the philippines is an archipelago, not an island
but yeah, i disregard any filipino that denies being asian in favor of the "pacific islander" identity... only in a very loose and technical sense are we pacific islanders (being as the philippines are islands on the edge of the pacific... and thats where the line gets drawn), and it's so irrelevant that i won't even call myself a pacific islander... in my opinion, other flips can say they're PI all they want as long as it doesn't have a double meaning to it, and that being "i'm not asian"
