Thats because The Philippines used to be a Spanish colony for around 400 years. Filipinos have alot of dialects but the main one is tagalog which I speak. Some tagalog words have some spanish words
The thing about us Pinoy writers is we don't copy those US wildstyles or those European 3Ds. We do it Asian style :D Of course alot of the pinoy styles have influnce from other countries but we tend to develop our own.
As for getting caught, it's not that tough here compared to the US. You can get away with it bribing the cops.
Yup he's from US but he was in The Philippines years back and painted with the local writers. Graffiti in The Philippines is not as established as US or Europe but it's more active compared to it's South East Asian neighbours.
Here are some graf flix from The New York of The East, HK :)
