This is a true story taken from one of a local newspaper

in the Philippines .

A 70-year old 'lolo' from the province was accompanied

by a grandson to the US Embassy in Manila for his VISA

interview.

The lolo spoke not a word of English so the grandson

translated for him.

The U.S.Consul told the young man to ask his

grandfather why he wanted to go to the States.

"Bakit daw ho ninyo gustong pumunta sa Amerika?"

The grandson translated "Sabihin mo gusto kong

makita yung mga anak ko doon."

"He said he wants to see his children there." Fair

enough, that's what the lolo's application indicated.

The Consul had another question. "Ask him why does

he have to go there? Why can't his children just come

and visit him here?"

The grandson translated this in Tagalog. Lolo replied:

"Sabihin mo kasi dito pinanganak yung mga anak ko."

"Nakita na nila ang Pilipinas."

"Gusto ko namang makita ang Amerika bago ako

mamatay."

(Translation: "Tell him, my children were born here."

"They've seen the Philippines already". "I just want to

see America before I die.")

The HEARTLESS Consul was unimpressed as he

declared, devoid of any emotion, that he was rejecting

the visa application "because the applicant was unable

to speak any word of English."

"Reject daw yung visa ninyo kasi hindi daw kayo

marunong mag-Ingles."

The lolo was equally unimpressed. "Sabihin mo ito

sa kanya at huwag na huwag mong papalitan ang

sasabihin ko:

"P u t a n g ina niya, bakit siya nandidito eh hindi naman

siya marunong mag-Tagalog! ?"

Translated," He said: You son o f a b i t ch, how come

you are here...you do not know how to speak in Tagalog!?"

Taken aback, sense of humor still intact, the consul

relented and approved lolo's visa application in pronto.

Go LoLo, go...

mabuhay ang Pinoy!!!
