As a Filipino, what are some of biggest misconceptions, false information you heard in our country?

Kahit ano. If about sa place mo or kasabihang filipino or anything about our country.

I'll start. Actually may dalawa ako.

  1. May mga taga north actually thought na ang Las Pinas City is part of Cavite. Like, hindi ba kayo nag Hekasi or Araling Panlipunan?

  2. Sabi ng mga High School friends ko dati. Hindi raw afford ng Philippines gumawa ng tall buildings like Petronas Tower at Taipei 101, tallest buildings at the time. Mahirap daw tayo.

It turns out kaya naman talaga pala. Problem is NAIA. Because of NAIA, restricted height ng buildings sa metro to 250 meters. May ilan daw pero hindi pa rin sila sobrang matangkad na makaaffect sa air traffic sa NAIA.

Naaawa ako sa nakabangga sa kotse ko

So ayun na nga, nabangga ng ebike yung kotse ko habang nakapark sa Alfamart. Namumutla yung matanda when it happened, then I recognized him, father sya nung kapitbahay namin. He is in his 70s na.

His son-in-law (or so I thought) offered to have my car repaired and he will shoulder all the cost. Muntik na ko pumayag till another neighbour told me na sinisigawan raw nung "son-in-law" yung matanda. Then I found out, kabit pala lang kasi yung anak ni tatay. Naawa ako, baka pag pinasagot ko dun sa lalaki, pagbuntungan ng galit yung matanda. I declined his offer, ako na lang magpaparepair.

Hay buhay. Ge lang, pera lang naman yan. 🥲

Edit: please, don't post it anywhere else. Thank you. 🫰🏻
