Tagalog na Tunay.

Gotta learn true Filipino (Tagalog) words!

Tagalog
Na Tunay

    A young,
good-looking representative from Laguna sponsored a bill recommending Filipino
language be used in all levels of accounting firms and banking institutions. The
solon claimed it will provide a better understanding of the business
transactions for those who are inexperienced and non-English speaking
citizens.     The bill
received unanimous approval from the House and was presented to the President
for signature to become the law of the land. But in spite of the overwhelming
pressure from the members of Congress, President Gloria Arroyo vetoed the
bill.
   
Why? She found out that when the English 'business' words are translated in
Tagalog, they sound very malicious and are 'nakaka-hiya at
nakaka-kilabot!'
