how filipino are you

Got this tagged by butchay. Sorry sis for the late posting :)

Rule: Just count the items that suits you, then compare your totals with the guage on the bototm part of this meme.

Here it goes:

1. you can speak Filipino (erstwhile Tagalog) - OO! (1)
2. whenever necessary, you take the hand of an elder relative and pat the back of the palm of that hand to your forehead and say “mano po” - Opo (2)
3. you know "bayanihan" and had witnessed it personally at least once - Oo (3)

4. you've seen a bahay kubo at least once - marami na! (4)

5. you've ridden on a jeepney at least five times - 100 times actually, lol! (5)
6. you have separate clothes for in-house and outside use (pambahay at panglakad) - Oo (6)
7. you've eaten adobo, dinuguan, kakanin, tuyo, dilis - Hmm, sarap, oo naman (7)
8. your meal is incomplete if without rice - syempre (8)

9. you hear Sunday masses and attend Misa de Gallo with your family- Opo (9)

21. you text message more instead of calling. - Oo (21)

22. you always bring pasalubong to your friends or family when you went out of town or out of the country. - Oo (22)

23. you’ve read Funny Comics during your childhood.- paborito ko noon! (23)



I got a perfect score of 23! Wow, Pinoy na pinoy pala tlga ako, gosh! heheheh ;)

Here's the gauge to tell how Filipino you are:----------------------------------------------

20 - 23 = The Filipino blood, spirit and flame burns intensely in you. You are the typical Filipino, who takes pride of your nationality.

15 - 19 = You are proud of your being Filipino and that the traits unique to most Filipinos live in you.

11 - 14 = You are the Filipino who, even adopting strongly the cultures of other nations, still don't forget some old ways of the Filipino life.

7 - 10 = The Filipino culture has little by little been forgotten by you. You need to at least try some of the items mentioned.

4 - 6 = The Filipino culture has substantially faded in you, or that you have not been exposed to the true, authentic traits of being a Filipino.

1 - 3 = You're a Filipino, only that you may have not been born and raised in the Philippines and had not lived up or been accustomed to the ways of Filipino living.

0 = You're not a Filipino.


Ikaw kaya sis - Shabem, how filipino are you?
