I just notice one thing.. they are all smiling when they talk..

In Philippines we consider that a guy is handsome if he smells good and have a proper hygiene... We consider it as attractive

There are three standards of beauty in the Philippines:
1) Morena / Moreno - Dark skinned beauty
2) Mestiza / Mestizo - Light skinned beauty (Caucasian features)
3) Chinita / Chinito -- East Asian features (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)

Filipinos like symmetrical face, healthy looking body and and healthy skin. It doesn't matter what color you are.

In short ayaw namin sa mukhang mabaho, mukhang di naliligo, mukhang sakitin at mutain. Hahaha!

(Yan kinorek ko na, "East Asian", kaya ko lang sinabing North eh kasi North of Philippines.)

I lived in Philippines almost half of my life. The people there doesn't actually have standards, you can go out bare faced and no one will care about how you look. As long as you respect other people, you are beautiful.

I really love that girl with gorgeous brown skin who said "Morena is the new beautiful." She's actually pretty.

To me, Tagalog sounds like Spanish words mixed with English but pronounced Hindi in a Malaysian accent

[unleashingpotential-psycho]

Sadly Filipinos beauty standards is to try to look as white as possible.

Filipinos smile a lot and are mostly very friendly and kind.

[allgood]

compared to other asian countries, they are really open minded i would say.

[rai]

Ask Filipino men and they will just straight up say "Basta maganda."

[Fazman]

I hear a lot of English and Spanish words when they speak. Very interesting language for sure.

[mariaa]

Lets point out that most of the filipinos being interviewed dont have makeup on.

[ManilynMusic]

Hello all! There's an increasing number of Filipinas who are embracing their natural beauty. Thanks to education and cultural exchanges and the Internet. Cheers to all of us--morena, mestiza and chinita Filipinas!

Their language is like Spanish, English and their own all mixed together! I’m actually so surprised they think slanted eyes are attractive and a good beauty standard because almost all North East Asians countries wanna get plastic surgery to have bigger eyes, Y'all are beautiful though

[stacecandy]

These are some intelligent girls!!! So beautiful and so smart. They're so adorable. They know what the beauty standard is but they also know what's really important.

[calicodak]

i noticed that a white filipina wants to be "morena" (darker skin) while a morena filipina wants lighter skin.

[steisdead]

You know what most filipinas are up to now? CLEAR SKIN. That's all nothing less nothing more.

[kareylackie]

i am Canadian 28 years old, my wife is filipina 29 years old.. she has a dark skin complexion and a flat nose.. she is the most beautiful woman i have ever met. (we got married feb 08 2018)

[demetria]

I'm amazed by their ability to switch between English and Tagalog so smoothly 😂💕

[learnwithmitu]

I liked that girl's answer, "Values are the most important".
