AKO MISMO dog tag and Cuba
>> 17 September 2009
Cuba and the AKO MISMO dog tag. Anyway, here's a little history, the Philippine Flag was inspired from the Cuban flag. I guess not only Cuba but Puerto Rico as well. Puerto Rico has the blue triangle while the Philippines has white. The 3 countries were Spain's last overseas provinces before the Treaty of Paris that relinquished Spain's rights over these islands to the United States. Even Bonifacio's Biyak-Na-Bato Constitution also known as Constitución Provisional de la República de Filipinas was based on the 1st Cuban Constitution and was written both in Spanish and Tagalog. AKO means 'I' or 'Me' in almost all Filipino dialects while 'MISMO' is a Spanish word for 'Same.' AKO MISMO means I, Myself in Filipino. The Filipino usage of MISMO doesn't follow the Spanish rule of noun-adjective agreement. See the blend? That's Hispanicity... I wonder the whereabouts of Philippine-Cuban relations nowadays. I heard both States had a directive to share advances of medicine and sports. Prayers for Cubans under Castrista Regime...

Cuba is still living quite hard still. After the lockdown of relationship with the states.
I heard some people earn around 3-10USD a month.
Cuba is 50 years late than the rest of the world in terms of development. The Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico are having the same fate not only after the Treaty of Paris.. The Philippines—corrupt leaders, Cuba—Communism, human rights issues under Castro, Puerto Rico—problems with self-determination whether to be independent or a vassal to the US of 400 years, making her the longest colony ever in the Americas.
Hi Rant Ave., thanks for visiting and commenting on my space. I like what you have here.
Regarding Cuba, their not the type of people that counts how much is their annual income - much of the bad stuff we hear from the place comes from America - they're socialist so they operate differently from us. Yes they have their share of human rights issues and poverty but at least they have free health care and education :)
More power to your blog

I totally agree with you. I'm really tired of buying what the gringos say to the world... too much for that. =)Thanks for the quick visit!
