Filipino women are expected to be pakipot (playing hard to get) because it is seen as an appropriate behavior in a courtship dance. By being pakipot, the girl tells the man that he has to work hard to win her love. It is also one way by which the Filipina will be able to measure the sincerity of her admirer. Some courtships could last years before the woman accepts the man's love.
A traditional dalagang Pilipina is someone who is mahinhin (modest, shy, with good upbringing, well-mannered) and does not show her admirer that she is also in love with him immediately. She is also not supposed to go out on a date with several men. The opposite of mahinhin is malandi (flirt), which is taboo in Filipino culture as far as courtship is concerned

Citing her own experience as a student in Manila, Botengan also traced the time when Igorot would refer to someone who was ''dirty, unwashed and
unkempt with kinky hair and a tail.'' The label would also refer to someone ''who beats cans while begging in the streets of Manila.''
An old dictionary meaning referred to Igorot as ''barbarian, uncouth or uncivilized.'' But journalist Ramon Dacawi, an Ifugao, said Igorot should be
redefined as ''good-looking, sturdy, rich or intelligent.''
