We can’t claim this one as a Pinoy. Not Zachary Quinto, Mr. Spock.
According to a Gallup survey, Singaporeans are “the least likely in the world to report experiencing emotions of any kind on a daily basis. The 36% who report feeling either positive or negative emotions is the lowest in the world. Filipinos, on the other hand, are the most emotional, with six in 10 saying they experience a lot of these feelings daily.”
Survey says…Filipinos are the most emotional people on earth. We’re inclined to agree, but those are their metrics? Who’s their control group, Vulcans?
Are there so many telenovelas because Filipinos are melodramatic, or are Filipinos melodramatic because there are so many telenovelas? The substitute national anthem could be “Feelings” (woe woe woe feeeelings) as sung by a former first lady.

For alerts, tipoffs and invitations, email saffron.safin@gmail.com. Yes, we accept invitations for talks and workshops, but only on subjects we actually know something about. We can’t discuss trends in social media because we’re not in the social media—this blog’s facebook page is maintained by our brilliant publicist friend. We can’t discuss lambing; do check out stuff we’ve written to see what we’re qualified to talk about, i.e. reading, writing, movies especially terrible ones, cats, loafing, and nerdiness. There is a fee, which varies; if you’re a school we’ll waive it, if you charge participants admission we charge too, and if you’re a corporation, pay up.
The Fairfax bag, in ketchup.
Kipling, the Belgian bag brand, and World Vision have launched “A Brighter Christmas for A Brighter Tomorrow,” a program to raise funds for the education of children under the care of the advocacy group.
For every bag or piece of luggage purchased at Kipling stores in the Philippines from December 1 to 31, 2012, Kipling will donate Php500 to World Vision. (Up to 22 percent of the cost of the item, which is pretty generous.)
