What was spain’s reaction when he first time heard you say “P*ta”

“Finding out that a Filipino delicacy has the same name as a Spanish insult. In Kuya Mexico’s defence, we were both making fun of Spain anyway.”

A/N:

Mexico OC belongs to @alfredtalia !  

Puto, in Filipino, is a delicious steamed rice cake, served often with cheese. The name is derviced from the Malay word ‘Puttu’, meaning portioned

P*to, in Spanish, means b*tch (male)

“Wonder which of my friends will greet me today!” *selfie sent to all contacts*

What's your favorite thing to do on the weekends?

“Have a boys night!” ;p

“That is, until recently...but I’m sure we’ll be able to hang out more soon enough!!!”

[ask-hws-philippines]

what's your relationship with hong kong?

“We’re on good terms!”

“I’ve actually known him since a young age! We’ve had our ups and downs, but we’ve worked through them. Even though our approach in life is pretty different, I’d say we’re actually very similar as people.”

[ask-hws-philippines]

As a filipino born outside of the philippines and knows very little about the country and culture.... Would you still accept as one of your own?

"Like I said, we Filipinos are family. And family matters a lot to us, no matter how far, or how distant. Now come here, pamilya."

[ask-hws-philippines]

“The ASEAN members are like a second family! I’ve known them for a long time. Sure, I might be closer to some than others, but I’m certain I can come to them whenever. These are some of the most fun, creative, intelligent, and charismatic people I’ve ever met! They’re the best to be around, both on and off work.”

Kuya, how do you look po ba nung pre-colonial era?

Translation: How do you look during your pre-colonial era? 

“I did my best to recreate it.”

{ I took some inspiration from @awesome-cookies-and-cream ‘s Pre-Colonial Philippines post! }

You have a crush on Korea? What a coincidence, so do I! Shall we duel?

"Yeah!"

"If you can beat me in a Pokemon battle!"

[ask-hws-philippines]

“Hey guys, I’m the Philippines! I recently became canon so you should ask me some questions. I know you’ve been waiting for me!” 

[ask-hws-philippines]

Kuya Pilipinas Did you know there's a forgotten tradition that being replaced by Americanized Halloween we called them "Pangangaluluwa".

"Of course!"

"Where us Filipinos go door to door and sing! It's kind of like caroling, but it happens the day before All Saints Day. We also prepare food like ube, sticky rice, or kamote as a tribute for the souls. Although it's a dying tradition, I'm glad to see it being revived in some parts of the country. In fact, we try and mesh it together with Halloween by wearing scary costumes."

[ask-hws-philippines]

What do you think of the "Filipinos" chocolate biscuit?

"You mean the Spanish biscuit right? The one that insinuates that I'm 'dark on the outside and white on the inside'? I've already tried to get these recalled multiple times."

"Sheesh. Another reason why I don't like Spain..."

[ask-hws-philippines]

What's your relationship with Taiwan?

���Honestly, we’ve had our differences especially as of lately. It’s confusing.”

“Sure, we’ve known each other for a long time. She says I’m her second-most hated country, but I’m also her ninth most liked?? What is that even supposed to mean?! Do I have to write out an equation to see if we’re friends or not? We’ve had a lot of disputes over land and borders and it always comes out when we talk.”

[ask-hws-philippines]

What are your relations with Macao?

"We're on neutral terms. We mostly see each other for business purposes- but don't really interact outside of meeting room. It's really weird to think about how in some sense, we're technically cousins, yet I've rarely felt connected to him."

[ask-hws-philippines]

Hello Mr.Philippines! It's Tumblr... and it's June so I HAVE to ask... How's pride going for you so far, you celebrate it in June right? Any plans to celebrate? Any friends you'll be spending time with?

Also! Would you be comfortable sharing your pronouns? I know you have them along with your birthday, but they're a little tucked away.

"Oh! It's He/Him."

"There's quite a few events happening in Metro-Manila, like parades! Perhaps I might visit one. Although I might clash with my boss because of it-"

"There's still a lot to achieve when it comes to LGBTQIA+ rights in this country. In the past, people of different identites held a role to play and were seen as integral to the society. However, as Catholicism is now the most predominant religion, there's a lot more of a clash...It's not to say that they aren't accepted here, the unfortunate reality is that rights still need to be fought for."
