This reminds me of that funny odd moment when I talked and gave a small impromptu lecture to a plane-mate on one of my previous flights from Cebu. This young post-millenial guy was born in Abra yet when he was still a baby his parents moved to the US and then to England where he eventually grew up. Then he occasionally travels back to stay with his cousins back in Abra, to have a cultural immersion experience on how it is," to live like us" aka, Pinoy life. Well. I told him never to greet Filipinos "Mabuhay", and also that Filipinos have a dynamite sense of humor, we also have an underrated yet highly tasty cuisine that verges on the extremes in the taste bud index, rice is a way of life, etc.

[@studio1407]

Ilocanos in Hawaii think they are better than most Filipinos that's why they do not identify as Filipino. What's funny is that Ilocanos in Hawaii make less money and are less educated than most Filipinos in the US. They are at the bottom of the socio-economic status among all US Filipinos and in Hawaii in general. They look down on other Filipinos but have no political power against other races in Hawaii in spite of the fact they are now the majority. My only guess is that when they came here as farm workers back in the day, they were discriminated against and that became their norm so they do it to other Filipinos they perceived as lesser than them. Self-hating Filipinos are mainly a Hawaii thing. Most Ilocanos in the mainland identify simply as Filipino and do not act like their Hawaiian counterpart.

Filipino here! (of Ilokano dissent) This makes sense since we are Austronesian peoples and we are cousins to the Hawaiians, even though they are more Polynesian but we are related thousands of years ago. Ilokanos are the closest to the original filipinos of the Philippine Islands. If you dig more about our philippine history you can find so many amazing things. Igorots also commonly speak Ilokano to communicate, although they have their unique language, they use Ilokano to communicate with the majority of locals in the Ilocos region., Also, a little off topic, but not: We have Spanish names due to Spain's influence on my country, but we are ASIAN. Filipinos were forced to change their names during the Spanish era to Spanish names for census reasons, thus this is why we have Spanish names, but 97% of us are Asian.

[@chewy6487]

Actually Brothers and sisters of Hawaiians are Polynesians. The cousins are Micronesians and Melanesians. Filipinos are just distant relatives like other Southeast Asians.

Obviously they're Ilocano through and through. Didn't appreciate that back then, wish I had more time with them

[@unknowndeoxys00]

@@nunyabiznes33 My parents explained it to me as an education thing in the rural areas. I guess if you weren't able to get an education and learn Tagalog/Filipino in school growing up (if it wasn't your first language to start), then likely Tagalog is not gonna be one of your languages in general. That might've been the case with my mom's uncles and aunts who probably only had grade school education if any, but were strong physically to work. I had a paternal great-grandmother who also couldn't speak Tagalog, only Ilocano. Probably was more common though in our grandparents and great-grandparents' generations, my parents were '60s kids and speak Tagalog and Ilocano fluently.

When I went to school in the Philippines (Ilocos Norte) in the 70s we were taught in English, not Tagalog. So I came to the US at age 10 speaking Ilocano and English. I understand Tagalog a little bit just from my own learning but can’t speak it fluently

I'm filipino, a tagalog not an Ilocano. but for me Ilocano is the superior tribe in the Phils. 🇵🇭

[@kimmyDaYang]

As a Filipino. As for me, Visayan tribes are superior in the Philippines they known as warriors . Just like Filipino historical drama "AMAYA" and "INDIO" in gma series are Visayan tribes and I was amazed bisaya speaking Mindanao although not all mindanao speak Bisaya but there have a sizeable Bisaya speaking mindanao

[@lalainenash2006]

Filipinos in Hawaii don't want to be associated as Filipinos but more of as Ilocanos which is funny. They think Ilocanos are better than the rest of other Filipinos.

Next chamorro Guam in Hawaii 🇬🇺🏝️🤙

[@wavemaker2077]

The Chamorros are basically Filipinos who lived in Guam even before the Spaniards arrived. They look like Filipinos. If Guam became part of the Philippines, those Chamorro people will integrate with the Philippine society with no problem at all.
