^hehe. i guess the spanish are too lazy and such pussies. americans at least did it. you heard about them taking igorots in saint louis world expo in 1904 i think?

I heard something about it but I'm not detailed. Tell me.

the american wanted to show off their prized possession in the east. so in saint louis world fair in oh four, they gathered many tribesmen from all over. and they set up booths so they could be show as exhibits, i know it's sound shallow and sad but people were like taht before. they set up houses inside the booth and those exhibits did like as they would in everyday life, eat sleep and do whatever in front of people all around who wanted to see. anyways the most the fascinated them were the igorots. especially they're the ones who were the most "wildest". the anyway the igorot exhibit was the most one that got alot of viewers everyday.

we all know that igorots eat dogs like cows or pigs. however they ran out of food. so people started donating dogs to igorots. because they felt sorry for them. they were actually pretty nice, in one quote i found it said that they thought that it would be hard for them if they were in their shoes and they couldn't eat what they usually eat in a foreign place. so they gathered stray dogs and others gave or sold their dogs to feed the igorots. that part of town became dog town i think. even today i read that it is still called dogtown.

They used real people?! I thought it was like statues or models only..

As far as I know, dogs are pigs are only eaten during rituals, events...

i don't know taht's what i've read. but yes real people. type dogtown in your search. you migh find it.

BICOL BEBEBEBEBE!!!!

^hehehe. i grew up with bicolanos. my great grandpa's second wife, i still consider her lola cuz she's my grandma's stepmother and grew her up pretty much.

I barely know bicolanos. I have a classmate who is, but she grew up here in Baguio. Glad to know there are Bicolanos here.

i have bikolano friend we jokingly call him boy ita because hes really dark skinned and has curly hair.

^i have an uncle who's nickname was inchik. a friend nicknamed hapon. a boy i knew called american boy. another boy named negneg. a girl called bombay.

Whattanames! LOL. Filipino specialty - names and nicknames!!

and yeah my dad's friend before was nicknamed bisaya.

Cool i thought it was spelled intsik. Oh well my family and close friends just call me toto or RL ( for the first letter of my names). One time my friend came over and my little cousin yelled out " HI TOTO". He was laughing his head off WTF ???"toto" your not flip afterall you mexican.

hehehe. i know filipinos have nicknames for everyone. my japanese cousin we call her aiko san, and my half mexican one rico suave.

2 what do they think of thier nicks?

Huh? I don't get it What's with being flip and mexican?!!

i don't care it's fun. we kinda grow up on it. we call the twins kambal. i remmber one short guy use to be called nono, from nuno sa punso.

Me niether his rection to it was just funny, i guess to an ignorant canadian it "sounded" mexican

In the PI people some times call you just they way they see you, negro, taba, etc. And people don't seem to mind. If that were to happen in the states though there would be a lot of angry people. 2

Damn little kids

2 Some one didn't get offended did they?

Of course I get offended, but like you say... that's how it is there... what can I do, make them change their way of life?... maybe...

fu-k when i was in training. i was the toughest no nonesense of all them bastards cuz i couldn't feel anything about all the words you know. i grew up in that in my culture, being called all sorts of name. but it's all in the name of fun and lighehertedness.

my drill sergeant use to tell all kinds of $hit right in our face, how we're so stupid. i was like a zombie, just stared blankly like wind is passing by.

Name calling is prevalent...you could actually go on until you piss each other off...

Well you could always just kill them. Na, that would just be wrong.

Like you said before they don’t mean any harm by it, so maybe if you told them you don’t like it they would stop. And if they don’t, well you are kind of like the Godfather of Mindoro so I’m sure you can find another way to handle it.

Pinoys are used to nicknames, probably that's why. Hehe..
SOme even have nickname and REAL names like "Honey [name here], Cherry [name here]" and so on and so forth.

i like nicknames that describe them like native american.

if filipinos go by that we'd have names like tabang baboy. magnanakaw na unggoy. baklang aso. etc

hahaha that would be a hoot! but mostly in the province, people are known by their nicks... like si Iskong Ugong or si Carpiong Duling...

i remember using tabatchoy, or just batchoy, that when i found out that a good soup called La Paz Batchoy, i started laughing

I remember when I was in Prep, there's this kid who always called me "intsik". I didn't know that intsik was Chinese. I thought he was trying to call me "insect". LOL
