Each Country can't overcome it. In other asian countries, they feel like fairer skin is prettier and belittle those who has tan skin. But tbh, your statement is still wrong because the colorism was not or not the only thing which causes the Philippines to not improve.
@@shanelleingrid I understand, because lm involved with a very attractive Cebuana mestiza, 👩🏻🇵🇭 And she told me many morena Filipinas envy her light skin complexion.
I felt it. Tatawagin kang sunog, magpapaputi ka na kasi, ang itim mo naman; since elementary days as of now i experience a lot of criticism about my complexion. Pero di ko na lang pinapansin iniembrace ko na lang ang kulay ko. Ito ako isang tunay na Pilipina isang morena.
knowing that there are people who still look down on others with darker skin color makes me sad :// im also a morena, and growing up ive had people tell me stuff like, "maganda ka rin naman, maitim lang" like, what? Hahahah anyway, it took a toll on my self esteem, and im STILL in the process of accepting how i look No one should have to feel bad about themselves for being themselves
Relatives even my mom made me feel less appreciated because of my skin color. I even tried whitening products. Sooner, i learn to accept it. (Ung anggulo nagpaputi sa muka ko sa picture. Pero morena talaga ako).
@Dank Memes I always admire people n Morena para sakin npkaganda nila Basta appealing sakin Morena... I don't like white ( bloodless😂😂😂) Basta maganda Morena mas maganda sila kesa mga mestiza or puti kulay.. love your color embrace it and be grateful😘
tru my own mom even said that maganda na nga ako ng ganito paano na kaya kung maputi na ako which is such a bad thing to say towards a morena/moreno. its like youre pressuring them to have a lighter skin because then they would look even more beautiful.
lmao that's a backhanded compliment. I'd usually retaliate and say "Is that suppose to be a compliment?" or I just don't pay attention especially if it came from my boomer relatives. I just dont wanna waste my energy on people like them. It's fucking 2020, people's skin color can vary.
i would be happy to see if next time, bisaya and tagalog naman yung maghaharap. so that once and for all, they would be able to converse about each other's misconceptions. and people might learn from it.
Sabrina yes, but cultural evolution of that word has morphed the meaning to being lighter/fairer skinned. The word itself has many connotations and backstories. The overall gist of the word is now ingrained in our culture and psychology and what we do with that information defines how we really look at “mestizx ” and “morenx”.
Too late for this. :'(( But, still, look at now, many of us admire you for having a Morena skin and being proud of it, plus the way you speak your thoughts is very admirable, Miss Ayn. 😘
The thing is, people start looking bad not because of how the bodies naturally looks like. It’s their fashion style. They choose fashion that doesn’t fit them, which makes them look stupid. They should pick styles that fit them so they look pretty.
the amount of backhanded compliments morenas get are so crazy e.g. "you're kinda dark but you're still pretty" or "you'd be so pretty if you were lighter skinned". people are so rude sometimes like can't a darker skinned person be dark AND pretty? we should learn to appreciate all types of skin tones.
@@chrislopez218 people can have their own opinion on what they find beautiful, but when their opinion has roots of colourism and racism, then that's when they should learn to broaden their horizon and examine the faults in their perspective on beauty.
And for the mestizas "di naman maganda maputi lang" which actually makes them toxic nangyari na sakin to e na masabihan ako ng ganyan kaya over proud ako noon sa pagiging maputi ko kapag may nangasar sakin my respond would always be "atleast ako maputi". Just sad, my pure mind when i was a kid got corrupted.
I’ve always been a proud morena. But to be honest there aren’t much beauty products that accommodate our color. I’m glad that there’s Sunnies that has developed make ups that really flatters our skin color. I’m also glad that artists such as Nadine, Kathryn and Isabelle Daza are getting really popular. I hope major ads stop using foreigners as models so that we stop idealizing a beauty that is not us.
Look at all this comments criticizing the 'mestiza' girl for being choosen when she's not that white enough para sa kanila lol di lang talaga sa mga dark skin nagkakaroon ng discrimination mga mapuputi rin nagkakahate comments, kapag linalabel na maputi sasabihin ng iba di naman ganun kaputi, maputi lang naman yan, siguro puro gluta yan, anak mayaman kasi, pasosyal etc. Etc.
True! Tb, people count kung meronsinong skin color and mas maraming na rrecive na insults or shits from other people. This is about, respect and dont be an asshole to ppl and telling them "maganda ka lang kasi maputi ka" or "maganda ka sana kaso maitim ka"
Meztiza[ me-stee-zuh, mi- ] noun a woman of mixed racial or ethnic ancestry, especially, in Latin America, of mixed American Indian and European descent or, in the Philippines, of mixed native and foreign descent.
Kasi nakakatawang tawagin na porket maputi ang isang tao ay mestiza na. Hate comments pala ang katotohanan? Diyos ko! Wag ka ngang magsinungaling! Tingnan mo ILONG niya? mestiza ba yan? talaga lang ha!
Sila POKWANG at AI-AI DELAS ALAS ay mestiza na rin ba dahil lang sa maputi na rin ang balat nila? stop changing the definition of mestiza as maputi. Kitang kita naman sa mata at ilong ng nasa video na hindi siya mestiza. Wag niyo naman kaming lokohin.
I only started appreciating my colour when I moved here sa UK..kase dito i got nothing but praise about my skin colour..that's what we need in the Philippines...all colours are beautiful!
One of my closest friend and even some of my relatives who has a brown skin sinabihan ako ng "maputi ka lang hindi ka maganda" di nila alam kung gaano naaapektuhan yung self confidence ko.
inggit lang sau un....may nagsabi na sa akin nyan....pero hello alam ko nmn ma maganda ako kasi may dugong banyaga ako....dont mind that person, insecure lang un or crush ka lang nun
Interesting episode! 💙 Suggestion: Filipina Muslim meet up with a Filipina Catholic, This is badly needed to remove misconceptions and promote peace to the viewers 💙
@@Jos8643 Peace! That's a wonderful question 😊 Nationality isn't a factor because all Muslims abide under the Shariah Law which states that a marriage (concept of dating is not allowed in Islam) between a believer and a non-believer is not valid in the eyes of Allah BUT the civil code of the Philippines recognizes marriage with or without solemnity between two Filipinos.
It really depends on the person's stand on that matter and his/her level of adherence to the religion. Just like a Catholic choosing to do this or that even if the church advises otherwise
@@Jos8643 To clarify it's Zamboanga City other are like conservative like don't ever go date or talk to those girl or else you might got marry them hahaha
That's the traditional definition. But words can evolve into varieties of meaning though time. Like the term "Lumaspag", which traditionally means "to rape" but now can be used to express being "Exhausted" like "Laspag na ang katawan ko sa kakatrabaho".
@@arknghel9081 I agree with the language evolution thing, but I think even today the term "mestiza" still exclusively refers to someone who inherently looks half European, which the woman in this video definitely isn't. White skinned Pinay looking women have the tendency to be called "maputi" and nothing more.
@@ClapBoomBoom In Filipino subject when we were in high school, there is a term called jargon in which a definition of single word may vary according to the people who will use that word. There is also a thing called "colloquial" refering to an informal conversation that can expectedly use slang words or borrowed words intended to approach a different meaning. So yeah, you can be playful with words. Aside from that, I don't think the term Meztisa or Mistisa is still exclusively refers or related to Spaniards/Europeans alone. If you are going to ask people outside about the term meztisa/mistisa/mestisa, you'll majority get an answer related to skin color so long as it is now more socially accepted by the people.
I wish Filipinas would accept themselves for who they are, especially the morena girls. I wish we didn't have to want Euro-centric features. Seeing all these celebrities in the Philippines get nose jobs makes me so sad ): I know it's their body and their choice but i wish they saw the beauty in what they already had
I’ve heard people tell me: “kung maganda ang isang morena mas gaganda siya pag maputi siya” “pero yung mga mapuputi, minsan maganda lang sila dahil maputi sila. papanget sila pag maitim sila” basically still means that being fair is more attractive. even if people still spread awareness about how beautiful being morena is, unfortunately at the end of the day fair skinned people still have the advantage 🤷🏻♀️ (unless ofc ur morena with lahi)
Mestiza is different from mestiza skin. Mestiza means a woman of mixed racial and ethnic ancestry while Mestiza skin means girl with paler skin, maybe dark to light brown hair, relatively larger eyes, overall looks like she's half Filipino and half western, has some spanish or european physical attributes and features.

