 Filipino women are expected to be pakipot (playing hard to get) because it is seen as an
appropriate behavior in a courtship dance.   By being pakipot, the girl tells the man that he has
to work hard to win her love.  It is also one way by which the Filipina will be able to measure
the sincerity of her admirer.  Some courtships could last years before the woman accepts the
man's love. 

A traditional dalagang Pilipina is someone who is mahinhin (modest, shy, with good
upbringing, well-mannered) and does not show her admirer that she is also in love
with him immediately. She is also not supposed to go out on a date with several
men. The opposite of mahinhin is malandi (flirt), which is taboo in Filipino culture as
far as courtship is concerned

•Igorot 'nationalism': From shame to pride
3rd Igorot International Consultation held in Baguio City on April
26 to 28 ''Who are the Igorots?''

Citing her own experience as a student in Manila, Botengan also traced the
time when Igorot would refer to someone who was ''dirty, unwashed and
unkempt with kinky hair and a tail.'' The label would also refer to someone
''who beats cans while begging in the streets of Manila.'' 

An old dictionary meaning referred to Igorot as ''barbarian, uncouth or

uncivilized.'' But journalist Ramon Dacawi, an Ifugao, said Igorot should be
redefined as ''good-looking, sturdy, rich or intelligent.''
