i agree with maureena rose. im filipina & italian. so i have italian eyes , tall, i have a year round tan.. alot of my friends are envy of me because of it.
i think filipinas see this image because most of the ppl in philiphines have wavy, dark skin.
or because theyre influeced by the western /chinese culture. Or maybe it makes them look even more spanish. Filipinos are not the only backround tht created ‘pretty image’ but also the western.. they like tan skin./ its looks more natural, and healthy looking..
AND some flips go for white guys cuz they have light skin.. but i think girls with dark skin get the white guys a whole lot more easier.. take tht from me.
i love being flip/italin. and TAN

Im filipina / spanish / and somewhat german. i have dark eyes, naturally straight black hair. and my skin ranges.. im from canada so in the winter i get really light.. and in the summer my natural filipina essence stands out.. i get REALLY TAN. && i LOVE IT. alot of ppl ask me how.

Im kind of sick to seeing flips whiten themselves… i think they should LOVE the way they look.
they are beautiful.. were all diversed & every single one of us is beautifull. I love being filipina!