*An Atheist and a Catholic meet.* Would love to hear insights about this because religion is a controversial topic here in the Philippines. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPENNNN
Opo, kailangan talaga😢. Since dito sa Pilipinas may misconception pa rin na kapag Atheist ka masama ka nang tao (na kasalanan yung hindi ka naniniwala sa diyos or any kind of religion). You will be questioned if ever na magsabi ka sa preference mo in terms of religious belief.
I like this topic! I am an Atheist and I always get bad impression with people once they found out, yung parang kampon kana ni Satanas kapag hindi ka naniniwala sa religion, wherein I don't even believe with the counterpart. Madalas hindi na ako kinakausap ng mga kaibigan ko once they found out. Take note: mga friends ko to ng ilang taon ha. To be honest, mas knowledgeable pa kami sa mga religious. I have read the bible several times. I have been to a Christian and Catholic school all my life. Kaya ewan ko bakit nila sinasabi madalas na wala lang akong alam sa religion o kulang lang knowledge ko kaya hindi ako naniniwala.
I’m Mexican and I married a Filipino. We went to Philippines last year to meet my in-laws and my experience wasn’t bad but a little strange. In public I would get stared at for my light skin tone or someone would compliment my eyebrows. (I have very sparse eyebrows so I have to use eyebrow pencil lol ) One day I was walking with my husband at a department store and a skin care seller stopped me and ask if I was interested in buying a beauty cream for my skin and being a foreigner in Philippines I already experienced retail workers pushing expensive products my way so I told her I wasn’t interested and then she asked me if I was Mestiza and my husband intervened and said “she’s Mexican” Technically I am a Mestiza coz Mexico uses the term too. I have mostly Spanish blood and more then a quarter indigenous American (Native American) Philippines and Mexico have same history with Spanish colonizers. My husband says he has some Spanish ancestry and I believe it coz I met his father side of family and a few look like they can pass for Mexican if they spoke Spanish hehe 😉 it was really nice meeting them I didn’t feel so much like an outsider when I was around his family because I’m from a different culture. I would love to go back to Philippines when the pandemic is over 💕
ate ayn is so inspirational. she gave a talk in our school once and I felt encouraged to flaunt my tan skin. Beauty does not lie in skin color. It's in who you are and how you connect with people.
I have a light skin tone. Every day, I encounter people that look at me and compare their skin tone to mine. Even some of them are children. The people around also say that they don't want to be beside me because they feel insecure. It saddens me because I felt like I'm crushing their confidence. And I don't know how to respond to make them feel empowered because I might sound insensitive. I just hope we can get rid of this absurd beauty standard in the future.
Growing up im so insecure of my skin color cos my mom is in the mestiza side while my dad is moreno. So i got my color from my dad. Growing up i used whitening lotions and soaps para lang pumuti kasi im bullied for having a morena skin. Hindi talaga pantay ung pagtingin ng tao sa mga morena kasi they prefer mestiza girls, na sila lang maganda and malinis tignan. My turning point was when i started going to the beach and loved it! I still feel insecure sometimes pero i dont let it get into me. We are all beautiful whether morena or mestiza. ♥️ embrace what you have all the flaws and gifts that you have. ♥️
Im sort of mestiza, and everytime i see darker skin people i am amazed by how fair their Skin!! Sakin kasi hindi pantay yung puti becuz u know the climate here in the Philippines sobrang hot...
growing being fare skinned, i was also critized by being “maputi” until now kasi parang wala daw akong dugo, anemic, pansinin sa public that i really don’t like. They also said na i use gluta or nagtuturok daw ako nun, sis i don’t have the money i’m robbed haha. Looking pale or too white na napagkakamalan kang may sakit was a struggle for me but right now i’m learning to embrace my skin color and be proud of it.
Seya Okuda wag ka ring mema noh tsaka siguro maitim ka kaya ka ganyan makapag-comment FYI po ha, may struggles din po ang pagiging maputi like lalaitin ka nila na porke d ka namn pilipino
Totoo to teh like one time hindi ako nakapagliptint kasi nagmamadali na ako. Sabi ng classmate ko para raw akong stressed, walang kain, may sakit, etc. Kaya after nun, baon ko na talaga liptint everyday.
Seya Okuda Seya Okuda haha yes i’m asian at hindi ako pa victim fyi. Di mo lang kasi nararamdaman yung nararamdaman namin from other people. Sasabihin nila may sakit ka kasi sobrang puti mo kahit you’re perfectly fine and healthy. Every skin color is being critized and discriminated by someone people like you sis. 😉
