Some time ago I wrote already about the fact that copyright is something a Filipino doesn’t honor that much. They like to copy everything. See my posts about McDonalds versus Jollybee and others. And my post about prints on t-shirts number 1. This time I will show you more t-shirt prints where they have...
If the right word to use is ‘return‘ or ‘comeback‘ I don’t know. Fact is that we have returned from Bicol where we have spend some time to celebrate my father-in-law’s 96th birthday. We have come back to Manila a few days earlier than planned because of the continuesly showers, on some days there...
Continuation from Hi, I’m Emily part 2 Here in the Philippines I have met a few other species of my kind. They are not that smart like me, but they are nice. Although sometimes they are annoying and asking for food whole day. I cannot understand why they do not have their own servants....

Filipinos like to copy everything. And they also do so, a lot. They are masters in copying names, change it a little or having the same concept as other companies. There are lots of examples for it. Have you heard about the hamburger store Mang Donald ? (doesn’t exist anymore because of a law...

This article has been published before on Global Balita The year that was Theres The Rub By Conrado de Quiros Philippine Daily Inquirer The previous year ended with a grim reminder of what the previous administration had been.

In an earlier post from may 2009 I showed you already a few pictures of Filipinos sleeping on the weirdest places. Here are two more. One is taken in one of the malls in Manila. Malls sometimes put chairs or couches for their visitors to rest a little from shopping. Those places however are...
