hey mylotters. [em] thumbup [em/] good day!Ü I have been here for a week now and i have been encountering friends from different parts of the world. I'm curious what it's like from where you live! could you share some advantage and disadvantage of your country? And how bout adding up some "national" stuff to your responses. That would be great! thanks and hope you enjoyed this discussion.ÜAnd for the Filipinos, you could add something besides the thing i wrote.Ü In the Philippines, WE have so many beautiful places here like BORACAY, PUERTO GALERA, BAGUIO, TAGAYTAY, PALAWAN, BOHOL, etc. So here are the National Symbols: National anthem: "Lupang Hinirang" National Bird:"Maya" or the Philippine Monkey-Eating Eagle (it kinda confuses me) National flower: Sampaguita. National Tree: Narra National Leaf: Fan Palm or "Anahaw" National Fruit: Mango National Animal: Carabao National Fish: Milkfish or "Bangus" National Dance: "Tinikling" National Dish: "Lechon" or Roasted pig and last but not the least our national motto: For the Love of God, People, Nature and Country!Ü Hope too learn from your countries too! ;)

hi, i am also from the Philippines...i am a neighbor of our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal...i am from Calamba. but now i am here staying on Cebu...which they say the Queen City of the South and of course using Cebuano as a dialect! here in our country we have so many dialects that are being use depends on our province...but our national language is Filipino... mmmm, i hope you don't mind but i think our national dance now is no longer tinikling but Carinosa instead...if you still remember, it was changed way back... there's so many beautiful places here in our place where every Filipino and even people from other country may enjoy...and of course our people are also friendly and hospitable! have a nice day my friend!

mmm i think so, i am not really familiar with this dance , i am more familiar with tinikling which for me i think should have not changed to be our national dance... i think tinikling is more Filipino than Carinosa...

Thanks dpk!Ü I think India is a nice country. Our President has the same gender.Ü As for our dialect, i've researched that we have 170 languages here but only two are considered to be the major language. The Filipinos are also known to be kind and hospitable to others.Ü