People see me as mestiza (my lolo is spanish) but i always loooove staring at morenas. That coffee colored skin is just BEAUTIFUL and warm and God-given. I dont agree that whiter skin is better than morena. It speaks alot about you as a Filipino, and people with darker skin is only uncomfortable with their color because of the standards of the society, and not because that color is ugly. Mabuhay po ang mga morena! Believe me, you are beautiful and there are ALOT of people who wants your skin. Just because you are underrated doesnt mean you should change. Embrace 💙
Oh really? Is your Abuelo really Spanish and your abuela a Filipina? Is he originally from Vizayas or Cebu?Then one of your parents must be a realy a mestiza/zo( Do you see him/her with an oblong or narrow shaped face? Sharp pointed nose? Big eyes and fair skin?).If you say yes,then you're definitely 25% mestiza then,no doubt about that..Pero karamihan ng mga Pinay at Pinoy ( 9 out of 10) na tinatanong ko dito sa California na mga kaibigan ko at kasamahan sa trabaho lagi nilang sinasabi na ang'lolo nila daw ay Spanish' eh wala naman silang mga facial features na maski na 25% man lang..Pango at malapad ang mga mukha karamihan nila.At nalulongkot ako nahihiya para sa kanila na sinasabi nilang mga iyon.Ayaw nilang mahalin ang totoong lahi nila..Mas ma attract ako sa babaeng mahal nila ang sarili at matalino talaga kahit ano pa ang kulay nila...
@@dinorizo5385 hehe yes po I am from (and I live in) Cebu. In fact my first name and my middle name is a spanish word 😁 (not the name I have here in youtube hehe) oblong face and pointed nose, maputi than the average. women in my family are tall (im 5'7") though I have cousins nman na sobrang pinay itsura. Dpende nman po un kung anong physical attributes ang makukuha. Hehe.
I find our morena skin beautiful, sexy actually. We can't open our minds to new things and constantly judge something. Crab mentality ika nga, I hope we should stop and be open for once. Remove the prejudice and biases, let's stop living by social norms.
@Julian Zehf Interesting. In Philippine context, you are considered Chinito if you look East Asian. Moreno if your looks lean more on Southeast Asian features. Mestizo if you are half Caucasian (usually Spanish).
@@glennjefferyi9263 Mestiza de Sangley is not a colloquial term. The colloquial term for a sangley is Chinito/ Chinita. She is Chinita. These are Filipino mestizos/ mestizas: Gloria Romero Gabby Concepcion TJ Trinidad Marian Rivera Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri Lucy Torres-Gomez Carmina Villaroel Rosanna Roces Jaime Fabregas Enrique Gil
@Quench Gamer TV for filipinos but not for the rest. Mestizo means being mixed with European, she doesn’t look mestiza at all, she doesn’t have any Europeans features, being light skinned doesn’t make you mestiza to be mestizo you have to be mixed with european
Mestizo/a is a person of mixed racial/ethnic background, especially of Hispanic, American, European descents. Clearly, she's not a mestiza and is probably a Filipina of Chinese descent. My father's side is pure Chinese, my mom's side is 1/4 Chinese and 3/4 Spanish. My mom and I are light-skinned, our skin is white like milk; however, we never call ourselves "mestiza". We are FILIPINAS! Period. I hate this collonial mentality! When people put way too much emphasis on a person's skin color and judge them based on that. We're all human beings! Just because your skin is 5 shades lighter than the person sitting next to you, it doesn't mean you're better or superior!
I think they could collab. They both have the chemistry to talk to a broader audience and reach more people regarding the topic of acceptance of one's skin colour and more. Kudos to RECreate!
For me both colours are attractive.May meztisa na sobrang attractive ganun din sa morena. Maputi ako lagi akong napagkakamalang mayaman kahit di naman tapos akala nila gumagamit ako ng frontrow products.Can't afford 😂😂
True. No matter kung pale ka or tan, someone's always going to hate. When I was a kid I was much darker, the kids in my school were all very pale and I felt like pinagdidirihan ako. When I got older I had depression and anxiety (not because of the skin color issue, but just my life in general) I spent less time outside, so I became pale. I also experienced bullying. People hated on me a lot, made fun of me, parang multo daw ako or wala akong k magkadepression kasi maputi ako. I would overhear women in public, strangers, just say "hindi naman yan maganda, maputi lang". People who didn't even know me would avoid me already, look down or look away from me. I felt like people would instantly decide they hate me whenever they saw me, so now I distance myself from others and avoid meeting with friends in person. I know that Morena people were discrimated upon before, so I understand that people are calling for the opposite now. I just wish we didn't have to do it at the cost of others.

