"Why cruise ships skip manila!"

[CVT]

I once went on an Asian cruise on Star Cruises. I talked to a crew member who turned out to be Indonesian. Tinagalog ko, thinking she was Pinoy. Aba, sinagot din ako in Tagalog. She told me that many Asians on their ship, Star Virgo yata yun, can actually speak Tagalog and that they use it as the common language among themselves, lalo na pag pinag-uusapan nila ang mga puti. She said that Tagalog is one of the easiest languages to learn and that the Thais, Malaysians and Indonesians have adopted it as their 3rd language after English on board the ship. It was such a heartwarming thing to find out.

Many years ago, I was assigned in Indonesia for a few months, and I was pleasantly surprised that some of my staff are "conversing with the locals" in just a matter of days... They told me that if you know ilocano or visayan dialect, then Bahasa is already a breeze because of some common words or phrases... Satu, duwa....
