When you say are a Filipino, What does it mean? A holder of a Philippine passport? Having both parents who are full blooded Filipinos? Or someone whose love for his country is deep seated and without malice or visions of profit?
Anthony Bourdain of the highly rated show "No Reservations" once visited the Philippines and asked why is it that some cuisines become popular while Philippine cuisine could not? The answer was that most Filipinos are enamored by foreign cultures and easily adapt to it, in effect losing their identity. I think it is the same question to ask why the Filipino culture is not recognized in foreign lands as other cultures.
