List of English words of Philippine origin
This is a list of English words which originate from any of the Philippine languages:
Platinum Hook
Platinum Hook was an American funk band.
They had a minor hit in the UK with" Standing On The Verge".
Hook and ladder (football)
The hook and lateral is a trick play in American, Canadian football& indoor American football, often colloquially called the hook and ladder play.
Although the latter term is often used generically, a “ hook and ladder ” route specifically identifies a hook- and- lateral to a receiver on a “ ladder ” route.
Thus a slant, cross, or other pattern collecting a lateral from a stop( or hook) route is not truly a “ hook and ladder; ” nonetheless, the phrase has long been used in the vernacular to describe any hook and lateral.
The" hook and lateral" starts with the hook, which is where a wide receiver runs a predetermined distance, usually 10 yards down the field, and along the sideline, and" hooks in" towards the center of the field to receive a forward pass from the quarterback.
Another offensive player( usually another wide receiver) times a run so that he is at full speed, just behind the player with the ball at the time of the catch.
As the defenders close in on the stationary ball carrier, he laterals or hands the ball to the teammate running at full speed in the opposite direction of the original receiver.
If unanticipated, this play puts defenders out of position, running in the wrong direction.
If the second receiver catches the lateral in stride, he can be long gone before defenders can react.
However, the offense runs a high risk of turning the ball over if it is not handled properly because, unlike a forward pass, a dropped lateral pass results in a live ball.
The hook and lateral is one of two common desperation strategies a trailing team can use at the end of a game, the other being the Hail Mary pass.
It has the advantage in that it can be attempted anywhere on the field, whereas the Hail Mary can generally only be attempted at a point on the field where the quarterback's throwing arm is strong enough to reach the end zone with a forward pass.
Monaco (band)
Monaco are an English rock band, originally formed in 1995 as a side project of New Order bassist Peter Hook, together with David Potts, the only remaining member of Hook's previous New Order side project, Revenge.
The group is best known for the 1997 single" What Do You Want From Me?" and the album from which it was taken," Music for Pleasure", which sold over half a million copies.
Hook and Potts currently perform together in Peter Hook and The Light.
In July 2019, Hook announced that the band were to return, performing a new Monaco track" Higher, Higher, Higher Love" during Peter Hook and The Light's ‘ Joy Division Orchestrated ’ show at London's Royal Albert Hall.

The original line- up, formed in 1979, was completed by Sander van Herk( guitar), Roland Jongeneel, Stephan Wienjus( bass) and Ab Tamboer( drums).
Others joining in later included Arnold van Dongen( guitar), Lené te Voorhuis( bass), Toni Peroni( the father of Tony Junior; drums) and Danny Sahupala( drums).
In 1982 they had their breakthrough hit with" België( Is er leven op Pluto?)"; inspired by the international success of VOF de Kunst's" Suzanne" they released an English version(" Luxembourg") in 1985, naming themselves either HGD or The Good Cause.
Afterwards the group was reduced to a nucleus of Westbroek, Temming and Van Herk; they broke up in 1991 and focused on solo- projects.
In 2001 the band played a reunion- show in the classic line- up to celebrate their 10th break- up anniversary.

De Dijk
De Dijk
( English: The Dike) is a Dutch rock band which formed in 1981.
The band is named after Zeedijk, a street in their hometown Amsterdam.
Their music can be described as a mixture of soul, blues and rock'n roll, with lyrics sung only in Dutch, except for their 2010 album Hold on Tight and the song' Enough is Enough', both of which are sung in English by Solomon Burke.
They are considered as one of the most important Dutch acts of the past 25 years.
De Dijk was formed by Huub van der Lubbe, who also is an actor and poet, his brother Hans van der Lubbe and Nico Arzbach.
The band started in a time when Dutch language pop music became highly popular, with bands like Doe Maar, Het Goede Doel and Toontje Lager.
Van der Lubbe performs as a poet as well.
Perhaps as a consequence, the band is not only popular with teenagers but also with older people.
During the 1990s, songs of De Dijk were a major source of inspiration for upcoming Dutch bands like Van Dik Hout and Bløf.
