Funny, the first time i travelled to Africa and the first question Africaans will asked is "Where you from?", and I proudly says " I am from Philippines!". They pronounced it as philippians (pi-li-pians) , and i will correct them repeatedly. Hard for them to pronounce but no matter how they call it, word does'nt matter as "Philippines" can be describe more than a words.
This place I called home, my country and my resting place.
