Because Filipinos used to have daily afternoon siestas, being mostly farmers, who wake up early in the morning to plant in the fields for hours.
While it is true that Filipinos are easily satisfied, this trait does not mean they are lazy. It simply means that their priorities are centered on family and relationships, rather than mere material things.
It is also not true that physical and mental activities are avoided by Filipinos, as most of them are hardworking laborers and would accept any job, so long as it would provide for their families (even going abroad).
*I am really surprised by the previous answer. Pilipino ka pa man din.
PREVIOUS ANSWER:
Because they were (and still are). Asia's annual rate of GDP grows, The Philippines' shrinks. Anyone who has ever been unfortunate enough to go there would know why; as long as the Filipino has some shelter over their head and some rice, they are happy. Anything else that requires physical or mental toil is avoided at all costs.
well Filipinos are not really lazy. Actually they are very resourceful. They can weave things into cloth. The early Filipinos called their higher gods Bathala, Laon, and many more...
No they generally are not. It depends on a person to person basis. I live in Ireland and Filipinos here in general are very much the opposite. There are always bad seeds of all walks of life, but I have gotten a very good impression.

Indolence (laziness or slothfulness) is a stereotype and a racial slur. The use of a term like this implies that everyone in the islands is lazy. That is obviously not the case; such a term cannot be tagged onto an entire culture or nation. Clearly, there are lazy Filipinos. There are industrious Filipinos. There are lazy people and industrious people from every culture. It is absurd and wrong to categorize a whole people this way.

The cuckoo is a lazy bird.
They aren't lazy, that's called exhaution!
It is not appropriate to generalize and label an entire group of people as lazy. Just like in any country, there are hardworking and industrious individuals as well as those who may be perceived as lazy. It is important to avoid stereotypes and show respect for all individuals.
