manofthecoldland Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 One is a statement. The other is ambiguous. Is it some sort of declarative statement ? Or an imperative ? Love the ............ (put anything you want here). Every tourist spot these days has a "I love -----" sign on site, and its become almost a meaningless cliche. Then again, in authoritarian countries, people are commanded to be ultra-nationalists. If you don't 'Love' your country, bad things might happen to you.

hk blues Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 For me, the expression "Only in the Philippines" sounds negative as I feel the expression is mostly used to describe a situation where something happens that isn't "normal" and not in a good way. How often have we heard it used by locals? How often have we used it? And most of the time it's used to downplay a negative situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
