actually I had a filipino telling me the same thing too.I only get to find out about this when my gal who share the same room with her complained of her smell.And yes,she smelled till the extend that you would know which day she washed the car.And you will know she is approaching you a room away.Yes,I m not kidding. My gal told me she doesnt bath..and I was surprised cos I thought personal hygience problem shouldnt be on filipino..but then I found out she really never bath for days.When I told the agent,she complained to her that I want her to do ironing before sleep,therefore she couldnt bath after ironing cos they believed,their body is hot after ironing so when they bath,they would burst their blood vessel... I was like...urgh...I m still alive after countless times of taking bath after sweating..
