It was the first day of school in The teacher began, "Let's review some American history, class. Who said 'Give me liberty or give me death?' "She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Dagohoy's who had his hand up,"Patrick Henry, 1775." "Very good," said the teacher. "Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth'"? Again, no response except from Dagohoy: "Abraham Lincoln, The teacher snaps at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed, Dagohoy who is new to our country knows more about our history than you do." She hears a loud whisper from the back: "Screw the Filipinos." "Who said that?" she demanded. Dagohoy put his hand up. "General John Pershing, At that point, Jack, another student says, "I'm going to puke." The teacher glares and asks, "All right! Now who said that?" Again Dagohoy answers, "George Bush, Sr. to the Japanese Prime Minister during the state dinner, "Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!!" Dagohoy jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher at the top of his voice, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, the Oval Office, 1997!! "Someone shouts, "You little shit if you say anything else, I'll kill you." Dagohoy yells, "Congressman Gary Condit to Chandra Levy,
The teacher faints. "I'm outta here!" mutters one student as he slides to the door. "President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo,
Dagohoy responds.As the class gathers around her on the floor, someone says, "Oh shit, now we're really in big trouble!" "Saddam Hussein, on the Dagohoy bellowed."Now, I really have to run," Jack mutters, heading for the exit, "Gloria Macapagal Arroyo again, Pampanga, October 4, 2003!!!" Dagohoy shouts triumphantly jumping with glee.Then a burly African-American boy grabbed Dagohoy and strangled him, about to give a fistful to a frightened Dagohoy. Then an Asian boy stood up and shouted, "Hey easy on him. I'M A FILIPINO!" Dagohoy then blurted out before he got socked out, "Fernando Poe, Jr. Rock and Roll All Night in Makati - The Jerks, Wally Gonzalez Band and more....

May 26, 2007 FILIPINO SIGNS OF WIT
by Nury Vittachi - THE FAR EASTERN ECONOMIC REVIEW
This week, we shall take a "reading tour" of one of the most spirited communities in Asia . The Philippines is full of word play. The local accent among many Filipinos, in which English words with "F" are spelled and pronounced with the sound of "P" and V is pronounced as "B" (because the Philippine alphabet has no letters F or V), is often used very cleverly, such as, the sign in a flower shop in Diliman called Petal Attraction.
Much of the word play in the Philippines is deliberate with retailers and various businesses favouring a play on names of Western establishments and celebrities (Americans, in particular-- -movie stars and entertainment personalities, especially). For example, there is a 24-hour restaurant called Doris Day and Night, a garment shop called Elizabeth Tailoring, and a barber shop called Felix The Cut. Reader Robert Harland also spotted a bakery named Bread Pitt, and a Makati fast-food place selling "maruya" (banana fritters) called Maruya Carey. Then, there are Christopher Plumbing, and a boutique called The Way We Wear ;a video rental shop called Leon King Video Rental; a restaurant in the Cainta district of Rizal called Caintacky Fried Chicken, a local burger restaurant called Mang Donald's, a doughnut shop called MacDonuts, a shop selling "lumpia" (egg roll) in Makati called Wrap and Roll, and two butcher shops called Meating Place and Meatropolis. Smart travellers can decipher what may look like baffling signs to unaccustomed foreigners by simply sounding out the "Taglish" (the Philippine version of English words spelled and pronounced with a heavy Filipino accent), such as, at a restaurant menu in Cebu : "We hab sopdrink in can an in batol" [translation: We have soft drinks in can and in bottle]. Then, there is a sewing accessories shop called Bids And Pises [translation: Beads and Pieces --or-- Bits and Pieces]. There are also many signs with either badly chosen or misspelled words, but they are usually so entertaining that it would be a mistake to "correct" them. A reader named Antonio "Tonyboy" Ramon T. Ongsiako, (now there's a truly Filipino name), contributed the following interesting Philippine signs and advertisements: In a restaurant in Baguio City (the "summer capital" of the Philippines: "Wanted: Boy Waitress" on a highway in Pampanga: "We Make Modern Antique Furniture"
on the window of a photography shop in Cabanatuan: "We Shoot You While You Wait"
and on the glass front of a cafe in Panay Avenue in Manila : "Wanted: Waiter, Cashier, Washier."
