Philippines

the farthest a nation can be from being asian, while still being considered asian.

Unlike other asian nations
-Language structure, mythologies, ancestry etc..have little in common with its asian brothers
-Christianity is the main religion
-Eat using spoon and forks instead of chopsticks
-Forgave Japan for its actions in WWII

However, like other asian nations
-Smart and hard working people
-Huge nationalism
-Member of the ASEAN + 3 (what makes them officially asian)

Not to be confused with Pacific Islanders

Guy: The Philippines are islands in the Pacific, so they are pacific Islanders

Intelectual: so is Japan....
