re: #195 FurryOldGuyJeans

I had to call a few days ago ComCast (Seattle area) cable for some customer service issue, and just offhandedly I found out the call center was in Manila. The rep spoke very good English, but I had noticed a bit of the Tagalog corruption of some syllables and enunciations.

What I want to know is who the hell named the place the Philippines? Mean thing to do to a people that don’t use the ‘F’ in their language.
