Karla<\/a> tagged me, and now I’m sending you this postcard from the \u201cland of the brown, l\u2019exotique and the natives,\u201d as Bryanboy<\/a> would say.

\nYes, it’s an actual postcard<\/a>, and it was sold in a bookstore specializing on Filipiniana books and items. <\/p>\n

Obviously this was a gag photo. The real would have been on a scaffold with Guardia Civils on each corner. Some historical trivia, the orginal garotte used to execute Padre Burgos. Gomez, and Zamora survived until it was burned to cinder during a fire, sometime between WWII and the EDSA Revolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now it’s a meme, intended to celebrate the Philippine’s 109th year of independence. Actually, this post is already 3 days late, but it’s never too late to celebrate, no?<\/p>\n
Here’s how the meme works:<\/p>\n

Download the scanned front (800px<\/a>, 500px<\/a>) and back (800px<\/a>, 500px<\/a>) of this postcard and resize to fit your blog.<\/li>\n
Put some sense into this very old postcard by adding some text. It can be serious, it can be funny. Anything goes!<\/li>\n
Title of the entry should be Only in the Philippines!<\/li>\n
Share the love and tag five other proud Filipinos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
