If you disregard her constant-PMS moments whenever calamities, terrorists or anything related to politics or being invaded comes to the topic. Anyway, she would pretty much befriend almost all of the nations so it's no surprise how many claim her to be quite a charming and one of the friendliest countries around. She doesn't let the past get to her, which is a good thing, so even old enemies are turned into acquaintances to her. ENEMIES OF ENEMIES It's not to say she holds grudge or anything, even though she lets the past behind her. Ok, so she still feel threaten whenever her people are in danger, or when she's in danger, so don't be surprise if she suddenly pulls out her weapon at you and start acting like her bloomers are in a bunch for some reason. She still recalls about what she faced back when she was still colonized by Spain, America and Japan, so though she has a good relationship with them, she still have second-thoughts in there if they're genuinely friends with her or they're just going to retaliate for all the stuff she did. Overall, she can be temperamental at times, and though she doesn't like to have enemies (she's just a small nation compared to the big guns out there), she won't hesitate to fight back if ever she feels the need to. LOVERS OF LOVERS Well, we're not sure if her relationship lately with America or Japan have something to do with it, but asides being colonized, I don't think she made a 'union' with the other nations, so that's still a clear deal. She's a romantic character, by the way, considering how, back then, girls are often being wooed by boys when she was still under Spain's jurisdiction. She's a gentlewoman, but with today's present society, she can also take a bold approach if things takes too long. Wooing her isn't really hard, and she's not exactly a picky kind, so go nuts with trying to win her. AND THE REST.... Once again, we stress the fact that she was colonized by both Spain, America and Japan (England is not included since he only lasted a few years top), so she have a different relationship with those three nations. She's also close with her Asian brethren (though a bit closer to her fellow brothers and sisters in the South East). Feel free to form a plot if the first three doesn't fit with your plot, go nuts and place it here, we'll work it out. Somewhat.[/style]

Having been stuck with America and Spain? X3 Mexico can't relate to that at all! I think they'd be friends-if only cause they tend to go gun-crazy when angry. (Whoo!) Also, during WWII, Mexico had the 'Aztec Eagles' help America in his plan to liberate you. I always think Resa was one of the pilots, even though she is...an okay driver, only.

Haha, I can see them now in their constant PMS mode anger management. Don't worry, Philippines finally solve it- you can practically throw almost any stuff to a particular part of a wall in her home- but yeah, they'll be friends. She might not know though that Mexico's one of those who helped Philippines (because she was too busy causing a guerrilla on Japan's ass) but she'll know if you give a mention on America and that (except, after you mention the war and all, Mexico might have to endure a bit with Philippines throwing a plate in the aforementioned part of the wall in her home). Yeah, I think those two will get along just fine.

Another SEA country!! owo

I'm not sure Singapore has much history with Philippines besides them both getting together with Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand to start ASEAN and being neighbouring countries. But I realize that, well, Philippines likes to eat alot too. Maybe Singapore and Philippine to get together for lunch sometimes xD
Singapore doesn't eat bugs though, just so you know.

Though they did went on a trade sometime on the later years, but yeah, she'll definitely go pig out eat out with Singapore from time to time, just for ol' time's sake. And don't worry, she won't let him eat some onf those bugs, she's too polite to do so. Balut's a different thing altogether. Probably one of the more-tolerable nations Philippines can handle, but that's just because some of her culture shares with his, so it's a good call. Ten cents of thoughts on the plot? [/style]

It's fine, better late than never right? xD

Anyway, the plot bunnies are really all just hopping away from me. I just managed to go as far as Singapore and Phillipines meeting up to go have lunch and end up freaking everyone out because of how much they can stuff themselves. I just find it funny how most Asian (especially South east asian) countries can eat alot. ;;

I am thinking of eating contest. I don't know why, but I am thinking of that. That or them probably pigging out while feeling dejected as soon as they find out that they're out of cash after paying for their food. Man, you're right, ASEANS do eat a lot. *snorts*[/style]

An eating contest. That is absolutely brilliant.

I don't know whether it's possible if they would actually not have enough money to pay for their food considering who/what they are. So I'm guessing an eating contest is our only option xD

Shall we open a thread in the restaurants section then?? xD;;

Sure~ I'll go make the thread~ XD

IRELAND and PHILLIPINES

So these two have a bit of plotting to do. Ireland and the Philippines have only started relations since 1986. But it has rapidly become a closer relationship. Ireland now has 12,791 Filipinos living in the country. Seeing as Phili is described as being all around friendly and doesn’t hold a grudge, I think perhaps these two could get along. Erin does get hostile and volatile sometimes. She gets mood swings, but ultimately she isn’t very threatening being small herself and with barely a military to be seen. She is no threat to Phili. With Phili being so relaxed and not holding those grudges she’d be good for Erin. Erin could use a few friends. I am not 100% sure how well Phili would handle Erin’s mood swings so whether this would work is up to you.


ANTARCTICA and PHILLIPINES

I have no real political grounds for these two. Rather it’s more that Desna is also very relaxed and easy going. He doesn’t really hold a grudge either and best of all he loves to travel. Living in Antarctica all the time is a tad boring so in recent years especially he has taken to travelling around and introducing himself to the various residents of wherever he chooses to go. Perhaps that is how these two would meet, or maybe it was at a world meeting that Des just showed up to (he does that too). I can see them getting along very well.

HAWAII and PHILLIPINES

I know that Phili was invaded and held by America for some time. Hawaii geographically isn’t that far away and is the closest of the US states to Phili. Lani is very fun loving and much like Desna loves to travel. I can see her having visited before and dragged Phili into some adventurous activities…if the Phillipines would be interested.
