When demanding 10% of their income isn't enough. Grifters gotta grift.

That's Iglesia ni Cristo, normal churches don't care even if you don't donate anything

No, don't you see.

They are holding up all the money they earned with crypto.

While it's true that some Filipinos use this gesture to mean 'okay,' Filipinos more commonly use it to mean 'money,' or 'pera,' 'kwarta,' 'datung,' 'anda' (slang words for 'money').

That’s all for today’s Dumb American Learns About Other Cultures!

Wonder how you’re supposed to pronounce BitPinas.

Miming the size of their bumhole after finding it is a scam all along.
