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

I've actually been to the Philippines. My Dad was in the air force and we went there for a year and lived on a base there. I was really, really young. Still have pretty vivid memories, though. A damn volcano (Mount Pinatubo) erupted while I was there and we had to evacuate.

I used to do A-Side Meth as a young buck that how I learned of the Phillipines, these fools be walking through bullets.

As a child, there was a Filipino kid in my neighborhood who used to get in fights a lot. He was small but hit hard as fuck. His family moved away when he was 12 years old. I bet he would've been a good boxer.

Yes I have heard of the Philippines, but I never heard of the United Kingdom before Ricky Hatton.

I hope no one answers yes.

You'd have to be unbelievably uneducated and living in a trailer to not have heard of the place.

I heard about The Philippines back in 1996 when I had lunch with Floyd Mayweather in Atlanta. We went to what he called a Filipino restaurant and Floyd ordered cat meat fried rice with a side of dog tongue sushi teppanyaki.
