PINOY is a slang term that caught on with the Florante song “Akoy isang Pinoy”("I am a Pinoy") that became
mainstream with Filipino culture (made by appending y to Fili-pino) to denote their country of origin and background.
KABAYAN is the proper way to address fellow Filipinos (meaning “coming from the the same country", or “fellow countryman”).
NOYPI is a colloquial variation of Pinoy (the syllables reversed).
FLIP was considered derogatory, though this is debatable. Folk etymology claims that it was coined by American soldiers from World War II to mean “Fucking Little Island Person”, but its true origin is in dispute. North American Filipinos have loosely used FLIP to describe their background. A plausible origin of the term is that it is a shortening of the word Filipino, and it sounds distinctive and blends with popular culture.
FOB was originally used by Americans to mean "Fresh off the Boat." Commonly used as an insult. But in recent times, it describes a Filipino background. Like FLIP, it's considered to be insulting, but Filipinos take it to be something of pride. FOB refers to having one of the Filipino accents, usually Tagalog accent. Filipino's take FOB and mean it as "Filipino on Vacation" where in Tagalog it would be pronounced "Filipino on Bakasyon" or something of the sort. It also means newcomer, or someone who is "Fresh" meaning they have the spirit of the native Pinoy in them still.

"How shall freedom be defended?
By arms when it is attacked by arms;
by truth when it is attacked by lies;
by democratic faith when it is attacked
by authoritarian dogma.
Always, and in the final act.
by determination and faith."
