Hi Betelnut, I'm pretty sure it's not you :-) I also think that Filipinos DO tend to "mythicize" a lot of things. I think its our way of spicing up our otherwise unremarkable history as a nation/people. (Unremarkable compared to the history of nations with great civilizations, that is.) I think changing stereotypes can be achieved in various ways and that we should definitely not impose the

I think I'm dropping the artista-to-remove-stereotypes thingy. I remember Apocalypto. Many of my mexican OL friends are complaining about the wrong stereotype and depiction of the MayasMost of the cast are native Americans/Mexicans...

Is it just me or Filipinos love "mythicizing" things?Years ago some Filipinos claimed that Davao is the biggest city in the world if we include its forests(kahit hindi naman), ngayon, nagkaprinsesa na ang mga Igorot. Mini-monarchy?Tapos sabi nila ancient Filipinos built the Banaue rice terraces... ancient pala mga Ifugaos? It gives a wrong impression. Parang sinabi yung mga Pilipinong nasakop ng

Hi Nats,I was also surprised why these mayor are protesting and its because of their IRA pala. Pero sa totoo lang mas qualified pa nga ang Tabuk na maging city kumpara sa maraming existing cities ngayon, no.

About this mayor's who are against the cityhood of this 11 municipalities..How could they be so selfished that they do not want other municipalities to progress. Why are they so concerned with their IRA, mababawasan pala kasi yung makurakot nila cguro..

Hindi yata mahilig mag-blog ang twin sister mo. two posts lang tapos wala na sya. ;-) About the Baguio teacher heading to Cambodia, things are improving yata sa Cambodia. There's a Pinay blogger there whose blog I read everyday. She is a funny Pinay.