Some of the notices can even give a wrong impression, such as, a shoe store in Pangasinan which has a sign saying: "We Sell Imported Robber Shoes" (these could be the "sneakiest" sneakers); and a rental property sign in Jaro, Iloilo reads: "House For Rent, Fully Furnaced" (it must really be hot inside)!
Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly unique--if not altogether odd. Reader Gunilla Edlund submitted a sign that she saw at the ticket booth in the ferry pier in Davao City in Southern Philippines, which said: "Adults: 1 peso; Child: 50 centavos; Cadavers: fare subject to negotiation. "
European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing shops selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland Hopia, which are owned and operated by two local Chinese entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho and Mr. Po respectively- -(believe it or not)! According to Manila businessman, Tonyboy Ongsiako, there is so much wit in the Philippines because ". . . we are a country where a good sense of humour is needed to survive. We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of politicians and retiring actors!

Employers: Sign Up Today!
Employees and Prospects: Polish Your Resumes!
May we invite your good office to the biggest and most significant job fair of this year, the e-Job Expo 2007, organized by the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP), the country’s premier association of human practitioners and personnel managers.
The PMAP is a strictly professional, non-stock, not-for-profit organization of over 1,800 member companies and individual management executives engaged or interested in human resource management (HRM) and industrial relations (IR) work.
Thus, perhaps more than any other organization in the Philippines, the PMAP is the best equipped to organize a job fair, for our member associations and companies would be the first to participate and sign up for their recruitment efforts for qualified candidates.
We are expecting a crowd of 12,000-15,000 who would be the first to benefit, as they would have first crack at the thousands of job openings that will be posted during this event. They would also be the first to enjoy the advantages of the state-of-the-art Career Card, which encodes their resume in a stored job database and enables them to apply in similar job fairs in the future without having to reprint their resumes. The Career Card is a benchmark in the recruitment industry because it saves jobseekers transportation, printing, and postage costs.
More than that, in eliminating the need for a printed form, which in turn reduces the chances of preferential treatment of those who have crisper paper over those who could not afford them, the career card effectively levels the playing field for all applicants, rich and poor alike.
JobsDB Philippines, Inc., the leading Internet recruitment network in Asia, will provide special assistance by bringing in this paperless job fair system via the Career Card.
Objectives:
- To promote and provide employment and/or enhance the careers of the participating jobseekers/ employees, thereby addressing the current issues of employment
- To promote fair, sound practice in recruitment and employment through a cutting-edge technology-driven medium
- To make the jobseeker aware of his self-worth through learning sessions and workshops that build his self-confidence and highlight his potentials and achievements while opening up to him diverse career opportunities and other areas for self-development
Projected Number of Participants:
- College students graduating this October
- Unemployed skill professionals
- Unemployed former OFWs who came back home
- Career-shifters
- Professionals who are still struggling with their careers, feel lost, and need a sense of direction
- Managers and executives who are still open to better opportunities
Exhibitors’ Profile:
· Private sector companies
· Multinational companies
· Government agencies
· Higher learning institutions
· Technical/vocational schools
· Universities and colleges
· Recruitment agencies
Jobseeker Profile:
The estimated thousands of jobseekers who will come to the PMAP Job Fair come from all parts of the employment sector:
- Executives
- Seasoned supervisors and veteran skilled workers
- New graduates
- Technical/vocational workers from the blue-collar industries
- Almost all industries represented by jobseekers (e.g. I.T., manufacturing, call centers, banking and finance, etc.)
We enjoin you to participate in this event as a corporate exhibitor/sponsor/event partner as it would bring your good company significant exposure to a very broad market that captures all your target audience from classes A-D. It will also promote your products and services to industry leaders and associations.
The E-Job Expo 2007 will take place on May 31-June 1 at the World Trade Center.
