i truly agree with you peanutz...us, filipina women should be proud of our complexion...it is really sad whenever i visit the philippines, most tv advertisements are all about skin whitening products and all...people spend so much money on a whitening lotion that doesn't even work. just a pure marketing tactic...Originally Posted by Peanutz
I think this is one issue that we inherited from the western culture and from our Asian country neighbours (China,Japan). Having a white complexion in Filippines means you are in the high/middle class of the society. This is quite a shame, because it reflects a confused culture identity of us filippino.
There is no white filippino, we are brown and I am one of those filippino who are proud of my complexion.
the media in the philippines has also put more pressure on the average filipinos & they do not represent of the filipinos living in the country...most of them are half fil and half west so it's obvious that their complexion will be a lot fairer than the locals.
