Should we consider ourselves as Cebuanos and not Filipinos?

[Erebus]

---

Before the Spaniards came here.. the ethnic people of Cebu, Bohol and Butuan have already established their own settlements and kingdom, that's why we share a common language and culture amongst each other.

Meanwhile, the other ethnic peoples such as the Tagalog had their own kingdom as well, hence the difference in language and culture.

The only reason why we became "one country" and eventually "Filipinos" was because the Spanish conquistadors thought it would be a good idea to claim all the surrounding islands for the Kingdom of Spain and merge them as one. That's just it.

I study history and linguistics, but if you'd like to know more, just message me and I can recommend some books you can refer to if you guys are interested.

But at the end of the day, I would like to say that even though if we have a different past, different language and different culture, it would be best if we all gathered together as one instead of fighting one another. We should all be friends and aim for the betterment of this country. Change does not start from your government or ethnicity, but from yourself.

Bullying should not relinquish our identity as a Filipino. i know some of them are very arrogant and do have that superiority complex that they utilize always to gain status and control. The best thing we could do is to prevent them denying the equality that all Filipino ethnicity should have. Just be reasonable and establish your grounds fight for your identity as a Filipino.
Pareho ra tang tanan mga pislat ug ilong, and that should be remembered always.

You guys are right. I am also an idiot for stooping at those arrogant tagalog's low mental level. I'm just thinking that we have a better future if only we could separate from this pathetic country.

taga cebu ka TS? or Visayas?

naka mention man ka na ang mga tagalog hambugero or something murag superior.. and its true compared to cebuano..

now my questions is.
If you are a cebuano and makabalo ka na tagamindanao ko... what would you think?
superior pud ka kay cebuano ka? diba!?

ayaw paglisod-lisod TS,

I never said anything about Mindanao. Though I think ang mga taga Mindanao kay disciplinado ug limpyado sad. Di unta mag away ang taga Cebu ug Davao kay puros man ta mga bisaya.

Parihas rata tanan mga PINOY!

Nope. There will always be the tagalogs and the Bisayans.

Disiplinad0 ug limpyad0?...hehehe...murag dak0ng pangand0y ra ni TS.

[Balandido]

Murag ganahan gyud c ts ma isolate sa ubang pinoys ky lagi cebuano cya,
wow! okay unta, pero murag debatable and divisive.

Tanan baya ta naay mga flaws regardless kinsa or unsa ka sa katilingban.

Magsinabatanay nalang ta...para mas duol sa pag aasenso ng bayan at ng
sarili.
