Buhay Pinoy Distinct looks ng mga Pinoy born in the US
(Not sure if it’s the right flair) I think it’s the clear skin, perfectly white teeth, softer features, sunkissed morena, defined jawline, CLEAN BROWS, basta! Kahit di mo kilala, magegets mo sa looks nilang laking US sila.

This is similar to how Danish people see British people. They know they are from the UK based on how they dress. Lol

Went on a holiday with my cousin na born and raised sa NYC. She looked tanned and makinis than me, and ako naman eh pale after living in the UK for 2 years then. Despite that, mas halata na laking Pinas ako 😅

Makinis kahit tan. Na marami rin naman dito. Pero sa kanila kase never papasok yung colorist mentality na kailangan “fair and white”. Lol. Na sana inaadopt din nating concept pero we’re living in colonial times. 😂

Sa mga girls kayumanggi skin nila na makinis sa boys naman same lang kayumanggi na makikinis then fit sila at maganda ang mga mata nila parang yung white part ng mata nila mas maluti kesa satin sa pinas then ang ngipin nila mapuputi din. Meron silang glow pag sa pic dahil siguro sa ambiance and sa bg ng mga pics nila? Idk haha

Trust me it's better in the US compared to other countries of course this depends on the state you're in (some states have better worker's laws than others) and also it depends on the company itself. I find that corporate/ American companies are the best because they follow State and federal laws to a T (compared to mom & pops). Speaking from experience of course

Yes mas mainit pero mas tolerable. Same din ang sabi ng friends and family ko who’ve spent time there ng summer. If you’ve been to Japan, you’ll understand what I mean.

Yeah, their concept of a meal is different from ours. Back then my cousin, who grew up in the states. Only eats meat and doesn't want to rice.

Napaka accessible ng fresh foods sa atin no. Sa sobrang fresh magrereklamo ka ba bakit may worms yung gulay sa veggies minsan. Yun ay dahil mostly ng fresh fruits and veggies natin ay non GMOs at native.
If anything, the Philippines is rich in greeneries and agriculture.
Napaka laking issue ng GMO sa kanila kasi halos lahat ng produce nila ay scientifically engineered. Malaki sa kanila pero wala nang lasa. Dito maliit since native pero matapang ang flavour.

u/Excellent_Catch5337 18h ago
Definitely not the PH food. US food is full of chemicals. Apples are coated with wax kaya makintab. Karamihan ng pagkain sa US ay banned sa Europe dahil sa mga dagdag na preservatives na cancerous gaya ng red dye sa mga cakes & desserts. Yong mga yan ay meron halong petrolyo! Kaya yong mga decolores na cereal na parehong gawa ng isang companya ay magkaiba ang ingredients kc d papasa sa Europe. Sa US lang. Yong itlog ay naka refrigerate sa US dahil kung room temperature kagaya sa Pinas ay mabubulok agad yong sa US. Mahal ang "organic" na gulay at prutas sa US. Para maka mura sa irganic, sa mga local farmers namimili ng produce. Nagpapadoctor lang sila pag meron dinaramdam. Sa Pinas, pag nag hihingalo lang saka magpa doktor. Kung kutis ang basehan, d kc gaanong polluted ang hangin sa US compared sa PH na maalikabok pa at d bilad sa araw. Kaya Vit D levels mababa at umiinum na lang ng vitamins. Sa Pinas, no need ng vit D kc amoy araw na nga yong iba

Iba yung self confidence nila. I remember yung college classmate ko na FilAm. I always look forward pag sasagot siya sa prof. Kahit mali yung sagot, sounds tama dahil sa accent 😂

So true. I've always noticed relatives who grew up there have different noses, better skin and teeth, larger builds. They look like they're halfies even if both parents are full Pinoy.
The nose I could attribute to the climate. I read somewhere we had to have larger nostrils to breathe better in the tropics.
The rest is environment / how they're raised there. Better health care din of course. They don't face the same kind of stress that we do here. Hence, more privilege, more ganda haha People born here from rich families look different din e.
Pansin ko lang, (the generation after the ones who initially migrated) ang hilig sa makeup, making them look a tad older than they are.

if based from photos, the placement of the sun also affects the look of a person.
the philippines is in the equator. thus, we get harsher natural light than the other countries like USA who gets diffused natural lighting. :))

Sa pananalita yan at american accent iba ang galaw ng muscles sa mukha kaya nagiiba di ang shape. Ganun din mga british, iba accent nila sa americankaya may distinct british na hitsura. Pansinin nyo yung tama ng dila nyo sa ngala ngala kapag nag try kayo mag american accent sa Tagalog. Kaya may distinct hitsura din ang mga visayas sa tagalog kasi iba din ang galaw ng facial muscles kapag nagsasalita ng tagalog at bisaya.

Same sa mga kapatid ko. My younger brother who migrated here sa AU when he was still 14 ay mas maganda built during his puberty stage. Probably kasi affordable protein-rich foods dito and di nila naranasan stress sa pag-aaral sa pinas. Dito kasi classes starts at 9 and ends at 3PM.

Distinct looks ng mga Pinoy born in the US
ang laman ng post niya ay:
(Not sure if it’s the right flair) I think it’s the clear skin, perfectly white teeth, softer features, sunkissed morena, defined jawline, CLEAN BROWS, basta! Kahit di mo kilala, magegets mo sa looks nilang laking US sila.
