Anyone saw the documentary on CNA "Get Real" episode title "Play and Partee"?

It was about pinoys meeting up for drugs and sex orgies, usually without condoms.
Another segment of the programme was about casual sex in the workplace, specifically at call centres.
The next time a pinoy from a call centre calls u, try not to laugh. :biggrin:

Was told by a friend who recently visited Pinoyland that it was hard to find condoms even in the 7-11s there.

Thanks for the welcome but it's very late in this timezone. Tired. Chat with you guys other days.

wah ah ram where did you go? Which rural country did you visit this time? Somewhere in south america? How many gals did you bang? How many wild dogs and animals did you kill? How many huge burly men did you beat up?

They have a higher percentage of Chinese there than Singapore's Malays or Indians. So why is Singapore recognising the minorities by allowing public holidays? It is time for Philippines not to deny their citizens the right to celebrate a day that is important to them.

Celebrating CNY as holiday is meaningless. The calendar has already been standardized to Gregorian centuries ago.
