Uniquely Pinoy humor

Posted by: Avigail Olarte | June 15, 2005 at 12:45 pm
Filed under: General, In the News, Political Humor

WE’VE seen this during the time of Erap. Once again, with the nation in crisis over the jueteng and wiretapping scandals, the Filipino sentiment is spiced with humor. Like what Joey Reyes wrote, “If they can laugh at a situation, Filipinos argue, they can rise above it.

I hear there’s even a song in the making entitled “Buking.” It actually has snippets of the conversations or something similar in it. And they now have a ringtone that goes “Hello…hello, Garci…?”

Here are some jokes going around through SMS and the Internet:

Sa dami ng mga batikos hindi magawang magsalita ng ating presidente.
Bakit?! ……………………&helli p;.
Mahirap na. Baka mabosesan!

===

Latest news update: Iggy Arroyo is now practicing the voice of GMA.

A longer version:

News: Nakatakdang aminin ni Iggy Arroyo na siya ang babaeng boses sa tape. Napabalitang bumalik siya sa kanyang bayan para pag-aralan gayahin ang boses ni gma.

===

Woman: Garci, dy, pasahan mo naman ako ng load, este, ng vote….

===

Garci: Hindi ako nagtatago noh! Nakikipag-phonepal ako kay Saddam!

===

Opposition: Why can’t GMA come out and say ‘i’m not the ma’am in the tape’?

Malacañang: She doesn’t want to lie.

===

Ang mga nangyayari sa ating bansa parang teleserye:

Yung jueteng scandal ang title "Mga anak ng jueteng."

Yun namang gloriagate scandal "Tap si glo!"

===

Babae: Lahat ng mga Arroyo ay magnanakaw.

Lalaki: Ang sakit mo namang magsalita.

Babae: Bakit? Isa ka ba sa mga Arroyo?

Lalaki: Hindi. Magnanakaw ako! 

===

Aba naman Gloria napupuno ka ng grasya.
Ang kayamanan ng tao ay sumaiyo na,
Bukod ka pinagpala sa babaeng lahat.
Pinagpala rin ang iyong angkan. Wala nang natira sa
AMEN.

===

Q: What special feature is added in the cellphones of Mike and Mikey Arroyo?

A: Call Jueteng.

Ssssshhhhh! Naka-wire tap, si Gary ito huh!

It is funny how enterprising students can be. Some of them have been selling CDs of the conversation at P5 each. They say it will help them cope with the rise in tuition, plus do their bit in spreading the word. When policemen tried to buy from them, they gave them free CDs. Blank CDs, that it. Smart kids.

kakistocracy

[Brit. kack-i-STOK-ruh-see; US kack-i-STAH-kruh-see] the government of a state by its worst citizens. The adjective is kakistocratical. A lovely piece of rhetoric is the 1876 citation in the OED: Is ours a government of the people, by the people, for the people, or a Kakistocracy rather, for the benefit of knaves at the cost of fools?

I would beg to disagree on grounds that realpolitik - politics based on practical concerns rather than theory or ethics - seems to be the current policy of governance under teh arroyo administration.

One of the most famous proponents of realpolitik was Niccolò Machiavelli, best known for his Il Principe (The Prince) (pb.1532). Machiavelli held that the sole aim of a prince was to seek power, regardless of religious or ethical considerations.

sending out these jokes would, i think, help demoralize gma and her lackeys. if there is widespread disrespect and disdain for her then they will realize that it is futile to think that she will recover from this.

sayang nga that consoliza laguardia has reined in bubble gang. michael v would go to town with material like this.

i think somebody should hire one of those roving ad trucks that play music and plug in the Hello Garci ring tone. the truck (or trucks) should go about town and circle government blocks and military camps. her (ex) generals, not being particularly poilitically savvy, patriotic or wise, are giving her false hopes that everything is ok.

gloria, i heard, doesnt read newspapers and the people around her are scared of her. this fear serves as an effective screener that shields gloria from what’s going on. coupled with inept advisers this fear seals the bubble gloria is living in.

