Wake-upper:
Scene: Bohol Gov. Edgar
Chatto clarified that he never issued a specific
statement about having a list of narco-politicians in the province during
the Provincial Peace and Order Council meeting last Aug. 25. “And it is not only the responsibility of
the intelligence community. In fact the people from intelligence generate their
information through the support of the community,” Chatto said. He also
reminded the media to faithfully do their work by giving the public the right
information. “If there is doubt, ask the source because the source is just
there. If our purpose is indeed honest to goodness service in public and not to
mislead and not put malice in statement and the truth can always be found for
the source of information,” he said. He also appealed to all Boholanos to
provide information that would lead to the arrest and identification of drug
and criminal personalities in the province.

The
social media was filled with “Buwan ng Wika” photos of our friends’ children donning
their favorite barong tagalog and baro’t saya. Indeed, “ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas
mabaho pa kaysa malansang isda.”

Since,
we are at it, I want to share some of our favorite Tagalog #hugot lines which I
culled from the Internet. Here are some
of them:
1—Mamatay-matay
ka sa selos, hindi naman pala kayo. Ano ba ‘yun !
2—Sa
LOVE, walang bingi; walang bulag; walang pipi…pero TANGA marami.
3—Kapag
sumama ka sa matatalino, tatalino ka rin. Kapag sumama ka sa adik, magiging
adik ka rin. Try mong sumama sa akin, baka sakaling maging akin ka rin.
4—Kapag
sinabihan ka nang: “Ang ganda mo!”, mag-thank you ka na lang. Minsan ka
na nga lang sabihan, mag-iinarte ka pa.
5—Ang
mabuting lalaki, “stick to one”, hindi 3 in 1.
6—Kapag
mahal mo, ipaglaban mo. Pero kung pinagmumukha ka nang tanga, iwan mo na.
7—Aanhin
mo ang palasyo kung walang internet connection dito. Mabuti pang mag-stay sa
bahay kubo, sa Wi-Fi zone nakapuwesto.
8—Aanhin
mo ang pera’t mansiyon, kung nagmumura ang iyong bilbil at puson.
9—Aanhin
pa ang tiwala, kung ang hinala ay laging tumatama?
10—Kaysa
mabuwisit, love your “haters”. Sila ang ebidensiya na hindi ka pa nga artista,
may mga fans ka na.
11—Labs,
para kang damit na suot ko ngayon. Simple lang pero bagay sa akin.
12—Lagi
na lang ninyong sinisisi ang mga taong “paasa”. Hindi kaya, kasalanan mo dahil
“assuming” ka lang?

Real names of Bohol’s ‘who’s who’

Do
you think Rich Asuncion would have been one of the country’s young actress had
she used her real name Richell Pacaldo Angalot? Would Maxi been a real designer
had he packaged himself as Maximiel Tallo? We
all know the late Yoyoy Villame was an icon, but there’s a good chance he might
not had the same level of success had he kept his real name, Roman Tesorio
Villame.
Some
people (stars, celebrities, who’s who, semi-celebrities) change their names
because they don’t like them or they are cultivating a unique persona with the
help of a stage name. Others because it doesn’t sound like stars’ names or
their real names are hard to memorize and remember. While some completely wipe the slate clean
(we’re looking at you Inday Rufing!), others simply replace a first or last
name.
