OPINION/
THIS IS OUR OPINION ON THIS DEBATABLE ISSUE, SO-CALLED 'HALFIES' IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Firstly, that is good to know about this term - 'Halfies,' this is a new for us.
In Thailand, the big question is pretty reversed to this controversy. In Thai pageantry, beauty queens are always asked by fans whether she is a purely blood Thai to represent Thailand.
In the present world, being 'halfies' is pretty privileged in Thai context as they often have a global mindset plus English communication skills, which is beneficial when it comes to compete in international beauty pageants.
But in the Philippines, we have no idea about the local sentiments so far.
From our observation based on history, this thousand-islands nation had been already embraced mixed race culture for hundreds years through multinational colonisation.
Today is the 21st Century, we haven't see any problems at all about potential ones who either have a half-blood or a pure blood.
Do you believe that we have a pure blood without mixed races ?
All is born equally!