Hello (Garci?) How can I get the ring tone? I had it downloaded already to my computer (from this site, in MP3 format) but my problem is how to transfer it to my cell phone (a lowly Nokia 3320). I am planning to send it to friends to shame the GMA administration (a daunting task, considering that GMA doesn’t need a Kevlar bullet-proof vest if ever she visits Iraq. I am very sure all those sharpnel would just bounce off harmlessly, given her ded-ma attitude to what’s going on).

Thanks PCIJ! I got a huge laugh from the Iggy Arroyo joke, how he is now practicing GMA’s voice. I sent the joke to all of my friends, and they too, got a huge laugh. Some even congratulated me for my humor, but of course I told them I got it from you. Keep up the good work.

To all of you guys out there, do not believe what Raul Gonzales is telling. I am a lawyer and I know he cannot put you behind bars by mere possession of those tapes, or even the ring tone (ha ha ha, how desperate!). They could not even charge Ong with that, all they could come up with is inciting to sedition, which even first year law students will tell you, as Homobono Adaza said, will not even hold water!

Thanks!

Quite right. But Machiavelli was counselling the Borgias who were running Florence for an extended period of time. The Prince was his attempt at advising them on how best to wield it. This president does not even know how to use it to keep her hold over those below her as well as her own family. Her’s is the worst type of governance, hence it is not entirely implausible to describe GMA’s goverment as kakistocratic.

I’m quite sure na mapapa-indak rin sa sayaw hindi lang si Gloria at Garci, pati na ang Viva Hot Babe na is Gwen Garci.

If ever a prosecutor, who is trying to make papogi to Boy Wangwang, will try to make a case out of nothing, the proper charge should be– Inciting to GARCI-detion.

Just read in di na Malaya that filipino humour is turning out to be Filipino ridicule.

It could be more, more potent than “the pen is mightier than the sword.”

When Humour is the armor of anger against tyrants
when humour is the dove of hawks who fear the legal criminals
when humour is a masked desire to kill the hydra of the anti christ
when humour is the only recourse of the oppressed,
humour can be worst than a curse to the legion of thieves.

How do you the “hello garci” on your phone?

1. Download the file.

2. Transfer the downloaded file/s from the computer to your phone using either an infrared connection or a USB-to-phone cable.

3. For those whose phones have GPRS/WAP access, point your phone’s browser to http://www.txtpower.org and download it directly to your phone.

4. Once transferred to your phone, the sound file may be used as ringtone for calls or text messages.

Other options

1. Ask for file-transfer from friends who may already have the ringtone. Both your phones should have either infrared or bluetooth connections.

I wish instead of hitting at the government or at anyone, we could suggest how each of us, in our own little way, help the Philippines get back on its feet again. No single entity like a corrupt government or an apathetic citizenry defines what the Philippines is. During times like this, the country needs patriots who will ask themselves what they can do for their country and not what their country can do for them….I personally hate corruption anywhere if the antidote to corruption is available in the drugstore, I would have bought the whole supply. Until that happens, let us give our own little contribution…

Does anyone honestly think that the group of people who would like to replace Arroyo are better? They are hungrier, more vicious, and start from where the incumbent left off with impunity. This is a vicious circle where those in power perpetrate themselves by buying off the masses who have no choice but to grab the temporal material gain being offered to them by those in power during election period. What we can do for now is to break our heads in finding out how the current government can have a paradigm shift, a radical change, a wake up call. This must start somewhere if we need to break out of the vicious circle. For starters, I believe we need to inculcate among everyone the love for country. I have yet to see a korean driving a japanese car or whose cellphone is not a Samsung or anything made in Korea. I hope I will see this happening in the Philippines in my lifetime…

ivi307 with due respect

I think you missed the point. the issue is not who will take over the place of G.ARROYO she has damaged the country and its people more than any leader can ever repeat ever do. During the election, the politiczed sector even said: “Anyone but Gloria.”

The feeling now, not only of the opposition but also of the respondents of the survey who gave her negative 33 per cent performance rating, is that there can be no other other Gloria probably not in a hundred years. If Filipinos get better, because the children of the thieves had also emigrated to other countries, then there will not be another Gloria, not in a thousand years.

