Controversies
The concept of Pinoy pride has not been without its share of controversies. These controversies stem from discussions and debates surrounding various aspects of Pinoy pride, its effect on nationalism, and its commodification in the media through Pinoy baiting.

Nationalism
Pinoy pride is criticized for fostering an excessive or narrow form of nationalism, leading to an overly positive portrayal of the Philippines and an oversight of valid criticisms or concerns. Concerns rise from how the unwavering sense of pride may hinder constructive discussions about social, political, and economic issues that require attention and improvement in the Philippines.

Pinoy baiting
Pinoy baiting refers to the phenomenon where content creators outside the Filipino community engage in the commodification of Pinoy pride, targeting Filipino audiences by featuring Filipino culture in excessive ways. This practice has raised controversy due to concerns about the perpetuation of the "white man's gaze" and the potential prioritization of validation from other countries.
