It appears that when Filipina's a speaking to each other in their native tongue, they are under the impression they are going to drop dead within the next minute and so they have to get through as many words as quickly as possible.
And here's me thinking it was just my wife who was doing that
I always put it down to her saving "load" on her phone.
Funny that she always spoke to me very slowly when she was in the Philippines and I was paying for the call in the UK
