    Mr. Rockwell:

    There is no such thing as "Philipino." It makes me cringe whenever I read the word. When you are referring to the people of the Philippines, please use either Filipino or Pilipino but never, never "Philipino" or "Philippino."

    Filipinos are spanish born in the 'islas de filipinas(Philippine Islands)'. Indios are the natives(once_a_mahalikan), brave people the likes of Pacquiao..We are now hybrids, a little chinese, a little spanish and a big part a maharlikan..We are once feared head hunters, to get a wife you need to present lots of heads to the parent. Until the spanish came to our shores, we massacre their first wave(magellan), not letting them set foot on our land..On the seashore, we let their wasted bodies dried up in our setting sun..See History guys, we are a proud people. Unlike the AZTECS, an empire of south america crumbled against 300 spanish conquistadores.

    Pride and insecurity can make some folks a bit too sensitive. They have to attach themselves to a specific identity to feel a sense of purpose. The truth is we are all humans, that evolved differently in order to adapt to a variety of climates and food sources.

    yah! mr. writer. When you are referring to a person from the Philippines and will be using your own English language to do it, make use of the word FILIPINO. But if you are going to use our own language to write it, you can use the word PILIPINO.

    hahaha!...maharlikas?...i'd say they are the purest form of colonized "FILIPINOS". the term used on them is already a dog chain on their necks. some parts of the Philippines, when you ask them, they don't remember any recollection of Spanish, Japanese and American presence. it's because they never were there..and they still wear their g-strings..now that's pride. wahahahahaha!

    Is that really the trailer for the movie? i don't think it is. but it looks funny though.

    im filipino and i'm embarassed at what these idiots are saying in the comment area. you idiots need to stop with the "i'm proud to be filipino", "filipino is not spelled philippino", "filipinos are born this and that-whatever!" who cares!. nakatagpo lang kayo ng mali kala nyo matalino na kayo. Many of you idiots does not know how to communicate in a polite and cordial manner. Style nyo bulock. Style nyo = regionalism/tribalism.

    Philipinos, Filipnios, Pilipinos, whatever?....if you only know how to spell it by words, you are not one. mr. rick rockwell made a slight infraction. but not intended for degradation. i'd say that my country should know better than just spelling their country...pati nga tayong mga pinoy bastos sa ibang lahi, wala naman tayong naririnig na ganyang pagko-correct...bombay, negro,singkit, etc,etc.....balat sibuyas lang kasi tayo. wahahahaha!

YOU ARE ONE KIND OF A FILIPINO WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HIS HISTORY, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE FILIPINO RACE..YOU ARE ONE KIND OF A FILIPINO THAT I WILL NOT HESITATE TO PUT A BLACK MARK ON BOTH OF YOUR EYES..HOPE I WILL NOT MEET YOU IN PERSON. SHAME ON YOU BLOODY STUPID IDIOT WHOEVER YOU ARE.

    the movie wapakman will be a knockout by dec 2009 during the metro manila film festival. its a casting coup having pacman, nicole and batista in one movie. the director topel lee is a respected one and will not make this a cheap and slapstick movie. comedy and action film is a hit if properly made. hope its a blockbuster in dec as it will compete with 5 other movies for 2 weeks w/ no english movie competition and the prime xmas and new year season. pls. pacman still fight for 4 more years. 8 more fights or 2 in a year will give us something to look forward to every year. u brought so much hope and inspiration for the whole filipino nation.

    Sorry, spell check and I didn't catch the "Philipino" "Filipino" "Pilipino" correction.....My Aunt and Cousins would kill me for this mistake... They are Filipino... My father, grand parents, 6 aunts and uncles were stationed at Clark Air Force Base for several years... My grandfather always wanted to go back to the Philippines but passed away before he could.... He always talked fondly of his many years spent there...

    Basahin mo aughrei, "There was no unifying political state encompassing the entire Philippine archipelago. Instead, the region were ruled by competing thalassocracies ruled by Datus, Rajahs, and Sultans, such as the Kingdom of Maynila, Namayan, Dynasty of Tondo, Madya-as Confederacy, the Rajahnates of Butuan, and Cebu, the sultanates of Maguindanao, and Sulu = source: en.wikipedia.org" thats what's available so far..tanga! or basahin mo n lang sa wiki..siguro mykiki ka!
