Wow this is beautiful for the Moreno people of Asia

It’s true that there is still a culture in the Phils that is stuck in the colonial mindset that lighter skin is better. Lighter skin meant you were mixed with Spanish or Chinese. Not to say that the country is racist. It’s just that the yt man has forced us to believe this for centuries and has made us hate our brown skin. Melanated skin is just as beautiful and worthy. This is the first step in a good direction

Beautiful! Us Filipinos are naturally darker skinned so this shouldn't be even a surprise. Hopefully we all slowly accept that beauty comes in many shades

She made history becoming the first Black Beauty winner, they did in Japan in 2015 and 2020 the judges decision are very unpredictable.

True I’m
Darker skin Filipino .. the white skin is more favorable than you. so u need to step up. u need to be excellent in any forms. i think now a days social
Mindset is changing, but there are still some Filipinos who don’t like being tan, brown or darker skin like me . That’s why whitening products in any forms are widely used to make them fair skin.
