    This young post-millenial guy was born in Abra yet when he was still a baby his parents moved to the US and then to England where he eventually grew up. Then he occasionally travels back to stay with his cousins back in Abra, to have a cultural immersion experience on how it is," to live like us" aka, Pinoy life.
    Well. I told him never to greet Filipinos "Mabuhay", and also that Filipinos have a dynamite sense of humor, we also have an underrated yet highly tasty cuisine that verges on the extremes in the taste bud index, rice is a way of life, etc.

      Ilocanos in Hawaii think they are better than most Filipinos that's why they do not identify as Filipino. What's funny is that Ilocanos in Hawaii make less money and are less educated than most Filipinos in the US. They are at the bottom of the socio-economic status among all US Filipinos and in Hawaii in general. They look down on other Filipinos but have no political power against other races in Hawaii in spite of the fact they are now the majority. My only guess is that when they came here as farm workers back in the day, they were discriminated against and that became their norm so they do it to other Filipinos they perceived as lesser than them. Self-hating Filipinos are mainly a Hawaii thing. Most Ilocanos in the mainland identify simply as Filipino and do not act like their Hawaiian counterpart.

    Filipino here! (of Ilokano dissent) This makes sense since we are Austronesian peoples and we are cousins to the Hawaiians, even though they are more Polynesian but we are related thousands of years ago. Ilokanos are the closest to the original filipinos of the Philippine Islands. If you dig more about our philippine history you can find so many amazing things. Igorots also commonly speak Ilokano to communicate, although they have their unique language, they use Ilokano to communicate with the majority of locals in the Ilocos region., Also, a little off topic, but not: We have Spanish names due to Spain's influence on my country, but we are ASIAN. Filipinos were forced to change their names during the Spanish era to Spanish names for census reasons, thus this is why we have Spanish names, but 97% of us are Asian.

    I lived in Hawaii for 14 years and worked with a lot of Filipinos and when you ask someone if they are Filipino they will say No! I’m not Filipino I’m Ilokano. 🥲 so I stopped asking and if you tell them you are from Manila well, it’s like it’s a bad thing, It’s not just me with this experiences some friends and even my brother in law are Ilokano but born and raised in Manila and they are just not Ilokano enough and are put down. I don’t get it. But of course not all of them are like that.

Filipinos born and raised OUTSIDE in the Philippines who ONLY have an identity crisis because they are NOT culturally Filipinos they grow up OUTSIDE the Philippines so they didn't totally know our roots and start calling themselves as Pacific islanders especially our Filipino-American siblings who born and raised in the US, they having an identity crisis, they calling themselves as PACIFIC ISLANDERS because they already culturally American and already Americanized without knowing that we Filipinos are Asian origins, we are Asian by Cultures, languages and genetics even our geography is part of Asia.
