Traditional Circumcision ("Pukpuk Tule") in the Philippines

I am a Filipino male, who was circumcised at age nine.
I have to tell you that all Filipino males are circumcised, anyone who is not will be teased to kingdom come.
Most boys in the Philippines are circumcised at age nine, or when they get to the fourth grade.
It seems that the Filipinos put a lot of importance on this practice which, for many males, is their rite of passage from childhood to adulthood.
The circumcised young man is now able to show off his cut dick, by being able to shower with the rest of the guys in public baths or having their first taste of sex.
Filipina women know for a fact that a boy/man should be circumcised, so they definitely know what to expect when they see the male genitalia.
God help the guy who is not cut, for he will forever be the butt of jokes among his peers and lady friends.
