Filipino isn’t easy. Take it from me. When I first moved here, I struggled so hard trying to understand and use the Filipino language, it took me quite a long while to even learn anything remotely important in the language. In fact, to this day, my friends still laugh at me when I ask what certain words mean or when I mispronounce certain words every now and then.
So, when we got the chance to bring The Superdudes around Manila during their recent visit to launch their first series of live stage shows to the world, we made sure that they learned a few Filipino phrases to help them get around. Watch the video here:
