<p>I think nobody in Steemit and Whaleshares has done this kind of post series before. So I took it upon myself to do it even if you think it might not be popular or profitable. I just wanted to be the first to do this kind of thing. It would be up to you to decide, my fellow readers, if I was successful or not.</p>
<p>There are still a lot more Filipino local jokes that we need to be translating. These jokes are the products of the Filipinos' creativity, ingenuity, and love of social drinking.</p>
<p><strong>Read and enjoy!</strong></p>

<h3>Grandpa's karma</h3>
<p>One day, Grandpa and grandson little Sonny were taking a walk.</p>
<p>SONNY: Ooops! My one Dollar coin fell in the drainage ditch!<br/>
GRANDPA: Forget it, Sonny! Its too dirty!</p>
<p>The next day, the two were walking along the same path again. But Grandpa slipped and fell into the drainage ditch. A man saw it and told little Sonny.</p>
<p>MAN: Hey, Boy! Your Grandpa fell into the drainage ditch!<br/>
SONNY: Forget it, man! He's too dirty!</p>

<h3>The Ugly and the Genie</h3>
<p>Once upon a time, a very ugly man stumbled upon an old lamp. Curious, he began rubbing it and out came a Genie.</p>
<p>GENIE: Free at last! Master, I can grant you only one wish! So what will it be?<br/>
UGLY MAN: Oh, I wish my country, the Philippines, will become a big country like America!<br/>
GENIE: I am afraid it can not be done! What history has done, it cannot be undone!<br/>
UGLY MAN: Well, in that case, I wish to be handsome! <br/>
GENIE: I am sorry! Oh, just give me the damn map of the Philippines already!</p>

<p>One day, Peter, James and John were having a bet on who could make a statue in the park move. The statue was the image of the town hero holding a book.</p>
<p>PETER: I command you to go down that pedestal!<br/>
JAMES: Look, your enemy is behind your back!</p>
<p>Peter and James attempts failed. The statue did not move. And so it was John's turn next...</p>
<p>JOHN: Open your book book to page 69! There's a picture of a beautiful nude woman there!</p>
<p>The statue suddenly began to move and looked for page 69 on its book!</p>

<h3>Pregnant kid</h3>
<p>TEENAGER: Father, please don't be angry...I'm pregnant!<br/>
FATHER: Is that so? Okay then, go to sleep.<br/>
TEENAGER: Won't you be shocked and angry at me? What kind of a father are you?<br/>
FATHER: Bruno, I have tolerated you being gay and all that! But this is too much! Now, go to sleep!</p>

<p>GRANDPA: In my younger days, it was different. I could get a shirt, pants and shoes for just 20 Pesos.<br/>
GRANDCHILD: Really, Grandpa? What's the difference now?<br/>
GRANDPA: Now the stores are filled with surveillance cameras!</p>
