The Filipino boxer's English is too good to be true. Everybody in the Phils. knows Filipino boxers barely graduate high school and has a shitty English....the "allegedly" Filipino boxer also mentioned Pacman injects it in his UPPER QUADRANT. Haha. No Filipino boxer would know that medically specific term, least to speak a decent English. Even native speakers would not typically use "upper quadrant" in a statement as most don't know what that means....it's obviously to make that bogus rumor believable. LOL.

Assuming it's translated....the translated version still would hardly equate a Filipino language version without changing much of the English version the way it was delivered. LOL.

I was surfing in the internet a while ago about weddings and I found this: lol

(This joke was found on the Internet and has circulated and been forwarded many times over via email. Foreigners planning to marry Filipinos should note that these are exaggerations, but they will somehow get the idea. It was written by an American man who loves his Filipina wife despite what follows.)

Some of it are funny and I think maybe the guy was just exaggerating but I also think it might be true.. who knows. (to each their own) lol
I just want to hear your opinions from you guys after reading the content of these pages.especially from those who are already married. Feel free to add something/ anything especially about weddings and marriage. Thanks.

This pus.sy Martin tried to be smart with me by posting this...

oh, Jack H. would i love to have a private discussion with you. ever dated a filipina? ever traveled to the philippines? speak any tagalog at all? know anything about the culture or the country at all? have any idea what manny does in his private life? think anything he does over there is ever reported by anyone? know who that old dude in the suits who's always in the ring with him is? ever traveled to asia? ever dated a japanese girl? ever been to japan? ever boxed? know anything about politics? you are more naive than paris hilton.

And this was my reply...

@Martin: Actually, I am a Filipino. From Mandaluyong. And I have met Manny Pacquiao twice when he was still a struggling boxer more than a decade ago. We spoke briefly at the 'lugawan' in front of Mandaluyong City Hall Gym (Now is a Jollibee restaurant) where he used to train. He struck me as a very personable young fellow (I am 8 years older than him), a very cocky boxer back then but outside the ring, very amiable. If I sounded biased, it's probably because of this impression I have of him.

I wonder what he has to say about that? LOL

And Martin you asked.."speak any tagalog at all?"

Yes I do. And in the spirit of my country's anniversary of independence being celebrated today, let me say..

"WAG MO NANG SUBUKAN SIRAIN ANG DANGAL NG MGA PILIPINO. ISANG BALA KA LANG PUTANGINA KA!!!!"

I know that the main language in the Philippines is tagalog and is widely taught around but shouldnt tagalog speaking pinoys learn other dialects like visaya?
Most visayas and other different dialect speaking pinoys can speak tagalog fluently but tagalog speaking pinoys can't speak other dialects.Almost 2/3 of people in the Philippines can speak up to 2 dialects or 3 even.
Aren't the tagalog speak pinoys are at disadvantage?

P.s Im a pinoy too,alam ko mg tagalog lol

so my cousin errin married a woman he met from while in the phillipines (he is living in the
phillipines now so his new baby girl (mi third cousin yay) will be able to also know her

"Right now I'm at home watching tv, lol. Were are you jess?"

i want to learn tagalog, whats the best way to learn? i live in U.S
if i study in the philippines for one year
will that make me speak the lang.?
Inday: I GOT NO PINOY FRIENDS
theyre all NON-Filipino LOL

I am only half-filipino,born in California and raised in Mississippi..lol.. but that does not mean that I do not want to get in touch with my Filipino side. I speak english, and i took 4 years of Spanish (but forgot all the words... lol). I am going to visit the P.I. for the first time next year, so i want to learn some Tagalog. Not just to learn tagalog for my visit, but i will keep trying to learn it after, too. i am dedicated to become fluent in it.. is there anyway suggestions?
yea, i am going in feb. march. or april.. lol

I'm fluent in Tagalog; however, I am also interested in other Filipino dialects. Which one would be the most practical and useful to learn next to Tagalog?
Not my usual Q's, but I'm dead serious about this and I'm up for the task. lol =)
@ Denixce P. Vanity
Yes there are. Though a suggestion would've sufficed =)
@ Bondying:
Nicoleta, is that you?
or GRO? lol
