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.
