Welcome to my monthly blog. This year, let’s encourage a humorous romantic relationship. This is how to be a Funny Valentine couple all year round. Each month has one cheesy pun for an American-English speaker to share with a Tagalog-English speaking partner. Let’s begin with month 6 of 12…

Dear American, Your Filipino partner might ask... Who is this fellow named July? Check this out:
Q: How do some Filipino partners understand the American Independence Day?
A: If it is not in the Fort of Bonifacio, it must be in the Fort of July.
A: If it is not in the Fort of Bonifacio, it must be in the Fort of July.
(“fort” = sounds like “fourth”)
Sometimes the sound of words seem funny when misheard. But, the one who misunderstood it can be deadly serious. Like the Fourth (4th) of July sounds like the Fort of July.
Don’t we just love the word play of puns? They are safer explosions of laughter compared to the explosions of Independence Day fireworks. And, more fun than getting burned with firecrackers.
By the way, when the case of the Fort of July is cleared, expect smiles and giggles. Enjoy the "fireworks" between you and your partner. Sweet!
