Spanish bread exists though. They are kind of a pale bread with a filling and are dusted with crumbs, I think. The filling is sugar butter though.

If anyone wants to take offense over the term Filipinos, it’s probably over how Filipinos used to just mean Spaniards who lived in the Philippines, as opposed to Indios.

But if the term “Las islas Filipinas” can be shorted to Filipinas and The Philippine Islands to The Philippines, why can’t Filipino cookies or The Philippine Cookies be shortened the same way.

I ate those many years ago in Spain and I still remember the taste. They tasted like the ones they have in the country where I was born. I am still trying to buy them but I don’t know from where. I finally realized that maybe throught the internet I may find them and I found this website.

Whatever the manufacturers’ (or conceptualizers’) reasons were for naming it ‘Filipinos’ doesn’t change it that the chocolate is awesome! It could be they just wanted the name to sound exotic; as Westernized as the Philippines is than most countries in Asia, lots of people still are unfamiliar with it. I just had lunch with a Norwegian-American dude who asked a lot about Philippine culture, places, and lifestyle.

Mr. Marketman, I was wondering about someone’s question here regarding King Philip II’s being ‘Prince of the Asturias’ when the arhcipelago was discovered. What I remember from Philippine History is that it was Rui Lopez de Villalobos who named the country “Filipinas” or “Felipinas” some expeditions after Magellan’s (Magellan’s name for the islands was something like ‘Islas de San Lazaro’). And at the time of Villalobos’s naming, Philip was already King of Spain. I could be wrong; my last Philippine History class was years ago. ^_^

I got these for pasalubong from a friend who just came from Spain. Like you I didnt know what to feel about it at first. I was amused and puzzled..one after the other and worse both at the same time. I put off eating it right away because it felt weird to answer the question “what are you doing?” hmm “eating Filipinos” It felt like being a cannibal, eating my own kind. LOL but needless to say when it was time to taste it, I really loved it and couldnt stop eating it. My stash is all gone. I wonder if this is available in the US.

Really i guess the filipinos are the best.Even if we are stupid and cowards (like myself) we tend to loving and compassionate and we’ve got TONS of passion for what we love. The Philippinez humor are really great right now i’m proud to say that i am a filipino. PILIPINAS,MAHAL KITA!!!!

Read through all the posts, and am just amused at our Pinoy sense of humor really. At first, I was offended because it was obviously becasue of our skin color. They only expanded the range AFTER our complaint. But it’s no big deal now, I think. I view it more as a curiosity now. The product is known and popular. What irks me more is the domain filipinos.com as it refers to the cookie. Didn’t any one of us want it? Sayang haha

I know it’s off topic but they were quick to get the domain name filipinos.com when it should’ve been one of us (filipinos). Anyway, I’m not offended by the filipino cookies. We have the best cocoa here!

Finally got hold of this Filipinos biscuits – I was in Barcelona a week ago – not bad really. I tried them all: dark, milk and white chocolate. They seem to be very popular in Spain – everybody knows them and likes them, especially young people. They even have a homepage where you can join the “Filipinos community” : https://www.filipinos.com
