El Madrid de Filipinas

A member from Circulo Hispano Filipino shared this link. Its a popular Metro TV ad from Spain.

Some Filipinos felt that the ad was insulting (I'm not sure why), Filipinos can be overly sensitive. I remember an American actress making a comment that Manila was dirty and unsafe, well, she got her ass banned for life by the officials of the 'ever loyal' city, persona nongrata for you.

If there's one thing we hate, that's telling us what we already know.

Madrid, Surigao actually exist (Population approx. 15,000), and yes some of those guys are Filipino actors (Ronny Lazaro) but if there is one thing I'm not in agreement with who ever made this commercial is that they shot it in Viecong country. It must be cheaper there anyway.

Enjoy.