Bata palang ako, I wanted to be morena so bad. My mom raised me loving all skin colors. I was envious of my morena friends. Their skin was so beautiful under the sun. Ah I wish I got my mom's skin color and not my dad's.
i am a morena and right now i have accepted my own color but what if your own parents put you down? like once while in a salon my mom told me not to use too light or too bright hair color because im dark "maitim ka kaya wag ka mag ganyan, hindi bagay" "wag ka mag pink kasi di bagay" etc etc. everytime in any family event or even school events our own family pulls down our confidence it took a toll in my confidence. Teachers even, "you could look beautiful if you are fairer".
Growing up as a morena, my Mom was even the one who encourages me to use whitening lotions and stuff, since I don't like using product much because I am really sweaty... I didn't follow her. In elementary I didn't really care much about my color because no one gives a damn but when I got in to high school, my friends, school mates or classmates would always tease me and call me like nognog, sunog, negra just because my skin is tan. I was so insecure back then, LIKE SUPER... SOBRANG NAEMPHASIZE LAHAT NG INSECURITIES KO, SCARS, SKIN COLOR, DARK SPOTS BUT AS I GOT MYSELF INTO WATCHING RUclips VIDEOS AND SEEING WESTERNERS USE TANNING PRODUCTS JUST TO ACHIEVE THE COLOR I HAVE, i started to become more appreciative of my skin color and I realized, I was punishing myself while I was so insecure about it because whatever others say, they don't get to be disturbed by my color, only myself has a say about it because I am the one who is going to live with my skin, my body and myself for lifetime and forever.
The Morena beauty now is being envyed by everyone unlike before. The appreciation started when the western (American) shows started to expose more about the tan beauty and as y'all know Filipinos were born to love the American influence.
watching this rn. wanna kinda share my experience. my step dad and stepsis are aussie so i grew up appreciating my skin color which is morena. the influence of adults to kids has a huge impact and it can make or break you as u grow
When it comes to makeup lalo na foundation, usually naglalabas ang isang brand ng 4 shades na pangmaputi and then biglang orange hindi tan or olive. Dun pa lang hindi na patas ang pagtingin sa iba-ibang skin colors sa pinas ☹️ Ikaw ang laging mag-aadjust.
just breakdown yesterday bc I was so insecure with my skin color and compared my self with others even to my friends, I felt so ugly bc of how dark my skin is and now, yt recommended this😭
I have light skin. Pero I love tanning. The tan glow gives me j-lo glow, thalia glow... Mukhang Buhay glow. I am naturally RED. Light skin pero red.. I mottled easily too so mukhang may sakit. Tanning slightly makes it less visible..esp redness. So sa mga Morena, you are so blessed!! Sa mga mestiza, blessed prin pero mas kita redness. Both are beautiful... pero gone are the days mukhang mayaman maputi. Coz Kardashians, Jlo, Hwasa .. Latina Celebrities are changing the trend. Season season lang... kaya either IN for me.. pero If i have to use aggressive methods to make myself Tan... then no. Kung tanning lotion lang and no adverse effect then sige.
I'm anemic since 6 y/o and it really affected my life, I am always excused in my PE classes, get tired often and even nosebleed if I overexert myself, I have irregular periods and it definitely affected my skin color. I am really pale and my peers or even the adults complimented my skin color and to be honest I take that as an insult, like they're telling me being anemic is a blessing in disguise. Honey, NO! It sucks cause I've been struggling to live a healthy life and do more things than being stucked in a cycle.
when i was a kid, i often get comments like how dark my skin was and all that so i was kinda obsessed to lighten my skin. But then, no effect and just a waste of money. Growing up, i managed to love my color and never mind what other people will say because we will get a backhanded compliment whatever our skin are.
I used to be bullied for my skin color when I was a kid. I never wore bright colors and envied my fair-skinned classmate whom people treated better, and who always got voted muse. Until noong grade 4 we learned about melanin in Science and I understood how completely natural it is for people to have different skin colors. I also learned that my bully lost his power when I felt proud of my skin. bully: Negra! me: Hindi ako negra, marami lang akong melanin! Alam mo ba 'yung melanin? bully: Yabang mo ah porke matalino ka! Never na niya akong binully uli.
Ive lived my entire life in Europe but the mentality between filipinos has always been the same. Tan skin is always looked down upon and I never understood why. Especially during the summer months when I get extra tan, I get the “Ang itim itim mo na” typa talk like whyyy the fuck are we judging our kin? Being Moreno/Morena is part of our asian identity yet...ugh yet....
Mostly people around me brags about being white. It seems that they had right to bully you with your color. I was pressured then to try a whitening products. And effectively but not fully obtained a fairer skin. I thought they will stop bullying me about my skin color but they're not, attacking you with your other imperfections was next. So I realized that it's really up to you to become a better person and not what others dictate you to do with your own life.
I’m 16 and morena and I’ve always felt insecure about my skin. Discoloration is more prominent on darker skin and some colors like white (mentioned in the video) really just don’t look good on me. I really wanna have lighter skin 🥺
When you grow older you’ll realize how beautiful morena skin is. I used to hate being morena because I was bullied from for it. I also avoided wearing white because I was told many times that it wouldn’t look good on me. Now, I wouldn’t trade my skin for the world. People in the west pay so much for fake tans; we have it naturally. The color of our skin doesn’t dictate who we are as a person. We all have flaws and we should learn to accept them. Yes discoloration is more prominent on morenas, but those with light skin have flaws as well. Self love is the key bb girl. You’ll realize how beautiful you are when you start accepting and embracing yourself 🤍
I'm mestiza yet i want to be morena kasi nung bata ako morena ako pero my lolo is mestizo and my mom so nakuha ko super ganda ng kutis ko nung morena pa ko kahit magsilabas ako lagi i have that goldy light on my skin pero now wala na, I do maintain my skin tone bcs I have sun allergy like that but i really obsessed with morenas
Oh hey I'm 16 and I want to be fair skinned too lol I used to be one but then I went to school and the sun burned my skin now I'm stuck with this brown color that doesn't even compliment my face 😼
I am morena but my mom is very light skin, but she never made me feel ugly for it. She always told me that my brown skin was beautiful and people pay to get my skin tone through tanning . Only as I got older and saw ads and beauty standard in Asia that I realized inwas "dark" but thankfully to her, as a child and teen 8 didn't have to grow up with that mentality even though I am fully aware of Asia's beauty standard.
It's weird cuz I'm a Filipino living in Canada, I love my tan skin, to me both these women have beautiful tan skin, it's such a small difference in comparison to the different complexion you can find all over the world. It's unfortunate that this standard still exists
I've always been insecure with my "fair skin". Madalas masabihan ng "kulay lang nagdala" or "maputi ka kasi kaya...". Kaya kapag nasa labas ako, hindi na ako nagpapayong talaga HAHAHAHA para umitim ako. I wanted to be tan. Gumamit pa ako ng tanning lotion(?) kaso nagka-allergies and hindi rin gumana sa akin. Puro ako paaraw pre-covid era, pag-uwi ng bahay e sunburn ang abot. Ang hapdi sa balat and nakakahilo yung sikat ng araw tbh HAHAHAHA kaso gusto kong umitim pero sunburn inaabot ko. May konting tan minsan, pero after a few days, wala rin. Ngayong time na bawal lumabas ng bahay, nasabihan na akong "kulay papel" (ang o.a. ng reactions nila) nung mga kaibigan kong lagpas 1 year ko nang di nakikita. Oks lang ako HAHAHAHA. Wala, skl. Nilalabas ko lang hinanakit ko. And to anyone na nagbabasa nito, remember that skin colour/tone (or whatever you call it) doesn't define beauty. We're all beautiful no matter what shape, size, or colour you are.
I actually don't understand why do people even say that having darker skin affect the beauty of a person. The constant reminder to people that your skin makes you ugly creates insecurities. Kung mapapansin niyo all the insecurities she had started when she was kid. As a kid i was called like this like that. When i was a kid i was told not ti wear white. You know we have to make every kid feel beautiful regardless of the color of their skin.
I always thought that the word “mestiza” was used so much on light skinned people that it lost its meaning. Mestiza is a word for mixed race and light skinned. I read about it in noli me tangere and one of the people who are mestiza there was Maria Clara, daughter of a filipina and an espanyol.
Mestiza Meaning according to dictionary and spanish : a woman of mixed racial or ethnic ancestry, especially, in Latin America, of mixed American Indian and European descent or, in the Philippines, of mixed native and foreign descent.
The Philippines can never move forward as a nation if they can’t overcome colorism.
OA mo. Walang sense
@@marccamillo5517 yikes, totoo naman sya eh
Each Country can't overcome it. In other asian countries, they feel like fairer skin is prettier and belittle those who has tan skin. But tbh, your statement is still wrong because the colorism was not or not the only thing which causes the Philippines to not improve.
@@haseulscurse well said.

