Q&A1: Pilipino Comics and Tagalog Classics are two popular comics magazines.Q&A2: Ma Mon Luk is a very pedestrian Chinese eatery in Manila. I've eaten there several times. Their mami (meat and noodles soup) is very good.
Q&A3: 'tiyo' means uncle and 'tiya' means auntie. If you pronounce 'Chong see Chang' or 'Tong kantang to kay Chong at Chang' quickly enough, it sounds Chinese.
