A warm Sunday Morning here, 8:15 am … Happy Birthday, Philippine Republic, for many of you reading this it is still 12 June, Philippine Independence Day.

I’m busy with some family things today and don’t have much time to write, but I came across something, over coffee; that helps explain a lot of what I was trying to convey in my last post, about angry, often toxically impatient, people.

If there is one common complaint thread among all the many different expats, balikbayans and other foreigners and Filipinos I have dealt with over the past 10 or 12 years, it easily boils down to this … after they are in the Philippines and begin living life in ‘real time” here, even the Filipinos among them start making statements like … “they” don’t plan, “they” don’t think ahead and “they” have no sense of time.  After all, even to Filipinos, “Filipino Time” is a national treasure/affliction/joke (Pick one).  As if a whole country just can’t tell time … or doesn’t give a care ….

I also tend to wrote long and wordy which I am sure puts a lot of you, who have little time, off a bit.  You stand in front of the microwave, tapping your foot and mumbling, “Ding already, damn it, I don’t have all minute!”

So here’s your Sunday comics … perhaps a message is contained within …  (Hint 1:  The Philippines is pretty close to the equator)  (Hint 2:  As you watch, try substituting the Philippines with the speakers country of Sicily in your mind, just for argument’s sake)
