[SIZE=3]By David Letterman[/SIZE]
10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.

8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.

5. Secret Service staff won't respond to "psst... psst" or 'hoy....hoy...hoy...'
4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard .
3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.
2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".
AND THE NUMBER 1 REASON WHY THERE COULDN'T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS...

well, if this was really from David Letterman's how, then no doubt he's got a Filipino writer in his staff.

iba pag "presidente" ang gawing plot dito mas may dating... but this is actually all about ugali ng pinoy.
aywan ko lang kung nakikita nyo na ang mga balikbayan sa kanikanilang bayan yung mga... pakistanis, indians, to mention the few. nakakalula sa laki ang mga bagahi.. at dumudura pa sila kahit saan... at super anghit pa.
i mean, dala talaga yan ng up bringing or breeding which constitute education. of halos lahat ng nagaabroad na pinoy ay educado and why they tend to do those things mentioned above kasi chiefly due to dala nga ng pangangailangan.
when it comes to karaoki aywan ko kung tayo nga ang addict talaga dyan.
more on the truth din yung ugali ng pinoy na pasikat. but if you analyze it deeply it is more on telling people na "hoy pinoy ako at hindi basta basta as you thought we are" so ano yun? di ba maaring ikaw din mismo yun?
tanong nyo sa sarili nyo... hypocrisy aside dude.

Now now. No need to rag on other people's cultures. If they don't use deodorant because of their culture, then you you have to respect that.
The Pinoy penchant to impress is not to impress outsiders but to impress other Pinoys. Whether or not that's bad or ok depends on the circumstances. Personally, I'm fine with those oversized B-boxes. I tend to travel light myself, often with no check-ins. I'm not the kind to give gifts for every relative (although I'll slip em a few greenbacks and tell them to buy what they can with it). But, my wife is one of those who bring with her enough stuff to fill a van.
