when i was in japan, sam showed us videos of japanese traditions. the videos are funny. now, 6251 kilometers away from manila, i am watching videos of filipino traditions.
the day before we left for sydney, ate belle delivered the dvds she promised as going away gifts. the dvds contain glimpses of how filipinos live everyday. it is a flemish production, a funny take on philippine culture, which makes my heart burst --- i am proud to be pinoy! we can converse in english very well, have superb and distinctly pinoy humor, and ah courageously face each difficult situation with happiness. and oh, i personally saw the candyman featured in the production! [i was starstruck!]
you should watch "Radio Filipinas". it is distributed by 11.11.11 - Pilipinas. [22 Matiyaga St., Brgy. Central, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines with numbers (02)4344931 and (02)4261579]. if you have family or friends abroad, this DVD pair would make a great gift.
"Filipinos love noise... a sign of dynamism, of fiesta, of movement, of lives being lived."
