  1. Dona….and the national delicacy is “balut.”

    Every word in Tagalog basically sounds like a word for “fart”

    But my favorite expression from all of Asia is tagalog…it translates into “forest people” and is NOT an endearing term for someone…..

    Tsikiting gubat

    I love that phrase

    Another…antipatico bruha…incorrigible bitch.

    Such a lovely language

  2. yes, deLepp, typically the positive attributes of PRs (you know what I’m talking about) do not outweigh the mental baggage that comes along.

    Dominicans see to be far more easy going and, in the few cases I’ve been with are more impressive than the PRs in “that” department.

  3. The Philippines is not a true “Asian” culture. it’s mostly hispanic. I always say that it’s like that island floated over there frrom Latin America.

    ha ha dibs,
    300 years of Spanish influence will tend to do that.
    You know what’s funny, the Spanish from Spain today,
    tend to disavow any connection to the colonies they once had. The French and English are more responsible in that respect.
