Out of the many JPGs I received, the Windows Filipino version is the most interesting and amusing. Unfortunately, I could not anymore track down the source of the images.
The translation reminded me of my ES11 class under Dr. Pacheco of College of Engineering, UP Diliman. Well, he conducted our class in Filipino.
So, a traditional mechanics book describes an object in equilibrium as :
"Summation of vertical forces is equal to the summation of horizontal forces".
Then he described that state of equilibrium in Filipino as :
"Ang suma ng mga pwersang pababa ay katumbas ng suma ng mga pwersang pahalang".
Who says Filipino is not an effective language to develop the nation's competitiveness!
And what about those who read Liwayway, Kislap, Ang Taliba, and Bulaklak, took Speech 1 in Filipino...?
Well, I am sure they are not contact center agents.
