I live in the Philippines where the American Dream and the American Lifestyle and the American Language and the American Standards…. and I can just go on and on with this list of the American attributes have become a part and parcel of the Filipino aspiration.
The American engagement to liberate the Philippines from the wartime clutches of the Japanese Occupancy is how it all began and much of it continues to permeate the Filipino society till today.
Take for example, my beloved father would have chosen American Standard toilets without batting an eye or checking his wallet. It is the hallmark of quality product and is rivaled by none other for its hardware longevity, elegance and functionality.

Yes, I must agree to your observation that we are still obsessed with American products but that's because our locally made products are still very much inferior to the American brands. Your father is right when he opted for the American brand of American Standard for toilet bowl. There are other countries also that has made inroads in our national psyche such as the Japanese, Koreans and Chinese. Until we learn to really love our country and perfect our products, we will see no end to our fascination of other countries' culture and products. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always. I am very much intrigued and I want you to please answer this question. Is Scotty Princess and Lainy the same person?
