Are Filipinos mayabang in nature?

Filipinos being mayabang in nature has helped a lot our country. Gihangaan ang atong mga OFW's abroad tungod sa yabang. Sigi na gipanghambog sa mga kaigsoonan nato nga the best ang filipino sa trabaho, so mao na maningkamot gyud ang uban pinoy just to protect that notion. mao na better side sa mayabang.
Pero sa mga nabasa nako diri nga thread nga mayabang materially like buying expensive cellphones bisan gakalisod, mao sad na nakaparat sa yabang. Fiesta, birthday ug uban pa nga mga bongga nga okasyon nga maoy nagpalisod sa uban nga pilipino. Spending more than they earn para lang makita nga wala nagkalisod. Kabantay mo, daghan gyud kaayo bangko, lending ug pawnshop sa pinas kay ngano...................... daghan man hingutang.

yup, mayabang basta sakto sa lugar lang...pero di ba "mayabang" or "hambugero" pareha ra na? how 'bout mahangin? proud or boastfull? libog ko gmay dah...i better check my dictionary again...especially tagalog-english disctionary...bisdak man gud kong dako...libog ko gmay kng tagalog na ang istoryahan. hehe

kng moingon ka: "proud to be filipino" or "proud to be cebuano", di man na mayabang...

i have been here in the states for well over a year now and heres what i have observed. the one that does most of the talking or yabang as we call it are most often times the people who were either uneducated and were just lucky to be here because of some relative, or that having a blue passport has made them forget of who they really are and where they have come from. the barrios, bukid, gubat, all these are forgotten dahil american citizens na sila. and lastly, there are also those who are simply born mayabang. but most of the time these 3 are the primary reasons why filipinos are mayabang. palibhasa may laman na ang bulsa kahit konti akala mo bida na. the funny thing is..........those elite filipinos in states, as in those elite in society at di yung elite elitan lang, they are the ones who do the less talk and show more actions. does this mean filipinos are mayabang? if you ask me my answer would be simple. "people will always be different from everyone else. Different in attitude, philosophy, work ethic, etc. but that doesnt mean that just because mayabng ang isa ibig sabihin nun mayabang na din ang iba. it all depends on how you look at it."

Depends on what one's definition is on mayabang. If you show off what is already obvious, if you still boast on something that you can do, yet, you can't, then its kayabangan. People from Cebu don't normally act that way. They do the talking by making it done. Dili na mistil manghambog kung nakita na nga mahimo niya.

i agree, i think people should know the clear line between mayabang and inggit. mayabang ba tlaga siya o baka naman inggit ka lang kaya mo nasabing mayabang siya? think about it? most of the time, when a person rises up from society what do people tend to say?.....MAYABANG SIYA...makes sense doesnt it? if your rich like lets say....bill gates and you bought a new porsche, does it make you mayabang? i dont think so, you can afford it so whats wrong? if you buy things you can afford and people call you mayabang that is crap, but....a big but, if do things that are way beyond your capabilities, that right there is mayabang.

Maybe sa ibang tao ang tingin ay pagyayabang pero maybe proud lang siya sa accomplishments niya. At huwag i-single out ang Pilipino -- pare-pareho lang ang mga tao sa buong mundo, kahit na ano pa ang kulay mo, maiiba pa ba yon. At nothing wrong with being proud. Basta hindi lang salita.
