POST
Eric: Listen again to Ana's post.
Camille: Walang tigil ang ulan at nasaan ka araw?
Eric: "The rain isn't stopping and where is the sun?"
Camille: (SLOW) Walang tigil ang ulan at nasaan ka araw? (Regular) Walang tigil ang ulan at nasaan ka araw?
Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "the rain isn't stopping."
Camille: walang tigil ang ulan
Eric: When it is raining very hard or it seems that the rain won't stop soon you can normally use this phrase. Listen again- "the rain isn't stopping" is...
Camille: (SLOW) walang tigil ang ulan (REGULAR) walang tigil ang ulan
Eric: Then comes the phrase - "and where is the sun?."
Camille: at nasaan ka araw
Eric: This phrase is from a popular Filipino song and is well-known by all generations. Filipinos have a habit of quoting relevant lines from songs when they post on social media. Filipinos also have a saying that sometimes the rain is caused by someone's bad singing. Listen again- "and where is the sun?" is...
