You Know You're A Filipino If...

You think a red light is merely a suggestion.

You think 60 tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful yard.

You've signed so many petitions to recall a politician that you can't remember the name of the incumbent.

You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the rivers.

Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.
I would rather have a Philippines run like hell by Filipinos than a Philippines run like heaven by the Americans Manuel L. Quezon
