Mestiza=Maganda???

[little_princess]

when you say mestiza, i would think half-half yung person or very pre-dominant yung feature ng ibang race.

this is generally the misconception but beauty will always and forever be subjective kaya there is no right or wrong answer. but i have seen mestizas and they are not really pretty or gwapo. i would see kids that are cute but when they grow up, masyadong sharp features nila.

^^yap i know... Anyway my grandfather is half filipino half spanish..

[junetwentythree]

^ Making you only of Spanish descent correct? Again, like MOST of us. My grandmother is also half Spanish making my mother a quarter and me? Who knows. Frankly I don't really care. Filipinos make such a big deal of this Spanish lineage, perhaps making them feel more of an elite, when in fact we all are a little Spanish.

^ amen. 

^ I think you are more of "chinita" because you have Chinese blood eh, but you really look mestiza to me. Also, you remind me of my schoolmate na fair-skinned din...

I'll take that as a compliment.   Truth is, I often get uncalled for comments such as "Maputi ka lang.", "Hindi naman katangusan ang ilong", etc... back home (kahit hindi naman ako nakikipagpagandahan) because despite my pasty skin, I don't have the typical mixed blood features (which is fine kasi I'm 100% Pinay naman). Kiber. Marami lang talagang laitera sa'tin.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..  

[freelancer_babe]

Ampf!!! Di rin.

Bakit mga foreigners mas type nila ang mga morena.

Mga locals naman mas type ang mga maputi. Look at the most of the people that we find good-looking sa showbiz.

[molybdenumstudios]

@Prunella: Actually I like your complexion. Rosy white, not like the typical Anne Hathaway skin tone na mas maputla pa kay Lucy Torres.

Anyways, back to topic. The likes of Iza Calzado and Dawn Zulueta are not very fair, but their features are foreign. Ika nga, most celebs we know are only pansinin because they're fair... pano na lang kung paitimin sila... hehe.

[madmaxz]

healthy looking skin = maganda
kahit maputi kung pangit kutis wala din.

[Pink_Sugar]

maganda din yung mga blue eyed na mulatto tapos olive skin. yung parang tipong sa isla nakatira tapos wavy hair, brown skin tapos aqua eyes.

[kris_17]

mas uso ngayon ang mga chinita... pero depende parin... kanya kanyang trip yan... hehe

[molybdenumstudios]

^ I find chinitas more attractive than mestizas.

[caloy168]

well, we do have different standards yet in general...here in the Phils. girls who are tall, fair complexioned have plus factor. . .

[ice angel]

have ask a guy friend. yes gusto nila meztiza. mas attractive sa kanila.

[lent0t]

pag maputi kasi they look clean, kaya siguro mukhang maganda. recently, marami ng morena na maganda and they have clear skin.

siguro ang secret dapat flawless ang skin. yun mga girls na di naka makeup pero parang may foundation sa sobrang fine ng pores nila. they look pretty to me. i actually envy them dahil malaki pores ng peys ko.

ahhh one thing i admire sa meztiza is their nose. i just like their high bridge nose and fair skin, other than that wala na.

and it all depend sa preference ng tao, i prefer chinito/chinita. mas appealing ang asian beauty sa akin 

[sacred cow]

tingin ko depende lang 'yan kung saan ka hindi sanay

like a ako, I'm chinese and came from chinese schools since bata...kaya sawang sawa na ako sa chinita
and I find mestizas and some morenas prettier

mga friends ko namang pinoy, gandang ganda sa chinita pero kapag may tinuturo akong tisay...
sinasabi...nadaan lang daw sa puti.

mga foreigner naman, gustong gusto sa mga "exotic" nating kababayan

[jaymejorrol]

well kadalasan kasi nadadala lang sa kaputian kaya maganda pag mestisa, pero di ko naman po nilalahat, try nyo po ii-magine pag maitim yung mestiza na girl kung maganda parin and dun mo malalaman kung talagang maganda sya

[Pink_Sugar]

Pag maganda nose at jawline kahit maitim, maganda sa paningin ko

[onlygirl]

meztisa=maganda?  of course not lalo na kung maputla na sa ka mestizahan.

[Fluffyheart]

maganda din yung mga blue eyed na mulatto tapos olive skin. yung parang tipong sa isla nakatira tapos wavy hair, brown skin tapos aqua eyes.

Reminds me of Adriana Lima. Super hottttt.
Anyway, i don't think being mestiza/maputi equals being pretty.
For me mas appropriate kung being mestiza/maputi equals PANSININ.

[jaymejorrol]

we all know.. kahit hindi kagandahan ang girl pero pag maputi, mabilis mapansin, and others say maganda kasi lutang yung kulay nya lalo na pag makinis ang skin..

honestly kapag sinabi kasi nating maganda ang itsura.. maputi, maitim o morena man ang kulay, hindi nagbabago image nya.. talagang maganda parin sya.. well kapag mestisa naman, hindi lahat maganda.. kasi pg sinabing mestisa, it means maputi lang sya.. may mestisa bang maitim? di ba? hehe..

mestisa and morena eh parang skin complexion lang, white and dark.. pero iba ang maganda..
