    You just give the result of the quiz, but never the correct answer. By, giving the correct answer to the quiz taker, you also gives her or him a lot of information about his or her country. It can be your way of educating those who do not know a lot about the Philippines.

    Huh? Where's my result? I didn't see the correct answers to my mistakes. It would have been more helpful sana to Filipino quiz takers who want to be more informed about their country.

    Thank u for this quiz.My result is saying that am a typical Pinoy as I was able to answer some of the questions. Would it be more helpful if there is an option to retake questions w wrong answers? Practice makes perfect!
