COMMENT ON "SIGNS BACK HOME"

"Very funny. But I must add, its not only in the Philippines, you can find so much of these puns in most countries. But yes, those in the Philippines are most amusing to us, because we can relate to them well, and after all, we are Filipinos, hehehe

let me add about taho: we know that its from soya bean right? But as a young man near UP Diliman, I and my classmates didnt know it for a fact; one even debated it came from pigs. So, one morning we called the mamang taho vendor, and while he was decanting those creamy stuff to small plastic cups, we asked him: "Manong, saan po galing ang taho?"

In a perfectly serious voice and demeanor, without batting an eyelash, and without pausing from his decanting of the taho he replied: " Galing to sa Cubao."


Hahahahahahah!


And oh by the way, how shocking it tis to learn that the flourescent is not named after Agapito Flores, its suppossed inventor... that the Tasadays of Elizalde were a hoax, and the Code of Calantiao as well.

When asked reportedly why the fraud of the Code of Calantiao, some one said, you filipinos were thirsty of a civilization before the Spaniards, for national identity and pride of ancestors, ginawan ko na kayo ng history galit pa kayo?

Hahahahaha!"
