Congratulations Jollibee!

I could hardly believe it myself. But there it was on the news just a few hours ago, proof positive that the rumors that had all of internet-dom abuzz were true. A Jolibee store was caught on-camera in a Glee episode. Yes people, we can uncork the champagne now. The Pinoy has finally arrived. We are now worthy of being an unintended backdrop in an American music video. Yeba! The event almost rivals the importance of that one woman’s quest to stitch-up a world record setting biggest flag ever – a Philippine flag. Too bad those cows weren’t privy to the importance of the occasion and decided to come crashing the party. Perhaps it was the red field on our flag? Let’s petition congress to just drop that. We are not planning to go to war anytime soon anyway -- not with our AFP. What’s wrong with fuchsia? Alright, aside from the fact that it is hard to spell?


I believe, the biggest flag in the world, if it happens to be a Philippine flag, is the one crucial element missing in our efforts to finally matter in the grand scheme of things. At the very least, tourists will surely flock these shores as they do now Egypt for the Great Pyramids of Giza. And I have the perfect ad campaign ready. I hope someone from the Department of Tourism picks it up. I am not even going to charge a fee.


“Come visit the Philippines, celebrating mediocrity since 1896.”
