I OFTEN take the flak online because I try to be smart.
I like to challenge the arrogant young Filipinos who think that their opinions are equal to mine.
Or that their “feeling privileged” view of the world matters at all.
***
Seriously, I feel for the young Filipinos.
I still have the idealism to believe that “the Filipino youth is worth fighting for.”
Yes, that’s a Peter Solis Nery original.
Adapted from Ninoy’s “the Filipino is worth dying for,” and Cory’s “the Filipino is worth living for.”
***
But when arrogant young Filipinos question my wisdom, my intelligence, and my principles, I don’t take their shit.
I give them the shit that’s more than they can take.
That’s just the way I am, and there’s nothing to be done about that.
***
You can argue with me.
Just don’t expect to win.
And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
***
To Gen Z:
You are a lost generation not because you don’t know what is right.
But because you argue for what you know is wrong.

Two of the latest issues that I’ve discussed online that “triggered” the arrogant youth to react with rapidity and virulence concern the sluts, and the teenage pregnancies.
I just can’t take it sitting down that the idiots are calling to ‘normalize’ these things, and like even ‘demand’ people to accord the sluts and the teenage preggies some sort of respect.
Bullshit!
***
Teenage pregnancy, a blessing?
Get real!
Aminin n’yo, Ooops talaga ‘yon.
Tatanga-tanga sa condom.
***
And remember these…?
***
Igalang daw ang rights ng sluts.
No! Igalang muna nila ang rights ng dissenting tao.
Kailan naging disente ang mga puta?
***
Mahigit 5,000 years na kinutya’t pinagtawanan natin ang mga pokpok.
Tapos, bigla na lang, igagalang, ilalagay n’yo sila sa pedestal?
***
Just because I don’t want to give the sluts and the teenage moms a free pass, I’m often criticized and called “close-minded” and “traditional.”
Me? Of all people?
***
Hoy, mahiya kayo sa “radical views” ninyo na nagnanais at naghahanap ng “traditional” na pagtanggap.
Mga bobo!
***
Ang tunay na radical thinker, like me, hindi inaasa sa social media ang katinuan at self-worth.
We screw the mind of the gullible!
***
Hindi bobo ang Filipino youth.
Tinitest lang nila ako kung may alam nga ba sila.
Wrong move.
Wasak ang mga ego nila sa akin.
***
Hindi po ako ang enemy ng utopian o ideal vision ninyo.
I’m all good with it.
Sariling toxicity ninyo ang kalaban ninyo.
***
Sometimes, the way young people argue with me online makes me think that they’re living in a strange parallel world.
Are they even eating cooked rice in that world and alternate universe?
Are there parents and responsible adults in these alternate worlds?
***
Good luck sa alternate reality ninyo.
If need n’yo ‘yan para di magmukhang bobo, ‘wag n’yo kaming idamay na matatalino.
***
Sa alternate reality ninyo, ako ang mali.
Gago!
Kaya nga “alternate reality.”
Kasi hindi kayo tama sa mundong ito!
***
I don’t really worry about people and things I can’t change.
Kung gusto nilang mabulok sa putikan, that’s what Hell is for.
***
I worry a little about the Filipino youth.
Because although I can’t change all of them, I can still influence 69.
And 69 is all worth it.
***
Of course, nobody gets the joke about 69.
How 69 is all worth it.
How 69 is my favorite…
