mabuhay ang pinoy.
I really liked reading the taxi adventure story. This story telling does capture my interest,…thank you.
you are invited to hang around with us at http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/Temogen
Brilliant site: greetings from an Anglo-Fil family in Leicester, England. I think the gallery photos are excellent. We will recommend this site to friends viting the Philippines for the first time in 2007!
Maraming salamat sa paanyaya. Napakaganda ng Pinoy Centric at ito ay patunay lamang kung gaano kagaling ang Pilipino. Sana sa pamamagitan ng Pinoy Centric ay mabigyan ng pagkakataon ang marami na maipakita ang kanilang kagalingan…sa kultura at arte.
Nakikiisa ang pahayagang Mindanao Examiner sa magandang layunin ng Pinoy Centric.
Mabuhay ang Pinoy Centric at mabuhay ang bawat Pilipino sa buong mundo!
I am awed by the pinoycentric site. I have tears in my eyes right now. Something about being pinoy and the drama i have in my life and my innate wish for our race to be recognized and honored for all the great talents that we have. thanks a million. its really very comforting and soul-lifting.
Awesome site! Love the site, very informative and really good, hope one day you add a store directory for those who didnt know there are filipino stores near them!
your site is so inspiring. Im so happy to have found great filipino minds who are always proud to shout to the world that they are one. thanks also for the feature @ notebookism. =) hopefully your site will be the window to the world for my journals.
Congrats to Pinoy Centric.com This is another window to our Pilipino community. Ka Armand you take care and don’t gain too much weight ( mahirap ang walang pera ano lalong tumataba, hehehe)To the staff, keep up the good work. Ka Armand I’ll call you when the Kuh and Wyngard Tracy video’s done.
Thanks to pinoycentric.com for the invite.

Learn how to spot triggers;
Learn about symptoms and treatment options;
Join other family members who know how you feel and who have “been there”;
Meet new people that you can talk with openly and can rely on for support.
Hi Karla,
Can’t believe after three years following our Philam OSI work I’ll find you in this better-than-expected PinoyCentric team. How are you doing, girl? Wish you all the best.
Hi Armand,
Thanks for inviting me. This is a great site. Plenty of room to grow in. I look forward to contributing a short article, if that’s fine with you.
Hey Ariel A.,
It’s been a long time since Santa rolled down the barrel for Mount Apo. Oh boy, haven’t heard you for eons, only to catch your thread at PinoyCentric. This is a great place to be.
A very cohesive and expansive website. It has interesting topics and the people featured are worth looking into. The photo gallery put a smile on my face and reminded me that it is just a click away from home. The other photos “Kumusta na?” gave me another wake up call. Great Job to the people behind this informative website; not only for Filipinos but for the whole world
“MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS” mabuhay ang mga PIlipino, sana, lets support each other so that our teachers, nurses and the like will not go to other countries….Lets educate them that money is the last number of a line of success…Pinoy rules
This is what it’s all about- Real Filipinos, doing real things for a better world. Thanks guys!
Enough excuses. Enough apologies. We’re all tired of those…
Thanks for making this site. Thanks for reminding us that there is so much to discover and embrace about ourselves, our people, our land. So many of us need to remember.
We have to stop playing the role of victim in the universal cosmic karma of things. Let’s get over the ‘we are so kawawa, and we will always need others to save us’ mentality. Sites like yours are definitely the way.
I believe that ours is an excellent race! We are such noble, hardworking, kind, friendly, inventive, lovable people(I think anyone involved in this site can vouch for it). Don’t let anyone forget -Brown is definitely beautiful!
I was surfing the internet, when I came across your last name. Being that is was the same as mine, I just thought I’d say hi…
I have never known my last name to be prominent in sooo many other countries, other than America and Italy.
Its nice to know I have a truely international last name.
I’m a singer but I loved to eat and cook authentic delicacies like you do.Would you please send me your ingridients and how to make chicken wings with cheese.
More power to show and God Bless..
Me and my daughter really like it!!!
“All things brown and beautiful” sadyang napakagandang mga kataga na maiuugnay sa Pilipino (Pilipans). Taas noo Pinoy! Galing ng site nyo! Isa ko na itong paborito! :)
What a beautiful site – it’s like taking a walk on the beach or swimming in a forest pool to find a site like this, thank you! Will definitely be back! Halala, salaam & dankie from South Africa ;-)
I maintain a private very good Filipiniana collection of old books, old postcards, graphics, etc. freely available for use by
readers by appt. at my condo in Global City, Metro Manila.
You can see the image and description by googling

Salamat,

PS I am still buying books and materials if anyone has something to offer to sell.
I appreciate this site because I am a Filipina living in Arizona. I left the Philippines when I was about 9 or 10 and I grew up here in the USA and all I know from the Philippines is Tagalog. I speak it because my mother taught me how to speak it. I learned a lot while visiting this site. Thanks!
at home na at home ako…and napaka-entertaining!
I’m an aspiring artist and I really appreciate the contents of this site… hope someone here can help me get a Fine Arts Certification Course in UP hehehe…
Hey guys, I’m bryan reyes, 19 years old, a loud and proud gay. just want you to know that i’m a fan of your books, although that i dont have any copy of it 9 too sad)
i really really idolize your works, and i hope i can submit my own work also, sana poh pwede..

Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino
Pilipino saan mang lupalop ng mundo
Aba sympre pati ikaw na nagbabasa nito
Astig ka! masipag , mahusay, Pilipinong totoo…
mmwahugs! ;)
But ba kinailangan natin gumamit ng salita kung ang salita na’to ay ikaw lang marahil ang nakaka-intindi?
Why not speak tagalog instead?
Kaya tuloy lagi na lang nag-aaway mga politician natin ay dahil ‘ndi sila magka-intindihan.
Nice site… Good luck!
Janjavel
Its me:)
I really like your website! It is awesome but still need a little more colors…
Bye guys!
The “ika nga” page is super hilarious. I miss pinoy jokes so much. Thanks!
proud to be pinoy! above all,silingan…mabuhay! estakton.
“All things brown and beautiful” sadyang napakagandang mga kataga na maiuugnay sa Pilipino (Pilipans). Taas noo Pinoy! Galing ng site nyo! Isa ko na itong paborito! :)

Hi!I like your site keep going.
I am interested to join to the story writing competition but i can’t sent to your e-mail address. How can I submit my entry?
It seems that after a break, this site has started up again. I am glad for that. I have also started a site with a Pinoy theme: celebrating and promoting the musicians of Dumaguete City and Negros. DumagueteMusic.com has a growing collection of videos of live music. Maybe 1/3 are Tagalog. Welcome back PinoyCentric!
