Filipinisms are English phrases that are commonly used by Filipino immigrants. These figures of speech are culturally relevant and may sound strange to the average American.
A Filipinism is a linguistic usage specific to or typical of the Philippines, such as:
- Open the light for turn on the light,
- captain-ball for Basketball team captain, or
- viand for any dish eaten with rice
It is when a Tagalog translation to English ends up sounding a little bit ridiculous because the way it translates can be misinterpreted by a native speaker.

Can you give me the tyranny of false value declamation piece?
Tyranny of false values By Gonzalo Gonzales I am the youth of the land I am told that I am inconstant and frivolous I am accused of being supercilious and cynical that I do not have the right attitude and since I do not have the right attitude, my leaders tell me that they do not know where this country is headed for that they wander with a gloomy sense of foreboding What shall I do with this land? When it is left to me as my heritage? When it is willed to me as my own? I am the youth of the land. I am cynical. I do not have the right attitude. But looking around me, I see a wooden platform.. Gaily bedecked with red, white, and blue of my country The band plays the national anthem My heart swells with pride as do the hearts of the Filipino shoving and crowding as far as the eye can see The speaker rises-the tumult and clamor dies, he begins "fellow countrymen, we should support militant filipinism, we should hold all things Filipino, we should patronize home industry" I, the youth of the land, am impressed I, the youth of the land, glow with patriotic fervor I, the youth of the land, am convinced, almost. For I, with irrepressible curiosity of the youth, look up and see that the speaker is a filipino like myself -more than that, he is my leader.. And he is wearing a hat from Italy, shirt from New York, trousers from the finest wool of England, shoes from Great Britain, Jewelry from France and perhaps, underwear from Japan? I, the youth of the land, am disappointed but my leaders say that I am cynical and my leaders know whereof they speak.. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ that's all I've memorized, so far XD -smvc :P IV-Kelvin Mangaldan National High School
The anatomy of the filipino piece?
All: I like to think that I am a Filipino, that I am as Good, a Filipino as Anyone. Girls: My heart thrills, when, I Hear, the National anthem, being played. Boys: And my Blood Rises, when, I see our flag, Fluttering in the breeze. All: And Yet, I find myself asking, How Filipino Am I, Really? Boys: My First Name is American. Girls: My Last Name Is Chinese. Boys: When I' am with Girlfriends or more correctly, when, I' am with my Friends, who happen to be girls - I talk to them in English. Girls: If they are thirsty, I buy them, a Bottle of American coke. Boys: If they are hungry, I treat them, to an Italian Pizza pie. All: And when, I have the money, I give them a real Chinese Lauriat. Boy (solo): Considering all these, considering my taste, for many things foreign, what right do I have, to call myself, a Filipino? Girls (solo): Should I not call myself, a culture orphan? the illegitimate child of many races? All: Rightly or wrongly, whether we like it or not, we are the end products, of our history, fortunately or unfortunately, our history is a co-mingling, of polyglot influences. Boys: Malayan and Chinese. Girls: Spanish and British. Boys: American and Japanese. All: This is historic fact, we can not ignore, a cultural reality we can not escape, form to believe otherwise is to indulge in fantasy. Boy (solo): I must confess, I' am an extremely confused, and Bewildered young man. Wherever I' am, whatever I may be doing, I' am Bombarded, on all sides, by people who want, me to search for my national identity. All: Tell me the Language I speak should be replaced, by Filipino; they urge me to do away with things foreign to act and think, and buy Filipino. Girl (solo): Even in art, I' am getting bothered and Bewildered. All: The Writer should use Filipino, as his medium, the nationalists cry. Boys: The Painter should use his genius, in portraying themes purely Filipino, they demand. Girls: The Composer should exploit, endless Possibilities, of the haunting kundiman, they insist. All: All these sound wonderful. But Rizal used Spanish, when he wrote, Noli and Fili. Boys: Was he less of a nationalist, because of it? Must the artist, to be truly Filipino, paint with the juice of the duhat? Girls: And must he draw picture of topless Muslim women or Igorot warriors in G-String? All: And if the composer, desert, the kundiman, and he writes song faithful to the spirit of the Youths of today, does he become Unfilipino? We are what we are today, because of our History. Boys: In our veins, pulses blood with traces of Chinese and Spanish and American, but It does not stop, being a Filipino, because of these. Girls: Out culture, is tinges with foreign, influences, but it has become rich therely. All: This mingling, in fact could speed us on the road, to national greatness, look at America, it is a great country , and yet it is the melting pot of Italian, and German, British, and French, or Irish and swedish. Boy (solo): Filipinism, after all, is in the heart. All: If that heart beats faster, because the Philippines is making progress, if it Fills, with compassion because its people are suffering, then it belongs to a true Filipino, and it throbs, with pride, in our past, if it pulses with awereness, of the present , if it beats with a faith in the future, then we could ask, for nothing, more all other things are Unimportant. Boys: I have, an American First Name. Girls: And I have, a Chinese Last Name. All: And I' am proud, very, very proud, - because Underneath these names beats A Filipino Heart…
