Filipinos have a colonial mentality which is made up
of two dimensions: the first is lack of patriotism or an active
awareness, appreciation, and love of the Philippines; the
second is an actual preference for foreign things.
Filipino culture is characterized by an openness to the out-
put side ---- adapting and incorporating the foreign elements
into our image of ourselves. And yet this image is not built
around a deep core of the Philippines history and language.
The result is cultural vagueness or weakness that makes
Filipinos extraordinary susceptible to the wholesale

Media depicts Filipinos as downtrodden, depressed,
oppressed and inferior but point to the wrong causes. They
conditioned the minds of people with an inferiority complex
and diverted the blame to those who are actually not to
blame. What see on TV and radio (even local media) drives
into a love-hate relationship with foreign ideas. Media is also
hypocritical in depicting foreigners. They copy American
concepts and shows, but portray people from other countries
as cruel and inconsiderate. Media portrays foreigners as
robbers and spoilers of our nations wealth and takes
advantage of it to draw attention away from who is actually
robbing and spoiling our nations wealth.

Filipinos with colonial mentality may glorify both
Spanish and American values, such as lighter skin tone.
Lighter- skinned Filipino and Filipino Americans are often
referred to as mestizo or mestiza. However, being a
mestizola is highly valued in Filipino and Filipino American
communities, as evidenced by light-skinned celebrities who
have historically and contemporarily been the most popular
in Philippine entertainment and most especially in media.

Colonial Mentality may play a huge role in group
dynamics, in that members may judge others based on skin
color, language and accents, educational levels, or regions
of the Phillippines. The competition issues and political
struggles within Filipino American Organizations; As well as
the need to promote social status, may be considered as a
direct cause of colonial mentality. They may view those with
power as being superior or better the same message that
was taught by the Spanish and Americans who encourages
Filipinos to emulate their ways. These findings may explain
why many Filipino Americans search for groups or
communities. They want to be able to feel a sense of
belonging and acceptance; they want to be around others
who are like them and have similar cultural and personal
experiences.

discrimination of Filipinos was the main effect of colonial
mentality. Coming from a mixed race (Filipino-Mestizo or
Filipino-Chinese), one can gain more recognition, trust and
wealth. It is during this time when friars would prefer to
entrust realms to the Filipinos who were more wealthy and of
higher social standing. Some base it on looks. Like a
situation Rizal encountered where in he was almost not
welcomed by the Ateneo Jesuits for he seemed to have
lacked height, a typical Filipino feature. More over, with the
famous saying, looks can deceive, some Filipinos who are
desperate for attention, tend to color their hair and apply
make up and fool the eyes of most men just to make
themselves feel better and prettier.

Our task in terms of the national economy in our

homeland should be to think FILIPINO FIRST, as other
nations rightly do think of and for themselves in their own
homelands. But of course, our "Filipinism" has to be different
from the selfish individualism (lacking in honest, social
concern) of the native businessmen/entrepreneurs of the
past who used nationalism to advance solely their own
private interests.

Most Filipinos can speak a little bit of English making
it very easy to communicate even for foreigners. Hollywood
movi es are flocked, Starbucks is always filled to the brim
and the latest fashion is followed or replicated.The biggest
threats to Philippine languages are the conscious and
unconscious decisions of families not passing on their
language and culture, opting to prioritize regional and
national languages instead. In some provinces, children who
are fluent in regional and national languages are looked
upon more favorably, than those who are skilled in the
indigenous languages of their locality. Americans basically
made the country look like a mini-US. Today, the Philippines
is very much westernized or Americanized. For the longest
time, products would sell better if it were called stateside
and imported. -Filipinos love a lot of things about American
culture such as fast food, sitcoms and music.

movies white standards of feminine and masculine beauty

goddesses, was transported to the Philippines. A phenotypes
of popular Filipino actors and actresses both past and
contemporary, reveals the dominance of the mestizo and
mestiza ideal in popular cinema. (Ex. Vilma Santos,

twentieth century mestiza and mestizo personalities continue
to dominate the silver screen and other entertainments. (Ex.
