I don't get why a lot of Filipinos don't like associating themselves as being Asian.
Isht, I'm half Filipino (raised by an Ilocano mother) and I've called myself Asian my whole life.
Also...because I'm anal and nitpicky
it bugs me whenever I see "Philipino" or "Phillipino". It's either Filipino or Pilipino for me, thanks.
