Word of the Lourd (WOTL) Episodes About Filipino Traits

I first learned of Lourd de Veyra about a year ago when I saw one of his Word of the Lourd (WOTL) YouTube video series. I immediately got hooked. Well who wouldn't be for someone who loves political satire blended with black humor. His short videos are like fingernails scraping a chalkboard, unpleasant and primal yet direct and honest (I hope this made sense!).

My favorite episodes are those focused on "unique" Filipino traits. I put quotes on unique because these traits may have their international versions (I am erring on the safe side here). I made a compilation of these videos for everybody's multiple (viewing) pleasure.

Daigo Umehara's Awesomeness

I have not been playing fighting games (at home or in the arcade) for almost a decade now. As a result, it was only now that I learned of Daigo Umehara and the famous Evolution 2004 championship match he fought with Justin Wong which he won via a dramatic comeback (an understatement really) and by a "hair or pixel" of life. Enough with the words and watch the video below to see Daigo's awesomeness in action.
