In time for the 109th Anniversary of the Philippine Declaration of Independence (which is today), a new blog meme was unleashed to honor the uniqueness of Filipinos. I was tagged by Riz, and I’m tagging you next! :)

The Rules:
1. Download the scanned front and back of this postcard and resize to fit your blog. (Riz, tamad na ko mag-upload, kaya link mo pa din yan, haha)
2. Enter your independence day message on the back and post both images on your blog.
3. Title of post should be “Only in the Philippines!”
4. Tag five fellow countrymen.

Executioner

Iba ka, Pinoy

Re: the first photo — I don’t think they really did that back then. Kinda scary, isn’t it? :D

The post card (yes, it’s a totally genuine post card!) is a parody of an execution in the turn-of-the-century Philippines. Why a parody? Well, I highly doubt people would be smiling at something like this :P It’s quite disturbing that of all the things one can make out of a post card, they had to choose an execution scene. Ah well. I guess we Pinoys just like making jokes out of anything, even this! :D -Gail.

I’m tagging Aaron, Eugene, Jaypee, Shari, and Darwin. Have fun! :)
