Thanks for spreading the campaign. It’s not to totally put down these sites. We want equal opportunity to be placed in the “Filipina” search engine results.
Why in the world would any female (pinay or not) object to being called sexy? I would imagine it is one of the most ultimate of compliments!
Yes, geo marshall, that’s so true. Many of us, Filipinas, want to be called sexy but we want the word sexy to encompass the totality of the person and not just the physical, as is often referred to – and most certainly not what the smut purveyors want to portray.
Thanks, global voices online, for featuring this. This post is now number 2 on search results for sexy filipina.
thanks for being with us in our Campaign. albeit slowly, we hope to fully reclaim the clean image of the Filipina!
