they do something like that on press your luck now for double whammies, though i'm pretty sure the american one usually does things like feathers (that aren't gonna get you like wet), and it coincides with whatever the whammy graphic is.

Apparently the currency of the Phillipines is the peso.
So not only do they always look half-Mexican, they even use pesos? How the hell did this even happen? Their countries are like 3094823904820934823098423 miles apart wtf.

i live in cebu n the downlow on those show is all the chicks are actresses and i guess thats y there fine
Also i guess filipino's are part hispanic (obv look diff and have very diff culture than most oriental ethinic groups, some other things are common with hispanic cultures, somthing to do with the Spaniards coming to the philippines like hundreds of years ago) so thats where the relation to peso's could come from

Little Phillipines history lesson for you guys.
Permanent Spanish settlement was not established until 1565 when an expedition led by the Conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi, arrived in Cebu from Mexico. Six years later, following the defeat of the local Muslim ruler, Rajah Sulaiman III, López de Legazpi established a capital at Manila, a location that offered the excellent harbor of Manila Bay, a large population, and proximity to the ample food supplies of the central Luzon rice lands. Manila became the center of Spanish government, including military, religious, and commercial activities in the islands.[19] Despite the opposition of the Portuguese, who desired to maintain their monopoly on East Indies trade,little armed resistance initially.[19] A significant problem the Spanish faced was the subjugation of the Muslims of western Mindanao, and the Sulu Archipelago. The Muslims, in response to attacks on them from the Spanish and their native allies, raided areas of Luzon and the Visayas that were under Spanish colonial control. The Spanish conducted intermittent military campaigns against the Muslims, but without conclusive results until after the middle of the 19th century.[20]
Spanish rule in the 19th century
In 1781, Governor-General José Basco y Vargas established the Economic Society of the Friends of the Country.[33] The Philippines was administered from the Viceroyalty of New Spain until the grant of independence to Mexico in 1821 necessitated the direct rule from Spain of the Philippines from that year. Developments in and out of the country helped to bring new ideas to the Philippines including the ideals of the French and American Revolutions. In 1863, Queen Isabella of Spain decreed the establishment of a public school system in Spanish, leading to increasing numbers of educated Filipinos. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 cut travel time to Spain. Both of these events prompted the rise of the ilustrados, an enlightened class of Creoles and Indios, since many young Filipinos were able to study in Europe.
So as you can see, Spain ruled the Phillipines for over 400 years, with the british having rule from 1762-1764. This is why the Filipina are darker than the Japaneese, Koreans and Chineese. This is also why the Filipina alll have spanish last names.
