Kapuso ka din pala. That's the third thing we've got in common. The other two are that we use Ubuntu and a Palm. Wow! Kapuso ka din pala. That’s the third thing we’ve got in common.

He only interviewed the Hanunuo-Mangyans from Oriental Mindoro, who have their own pre-Hispanic script and chant ambahan (their poetry). Three original scripts are still being used today, two are Mangyan. (Check out www.mangyan.org for more info) There are eight Mangyan tribes in Mindoro, the Hanunuo being the largest. When all the groups are together, they have to speak in Tagalog to understand each other. This shows how diverse the Mangyans, and the rest of us Filipinos, are. Aren't you proud of the richness and diversity of our cultural heritage?! Here's an ambahan found carved on a bamboo pole in the forest: You once were passing this way It's not long since you've been here Your footprints are still around. Instead of writing in Japanese Haiku, try this Philippine ambahan - seven syllables per line, any number of lines. It's more romantic than any graffiti!
