Filipino Friends of Qatar

Finally, it's here!!!

Welcome guys and gals!!!

Though the group name say the word "Filipino", this does not mean that only the ones from the Philippines could come and join the fun melee. Let's just treat this comradeship an extension of the Kitakits...Taralets (part 1 & 2) forum topics wherein we could talk in Tag-Lish (Tagalog-English) about anything in the sun without making other QL members uncomfortable with us talking in our mother tongue.

Marami kasi sa tin dito sa QL ay nasa ibang bansa, nasa Pinas pa or kadarating pa lang. It's quite overwhelming specially to first-timers kabayans to be in a country or state that is totally different from the culture we grew up with. But, thanks to QL.com, we managed to meet and know each other even in cyberspace. As we Filipinos are known to be able to adapt to any environs or society he moves in with but it usually takes time...so let's make it easy for our kababayans so they too can achieve their purpose and goals why they have come to Qatar.

Hindi po ito para sa iilan lang, para po ito sa ating lahat...

Galing ng Pinoy!!!

I think "Friends" should appear in the name because it is the word that best captures the "unity" and "camaraderie" laid down as specific description for this group. For other types of descriptions, I think it is better to create a different group. If the majority is allergic to the word, "Friends," it can be substituted with the word, "Pal," which actually means "a close friend."

"Filipinos" should also appear so that other Filipinos can immediately identify it as a group they can join.

"QL", as host, should also appear.

This means I'll vote for QL Filipino Friends.

Hi Greetings to all my Kababayans, it seems everybody is so excited to see each other who is who tomorrow. Pa habol lang po my preliminary suggestion to the groups name. Why not “Filipino Expats in Qatar” since we are all expats in this Hot & Cold country.

And maybe tomorrow we can also suggest our primary goal or purpose in this, soon to be in the history of expats in Qatar, again thanks to the one who initiated this idea.

Thanks and see you all 2morow

I've already took notes of the suggestions made by everyone and I appreciate it, a lot.

the one I submitted to Qatari at that time was "QL Filipino Friends"

for the groups name, with the thought that an official name can be decided during the "get-Together"

All those who would attend can form a caucus and decide amonst themselves.

FYI....QATARI WAS THE ONE who came up with the "Filipino Friends in Qatar" name for the group.

What about Qatar Friends Corner (QFC)? It's a cross between Kiara's and Juandering's and doesn't copy anyone's brand name, avoiding once and for all any possible legal issues with some chicken and oil establishments. Besides, if said fast enough, QFC still sounds like KFC and your ermats will still think you are going to have drumsticks somewhere.

KFC for short :)

Kabayan - denotes the Filipino-oriented nature of this group, and the probable majority of the members

Friends - for the non-Filipino members or guests

Corner - part of QL home, also denotes a meeting point of two paths (of the above two groups)
