Sa Puti, Sa Pula, Sa Chinitong Moreno datcom...
Comes now a bid to fix the perimeter fence of the Wyte Haus, and at the appointed time all are invited for the inspection and bidding.

Three trans-national contractors are present to bid, to wit:

The aremican contractor whips out his laser measuring tools, and levels; does his measuring work, and pens his estimates. Well he says: " I figure the job will run about USD900. USD400 for materilas, USD400, for my crew, and USD100 as my profit".

The messican contractor does the same thing. Measures with lanyard and metro, and then pencils: "I can do the job for USD700-. USD300- in materiales, USD300- por trabajo, y USD100- para mi bolsito".

Entra ang Pilipino contratista... walang sukatan, wala din kwentada, but he leans closely to the chief bidding officer and whispers USD2,700-. And smiles with a wink.

The official faces the Pinoy with an incredulous look and says: "WHAT?! You did not even measure like the other guys, How did you come up with such a high figure? AND, how do you expect me to to consider your service with that bid?"

"EASY", the Pinoy kontratista explains: USD1,000- for you, USD1,000- for me, and we hire the guy from messico.
