    this has just been e-mailed to me and i think it is worth to share it here in tsikot…
    dunno kung luma na ‘to or not. true or not. bahala na kayo guys


    A Filipino walks into a bank in
    New York City and asks for the loan officer.
    He tells the loan officer that he is going to the Philippines on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
    SS NISANTHA
    The bank officer tells him that the bank
    will need some form of security for the loan,
    so the Filipino hands over the keys
    and documents of new Ferrari parked
    on the street in front of the bank.
    He produces the title and everything checks out.
    The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

    The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Filipino
    for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

    An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
    underground garage and parks it there.

    Two weeks later, the Filipino returns,
    repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
    The loan officer says,
    "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
    and this transaction has worked out very nicely,
    but we are a little puzzled.
    While you were away,
    we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire.
    What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ?

    The Filipino replies:
    "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41
    and expect it to be there when I return'"

    Ah, the mind of the Filipino...

    Why doesn't he just park it at home?

    I read about this joke years before, but instead of a Filipino, I believe the protagonist then was Jewish.

    this is a very very very old joke, and the original clever guy was not filipino. i think there was not even a mention of nationality, just that the guy was a millionaire.

    Hehehe... that's the "Clever Filipino" (at least the one who altered this joke)... trying to take credit for a joke (how lame is that?).

    hindi gawain ng pinoy yan...

    Ang mga pinoy sa States meron sariling parking.

    Kasi ang mga pinoy sa States may malalaking bahay.

    So di po problema sa kanila ang parking.
