#2 The second, I believe. The Philippines keeps trying to be a banana republic.

#4 I believe it must be genetic. My wife had a Filipina as a supervisor in Germany. She told my wife she went to school with Imelda Marcos and Corazon Aquino, and was still good friends with both. She was also deeply involved with running black market goods in and out of the country. I'm quite sure she would have jumped at the chance to run a small country as well. Inside every Filipina is a dictator trying to get out. Just ask their GI ex-husbands.

#5 Ah the ancient American saying, If you want great sex - get a Filipina, If you want loyalty - Get a dog.
