I am PANGO and I am Beautiful!

I got this idea when I saw an article about their struggles on wearing an eyeglasses. Then I suddenly remember the first time that I had my eyes checked by an Opthalmologist. She recommended me to wear an eyeglass because I have astigmatism.

Then she deliberately told me that I should choose a frame that has a nose bridge because I am pango and needed those kind of frames. I swear, I will never go back to that Optical clinic again, lol!

I grew up in a family where there is no Pango(flat nose). My grandparents have a sharp nose. So are my father and my sisters. Besides being a Pango, I also have dark skin, unlike my two sisters who are faired skin. I got these features from my mother. I am not saying that my mother is not pretty, she may not have a sharp nose but she has a dimple on both cheeks that makes her so charming every time she smiles. And lucky my sister is because she got that dimples.

At a young age, I feel so different and they make it worst when they teased me that I'm adopted. That they got me from a pile of cow's dung. I would cry every time. I would run to my Lola's house and then my Lola would scold them while they were just laughing.

Then I started going to school(kindergarten). Most of my classmates call me names like Pango, aeta, Negra, and ugly. I tried to not mind them at first but the more they teased me, the more pain it caused me. I began to isolate myself from them. I ate my snacks separately. My teacher noticed my sudden aloofness so she asked me if something is bothering me. Then one of my classmates told her that most of my classmates were bullying me. So she talked to them and warned them not to do it again or else they will be expelled. My teacher told me that I am beautiful in my own way. That I should not let anyone trampled my personality, that I should fight back.

After she said that, I did feel a little confident about myself. Then I started to be good in our class. I was always on top of our class at that time and those who were bullying me before, become so friendly. They let me play with them and even shared their snacks. I finished kindergarten with honor. My teacher was so proud of me, I can feel that. And she told me to always believe in myself, that I am pretty.

So unfortunate that I forgot her name. I really admire her for lifting me up when I feel so down. She helped me believe in myself.

So I realized, I may not be as beautiful as they are but I have my brains that I could use to my advantage(sounds revengeful, lol!). I tried hard to be on top of my class always. My relatives began to praise me. Most people recognized me as a bright, intelligent student and I liked it. It somehow boosts my confidence.

But of course, there was still time that I am being compared to my sisters. And you know how it feels to be compared to others? I feel like trash, that I don't belong to them. So I still wish that if there is a way that I could be pretty, I would do that. I even pray that I could find a lamp that there was a genie on it so that I can have 3 wishes, lol!

But as time passed by, I learned how to deal with those kinds of feelings. I also ignored those people who keep calling me names. I started to love myself more. For me, I am unique, and being unique is good. I started to feel more confident and because of that, I gained more friends, friends who never called me ugly, friends who accepted me of who I am even if I am Pango. I also experienced love by the opposite sex which by the way is so far from my imagination. Because I thought no one would love me because of my appearance. And let me show off a little, these guys were so out of my league. Like most of their friends would even tell them, why me? why not girls who are pretty? I just laughed every time I heard them, like hello, that's none of your business*flicking hair*

Final Thought

Being pretty is not all about the pretty face, slim body, skin as fair as snow. It is all about confidence, accepting your flaws, and loving them. It is how you carry yourself in front of other people. Be confidently beautiful in your own, unique way. Just like me, I AM CONFIDENTLY BEAUTIFUL WITH ANAK.

I admire you sis sa kabila ng naranasan mong binubully ka nila naging matatag ka parin at pinakita mo sa lahat na you deserve more friends.

Walang matangos o pango sa mundo sadyang ang mga tao lang talaga ang mapanghusga sa kapwa.

We call that envy, my daughter had a beautiful long and curly hair like few others, her classmates made fun of her because most of them had straight hair, we did several treatments until it was straight, now she wants it like when she was a child, her hair lost that shape that I liked so much, all to please others. I guarantee that many would like to be like you.

I can feel how hard it was for your daughter. I believe that after a long time, her hair would be back to its original form.

Thank you for that Mr. Frankmart..

Thanks for this article. It's very uplifting. I'm also Pango but I love my nose. Despite having two siblings with nose that close to perfect. Especially my sister haha, she also has the fair skin. But what's funny about us siblings, is that the one who gets teased at is my older sister. She's the oldest among us three sibling, and the most good looking. My older brother and I would always tease her that she's the adopted one because she's the only fair skin in the family. Because our parents are both Kayumanggi.

Though fun fact, she got the fair skin from our Lolo on our mother's side. Because her family family has a bit of Spanish blood I think.

You're beautiful, Ateee. We are! Maybe many people seen girls or boys who have a flat nose not beautiful, but we are. We can't please everyone but what's important is how we look at ourselves. Sa amin na magkakapatid, magaganda naman mga ilong namin lalo na kay bro. Ang tangos. Sa min naman ni sis is medjo pointed din pero sakto lang. Pero maganda ka, Ate. Sa amin ka maniwala dito, wag sa mga bully sa paligid. Okiii? :)

At the end of the day, brains before beauty always work out best. I remember when I was younger I used to care what other people thought of me. The older I get, the less I care, and the less it matters. Interestingly enough, it's those beautiful people that now come to me when they want something...

Because they have beauty, and I have money. lol

I'm happy for you because you accepted your true self instead of listening and minding those people. We are all Beautiful and gorgeous in our own way, no one has the power to define us by our apprearence. Every one is unique and different from each other and that's the thing which makes us imperfectly perfect and Beautiful.

I can relate, my grandparents from both sides has Spanish roots. My maternal grandma's nose is so pointed and so is her siblings. Even when my grandfathers (grandma's brothers) are already old, being good looking is still visible. They have pointed nose like the Latinos. But my mom's dad is 'pango' and my mom inherited that - which we also inherited (sad to say). Sometimes i complain to them and tell them why mom's DNA have to be stronger than my dad's. ANd why I have to inherit being pango instead of my grandparent's pointed nose 😭

I just consle myself by thinking that if I have a pointed nose, I'd be perfect 🤣🤣

Anyway, we're still beautiful even when we're "pango" 🤣

Diba sabi nga, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ? hehehe...relate ako sayo sis. Nung bata pa din ako, pangulo din tawag saken (root word: pango). Tapos may isa pa, yung iswad kasi malaki daw pwet ko. Nag iiyak pako nun pag niloloko nila ako.

Pero nung mag college ako, nabuksan ang aking mga mata na ang pagiging iswad pala ay asset ng babae :)..yung pinsan kong panganay ang nagsabi saken kasi napansin nya ang lalaki ng damit na sinusuot ko palagi. Para nga kasi matakpan yung pwet ko. Sinabi nya saken na, dimo ba alam? Asset yan?... So mula noon, naging confident nako sa sarili ko at wapakels na din ..

Gang ngayon, tampulan pa din ng pambubully saken ang akong kapanguan :)..pati nga si mister nakikisali..hehehe..pero tinatawanan ko nalang ...kasi lahat ng anak ko, sa akin nagmana ng ilong..wahahahaha..sabi ko, malakas naman ang dugo kahit pango..lol!.

Some people live in a misapprehension that if we have pointed nose and white skin we are considered beautiful while if we have dark skin, flat nose, or big eyes we are considered ugly. Everyone has their standard of beauty, but sometimes those standards limits or blind them to see how beautiful a person is.

A beautiful person can accept his/her flaws, that's why you are beautiful. You don't have to listen to other people's opinions because you know yourself and you know how beautiful you are inside and out. Kaway kaway sa lahat ng readers and writers diyan! Ang gaganda at gagwapo niyo!