Yessss
I thought the term "mestiza" meant as someone who was a mixed race and not simply someone who is light skinned?
Naging mindset na din kasi ng mga tao na basta maputi ka mestiza ka na.
para sa akin sya ay chinita. diba?
Sabrina yes, but cultural evolution of that word has morphed the meaning to being lighter/fairer skinned. The word itself has many connotations and backstories. The overall gist of the word is now ingrained in our culture and psychology and what we do with that information defines how we really look at “mestizx ” and “morenx”.
Thats the correct definition but nowadays it applies to pure blooded Filipinas who have lighter skin tone
I thought of that too.
Thank you so much for this Rec•Create!! I learned so much talking to Alex 💖
Ayn Bernos gusto ko po shirt mo :( pagawa din kaya ako hehehe
Too late for this. :'(( But, still, look at now, many of us admire you for having a Morena skin and being proud of it, plus the way you speak your thoughts is very admirable, Miss Ayn. 😘

The thing is, people start looking bad not because of how the bodies naturally looks like. It’s their fashion style. They choose fashion that doesn’t fit them, which makes them look stupid. They should pick styles that fit them so they look pretty.
the amount of backhanded compliments morenas get are so crazy e.g. "you're kinda dark but you're still pretty" or "you'd be so pretty if you were lighter skinned". people are so rude sometimes like can't a darker skinned person be dark AND pretty? we should learn to appreciate all types of skin tones.
maganda ka pero maitim ka and stuffs like that 🙁
the worst "gusto ng mga kano yang kulay mo" "exotic" 🤮🤮🤮
That’s someone’s personal opinion of what beauty means to them. Are you gonna try change someone’s perspective on beauty ?
@@chrislopez218 people can have their own opinion on what they find beautiful, but when their opinion has roots of colourism and racism, then that's when they should learn to broaden their horizon and examine the faults in their perspective on beauty.
And for the mestizas "di naman maganda maputi lang" which actually makes them toxic nangyari na sakin to e na masabihan ako ng ganyan kaya over proud ako noon sa pagiging maputi ko kapag may nangasar sakin my respond would always be "atleast ako maputi". Just sad, my pure mind when i was a kid got corrupted.
I’ve always been a proud morena. But to be honest there aren’t much beauty products that accommodate our color. I’m glad that there’s Sunnies that has developed make ups that really flatters our skin color. I’m also glad that artists such as Nadine, Kathryn and Isabelle Daza are getting really popular. I hope major ads stop using foreigners as models so that we stop idealizing a beauty that is not us.

Bakit parang may pagka 'white lives matter' energy ang comment na to 😂
Look at all this comments criticizing the 'mestiza' girl for being choosen when she's not that white enough para sa kanila lol di lang talaga sa mga dark skin nagkakaroon ng discrimination mga mapuputi rin nagkakahate comments, kapag linalabel na maputi sasabihin ng iba di naman ganun kaputi, maputi lang naman yan, siguro puro gluta yan, anak mayaman kasi, pasosyal etc. Etc.
True! Tb, people count kung meronsinong skin color and mas maraming na rrecive na insults or shits from other people. This is about, respect and dont be an asshole to ppl and telling them "maganda ka lang kasi maputi ka" or "maganda ka sana kaso maitim ka"
Meztiza[ me-stee-zuh, mi- ]
noun
a woman of mixed racial or ethnic ancestry, especially, in Latin America, of mixed American Indian and European descent or, in the Philippines, of mixed native and foreign descent.
Yet another prime example of colourism right?! Sigh...
Kasi nakakatawang tawagin na porket maputi ang isang tao ay mestiza na. Hate comments pala ang katotohanan? Diyos ko! Wag ka ngang magsinungaling! Tingnan mo ILONG niya? mestiza ba yan? talaga lang ha!
Sila POKWANG at AI-AI DELAS ALAS ay mestiza na rin ba dahil lang sa maputi na rin ang balat nila? stop changing the definition of mestiza as maputi. Kitang kita naman sa mata at ilong ng nasa video na hindi siya mestiza. Wag niyo naman kaming lokohin.
I only started appreciating my colour when I moved here sa UK..kase dito i got nothing but praise about my skin colour..that's what we need in the Philippines...all colours are beautiful!
One of my closest friend and even some of my relatives who has a brown skin sinabihan ako ng "maputi ka lang hindi ka maganda" di nila alam kung gaano naaapektuhan yung self confidence ko.
Same. Kahit anong skin color mo may sasabhihin talagang di maganda yung ibang tao.

Suggestion: Filipina Muslim meet up with a Filipina Catholic, This is badly needed to remove misconceptions and promote peace to the viewers 💙
@@Jos8643 Peace! That's a wonderful question 😊 Nationality isn't a factor because all Muslims abide under the Shariah Law which states that a marriage (concept of dating is not allowed in Islam) between a believer and a non-believer is not valid in the eyes of Allah BUT the civil code of the Philippines recognizes marriage with or without solemnity between two Filipinos.
It really depends on the person's stand on that matter and his/her level of adherence to the religion. Just like a Catholic choosing to do this or that even if the church advises otherwise
@@Jos8643 It's a matter of culture. 😁 kasi dito sa amin they go to that gf-bf phase with strict limitation

Ang mestiza ay half Spanish half Filipino(basically Basta mukha kang espnayol). It’s not just u have a whiter skin tone your a “mestiza”.
That's the traditional definition. But words can evolve into varieties of meaning though time. Like the term "Lumaspag", which traditionally means "to rape" but now can be used to express being "Exhausted" like "Laspag na ang katawan ko sa kakatrabaho".
Its 2017 kada palit dekada nag iibang meaning ng mga salita lol kaya nga may follow up parati yung mga meaning of word
@@arknghel9081 I agree with the language evolution thing, but I think even today the term "mestiza" still exclusively refers to someone who inherently looks half European, which the woman in this video definitely isn't. White skinned Pinay looking women have the tendency to be called "maputi" and nothing more.
@@ClapBoomBoom
In Filipino subject when we were in high school, there is a term called jargon in which a definition of single word may vary according to the people who will use that word. There is also a thing called "colloquial" refering to an informal conversation that can expectedly use slang words or borrowed words intended to approach a different meaning. So yeah, you can be playful with words. Aside from that, I don't think the term Meztisa or Mistisa is still exclusively refers or related to Spaniards/Europeans alone. If you are going to ask people outside about the term meztisa/mistisa/mestisa, you'll majority get an answer related to skin color so long as it is now more socially accepted by the people.
Lmfao true
As a Mestiza i would say na its always "Hindi ka maganda, maputi ka lang"
wew mestiza my half teh)??
I wish Filipinas would accept themselves for who they are, especially the morena girls. I wish we didn't have to want Euro-centric features. Seeing all these celebrities in the Philippines get nose jobs makes me so sad ): I know it's their body and their choice but i wish they saw the beauty in what they already had
truueee 🥺😢
I’ve heard people tell me: “kung maganda ang isang morena mas gaganda siya pag maputi siya” “pero yung mga mapuputi, minsan maganda lang sila dahil maputi sila. papanget sila pag maitim sila” basically still means that being fair is more attractive. even if people still spread awareness about how beautiful being morena is, unfortunately at the end of the day fair skinned people still have the advantage 🤷🏻♀️ (unless ofc ur morena with lahi)
Kaya nga.
Drink water every time they say the word "parang"

