Chuckles — Yes I Am Filipino (Part 2)

I am frequently mistaken to be a Singaporean. One even went as far as to say that he thought I was Eurasian, and, I suppose with my mixture of Chinese, Filipino and Spanish blood, it was understandable.

Other Filipinos think I’m Singaporean too, until I tell them otherwise, a fact that is befuddling to me.

So, it was with great pleasure when our new Singaporean cleaning lady met me, and, after chatting for a bit, asked, “Filipina?”

I exclaimed happily, “Yes! How did you know?”

“You sound Filipina.”

At least there’s something unmistakably Filipino about me, even if it’s not obvious until I speak.
