Description
This is a picture of Mark, nicknamed Mok-Mok, holding a cold drink and posing with his usual smile. Filipinos are fond of giving nicknames based on the repeated first syllables of a name (e.g. Jen-Jen for Jennifer, Den-Den for Denisse). In Filipino culture, it is also quite common to encounter "doorbell" sounding nicknames such as Bing Bong, Ding Dong, etc. (date: 2005-02-26)
