The organization I work for (for just another 2 weeks!) and the Philippines are both crazy about acronyms. When I first got here, I had a perpetual headache for the first 2 months, just trying to decipher what people were saying.
So, as I was chatting with my office friend Sophie yesterday, we thought up of seeing how many acronyms we've managed to cram into our brains.
Here's what I came up with in no particular order. How many can you recognize? Some may seem like duplicates, but believe me, they stand for different things...and I'm sure there are many more. (Answers follow.)
CRC - DSWD - CWC - GMA - ERAP - FPJ - DepED - BSE - BEE - BALS - SHNC - LS - LSBE - DOH - NASPCP - CPC - CPAP - IMEP - CRC - HIV - AIDS - PRRM - FAD - PJM - IEC - VCCT - PLWHA - GIPA - AMTP4 - PNAC - UNGASS - MDG - UNDAF - ProMS - PRQ - CRQ - CNSP - ARVs - ART - MSM - SW - PIP - IDU - OFW - OCW - PDOS - POEA - MARA - MARCY - EVA - AWP - LGU - GRO - OPA - NEC - PMTCT - PES - HRBAP - RBM - FFL - FFL - OVC - U5M - IMR - MMR - MMR - NCR - DOLE - OWWA - ASP - PAFPI - RAF - SHC - HACT - HACT - RHWC - CHO - PHO - PPDO - CPDO - RSCWC - BCPC - LCPC - LAC - SK - KNN - FPOP - CBCP - PBSP - FLSW - RFSW - EmOC - IUD - P2D - CPD - SSA - PCA - NGO - CBO - SSFA - NSC - UNTWG - UNTG - UNCT - SMT - OMT - ECCD - EAPRO - SEARO - WPRO - ASEAN - AusAID - JICA - JPO - PO - PA - TA - OO - SPO - HoA - UNRC - UCC - IP - NO - AE - CCA - CEDAW - VAW - SA - CSEC - CICL - JJ - HR - HR - CAG - WFP - CAS - MARE - DSA - CO - TOR - PER - KAP - BCC - CSO - PO - FBO - STI - STD - PE - - GAD - FGD - IRR - RA - DO - LCE - EO - DILG - LPID - PTWG - ARSH - RH - FP - PSFR - IDP - IP - TB - DOTS - IOM - SUEP - PUJ - GB - CCP - FX - CFSS - EFA - STS - NTW - PEPAnd the most important of them all: CR!

I am not quite sure how I've stumbled onto your postings, because I've been goofing off at work way too much. Anyway, I am wondering if I can get intouch with you. Hopefully you have hotmail. My msn is Bill_Nye@hotmail.com.
I am also visiting Manilla for another month or so. I'd like to know your thoughts on what to do and where to go as well as what to see. (I've been here a month and a half, seen amazing things, truely... but theres so much more)
Hi, thanks for dropping by. Maybe you can tell me a bit more of what you want to know--I can't say I'm much of an expert on things to do & see in Manila, but can try...
