Siguradong narinig mo na ang pangungusap na ito, "Basta Ilocano daw, kuripot!"
In fairness sa mga kababayan nating Ilocano, hindi naman siguro lahat - nagkataon lang na matandang paniniwala na ito - ayon sa sabi-sabi ng maraming Pinoy na kung iimbestigahan ay tiyak na hindi sila mga Ilocano.
Kahit saang lalawigan sa Pilipinas - Ilocano man o hindi, tiyak na may makakatagpo tayong mga kuripot na tao - depende ito sa kanilang kinagisnang kultura ng pagsisikap, pagkamasinop at pagkamatipid.
The following amusing story was e-mailed to me by an Ilocano friend. With due apology to my other Ilocano friends... and relatives, and other Ilocanos out there who might be offended by this story. Kuwentong Barbero lang po ito!
Story goes like this...
One day, a Pinoy barber who owns a barbershop in a Filipino community in Orange County, California, USA, cut the hair of a florist, who asked him: "How much do I owe you?"
The Pinoy barber said, "Nothing, I'm doing it for community service."
The following day, the Pinoy barber found a dozen of roses at the door of his barbershop.
Another day, the Pinoy barber cut the hair of a policeman, who asked him: "How much do I owe you?"
The Pinoy barber said "Nothing, I'm doing it for community service."
The following day, the Pinoy barber found a dozen of donuts in front of the door of his shop.
On one given Friday, the Pinoy barber cut the hair of an Ilocano guy, who asked him: "How much do I owe you?"
The Pinoy barber responded: "Nothing, I'm doing it for community service."
The following day in his shop, the Pinoy barber found 2 dozens of Ilocanos waiting for a free haircut!
