Ohhhh, Slang, Slang. You were there all that time and never really saw. They are only polite to people they need and people they fear. And their brand of Catholicism is so full of superstition and threats that you would not recognize it as the same religion. Mexico, in fact, sends their pedophile priests to the Philippines to get them out of sight.
In her daily google for immigration info, Luisa turned up this analysis of the Phils. by a Canadian. Please read it. It is so true.
http://www.ashleybristowe.com/weblog...de9d31ace.aspx It'll take a while to get to the hard facts about the place, because the girl begins by talking about trying to find a nanny and how it brought back all her memories of living and working in the Philippines.
Oh, BTW, Luisa has told me that there is actually a minor political movement there which wants to persuade the US to annex the Philippines again. They see it as the perfect solution to all their problems; we should come in and rebuild all the roads, schools, military bases, and public facilities, fix the water and power systems, and put everbody on welfare. Happiness ever after.
