Looks to be a type of Passionflower
(Passiflora) vine (judging from both the tendril, the "coil shaped" thing, in the picture and fruits), Barbadine the common name for P. quadrangularis.

There is a good reason why the people in the Philapines smile so much. You should buy the book "Culture Shock Philippines" and your understanding will increase very quickly

Andy,
Look up online and read about Edward Payson Weston. Of course he is exceoptional but he was a world class walker into old age, until a car hit him. Ironic. But he was an interesting guy. I believe Wikipedia has an antry on him.

Grammar is a set of rules made up by people with a lot of time on their hands. Shakespeare did not use the grammar that is now used in English. Many languages have much simpler grammar than English. To misquote "Don't worry about grammar, be happy." You have a lucid understandable style. Don't let them nibble at you over grammar.

Talk about generalizations. Spelling and grammar are of course necessary to some degree but not at the expense of getting your point across. Spelling especially is a visual skill. I instinctively know how a word is spelled but I know people who don't visualize and have a hard time with spelling. This doesn't make them lazy or stupid.
The point is that you (Andy) don't make any egregious mistakes that would prevent people from understanding you.
So again don't worry about it.
