Tribute to Filipino Warrior Spirit.

[pinoyescrima]

That's real talk.

I'm just waiting for one of them 6 footers born in the states to dominate the HW division.

You know what i'm also noticing? The difference in generations and the direction our people are moving.

I was raised by old school Filipino Parents. Super Old school. You know, "Do as i say and not as i do" and where school is the answer to everything.
Nowadays, i think it's starting to change a little. Cus my generation are having kids and stuff.

But i'm still thinking of something i can do for my people.

You know how i know Filipinos are starting to be in the mainstream? Cus there's more racial slurs going around. And i never heard any type of racist remarks specifically about Filipinos when i was coming up.

Yup, today's younger Filipino generation are much taller now and plenty of us are making a major impact in world...

just imagine if pinoys were 6 ft tall, they'd conquer the world. bwahhaahaaha

My family is full of 6 foot Pinoys. One of em was drafted and tried out for the CFL (Canadian Football league). My bro is 6'2", he was born and grew up in the U.S. My brother in law is about 6'1" and big ass sucker but his older sister is only 5'1". He grew up here and the sister in the P.I. so I guess nutrition has to do alot with it.

It aint the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog. I dont know about conquering the world.....but the philippines has never been a truly united country. Much like the indian tribes of the U.S. the country was comprised of thousands of tribes that pretty much fended for themselves due to the relative isolation of the many islands. The natives repelled every foreign invasion while compelled to work with each other. The foreign invasions only began to work when the spanish implemented divide and con***** strategies.

If the philippines had been united from the start....it may very well have been a superpower country today.