i was browsing the comments while listening & now I cant unhear
Mestiza is different from mestiza skin.
Mestiza means a woman of mixed racial and ethnic ancestry while Mestiza skin means girl with paler skin, maybe dark to light brown hair, relatively larger eyes, overall looks like she's half Filipino and half western, has some spanish or european physical attributes and features.

Opo, kailangan talaga😢. Since dito sa Pilipinas may misconception pa rin na kapag Atheist ka masama ka nang tao (na kasalanan yung hindi ka naniniwala sa diyos or any kind of religion). You will be questioned if ever na magsabi ka sa preference mo in terms of religious belief.

@@yrineacero3189 well, my comment was posted 2 months ago, check the deets

I like this topic! I am an Atheist and I always get bad impression with people once they found out, yung parang kampon kana ni Satanas kapag hindi ka naniniwala sa religion, wherein I don't even believe with the counterpart. Madalas hindi na ako kinakausap ng mga kaibigan ko once they found out. Take note: mga friends ko to ng ilang taon ha. To be honest, mas knowledgeable pa kami sa mga religious. I have read the bible several times. I have been to a Christian and Catholic school all my life. Kaya ewan ko bakit nila sinasabi madalas na wala lang akong alam sa religion o kulang lang knowledge ko kaya hindi ako naniniwala.
I’m Mexican and I married a Filipino.
We went to Philippines last year to meet my in-laws and my experience wasn’t bad but a little strange.
In public I would get stared at for my light skin tone or someone would compliment my eyebrows. (I have very sparse eyebrows so I have to use eyebrow pencil lol )
One day I was walking with my husband at a department store and a skin care seller stopped me and ask if I was interested in buying a beauty cream for my skin and being a foreigner in Philippines I already experienced retail workers pushing expensive products my way so I told her I wasn’t interested and then she asked me if I was Mestiza and my husband intervened and said “she’s Mexican”
Technically I am a Mestiza coz Mexico uses the term too.
I have mostly Spanish blood and more then a quarter indigenous American (Native American)
Philippines and Mexico have same history with Spanish colonizers.
My husband says he has some Spanish ancestry and I believe it coz I met his father side of family and a few look like they can pass for Mexican if they spoke Spanish hehe 😉 it was really nice meeting them I didn’t feel so much like an outsider when I was around his family because I’m from a different culture. I would love to go back to Philippines when the pandemic is over 💕
there were Austronesian descendant existed in Central America during pre colonial.
"Growing up, I wasn't consider pretty"
Me: tangina she's so pretty
ate ayn is so inspirational. she gave a talk in our school once and I felt encouraged to flaunt my tan skin. Beauty does not lie in skin color. It's in who you are and how you connect with people.
It doesn't matter what color or race you are ..To me you're beautifull
I have a light skin tone. Every day, I encounter people that look at me and compare their skin tone to mine. Even some of them are children. The people around also say that they don't want to be beside me because they feel insecure. It saddens me because I felt like I'm crushing their confidence. And I don't know how to respond to make them feel empowered because I might sound insensitive. I just hope we can get rid of this absurd beauty standard in the future.
Growing up im so insecure of my skin color cos my mom is in the mestiza side while my dad is moreno. So i got my color from my dad. Growing up i used whitening lotions and soaps para lang pumuti kasi im bullied for having a morena skin. Hindi talaga pantay ung pagtingin ng tao sa mga morena kasi they prefer mestiza girls, na sila lang maganda and malinis tignan.
My turning point was when i started going to the beach and loved it! I still feel insecure sometimes pero i dont let it get into me.
We are all beautiful whether morena or mestiza. ♥️ embrace what you have all the flaws and gifts that you have. ♥️

People see me as mestiza (my lolo is spanish) but i always loooove staring at morenas. That coffee colored skin is just BEAUTIFUL and warm and God-given. I dont agree that whiter skin is better than morena. It speaks alot about you as a Filipino, and people with darker skin is only uncomfortable with their color because of the standards of the society, and not because that color is ugly. Mabuhay po ang mga morena! Believe me, you are beautiful and there are ALOT of people who wants your skin. Just because you are underrated doesnt mean you should change. Embrace 💙
Oh really? Is your Abuelo really Spanish and your abuela a Filipina? Is he originally from Vizayas or Cebu?Then one of your parents must be a realy a mestiza/zo( Do you see him/her with an oblong or narrow shaped face? Sharp pointed nose? Big eyes and fair skin?).If you say yes,then you're definitely 25% mestiza then,no doubt about that..Pero karamihan ng mga Pinay at Pinoy ( 9 out of 10) na tinatanong ko dito sa California na mga kaibigan ko at kasamahan sa trabaho lagi nilang sinasabi na ang'lolo nila daw ay Spanish' eh wala naman silang mga facial features na maski na 25% man lang..Pango at malapad ang mga mukha karamihan nila.At nalulongkot ako nahihiya para sa kanila na sinasabi nilang mga iyon.Ayaw nilang mahalin ang totoong lahi nila..Mas ma attract ako sa babaeng mahal nila ang sarili at matalino talaga kahit ano pa ang kulay nila...

