According to the Happy Planet Index, Philippines ranks 17th, way above other first-world countries such as Japan and the United States.
What exactly is the Happy Planet Index? According to the site, it’s “an innovative new measure that shows the ecological efficiency with which human well-being is delivered.” It represents “the average years of happy life produced by a given society, nation or group of nations, per unit of planetary resources consumed. Put another way, it represents the efficiency with which countries convert the earth’s finite resources into well-being experienced by their citizens.”

HIP: III-J feat. Monique - First Wifey
... You'd think this isn't local. Comes out very strong.
NOT: Dice & K9- 6 In Da Morning
... You'd think this is completely local, and weak too. This isn't hip-hop or rap. UGH. And they won "Best Rap" in the 19th Awit Awards. Lame.
... "Pop the bottle and let's get drunk now coz the club is getting crunk now.." - - What the heck is that? WEAK chorus.
But it's just my opinion.
Buk-Buk - - Insult originates in Hawaii. A slur on how their language sounds to non-Filipinos. Sounds like "book-book."
Fili Cheese Steak - - Refers to what it looks like when a Filipino woman is in a gangbang.
Filthy Pino - - Poor Filipinos, Filipinos who act black.
Fligga - - Flip + nigga. Filipino's attempting to act black.
Fligger - - Filipinos that think they are black.
Flip - - Shortened and rearranged term, easier to say. Could also stand for "Funny (or Fucking) Little Island People".
Huk - - Kukbong magpapapaylan bayan. Communist renegades.
LBFM - - Female Filipinos, or Asians in general. From 70's military slang, stands for "Little Brown Fucking Machine"
Little Brown Buddy - - FDR referred to them as this.
Mail-order Bride - -The Philippines is one of the biggest sources of mail-order brides.
Pineapple - - Pineapples grow there and they kinda look like pineapples. Short, Fat, with weird hair.
Rag - - Filipinos (especialy women) tend to have raggy looking course hair
Seagull - - Possibly from how Filipinos often travel overseas to work like migratory birds (although the seagull is not migratory...). Heard in Japan, used by non-Japanese.
Tailless Monkeys - - Americans who came to the Philippines at the end of the 19th century called Filipinos tailless monkeys because they were small, brown, and said to live in trees.
TNT - - "Tago Nang Tago" It's a filipino thats an illegal alien. Translates to "hides and hides" (from the I.N.S.)
