be honest: did you become aware of the country 'philippines' because of pacquiao?

[Evol]

Obviously I've heard about the Philipines before I watched PAC but knew nothing about their culture before I started watching PAC. It was when I was 14.

And people learned about the Philipines in school? Lol I bet most non Filipinos couldn't even find the country on a map or spell the name correctly

yes, we learn in school where philipines is located. aint nobody said we have to know their culture, know how to spell it correctly, etc.

[_original_]

Americans believe Europe is a country and Canada is a state...and Philippines is Chinese food!

Wait.....so it's not?

[Twako]

OP didn't go to school?

[PAC-BOY]

Wait.....so it's not?

It is, don't listen to him. Europe is a country, and its official language is European.

even if you didn't go to school, or didn't learn it there but if you are in a boxing forum, and you follow the sport you must have heard of "Thrilla in Manila"

It is, don't listen to him. Europe is a country, and its official language is European.

It's not a country dumbass... it's a city in Russia...

I used to have a mate from there, He loved Manny, as you'd expect. . . But was well aware of the Pilippines before then anyway.
