For some reason, people almost always think I'm Chinese. When I tell them I'm not, the next thing they ask is "sigurado ka? ano apelyido mo?" There are also those who don't ask anymore. Iniintsik na lang ako basta.
Another misconception is that I'm rich. This is related to the above. Here in the Philippines, parang tingin ng tao lahat ng Chinese mayaman. Pinoy na lang yata ang mahirap dito.
The third, which is also related to 1 and 2, is that I'm from La Salle. Pag sinasabi ko yung school ko, parang di makapaniwala yung nagtatanong. Di ko alam kung maiinsulto ba ko na tingin ng iba e di ako papasa ng UP, o matutuwa na di ako mukhang pobre. LOL.