I find our morena skin beautiful, sexy actually. We can't open our minds to new things and constantly judge something. Crab mentality ika nga, I hope we should stop and be open for once. Remove the prejudice and biases, let's stop living by social norms.
She doesn't look mestiza to me. She's more of a chinita.
Maybe she's a mestiza de sangley?
@Julian Zehf Interesting. In Philippine context, you are considered Chinito if you look East Asian. Moreno if your looks lean more on Southeast Asian features. Mestizo if you are half Caucasian (usually Spanish).
@@glennjefferyi9263 Mestiza de Sangley is not a colloquial term. The colloquial term for a sangley is Chinito/ Chinita. She is Chinita. These are Filipino mestizos/ mestizas:

@Quench Gamer TV for filipinos but not for the rest. Mestizo means being mixed with European, she doesn’t look mestiza at all, she doesn’t have any Europeans features, being light skinned doesn’t make you mestiza to be mestizo you have to be mixed with european
Ive loved ayn since her taytay haul before. Shes just so well spoken. Glad to see her here in this kind of platform💖
Mestizo/a is a person of mixed racial/ethnic background, especially of Hispanic, American, European descents. Clearly, she's not a mestiza and is probably a Filipina of Chinese descent.
My father's side is pure Chinese, my mom's side is 1/4 Chinese and 3/4 Spanish. My mom and I are light-skinned, our skin is white like milk; however, we never call ourselves "mestiza". We are FILIPINAS! Period. I hate this collonial mentality! When people put way too much emphasis on a person's skin color and judge them based on that. We're all human beings! Just because your skin is 5 shades lighter than the person sitting next to you, it doesn't mean you're better or superior!
There is a term "mestiza de sangley" which is basically half-Filipino and half-Chinese.
I love how they use "and" and not "vs" on the title
So proud of Ayn Bernos for lifting up the morenas and morenos of Philippines in MUP🤎🤎🤎💕💕💕 Such a fierce qweeen!

True. No matter kung pale ka or tan, someone's always going to hate. When I was a kid I was much darker, the kids in my school were all very pale and I felt like pinagdidirihan ako. When I got older I had depression and anxiety (not because of the skin color issue, but just my life in general) I spent less time outside, so I became pale. I also experienced bullying. People hated on me a lot, made fun of me, parang multo daw ako or wala akong k magkadepression kasi maputi ako. I would overhear women in public, strangers, just say "hindi naman yan maganda, maputi lang". People who didn't even know me would avoid me already, look down or look away from me. I felt like people would instantly decide they hate me whenever they saw me, so now I distance myself from others and avoid meeting with friends in person. I know that Morena people were discrimated upon before, so I understand that people are calling for the opposite now. I just wish we didn't have to do it at the cost of others.
@@DobbysStinkySock kahit anong gawin nten lalait laitin talaga tayo ng iba.Date pag may nakakarinig ako ng mga negatibo lalo na sa public e naghahalo emosyon ko di ko malaman kung mgagalit o malulungkot ako.Buti ngayon nagsawa na ko wala n ko pakialam sa kanila kung may sasabihin silang panlalait kc karamihan talaga pancin ko lang kung sino pa pangit sila mapanlait.Di na importante opinyon nila kung mganda o hinde basta mahalaga e chill lng tayo ska hindi na nten ino-overthink yung sinsabi nila.

morena or maputi, we are all created equal and we should lift each other up instead of tearing each other down 😊

Same,but I guess I'm not isicure,cause I'm fine either both ways

Bata palang ako, I wanted to be morena so bad. My mom raised me loving all skin colors. I was envious of my morena friends. Their skin was so beautiful under the sun. Ah I wish I got my mom's skin color and not my dad's.
As a morena, no one really bullied me since my friends and I were the same colour
I started to embrace and love my skin color because of Ate Ayn, she truly an inspiration to me.
both complexion are beautiful :)
I am actually MESTIZA. Imma Filipina with Spaniard, American, Chinese and Japanese ancestry. 🇵🇭🇪🇸🇺🇸🇨🇳🇯🇵
This is so empowering specially to the MORENAS 💙💙💙
i am a morena and right now i have accepted my own color but what if your own parents put you down? like once while in a salon my mom told me not to use too light or too bright hair color because im dark "maitim ka kaya wag ka mag ganyan, hindi bagay" "wag ka mag pink kasi di bagay" etc etc. everytime in any family event or even school events our own family pulls down our confidence
it took a toll in my confidence. Teachers even, "you could look beautiful if you are fairer".
Growing up as a morena, my Mom was even the one who encourages me to use whitening lotions and stuff, since I don't like using product much because I am really sweaty... I didn't follow her. In elementary I didn't really care much about my color because no one gives a damn but when I got in to high school, my friends, school mates or classmates would always tease me and call me like nognog, sunog, negra just because my skin is tan. I was so insecure back then, LIKE SUPER... SOBRANG NAEMPHASIZE LAHAT NG INSECURITIES KO, SCARS, SKIN COLOR, DARK SPOTS BUT AS I GOT MYSELF INTO WATCHING RUclips VIDEOS AND SEEING WESTERNERS USE TANNING PRODUCTS JUST TO ACHIEVE THE COLOR I HAVE, i started to become more appreciative of my skin color and I realized, I was punishing myself while I was so insecure about it because whatever others say, they don't get to be disturbed by my color, only myself has a say about it because I am the one who is going to live with my skin, my body and myself for lifetime and forever.
Yes sis!!!!!!!!!
The Morena beauty now is being envyed by everyone unlike before. The appreciation started when the western (American) shows started to expose more about the tan beauty and as y'all know Filipinos were born to love the American influence.
I've watched this already and this got recommended to me a year later and I realized she's the english teacher in tiktok lol
watching this rn. wanna kinda share my experience. my step dad and stepsis are aussie so i grew up appreciating my skin color which is morena. the influence of adults to kids has a huge impact and it can make or break you as u grow
When it comes to makeup lalo na foundation, usually naglalabas ang isang brand ng 4 shades na pangmaputi and then biglang orange hindi tan or olive. Dun pa lang hindi na patas ang pagtingin sa iba-ibang skin colors sa pinas ☹️ Ikaw ang laging mag-aadjust.
Ako'y gandang ganda talaga sa mga morena. Lakas maka sexy ng color!
just breakdown yesterday bc I was so insecure with my skin color and compared my self with others even to my friends, I felt so ugly bc of how dark my skin is and now, yt recommended this😭

