What do we mean by “balance?”
The word “Filipina” on the internet showcases websites that are top-heavy on her physical attributes, dating availability, or marriage suitability. What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing and everything.

But it must be noted that search engines are not the enemy. These search engines, after all, only reflect the prevailing reality in cyberspace.
The Filipina who is a mail-order bride, date seeker, or sex worker is not the enemy, either. They are every bit as worthy of being called Filipinas as other Filipinas.
A Google bomb (also referred to as a 'link bomb') is Internet slang for a certain kind of attempt to influence the ranking of a given page in results returned by the Google search engine.
Because of the way that Google's algorithm works, a page will be ranked higher if the sites that link to that page use consistent anchor text. A Google bomb is created if many sites link to the page in this manner.

There is no such thing as this campaign would shape the
Filipina Images. We are already known to be the
“Gold Digger of the World” of this era.
The FilipinaImages Campaign is another “squatters wall” another
“urban beautification project” that seeks only to improve the image of
the affluent Filipina.....
Criticisms From Owners & a User of Filipina Dating Sites

In any goal, whatever courses of action that do not contribute to its attainment should be excluded. In this case, the goal is to project a good image of the Filipinas.
SO WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THE LINKS AND THE ARTICLE OF ABOUT A FILIPINA WHO WAS THE SUBJECT OF NEGATIVE BLOGS OF A BRITISH GUY DOING IN THE SUPPOSED SEO CAMPAIGN TO RESHAPE FILIPINA IMAGE. The article is even entitled CONNED by A Filipina.
Pakiesplika nga? PAra bang sa isang billboard na nagpopromote ng magandang kutis pagkatapos may malaking taghiyawat sa mukha ng model. (untog-untog ulo)
