Normalizing the "Dirty Mouth and Maniac Moves""

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Can we still voice our opinion online without being rude. Does being a celebrity exempt you from following good manners and right conduct?

Here is what people say:

"Normal na ang kabastusan, madalas makita sa government leaders naman so quits lang"

"Well, we have to thank the president for normalizing rudeness and dirty words."

"Well, naging normal na naman siya (kahit ayaw natin)... Leaders cursing people, saying stupid things, nangmamanyak... What do you expect?"

"Sometimes you have to be bastos to bastos people. You can’t play nice all the time."

As you can see, people have grown familiar of how "bastos" our government officials are, thus the despicable attitude. We need to have a new set of leaders with good morals and transparency with the right priorities and leading by example not exemption.

Tama naman yung nagsabi na kapag maayos talaga ang ugali mo, hindi ka maiimpluwensyahan ng kahit sinong bastos sa paligid. Hindi naman tayo magiging kasing bastos ni Duterte at Roque, pero kaya natin silang i-call out sa kabastusan nila, unlike nung karamihan na ipinagwawalang bahala lang, enablers. Hindi tayo bastos pero alam natin paano at kanino natin ibabato ang kabastusan. 

Kung well mannered ka na tao kahit ano pa makita mo sa paligid na hindi maganda hindi mo yan gagayahin. Don't blame other people sa pagiging bastos ng isang tao. 

But not everyone think alike. The DDSs are paid to mock our intelligence and patience coz every engagement is a point for them to earn. That is why they are void of any logic because it is intentional to keep the debate going until they made you as mad as cursing as well.

Duterte’s camp released a video supposedly to capture his fake, “simple” 76th birthday celebration, but it only exposed how unrepentantly misogynistic Duterte is. #DuterteMANYAK. Our President needs to know right from wrong.

Pakitanong kay Harry Roque kung si PRRD lang pwedeng gumawa nito dahil "the president is the president"?

This is very concerning because;

1. Roque is defending groping as a "sense of humor".

2. the tendency of the maid complaining is low because of authority complex and losing her job.

#DuterteManyak fits the regime's culture of impunity to a tee. Duterte surrounds himself w/ YES enablers, apologists, & sycophants. So, even when you say NO, his sick mind will twist it into YES.

DEAR WOMEN,

Nobody can take away your voice, dignity, & power if you don't let #DuterteManyak men walk all over you. You are either the hunted or the hunter; the prey or the predator; the victim or the ballbusting survivor; the pushover or the fighter.

ARE YOU ONE OR THE OTHER?

And after he is done with you—he'll just pardon his unpardonable acts of depravity.

At sa mga kababaihan na panig sa kanya nakakasuka kayo. 

There is something wrong with our government officials in general. Wala na yung delicadeza. 

Unlike in Japan, specifically on the latest issue, 2 Tokyo Olympics officials resigned for sexist and demeaning comments on women.  Sanaol.

I won't tolerate or condone any form of harassment.

"You were not born to be harrassed or abused, downplayed. You were born to be respected & loved." 

We all have the same rights, we are all equal. Regardless of race, gender, religion and status.

Matagal pa ba talaga before we can hold him and his cohorts criminally liable?

How do they sleep at night?

Feet and feat: Mangyan parent leader moves mountain for her community

Wazzup Pilipinas!?


With courage and determination, a Mangyan Parent Leader from Bansud, Oriental Mindoro showed that no mountain is higher than her desire to help her people. For her, poverty cannot dishearten a woman filled with passion and commitment to serve even in the midst of a pandemic.
Haydilyn “Haydi” Dimaano, 37, belongs to the Bangon Mangyan tribe who lives in the mountains of Brgy. Rosacara, Bansud, Oriental Mindoro. Before becoming a Parent Leader, she has been serving the Uyugan Bangon (Group of Bangon Tribe) — a group organized through the Pamayanang Mangyan Ugnayan, Inc. (PMUI). As the secretary, Haydi leads different development sessions that aim to empower Indigenous Peoples (IPs). Her fellow Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries have seen her passion to help. Hence in 2018, she was chosen by the beneficiaries to lead their cluster in Bansud.

Moving Mountains

Even before the pandemic, Haydi is already known in their tribe for being resourceful. She can quickly think of solutions to the challenges her community faces. In September 2019, she initiated the cooperative called Ufudan Mangyan 4Ps (Ufudan is a Buhid word that means group). It was initially formed to address their problem with expensive and low-quality rice. Thus to answer the call, Haydi helped the Mangyans to access good quality and cheaper rice.

Months after, the transaction between the rice supplier and the Mangyans went well. In return, the supplier has offered Haydi`s tribe a discount on every sack of rice her fellow beneficiaries will purchase. “May ibinigay po sakin na Php 2,000.00, pero sabi ko po, sa grupo ito [money]”. Instead of taking this as an advantage, the Mangyan parent leader has seen this as an opportunity for Ufudan Mangyan 4Ps to generate savings for their group. Haydi informed her fellow beneficiaries about the discount they will get which will directly go to the fund of their group. “Ngayon po nasa Php 41,000.00 na ‘yung pondo namin. Sabi ko po sa kanila, dapat magkaroon kami ng mapagkakakitaan kahit wala na kami sa 4Ps. Pag-uusapan pa po namin pero balak po naming magtayo ng tindahan para mapalago pa ito.”

