Tahanan Books. Welcome to Pinoyland, where every pun is gleefully intended! Only in the Philippines will you bump into a hair salon name "Felix d' Cut", a money-changer unabashedly named "Starbucks", and a Japanese take-out restaurant name "Ta-ke Ho-me." And where else in the world will you find parents calling their children "Bingbing, Bongbong, Dingdong" and other doorbell nicknames? Pinoys are celebrated in this book as marvelous innovators of language.
