Philippines
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
1. You were discovered by one Ferdinand and corrupted by another one.
2. Your national hero is constantly questioned for his heroic motives -- are they still bothered by his height and hairstyle?
3. You have beautiful escapes, but all the people admire are the so-called beautiful Bora and Hollywood getaway Amanpulo.
4. Your hospitable and warm people were once dubbed monkeys and disabled by foreign celebrities.
5. You are currently under US Foreign Watch for being the number one most dangerous spot for media.
6. Your local celebrities are so crazy about sex videos that some even create one for themselves to get their 15-minute fame.
7. You were once prosperous, but several things (in the form of corrupt officials, exploiters, cheaters, and greedy people) pulled you down.
8. You look in the dictionary and Filipino is defined as DH, domestic helper.
