HAPPY…WHAT? Ever wondered why foreign-administered examinations still require Filipinos to submit acceptable scores in English proficiency tests — despite the Philippines being the third largest English-speaking country in the world? This message-of-concern billboard at the De Venecia highway may be one of the answers. The billboard reflects how King James’ language is being mercilessly mangled in this country. No, ‘Happy Seasonings’ is not the direct Filipino translation of ‘Season’s Greetings.’ Far from it. (PStar Photo by Butch Uka)
