(SPOT.ph) On the latest in tarpaulin fails, we have an ASEAN Summit welcome banner that has the wrong spelling of Philippines, our very own country. "Welcome to the Philppines!," it tells the attendees—mostly world leaders and diplomats—of the November conference. And this isn't the first time, mind you.
Here are embarrassing spelling and grammar mistakes we’ve seen this year.

PHederalism
