Im sorry if this is posted somewhere, especially by fellow "kababayan"(country men) Jaypee and Pau...

But the girl who greeted the Amazing Race contestants when they went to the Phils., was the daugther of our current president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo! I read it in a newspaper and just though to share it here...

Yes, I did know Duke. Grin

But I was rather disappointed at Luli (The President's Daughter), because she seems childlike in her size, and standing beside Phil didn't help. Roll Eyes

I just hoped they could have picked a beauty queen (we have tons of them).

Eherm, I think that's the average "male" Filipino height is way more than Luli's. The average female Filipinos are not "way" taller than her I think. Grin

But then again Filipino = male, and Filipina = female. So your statement can be correct. Cheesy

Ok, this is going to sound really stupid and all but,

how come the word Phillipines begins with a Ph, but the word Filipino begins with an F?

Oh and how tall are you, Jaypee? Cheesy

Not stupid at all. Wink

Hmmm... Philippines is the "English" word for our country. In the local language, Filipino, it's Pilipinas. In Spanish (Spain occupied our country for 300+ years), it's Filipinas (I think).

So, we call ourselves Filipino, after Filipinas.

If I am wrong, I am stupid. Never listened during History classes. Cheesy