I have light skin. Pero I love tanning. The tan glow gives me j-lo glow, thalia glow... Mukhang Buhay glow. I am naturally RED. Light skin pero red.. I mottled easily too so mukhang may sakit. Tanning slightly makes it less visible..esp redness. So sa mga Morena, you are so blessed!! Sa mga mestiza, blessed prin pero mas kita redness. Both are beautiful... pero gone are the days mukhang mayaman maputi. Coz Kardashians, Jlo, Hwasa .. Latina Celebrities are changing the trend. Season season lang... kaya either IN for me.. pero If i have to use aggressive methods to make myself Tan... then no. Kung tanning lotion lang and no adverse effect then sige.
The morena girl is actually really pretty. Damn girl you make my heart go uwu
i love seeing this kind of content produce by a local channel. more power to re create! 💖
Let's go Ate Ayn!!!!!! Morena pride ☀️
I'm anemic since 6 y/o and it really affected my life, I am always excused in my PE classes, get tired often and even nosebleed if I overexert myself, I have irregular periods and it definitely affected my skin color. I am really pale and my peers or even the adults complimented my skin color and to be honest I take that as an insult, like they're telling me being anemic is a blessing in disguise.
Honey, NO! It sucks cause I've been struggling to live a healthy life and do more things than being stucked in a cycle.
OMG SO THIS IS AYN ON TIKTOK 🥰
when i was a kid, i often get comments like how dark my skin was and all that so i was kinda obsessed to lighten my skin. But then, no effect and just a waste of money. Growing up, i managed to love my color and never mind what other people will say because we will get a backhanded compliment whatever our skin are.
This is indeed a great conversation as compared to the manileno bisaya featured topic.👍🏽 I like them both! ❤️
but that morena girl's skin is gorgeous 😩 aside from that tan, she's GLOWING
I used to be bullied for my skin color when I was a kid. I never wore bright colors and envied my fair-skinned classmate whom people treated better, and who always got voted muse.
Until noong grade 4 we learned about melanin in Science and I understood how completely natural it is for people to have different skin colors. I also learned that my bully lost his power when I felt proud of my skin.
bully: Negra!
me: Hindi ako negra, marami lang akong melanin! Alam mo ba 'yung melanin?
bully: Yabang mo ah porke matalino ka!
Never na niya akong binully uli.
I love the way they tend to understand each other❤
Ive lived my entire life in Europe but the mentality between filipinos has always been the same. Tan skin is always looked down upon and I never understood why. Especially during the summer months when I get extra tan, I get the “Ang itim itim mo na” typa talk like whyyy the fuck are we judging our kin?
Being Moreno/Morena is part of our asian identity yet...ugh yet....
Mostly people around me brags about being white. It seems that they had right to bully you with your color. I was pressured then to try a whitening products. And effectively but not fully obtained a fairer skin. I thought they will stop bullying me about my skin color but they're not, attacking you with your other imperfections was next. So I realized that it's really up to you to become a better person and not what others dictate you to do with your own life.
THE MORENA GIRL IS SO PRETTY IS SHE THAT VOCABULARY TEACHER ON TIKTOK?
Oo HAHAHA
I love their no makeup look 😍😍 you go girls your both pretty in your own way
I’m 16 and morena and I’ve always felt insecure about my skin. Discoloration is more prominent on darker skin and some colors like white (mentioned in the video) really just don’t look good on me. I really wanna have lighter skin 🥺
u are very pretty ☺️ morena are very attractive 💗 don't be insecure to yourself. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
When you grow older you’ll realize how beautiful morena skin is. I used to hate being morena because I was bullied from for it. I also avoided wearing white because I was told many times that it wouldn’t look good on me. Now, I wouldn’t trade my skin for the world. People in the west pay so much for fake tans; we have it naturally. The color of our skin doesn’t dictate who we are as a person. We all have flaws and we should learn to accept them. Yes discoloration is more prominent on morenas, but those with light skin have flaws as well. Self love is the key bb girl. You’ll realize how beautiful you are when you start accepting and embracing yourself 🤍
I'm mestiza yet i want to be morena kasi nung bata ako morena ako pero my lolo is mestizo and my mom so nakuha ko super ganda ng kutis ko nung morena pa ko kahit magsilabas ako lagi i have that goldy light on my skin pero now wala na, I do maintain my skin tone bcs I have sun allergy like that but i really obsessed with morenas
Oh hey I'm 16 and I want to be fair skinned too lol I used to be one but then I went to school and the sun burned my skin now I'm stuck with this brown color that doesn't even compliment my face 😼
Im pale but im attracted to a morena girl in my school before i mean regardless of color theres still someone will find you attractive 💙
I am morena but my mom is very light skin, but she never made me feel ugly for it. She always told me that my brown skin was beautiful and people pay to get my skin tone through tanning . Only as I got older and saw ads and beauty standard in Asia that I realized inwas "dark" but thankfully to her, as a child and teen 8 didn't have to grow up with that mentality even though I am fully aware of Asia's beauty standard.
It's weird cuz I'm a Filipino living in Canada, I love my tan skin, to me both these women have beautiful tan skin, it's such a small difference in comparison to the different complexion you can find all over the world. It's unfortunate that this standard still exists
I've always been insecure with my "fair skin". Madalas masabihan ng "kulay lang nagdala" or "maputi ka kasi kaya...". Kaya kapag nasa labas ako, hindi na ako nagpapayong talaga HAHAHAHA para umitim ako. I wanted to be tan. Gumamit pa ako ng tanning lotion(?) kaso nagka-allergies and hindi rin gumana sa akin. Puro ako paaraw pre-covid era, pag-uwi ng bahay e sunburn ang abot. Ang hapdi sa balat and nakakahilo yung sikat ng araw tbh HAHAHAHA kaso gusto kong umitim pero sunburn inaabot ko. May konting tan minsan, pero after a few days, wala rin. Ngayong time na bawal lumabas ng bahay, nasabihan na akong "kulay papel" (ang o.a. ng reactions nila) nung mga kaibigan kong lagpas 1 year ko nang di nakikita. Oks lang ako HAHAHAHA.
Wala, skl. Nilalabas ko lang hinanakit ko. And to anyone na nagbabasa nito, remember that skin colour/tone (or whatever you call it) doesn't define beauty. We're all beautiful no matter what shape, size, or colour you are.
I actually don't understand why do people even say that having darker skin affect the beauty of a person. The constant reminder to people that your skin makes you ugly creates insecurities. Kung mapapansin niyo all the insecurities she had started when she was kid. As a kid i was called like this like that. When i was a kid i was told not ti wear white. You know we have to make every kid feel beautiful regardless of the color of their skin.
i used to get insecure too nung bata pa aq now i’m 17 and i’m accepting the fact na i’m morena❤️
I always thought that the word “mestiza” was used so much on light skinned people that it lost its meaning. Mestiza is a word for mixed race and light skinned. I read about it in noli me tangere and one of the people who are mestiza there was Maria Clara, daughter of a filipina and an espanyol.
Grabe! I'm a huge fan of ate AYN sa tiktok since last year's quarantine, haven't knew na she was engaged pala huhu
I don't really care if ur maputi or morena ang importante makinis.
