Instead of asking "What makes a good Filipino?", consider these questions:
* What qualities do I admire in people, regardless of their nationality? (Kindness, honesty, courage, empathy, etc.)
* What are some positive traits that I've observed in Filipinos I know? (These might include strong family values, resilience, a sense of humor, a love of music and dance, etc.)
Focusing on individual people and their positive traits is a much more respectful and accurate approach.
