i chanced upon this article in msn and was surprised to find the philippines to rank high in one of the categories.  the article is about men's health around the world.

some excerpts from the article:

Sex and Relationships

Where the Sex is Spectacular

1. United Kingdom
2. Poland
3. Netherlands
4. Romania
5. Philippines

Worst Sex Lives

• Italy (#20)

i wish i was one of those filipinos getting/experiencing spectacular sex.  :o(

World Leaders

Where men are happiest: Mexico

• How men rate their happiness, on a scale of 1 to 10: 7.61
• Runners-up: Netherlands 6.97 Brazil, Ukraine 6.94

Where life's a vacation: Germany

• Number of weeks per year the average guy takes off: 6.12

Where friendship is sacred: Philippines

• Number of close friends the average guy says he has: 3.23
• Runners-up: China 2.89 Portugal 2.87

i think it's true that people in the philippines value friendship be they male or female.  i'm surprised though, that the philippines didn't rank high enough in terms of happiness.  i guess sex is just not enough to keep filipinos happy.

World Losers
