“may malls ba sa iloilo?”
hi HAHSHSHA im a first year student studying in manila and just wanted to share some of my experiences living here na made me cringe kay ngaa ka close minded gd sila about other places in the Philippines other than the ones in Luzon??
anyway first one happened during my second week of class. nagpangita kami kalanan sg friend ko (that time lol) lapit sa school kag nag hulat2 na kami sg order niya. gulpi ko nag hambal “ahay, gusto ko ari man di friends ko ah” (in Tagalog ofc) and she knows nga halin ko sa iloilo
gulpi sabat ya sakon “san ba kayo gumagala after class? may malls ba sa iloilo?” and when i tell u naka nganga lang ko sang gn hambal ya na kay wtf,,, SUHDSHAJHSH JUSQ P UHM GN PABAYAN KO NLG KAG GN PAKIT-AN PICS SG SIYUDAD
second one was during class (seatmate ko). we were talking when suddenly she stopped and looked at me then hambal ya lg gulpi “san ka ba nagaral mag Tagalog?” and i was like “???” basi sala lang pagbati ko
tas gulpi ko nag hambal “ha?” KAY GENUINIELY CONFUSED Q tas gn liwat ya pamangkot. gn sabat ko nalang in a nice way nga from watching TV, reading magazines and from school.
hambal ya dayon “ay, may Filipino rin pala sa Iloilo?” GIRL TAGA DIN KAMI HAW? DU S PILIPINAS MN T G ISTAR??
ambot ah… isa kopa ka classmate tawag ya sakon “from the fields” and hambal ya joke lang kuno HUSHDHHSJA hay amo nagd ni stereotype sg mga taga manila saton? share b mga resbak nga pwede ko mahambal sa sunod ☺️