When the pandemic came, this mother of two became an instrument of change and a channel of blessing to the Bangon tribe as well as to the Buhi (tribe that also lives in Bansud). “Nakita ko po sila [fellow 4Ps beneficiaries] na labis na naapektuhan ng pandemya. Madami po ang nawalan ng trabaho. Ipinagbawal po ang pagpunta sa ibang lugar kaya po naapektuhan ang hanapbuhay nila.” Different challenges came along their way that has greatly affected their livelihood and source of income. This includes limitations on mobilization because of the community quarantines and increased transportation costs as protocols in physical distancing have to be followed.

Haydi knew that she must remain steadfast for the tribe. Thus to address these problems, she lobbied and sought help from different partners. One of those who heard her was the Soro-Soro Ibaba Development Cooperative (SIDC). The cooperative has traversed the mountains and brought a rolling store to the Mangyans. “Naging mahal po kasi ang pamasahe pa-bayan. Nasa Php 60.00 po hanggang Php 100.00 balikan. Pang-ulam na po ‘yun sa maghapon. Kaya nakiusap po talaga ako sa kanila na akyatin kami dito”. Because of Haydi, the rolling store has benefitted not only her fellow IP beneficiaries but as well as non-IPs and non-beneficiaries. Aside from saving from the transportation cost going to the town proper, market prices of the goods remained the same.

Feet and Feat

The heart for public service of the IP parent leader has been also seemingly inherited by her children. “Pinalaki ko po silang mababait at matulungin sa kapwa. Sabi ko po sa kanila, kahit maliit na pagtulong, nabibilang. Wala po sa maliit o malaki”. Together with their mother, Derwin, 13 years old (Grade 7), and Trisha, 11 years old (Grade 5), they take turns in helping their neighbors to answer their school modules.

For Haydi, no initiative is small as long as it is from the heart. She said that everyone can start with baby steps. Those baby steps count as long as you keep on moving forward. “Likas po sa aming mga Mangyan ang pagiging matulungin. Kahit maliit pong pagtulong, nabibilang. Wala po sa maliit o malaki”. She believes that compassion and benevolence are innate to everyone. “Ang tao po, likas na matulungin. Iba po kasi ang pakiramdam ng nakakatulong sa kapwa. ‘Yung nakikita ko pong saya sa mga ka-tribo ko, doble po ang sayang naidudulot sa akin. Kumabaga, mas masaya pa po ako sa kanila.”

The 37-year-old Mangyan parent leader also acknowledges that it is not just her who moved the mountains. It is a collective effort of all the people, fellow IP beneficiaries and partners, who want the same for the Mangyans – a community where no one is left behind. She firmly believes that no culture, gender, race nor poverty or even a virus can divide the IPs and non-IPs, rather it unites us.

As of this moment, Haydi’s tribe is planning to officially register the Ufudan Mangayan 4Ps as an organization. She also plans to submit project proposals on livelihood to different government agencies and private organizations. In fact, she will meet her fellow beneficiaries this coming Sunday to convene them and decide on how to grow their funds.

Eduard Folayang Determined to Power Himself Out of Slump Against Veteran Yoshihiro Akiyama

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang is coming into his next bout full of motivation, after witnessing his Team Lakay teammates claim victories early into the year.

The 37-year-old ONE Championship veteran is in the most difficult stretch of his 14 year professional career, as “Landslide” has dropped four of his last five. Folayang, however, remains full of hope, and is determined to power himself out of his most recent slump.

ONE Championship recently confirmed Folayang’s highly anticipated return to action. The Team Lakay senior will take on Korean-Japanese superstar Yoshihiro “Sexyama” Akiyama at “ONE on TNT IV,” scheduled for Wednesday 28 April (Thursday, 29 April PH time) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.

It’s the fourth installment in the “ONE on TNT” event series, which is broadcast to American audiences on US prime time via B/R Live and TNT.

Folayang is excited to face the 45-year-old Akiyama, and is currently deep in training, looking for his first victory in nearly two years.

“This will be a great fight for me. I’m working hard with the team right now, and I’m definitely up for the challenge. Everyone is gearing up,” said Folayang.

“Our victories in the first half of the year have boosted our morale. I, myself, have been inspired by my team’s victories. With our hard work, and discipline, and by the grace of God, 2021 will be a good year for Team Lakay.”

Folayang’s last victory in the Circle came against tough Mongolian Amarsanaa Tsogookhuu in November 2019. Prior to that, he dropped submission losses to Japanese rival Shinya Aoki and former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez. Most recently, Folayang experienced decision losses to highly-regarded lightweights Pieter Buist and Antonio Caruso.

It has certainly been a rough stretch for the Filipino star, to say the least. But Folayang remains confident he can still put together a run back to the top, beginning with a solid performance against Akiyama.

“It is always an honor to share the Circle with legends. It gives me added motivation. Yoshihiro Akiyama is a legend and a veteran of the cage. His name is known throughout the world. This fight excites me because I know I’m going up against a great fighter. I’m working hard to come into the Circle well-conditioned with my mind and body,” said Folayang.


“This is a very important battle for me. I didn’t get the results that I wanted in my previous fights, and I wasn’t able to perform the way I wanted. The key to this fight is going to be the preparation. We’re coming up with a solid game plan. He’s not going to be an easy opponent. But at the same time, I’m confident in my skills. This time, I will aim for a steadfast victory.”
