Each color of the Philippine flag have meaning. Blue stands for unity and the noble desires of Filipinos. Red symbolizes the eagerness of Filipinos to shed blood in defense of their country. White stands for purity. The 3 stars in triangle formation represents the three divisions of the country..Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. While the sun with eight rays represents the eight provinces the revolted for independence.

This tattoo is from Richard of Sacramento.

Heart Over Hometown

Poty — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:00:37 +0000

How mesmerizing it is every time you see flower tattoos on a lady’s left back? Mesmerizing? Or should I say how sexy it is?

Anyway, this one is from Tina of Omaha. This a tribute for her mother. If you will notice, this tattoo with flowers over the Philippine Island have a small heart. That small heart shows her mother’s hometown “Cebu City.”

The Sun and The Islands

Poty — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:30:04 +0000

Take a look on how the Philippine Sun was spruced up by Emerald Tattoo (the shop who made this tattoo). The tattoo was obviously designed with Philippine Islands and Philippine Sun. To spice things up, the artist of this tattoo put a little twist on the Philippine Sun and surprisingly the Philippine Stars are not included.

The bearer of this tattoo is Rick Reddaway from Jackson.

Made in the Philippines

Poty — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:11:41 +0000

This amazing tattoo is from Gerald Genus of Colorado Springs, CO. He covered the entire area of his back with Philippine map, Philippine sun and stars, flowers and the words “Made in the Philippines” (which is obviously the meaning of his tattoo) and “Mark 9.23″.

If you will look closely at the colors blue and red, you will see that those are made from dots. Imagine how delicate and hard it is doing Gerald’s tattoo?

This great job are done by Juan from Ink Splat tattoo & Hardman tattoo.

Love My Roots

Randy Mack (Hawaii)
Love My Roots by Eguy Ipalari, Waipahu, Hawaii
“Thanks Homeboy. I’m proud of where I came from wherever I may lay down”.

Did you know that the first Philippine map, which was 27 inches wide and 42 inches long, was drawn by Nicolas dela Cruz and Francisco Suarez back in 1734?

Pinoy, a demonym for Filipino people, was first used in the 1920s by Filipino-Americans who were part of the first wave of Filipino migration to the United States. Take out the last four letters of Filipino, pino, and add up the letter Y to form the word. For many, Pinoy is similar to Mexican-American’s usage of Chicano.

No need for us to discuss who forms the roster of the Pinoy Pride. We might want to divert our attention from these already-known Filipino celebrities into the nameless heroes who are continuously giving out their best for the country.
