Watching the late night news on GMA-7, I chanced upon a short feature on the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio. And one of the more popular places in Baguio is Burnham Park. But do Filipinos really know who the Burnham in Burnham Park is?
The news reporter who made the feature asked people around Burnham Park. One lady's answers sent me into a laughing fit.
Reporter: Sino ho ba si Burnham?
Lady: Si Burnham? E di si Burnham... Park...
R: Ahh... apelyido ho nya yung Park?
L: Oo.
R: Eh sino nga ho si Burham? Sino ho sya?
L: Siya ho yung may-ari nito dati... Pero ngayon di na yata...
R: Ah ganun ho?
L: Oo. Iba na yata nagma-manage dito ngayon. Di na siya
I almost woke up my wife with my laughing.
