MAP: The World According to Filipinos - When In Manila

A satirical map created by Mr. White Patch showed the world according to Filipinos.

Obviously, it uses Filipino stereotypes.

For instance, on the map, we can see several places labeled “Kano” (a shortened version of Amerikano) because apparently, for us, all white people are “Kano.”

Australia represents kangaroo while New Zealand is milk. India is 5-6, which pertains to loan sharks. Japan is high-tech, due to their advanced technologies.

Funnily, Turkey is Yilmaz, for Yilmaz Bektas, Ruffa Gutierrez’s ex-husband.

The map was posted in 2012, so it needs a little updating.

This is how the young Filipinos viewed the rest of the world since Filipinos stereotyped South Koreans as k-pop nearly a decade ago.

1 We never think of Aids or Hunger when we think of Africa. 

2 We never confuse a European with a White American because Europeans usually have a accent.

This is comedy and it's supposed to be not taken seriously
