Napansin nung Tiyo na yung kaniyang pamangkin na bagong salta sa America ay umiiyak sa tabi ng kaniyang nakatumbang bisikleta sa tabing daan. Tanong tuloy nung Tiyo, “Hijo, bakit ka umiiyak?”
Sagot nung pamangkin, “Angkol, Angkol…” Madaling kinorek nung Tiyo yung kaniyang pamangkin, “Hijo, ikaw ay nasa America na. Hindi Angkol… Angkel!”
Tinuloy nung pamangkin yung kaniyang kwento, “Angkel, Angkel, I rode my Bysikol…” Madali muling kinorek nung Tiyo yung kaniyang pamangkin, “Hijo, nasa America ka na. hindi Bysikol ang tawag diyan… Bysikel”.
Muling tinuloy nung pamangkin yung kaniyang kwento, “Angkel, Angkel, I rode my Bysikel to buy some Papsikol…” Madali na namang kinorek nung Tiyo, “Hijo, hindi Papsikol - Papsikel!”
Tinuloy ulit nung pamangkin yung kaniyang kwento, “Angkel, Angkel, I rode my Bysikel, to buy some Papsikel… en den I pel… now I heb a Bukel…”

Si Melanie Marquez pa rin habang iniinterview ni boy abunda:
Boy: Melanie, anung masasabi mo sa mga lumalabas na tsismis na hindi ka lang daw drug addict, drug pusher ka pa?
Melanie: they are all liars! tingnan nyo nga ako, ang payat-payat ko, i am a model!

These are two forwarded emails, again worth spreading around especially to first time visitors going to the United States and it’s best to apply it to anywhere you go abroad. This information is a fair warning and to save us Filipinos visiting the US from trouble and embarrassment.
A Filipino friend shared this email. His friend who works for Homeland security as Immigration Inspector at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport ) called him to share the information that just happened. A FIL-AM citizen who was flying to the Philippines for vacation was apprehended by an Airport Immigration agent while she was checking in her baggage and going through the X-ray machine. For some reason, she was randomly checked and was told to open all the envelopes inside her carry-on Coach bag.

The story you are about to read is an ‘anonymous’ (no more) made up story that circulated via email a year ago and gained so much popularity that it has got to be the most famous and most popular forwarded Filipino email of all time! The thing is when I received it from a good friend whom I admire for her brilliance, I thought she wrote it herself!
The letter is so crafty, witty and hilarious that only a ‘genius’ could write it! Writing an intentional “broken English” or using intentional malapropisms is hard and only a talent with a knack for good English can truly write one with such creativity!
