The pinoy is the manly term and pinay is the feminine term. The text pinoy or pinay is derived from by taking the last four syllable of a word, or a name, and adding an finishing -y in the Filipino talk communication, which also highly is dependent on the language (Bisaya, Ilonggo, Tagalo, etc). This suffix or syllable change is noticeable in many Filipino nicknames such that the term Benigno becomes Noynoy, Augusto becomes Totoy, and so on.
