Kuripot kono ang Bol-anon, tinuod ba ni?

[Lorenzo]

Someone at worked asked me if i am "kuripot". When I asked why you would asked such a question, she said, "oh because the stereotype is that BOL-ANONs are kuripot."

I was so very insulted.

Pakdatchit.

[Lorenzo]

So, dear fellows, is there truth to this stereotype?

[Lorenzo]

I smiled and said to this nurse, "Bol-anons may be kuripot, but better to be kuripot and rich, than gastador and pobre..."

[Leoin_Argo]

oo tinuod na...d jud na ikalimod nato.mao bitaw daghan kaaung mga bangko dri sa bohol ...ultimo mga small-time banks nanud dri because they have known na we are great savers, not great spenders. and this is not what u call progress in the country, dapat roll and roll jud nang kwarta, para mo asenso ta. d b?

He he, ang mga milyonir diri kay too young to die but too old to rock 'n' roll (their money)...

Dr. Lorenzo, pareha pod ta og experience.
sa dihang nakapalit ko og 2 hectares nga yuta diri sa Davao, miingon dayon ang akong mga silingan, " ay kuripot man nang Bol-anon." Ako dayon giingnan, "aron makapalit mog yuta, magkuripot sad mo." Sukad niadto dili na sila maghisgot bahin sa ako.Ang pagdaginot aron makatigom ka , dili man na kuripot.Akong giingnan sila, "ang kuripot kadtong way tinigon."

may ara ka diha sano kwarta haw?

WAAAAAAAAAA jamo ko karon sano, te na-a sang bangko.

To add a different point of view to this thread, I want to share a true story. There is an old man who is an old friend of my grandfather's , a farmer who works the basaks in Valencia. He is what you would call "an all-around-businessman"; a farmer, a fisherman, a businessman, and family man; active in the buy and sell business of rice, as well as food products (he raises and sells pigs, too). This man has 4 sons, and was able to send all of his sons to college -- all four are now engineers with a very productive and active career. How did he send all four sons to C.I.T's College of Engineering? He saved. His one son is a district engineer in Cebu's Mandaue City, one son is an electrical engineer here in the United States and two sons are mechanical engineers in Saudi.

Education, truly, is key to success. Despite this man's birth in life (he came from a very, very poor family), his work ethic and ability to financially manage, influenced his sons' direction in their lives.

Kuripot si manong, but, hey, all his sons are engineers (two of them were board top-notchers)

[Lorenzo]

Not to boast, but, one thing I do notice is that Valencia, as a town, produces many board top-notchers in the fields of Engineering and Medicine.

Mr. Daray,

You spoke truth to those people. Na uwaw sila because of their callous words in stereotyping you. Na uwaw sila because they know that you had the financial means to afford to buy two hectares worth of land. Which, I am sure, was hard earned and honestly earned.

They can only comment at you, but in the end of the day, you own the land and they don't.

[hofelina]

unsay kala-inan sa kuripot ug daginotan?

[Lorenzo]

oo tinuod na...d jud na ikalimod nato.mao bitaw daghan kaaung mga bangko dri sa bohol ...ultimo mga small-time banks nanud dri because they have known na we are great savers, not great spenders. and this is not what u call progress in the country, dapat roll and roll jud nang kwarta, para mo asenso ta. d b?

On the contrary, I would say that people who save contribute greatly to their respective communities because those said banks utilize the capital for further investments. Bol-anons, by their shear ability to save, contribute greatly to the financial infrastructure of the province of Bohol and to the nation as a whole.

I would even dare say that Bol-anons are blessed with sound financial sustainability , coupled with long-term interests.


Sincerely,
Dr. Lorenzo

di tanto.  gastador man lagi ko.  moundang lang ug gasto kun wa jamo na.

he he he, maayo na, isles. you uphold the proverbial saying, "it is unwise to spend what you do not have..."

I can't help but remember the very words of my Lola, "Ondoy, ayawg pag utang. Ug mo utang ka, ma pobre ka. Only buy if you have the cash for it!"

[Lorenzo]

He he, ang mga milyonir diri kay too young to die but too old to rock 'n' roll (their money)...

In defense of the milyonirs, one becomes a 'milyonir' by being fiscally conservative.

[hubag bohol]

may ara ka diha sano kwarta haw?

WAAAAAAAAAA jamo ko karon sano, te na-a sang bangko.

Te manugdala ka hang piko kag pala sang bangko haron ginapiko kag ginapala hang sapi mo gid...

Hmm, tungod kay kuripot?

Lisod kaayo, uy.

Kinsay kuripot ang Bol-anon o Insek nga maglugaw lugaw man gani?

[Confused Seuss]

unsay kala-inan sa kuripot ug daginotan?

lisod ispilingon but ill try to answer from my point of view
ang kuripot mo daginot unja dili mo gasto
ang daginotan mo daginot pero ka antigo mo gasto

[Lorenzo]

Kinsay kuripot ang Bol-anon o Insek nga maglugaw lugaw man gani?

Okay lang ug kuripot , basta maka asenso ! Chinese are successful because they know how to save and invest money, which leads to profit.

Thanks for your explanation, Confused Seuss.
