3) The Filipino Is Worth Dining For


The late Aquino said "The Filipoino is worth dying for"(or words to that effect). A restaurant in Manila gave this quote a punny turn.


The Filipino is worth dining for

This is a pun on  a popular quote said by Benigno Ninoy S. Aquino (a contender to the Filipino dictator, Ferdinand Marcos). Sadly, Ninoy was shot dead on the tarmac, in 1983 just as he was disembarking the airplane while returning from exile. His wife, and later his son became presidents of the country.
The original quote (actually he did not say this verbatim, but that is a minor technicality)
