May controversy yata ang pagpalit ng pangalan. I was told that they changed it to include the other peoples (majority yata ang Burmese but there are other minority groups). But then the change was dictated by the military junta so siyempre may resistance. I think its okay to call the Burmese majority, Burmese. But what do we call all the people of Myanmar. Kumbaga, ano ang equivalent nila for "Filipino"? Iyan ang hindi ko alam :-) Yup, actually nakakaawa siya on a personal level. At siyempre, Pinas din ang napahiya. Eh mukhang kulang kasi ng groundwork bago siya nag-salita. She (or the DFA) should have first worked silently to get the commitment of other countries (kung meron mang interested because the ASEAN really doesn't talk about human rights) before she goes blurting out a statement like that. Eh mukhang gusto niyang magpa-starring. Kaya ayon... Now what if other countries do the same thing and state that they won't sign the ASEAN charter unless the Philippines improves its human rights record? Eh di pahiya si Gloria. Thanks again :-) Hi Ganda,

So the people of Myanmar are still called Burmese, or were you just being sarcastic about that Myanmarese thing? anyway, I had a language helper from Myanmar when I studied one of the Chin language of theirs, and Burmese is what she calls herself. lol, ganda naman ng mga big words mo! :) Myanmar used to be Burma, right?
