Pinoys name Neil

THE EAR - The Philippine Star
September 3, 2012 | 12:00am

MOONWALKER. Neil Armstrong, the first man who walked on the moon has passed away. He landed on the moon July 1969. Many or most of your friends or relatives named Neil must have been born in that year and were named Neil after the intrepid moonwalker.

WHO HE? But a PUJ conductor named Neil when asked by an Ear informer if he knew Armstrong the astronaut raised his eyebrows and replied “No.” Apparently, he was named to some other Neil.
