Incredible! I got from Google a very famous Pilipino quotation aired very often over a late afternoon program on a local radio station in the 60s.
I am not sure about the history of the quotation, but it became the lyrics of a Pilipino song. The quotation goes like this :
"Ako ang nagtanim, ang nagbayo at nagsaing, saka nang maluto'y iba ang kumain." (Pilipino version)
"I planted, pounded with a pestle, cooked the rice but was eaten by somebody else" (English version)
This quotation reminded me of a tragedy - "we conceptualized, presented, designed, developed" - but was snatched in broad daylight - just like that!
Yes, equally incredible. Only in the Philippines.
