"Philippines, are you done with your share?" America turned to her workplace and looked at her, patiently waiting for her reply.
"Not…" She mumbled while focusing on her work very seriously. "Not….. yet…." America smiled at the scene and waited a little bit longer.
"Done?" America asked once again with smile on his face.
"Almost the-….DONE!" She raised the artwork with a smile on her face. She turned to America and showed it to him proudly. "Handle it with care okay?" She reminded America who just laughed and nodded at her.
"She seems enjoying herself." Japan appeared from the sides and smiled at America. America laughed hopelessly and replied, "Thanks to her this project is a little bit lively. We don't know what will happen if she was not here."
"I know how that feels." Japan giggled and added, "She was working on some of my anime as well. Sometimes I wonder how much energy you young ones have."
"You sound like an old geezer just right now Japan."
Japan covered his mouth and smiled, "It's because I am."
[The Following Week]
America called out everyone's attention and went to the front. Everyone stopped working and focused their eyes at him. He opened his mouth and smiled. "We now have a name for the Dentist's place."
Everyone rejoiced and waited for his word. "It's P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney. Let's thank Philippines because she gave me the idea for it." He then pointed Philippines and gave her a round of applause. She was shocked and pointed herself in confusion. A bunch of their co-workers patted her and congratulated her and went back to their post.
"What do you mean me?" After the commotion, Philippines went to America's post and asked him. "I didn't even talk to you for days."
"But that doesn't mean you didn't keep your mouth shut."
"HEY!" Philippines shouted and bloated her cheeks. "What's that suppose to mean?"
America laughed and replied, "While I was doing my daily walk, I heard you shouting P-Sherman a couple of times and then it hit me. It seems a very good name."
"I never said P-Sherman before." She tilted her head in confusion. "Maybe you heard me wrong."
"Really?" America scratched his head and tried to recall the event. "I know you said it before."
"Philippines the next batch of the fisherman that you need to color is here." A man peeked out of the room and shouted at Philippines.
"Okay." She shouted back and smiled at America. "Well I got to go now. Work is waiting for me. I got to color some fisherman." She waved goodbye and was already on the door when America shouted and pointed her.
"There!" He shouted. "You said it again!"
"Said what?" She raised her eyebrow and turned to him.
"You said P-Sherman again!"
"No… I said fisherman."
"You said P-Sherman. I'm positive."
"Are you making fun of me?" Philippines glared at America and bloated her cheeks. She stormed out of the room and cried "I know that I say 'p' instead of 'f' sometimes. You don't need to point it out to me so harshly."
"I HATE YOU AMERICA!"
"What?" America asked himself as all the other workers glared at him.
[Author's Note]
Plus ten points for those who knew what movie this is :)
In Filipino Accent, there is no "Ph", "F", "V" and "Th". Go ahead and try it for yourself.
In Finding Nemo since the majority of the film crew was Filipino and "fisherman" and "P-sherman" almost sounds the same they made it the name of the place where the Dentist lives.
Also if you looked closely on the aquarium you will see a Bahay Kubo there. It was created by Nelson Bohol, one of the films crew. He also based the Mt. Wanahakalugi in our very own Mt. Mayon. Virgina Cruz on the other hand animated Dory and both of them worked on other Pixar and Disney Movies like A Bug's Life, Toy Story and Monster Inc.
And I also have another fact on my sleeve but I don't have proper source for this so please don't believe in this wholeheartedly. My uncle said to me that Filipinos are one of the great sources of IB artists in anime you see in your screens. IB artists or In Between artists are the one who do the line art of the frame by frame of a single animation. My uncle also said that there are companies over all Asia that do IB animation but he stated that the Filipinos are the one who is mostly liked and favored by the Japanese because of the detailed work and our compassion towards work.
Again don't believe in what I said above because I haven't properly understood how Animation Companies really works. But I 100% believe in my uncle and I'm positive that he didn't tell me lies. I just want to be safe because I really don't have any other source than my uncle. So for the meantime we will call this fact half true half unknown.
