Abbreviations and Acronyms

When I write a technical guidebook, I complete last the section on abbreviation and acronyms because I find it onerous and boring, despite its simplicity. Then I stumbled upon a funfare article by Ricky Lo that spells out abbreviations and acronyms that's one of a kind which you bet only Pinoy can make it. It entertained me... so witty notwithstanding its hilariousness. I never thought that there is a book about all of them. I once heard about some of these abbreviations and acronyms in a movie starring Eugene Domingo, who I believe only has the right attitude to use it in such a hilarious but entertaining way. I don't remember the title of that movie but I guess you can find it in one of the following:

Let's start with our own PHILIPPINES: Pumping Hot…I Love it!...Please Please…I Need Erotic Stimulation! or Pati Hostess, Inupakan. Lasing, Inupakan. Pati Pulis, Inupakan. Nahuli, Engot Siya.

This is actually nonsense but it's cool! Just enjoy reading... or you can even attempt memorizing it. Who knows, you may use it in some right occasions (to crack a joke). Ricky Lo mentioned that his friend who authored them has written and published a book about more colloquial, kanto, gay, showbiz lingo.
