Answer 3 :
5. Yes, i have actually seen it.. then i ate it.. it's actually found in this place called "palengke". hehe 9. I think Rizal said.. "ah".. 14. My city is the best city in the Philippines. :) (not manila) 15. I don't think that there is war going on in mindanao, just terrorists who consider killing for a living.. 21. because Philippines is part of ASIA.. obviously.. and we are a mixed race and we don't look like hawaiians,micronesians or something like that.. The term "pacific islander" is just a little bit catchy.. 22. -karaoke, medical incubator, yoyo, JEEPNEY, adobo.. there r just too many.. 25. hm, meron, teka, punta lang ako sa wi-fi area.. ayun, 'holdap to, bigay mo sakin laptop! dali!.. o eto oh.. half-price nlng, slightly used..

Answer 4 :
1) The Philippines was formed from the Gondwanaland region of Pangaea. The Philippine Plate was part of Gondwanaland - the islands were formed from thousands of huge seabed volcanic eruptions. 2) Stegodonts and Mammoths have been found in Cagayan Valley. Otherwise, only primates such as monkeys were found throughout the islands, as well as the more usual mammals. 3) It was found in Tabon Cave in Palawan. 4) As a whole, Metropolitan Manila was split between the Kingdoms of Tundok (northern bank of Pasig), of Namayan (interior), and of Maynila (southern bank of Pasig). Pasig was called as "Pasir" before. 5) The corpse of Lapu-Lapu has never been found. 6) No one really knows. Technically, it is free because all the materials come from the ground. If any, it's just a three year salary of Spanish soldiers. 7) Again, no one really knows. The harshest punishment according to Maragtas and Kalantiaw was amputation of the fingers in stealing, BUT Maragtas and Kalantiaw are just fake documents and are just a hoax. 8) Because throughout the whole world, all dark-skinned people have always seen light-skinned people as being closer to the Divine (which is attributed to the sky being relatively white). 9) Just a grunt to turn himself to the rays of the morning sun. 10) One week, with daytime travel. Probably less so if continuous day and night travel. 11) The purpose of Martial Law was to keep militants and communists at bay. It helped discipline the Filipinos, who were being unruly then, but it also helped propagate corruptio and abuses by the military and by Marcos. 12) One-third of the Philippine population perished due to the war. 13) Yes, except for the IUD, because IUD can induce abortion without the mother knowing it (it can prevent the implantation of the fertilized egg, which will be disposed of the body with the menstrual fluid). 14) Quezon City: Lungsod ng mga Bituin! 15) To gain independence from the Philippines. I believe it won't stop until Mindanao finally gets independence from the Philippines, or unless Jemaah Islamiya finally establishes their goal of uniting the entire Southeast Asian region under Muslim rule. 16), 10% of the Philippine GNP is buoyed by the remittances of OFW. 17) Rosina Storchio 18) No Filipino soldier would dare do that - at least not in our puppet government under the US now. 19) It maintains permanent military presence in the largest island in the Spratlys. No, the Philippines has no claim over Spratlys actually - it historically belonged to China for as long as 13th century AD. It was just claimed by the Philippines as a booty because Japan (which forcibly got it from China) was occupied by America after the end of WW2. The Philippines should instead go after Guam, Marianas Islands, Palau, Palmas Islands, and Sabah, which are all historically Philippine territories but seized by the US, Malaysia, and Netherlands. 20) Roman Kintanar, Edwin Aguirre, Imelda Joson 21) It depends. Some Filipinos feel more comfortable with the term Asian; others with the term Pacific Islander; others with the term Hispanic. It just depends on their cultural orientation. People from Luzon are OK with Asian; those from the Visayas and Mindanao are OK with either Asian or Pacific Islander. Those from the cities sometimes like Hispanic. (But yeah, Filipinos really look way more Micronesian than Asian - anybody who has been to Guam will agree with that statement. After all, Micronesians came from the Philippines). 22) Moon buggy, the drug erythromycin, karaoke, neonate incubator, videophone, graphical user accelerator chip, jeepney, cement, safety switch box, swivel dental chair, fountain pen, banana ketchup, videophone, digital thermometer, and many more others. 23) Gloria Diaz, Margarita Moran, Aurora Pijuan, Precious Lara Quigaman. 24) Ayala House Tower (1960), then Insular Life Building (1960) 25) St. Francis Square and Greenhills Shopping Center.
Answer 5 :
FREQUENTLY asked Qs??? how come i've seen most of those Qs for the first time here at YAP??? this reminds me of school exams. anyways, i do know some of the answers but others i have to look up. unlike some people who have dates and names and events in their brain bank and can answer such Qs w/out citing any sources. does it mean some are more filipinos than others because they can answer all your 25Qs??? 25Qs and you only "paid" 5 pts. thats a bargain!

I live in iceland , and flying to florida , or new york ( we havent discussed this more ) then she'll pick me up. and i'll be flying with my laptop , and as i said , alone. Any tips ? i would like to have my laptop with me the whole flight as in hand luggage. I've traveled with my grandma with my laptop once before (Iceland-Spain) It's just sooo frustrating , i cant seem to get myself to put my laptop in the luggage that goes into the plane ( like i've seen on several sites about traveling alone ) crap , crap , crap..... and im VERY shy , so which seat should i ask for in the airplane ? as in the closest to the window , middle , or the one of the side?

Answer 1 :
Welcome to the USA. Almost everyone takes a laptop on board in their carry-on luggage, as no one trusts it will arrive safely in the checked baggage.You can only use it when they say it is ok, though, and planes with a wireless internet signal are rare (and the signal is expensive to rent). I ALWAYS carry my laptop on board in my brief case. I would say get a window seat, as it might be fin to look out at times. In terms of being shy, you can talk to others as much or as little as you want. If you don't feel like talking, and your seat mate addresses you, just give extremely short answers which sends the signal you don't want to talk. If they persist, act like you are going to sleep or wear ear buds (even if you are not listening to music). If you are changing planes in a connecting city, everything is marked very well. Just don't book a connection of less than about an hour to give yourself plenty of time (unless it is a very small airport)
