nila ito maibebenta dahil ang mga tao sa Pilipinas ay natural na mga kayumanggi. Ang punto kailangan magkaroon ng salungat na epekto ang produkto para mabili. Salamat.
I think that it is absolutely fine if someone wanna be white as long as they're comfortable and happy about it then it's alright... also i think whether you're tanned or white you're still beautiful in your way.. and being tanned is not "better" than being white and opposite both are beautiful
