Kuya Pilipinas Did you know there's a forgotten tradition that being replaced by Americanized Halloween we called them "Pangangaluluwa".
"Of course!"
Tumblr media
"Where us Filipinos go door to door and sing! It's kind of like caroling, but it happens the day before All Saints Day. We also prepare food like ube, sticky rice, or kamote as a tribute for the souls. Although it's a dying tradition, I'm glad to see it being revived in some parts of the country. In fact, we try and mesh it together with Halloween by wearing scary costumes."

As a filipino born outside of the philippines and knows very little about the country and culture.... Would you still accept as one of your own?

"Like I said, we Filipinos are family. And family matters a lot to us, no matter how far, or how distant. Now come here, pamilya."

Hello Mr.Philippines! It's Tumblr... and it's June so I HAVE to ask... How's pride going for you so far, you celebrate it in June right? Any plans to celebrate? Any friends you'll be spending time with?
Also! Would you be comfortable sharing your pronouns? I know you have them along with your birthday, but they're a little tucked away.
"Oh! It's He/Him."
Tumblr media
"There's quite a few events happening in Metro-Manila, like parades! Perhaps I might visit one. Although I might clash with my boss because of it-"
"There's still a lot to achieve when it comes to LGBTQIA+ rights in this country. In the past, people of different identites held a role to play and were seen as integral to the society. However, as Catholicism is now the most predominant religion, there's a lot more of a clash...It's not to say that they aren't accepted here, the unfortunate reality is that rights still need to be fought for."

Late entry but!!! I wanted to at least contribute something to this!!! Philippines and Thailand have very distinct clothing- they’re similar casually but formally, they’re very striking! ]

Inspired by (and technically, fanart of) @uzuluna ‘s amazing BruPhil Animatic!  After all, nothing depicts ‘soulmates’ more than still loving each other, despite a failed marriage. ]

[ @aphrarepairweek2021 Day 4 - Historical | VietPhil 
Although the Philippines and Vietnam were on opposing sides of the Cold War, their relations siginificantly warmed after its end. Perhaps, they already maintained a connection beforehand? 
based on @blueskywater-happiness ‘s headcanon of VietPhil being akin to  ‘Romeo and Juliet’ during the Cold War. ]

Kuya~! Kamusta naman po kayo ni kuya Malaysia? Ok na ba kayo or galit pa rin sya sa inyo ni kuya Indonesia dahil sa 1963 Maphilindo issue.?

"Well, times change, especially with people you work closely with. Besides, that union disbanded after a month, so I've had plenty of time to get over it. I'm still pretty peeved about the Spratly islands and Sabah though. Also, Malaysia's like family to me- we have a long history and shared peoples. And you know how we Filipinos feel about family."
