Paw was telling his joke. This time it was about post-war cinemas that he used to watch long ago. In one movie, the plot was about WWII. The funny thing about some Filipino movies of old was the tendancy to show off. Actors would use Rolex watches and fire “ArmaLite” while in combat. The two items were historically incorrect!
Filiipinos back then are impoverished and didn’t have expensive watches to wear and “Carbelite” was the weaponry used at that time. They played Japanese parts, too. And because of their thick Filipino accents, there was no doubt that the actors were not Japanese. I’m sure there would have been much offense at the outrageousness in antiquated Filipino movies.
