Are there any pinoys who can tell me if this is true?

how do you get "queena" from the spelling of quaio. are you ******ed? illiterate?

I think in 1st grade it was funny to laugh at names like **** butkus, or jack mehoffer. over 20 years later we have people claiming to be grown ass men saying **** like "poochiao" "packqueena".

Am i ******ed/illiterate?..No, obviously not. My friend mentioned that the "quiao" is pronounced differently ("queena")..hence why i asked if its actually pronounced "pak-queena". Dont get too upset shogunn, i was making out your favourite fighter ever was a "queen".

who cares? "donaire" is always pronounced incorrectly let alone a more complicated "pacquiao."

I care. Hows "donaire" actually pronounced? (don-air?)

Youre not illiterate so youre friend is? or youre both ******ed? have you ever seen a "pacquaio" fight live? because the announcers pronounce his name correctly 100 out of 100 times. This leads me to believe that A) youre illiterate and you cant read, or B) youve never seen a Manny fight or C) youve watched a manny fight and had the volume turned down the entire time.

Which is it? illiterate? ******ed? deaf?
