ON TV:
Tagalog soap operas are still very popular. Most combine comedy with drama.
I think there are fewer commercials here than in the US. The half-hour soaps seem like they're an hour long.
It's weird watching "Totally Spies" the cartoon series, dubbed in Tagalog.
There are also a lot of Japanese and Korean soap operas dubbed in Tagalog. I saw some ad for an American movie dubbed in Tagalog as well. Apparently, Keifer Sutherland speaks Tagalog but his mouth doesn't match his words. :-)
ON AIR:
The pollution is so bad in Manila. Even the inside of houses are covered with soot.
ON FAUNA:
The mosquitoes are eating me alive.
ON TIME:
The pace is so much slower than in the US, which is a good thing if you're on vacation, but it's difficult to get much done if you're on a business trip.
