The pivotal moment happened when my former officemates ganged up on me and told me that I am not really from the Philippines or I am not Philippine/Philippinen.
I felt disowned.
I resigned from that company.
I felt I had no country.
From then on, I do not say I am Philippine.
Yes, citizenship is Filipino but that's about it.
Growing up, I always felt like an outsider and the Single Ancestry phenotype group which are Austronesian would really make you feel that.
I have no grudge at all.
That's just a fact of life!
C'est la vie!
Danke schön...
