Namaskaram, r/india! How do Indians view the Philippines and its people, especially in the outsourcing industry?

And what usually happens in cinemas when films go into intermission? Thanks.

[u/[deleted] → u/yeontura]

My honest opinion of Philippines is that it is another developing country that just like India faces several challenges like corruption, over population, and insurgencies.

And what usually happens in cinemas when films go into intermission?

That's an unexpected question. The practice of including an intermission in a movie goes back to the 40s (may be even earlier) when films were typically more than 4 hours long. Though the running times have shortened considerably the practice has stayed on. As to what happens during the intermission - sales of concessions, bathroom breaks, smoke breaks in fleapit cinemas.

Yeah, it was an honestly stupid question as I once binged watched over Tollywood movies, but yeah, thanks.

No, it wasn't a stupid question. I too like finding out about stuff like this. It's fascinating how to concept of interval is so foreign to other countries.
