ha ha ha ha, yeah mate, blame the hot blooded, emotional, and greedy Spanish, remember the Spanish Main?.....however they may know where America is, because they sent Columbus there, and they obviously know Phil, BUT, they would have absolutely no idea where Australia is, ha ha ha ha ha:D......so I am home free:p hmmmmmm....are there any Spanish expats here ?o_O

 

Roger, nor quite sure how to tell you this But.......... Columbus was Portuguese. That's why Brazil speaks Portuguese and the rest Speak Spanish. :oops: Oops Sorry!

True, but, I never said he was Spanish, I said "they" , meaning the Spanish, sent him there........put your eye glass back in mate, ha ha ha ha ha:p AND, he would have been welcome to Kiwi land, once he found the sheep there were so friendly, he never would have left.............lol:D Oh, and if you do not understand the sheep thing, ask a Kiwi, ha ha ha ha ha

Look matey, I am not really interested in your sexual preferences, if that rattles your cage, go for it, ha ha ha ha ha:D

 

I think Wrye is correct in his thinking. The current government was influenced by some Spanish blood.

“I would rather have a country run like hell by Filipinos than a country run like heaven by the Americans, because however bad a Filipino government might be, it can always be improved.”Quote credited to Manuel Quezon. It has been speculated the Manuel Quezon had the talent and skills of Nostradamus and may actually be very happy now as soon as the government starts improving itself.
However Manuel Quezon is not even 100% Filipino, he has Spanish blood. That is why he was fluent in speaking Spanish then in the 1920's and 30's. Since Manuel Quezon is not full Filipino there is no reason to accept the problems of the Philippines as Filipino.
The Filipinos can BLAME SPAIN......then blame it on the RAIN...!!!!... Today the typical approach would be: it’s got to be somebody else's fault...NOT MINE… or the standard approach of coarse of just denying there is a problem. So everything good about the country could be considered Filipino , and everything bad of coarse could be blamed on someone else.

I have been told that every counties that Spain had colonized has a big problem with brides. It is speculated that Spain did not pay their civil servants well so each one be used their entrepreneurial skills to develop their own income stream.... maybe just another rumor. .

The Philippines had a chance to be a part of the US or a territory (like Puerto Rico), but decided to be independent.
