It's because most Filipinos already have big eyes, so big eyes are viewed as common. And some of the native tribes and poor people have the biggest eyes of all, so Filipinos dont want to look like that. Small eyes are associated with rich Chinese immigrants and Korean pop stars.

[@racooncity3325]

You could say the same if you did an exact interview in Malaysia or Thailand. Having a slightly pointed nose or lighter skin does not correlate to looking “Spanish”. The vast majority of us Filipinos don’t have any Spanish ancestry but are Austronesian with Chinese fusions . The vast majority of Filipinos look Asian because genetically we are, not Spanish in the slightest. If you have been to Spain you’ll be aware they are European people and don’t resemble Filipinos at all. Their definitely are Filipinos with Spanish blood but they are a 0.5% minority and many nowadays have less than 5% Spanish blood due to how long ago it was. Other than that, we Filipinos look strikingly similar to our Asian neighbours in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc because were genetically related to them. Also, I did not see anyone in this video that looked Spanish in the slightest???? They all looked Asian.....

[@AngryKittens]

There are three types of beauty among Filipinos: Mestiza, Morena, and Chinita. You can actually hear them discussing it in the video. *Mestiza:* Fair-skinned Spanish (or half-White) looks *Morena:* Dark-skinned native islander (or South Asian/half-Black) looks *Chinita:* (previously also called "Mestiza de Sangley"): Fair-skinned East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) looks Admittedly, they're not equally preferred. Mestiza is still by and large, the preferred look, due to the influence of Hollywood media. While Morena and Chinita are about even, but aren't that far down either. There are also stereotypes about them. Chinitas are seen as more submissive and delicate, Morenas are seen as more passionate and cheerful, while Mestizas are seen as more confident and sophisticated. Also, the same standards are applied to men: Mestizo, Moreno, and Chinito, except there are slight differences in preferences. For example, Chinitos are seen as more intellectual or richer, while Morenos are seen as more masculine and stronger. Mestizos are more or less in between those stereotypes.

Filipino here, come to think of it, you're right lol (I never pay attention to most Philippine media lol, not my tastes XD) I notice how they are always "Get this product and your skin will become more beautiful blablabla" and the celebrity acting for the commercial is always fair skinned. Come to think of it, isn't Duterte a bit dark skinned?

[@eyes0nyu]

When I was younger, the reigning beauties on TV were the caucasian mix. Then the east Asian mix were in vogue. These mixed beauties were fair. It wouldn't be incorrect to say that in those days, to be a celebrity you had to tick off the "fair" checkbox. But the younger celebrities these days are now a mix bag of fair and dark. It's even ok to have an accent now. So I have hope that our standard of beauty is evolving to include all types of colours and ethnicities in the country.

[@dreafysh0.136]

[@JCosio-bs9xr]

One could argue that the media is representing what Filipinos think is attractive. That's a free market for you.

Generally Korean features are not ideal in beauty so they resort to enhance them by artificial means through cosmetic surgery.

@t. intelectuel what's with all the negative comments, did you have a bad day or something? Cause we don't need that kind of opinion here

[@pmhernane3903]

I agree 👍 We love pageantry but when a candidate displays a not so good attitude, no matter how pretty she is, she'll be tagged as the ugliest 😅 On the other hand, we all know atleast one friend who's face is very typical but finds her prettier as time goes by because of her personality.

The Philippines is one of the only few countries that can appreciate all kinds of beauties. However due to being a "developing nation" it has a tendency to follow the hype, whatever is "IN" or whatever is the dominating culture that is taking over the world. Before the rise of KPOP or any Asian dramas, whoever looks American or WEstern or Spaniard was already considered pretty. And now that Korea along with it's neighboring Asian countries are slowly taking over the world through its popculture, the media has also been trying to follow the trend and whoever looks East Asian is now considered pretty.. Take that girl's opinion as an example 0:38. She and the rest of those who were interviewed are very white-washed. As opposed to the comment of that cute girl at 0:53. Her face fits today's mainstream standards young people are crazy about. But it is so humble of her that she seemed to appreciate more of the real beauty of our locals. How ironic.

This actually made me cry because as a Filipino I'm the darkest member of my family and I'm very self conscious of my skin and envious of my mom's white skin. So seeing this and being told that Morena is the new beautiful it makes me feel more happy and content with my skin color.

Most of the developed world has left this stupid preference behind. There are new standards for fitness, skin care, etc... but not for race. This will catch on to the Phillipines. I'm very white but I'm more attracted to dark skinned women.

Who doesn't focus on a specific beauty and appreciate all kinds of enchantress. My opinion is, yes, definitely is! But mind that all people have different kinds of perception. So it's just really up to you to think if you're beautiful or not.

[@lesmisurbanite5306]

Filipinas mostly like the more ‘natural looking’. That’s why cosmetic surgery is still being frowned upon as compared to Thailand or South Korea. We also have preference for lighter complexion but lately Filipinas are slowly embracing the ‘tanned’ complexion. We really have no standard of beauty in the Philippines as this is a melting pot of different cultures (Latino, Hispanic, Asian and the Pacific islander). When you go to a certain place you’ll find the mestizas (Zamboanga) and chinitas in Binondo etc...

motomusiq , actually in the Philippines chinita/chinito beauty type is already here before the KPop culture or the Asian dramas arrived in the 2000s. Mestiza, Morena, Chinita beauty types exist... it just depends on the person what s/he likes.

Don't worry, not all Filipinos fascinating on kpop beauty

[@SleepEludesMe647]

Beyond clear, white skin (which is extemely common in many darker-skinned people long before the start of Kpop, a beauty standard that is at least centuries old), most Filipinos aren't specifically interested in looking Korean I believe. Some want to follow the fashion and makeup trends but the rest... not really?
