We all know the famous actor Brad Pitt.
Many Filipinos must love this actor for his looks or maybe because of his acting.
Let the Filipinas speak for themselves.
It’s not Brad Pitt where I’m writing about today. It is about what Filipinos can do with such a famous name.

The Philippines also has a (only in the Philippines) (world-)famous (comedy) actor. His name is Isko Salvador, but he is better known as Brod Pete.
He is a co-host in a Philippine Bingo TV show hosted by ABS-CBN as a side kick to Chris Aquino. In this show, but probably also in theater shows his stage name is pronounced as Brad Pitt.
I wonder why he couldn’t choose a more original name. Maybe it was his manager who choose the name for him.

But in Cubao, on the corner of P.Tuazon Blvd and Kalantiaw is the name of our famous american actor used for something different, and very creative.
On the corner of the mentioned street is a bread shop named: Bread Pit.
They apparently do not only sell bread; but also Coca-Cola and cigarettes, if you can believe their signs.
I keep on publishing remarkable pictures and stories on this website. So come back regularly.
Filipino time:
Hi Jan. No scrambled letters in this one.
Yes they can be quite creative in their variations. I have seen several eating establishments called Mang Donalds.
In Angeles City there is a small grocery called 7Even. With a similar logo on their sign to another well known establishment.
Hi Tom,
You should also collect them and put on your site. Otherwise you may send them to me and I will publish them.
I’ll have to start taking pictures of that stuff. I realized since I started my site that I don’t take enough pictures.
Tom,
It makes the site more attractive, people like to SEE something, they often read stories half or not if the title isn’t appealing to them. With a nice attractive picture they take the time to read the story.
Yes I try to include as many pictures as I can. I have some posts where I need to revisit and take more pictures to add.