Do people honestly think, that noli de castro, ping lacson, JPE, Susan Roces, Frank Driloon, Loren legarda, Erap, etc. etc. etc. can be better than Gloria in maladministration, in destroying decaying institutions. I don’t think so. Could these trapos be worse than Gloria in all that she has done and will probably do in the future? I don’t think so.

God, If I am living the good life now, why change Gloria. If she has caused my good life, if her administration has had no advese effect on me and my family. why rock the boat. I am not in Tondo, not in Payatas, nor am I living along the railroads. Do I honestly believe that we can find somebody with a Phd in Economics to replace Gloria. Of course not. let the Country be damned as it is now.

Your comment lvl307 is so idealistic, why don’t you think about the reality? Bakit di mo kaya tanungin ang saloobin ng mahihirap at ng malaman mo kung gaano kasakit ang nakawan ng karapatan! Hindi ba’t sa panahon ngayon ay halos ang maliliit lamang ang lagi na lamang nayuyurakan? Ang tangi na lamang na sandata ng mga nakararaming maliliit ay ang pagboto laban sa mga tiwali at ganid na opisyal ng gobyerno. Ano kaya lvl307 at isa ka sa mga mahihirap at ang boto mo ay ninakaw? Masarap ba ang pakiramdam mo? Sa mga nangyayari ngayon ay malabo ang gobyerno na makaasa ng tulong mula sa aming mahihirap dahil hindi karapatdapat na tulungan ang mga taong nanlilinlang at mga hunyago. Mapapansin natin ang mga politikong akala mo ay abogado ng administrasyon samantalang ang dapat nilang gawin ay ang bigyan ng linaw ang mga nangyayari sa taong bayan.Katawa-tawa na lamang ang mga Congressman na animo mga magagaling sa batas ngunit sa ipinakikita nila ay mas nagmumukha silang batang ngawa ng ngawa. Hay, Pichay, Nograles, Gonzales, humahanga ako sa inyo noon pero sa ngayon ay naglaho na dahil di ko lubos maisip kung kayo nga ba ay totoong abogado o mambabatas. Buti pa si Chiz Escudero, diretsong magsalita at wala nang paliguy-ligoy pa.

Jay— Gotta agree with your point there. WHO will replace Gloria? I’m not buying Noli de Castro either nor more crooks who are also crooks and who have always been crooks. I mean, if we have a crook now- why replace a nice looking and respectable crook with another who isn’t as nice looking and as respectable-looking. I love Gloria , I can’t say she’s no crook but hey, she’s a clean looking sweet cute crook and the “other” crooks are a LOT more crook-looking. C’mon…. this one is someone we can proud off because she isn’t a hood really… Beides, if we keep replacing one crook with another what good would that do? Gloria is the LEAST of the crooks we have had in the last years… and how do we KNOW that anyone who changes her will NOT be a bigger crook? It’s wither GMA or we better stop having presidents and proclaim all our barangays as independent little republics. I wouldn’t think of replacing GMA.. nope… nada… not because of some tape that isn’t even really an issue because if we started wiretapping ALL the phones of ALL politicians, we might find that there are a LOT more infamous characters than GMA.

san ba mahahanap or saang part (CompleteTape_??) makikita ung Hello Garci na yan??? Thanks po….

true, the tale of the tape being passed around in the form of text/email jokes has social/political undertones. here’s another one:
GMA: Hello garci, so will I STEAL lead by more than 1M?
GARCI: Yes maam. Ginawan ng paraan.
GMA: Ok, ok
GARCI: STEAL there maam?
GMA: Yes. Why?
GARCI: Parang may ibang boses po. Baka wiretapped tayo.
GMA: NA-KAW po! Patay.

to Jobats: huwag mo namang ikahiya ang pagiging Pilipino. Dapat ikahiya natin ang inaasal ng gobyerno sa ngayon. siguro kung wala na ang mga taong iyan at napalitan na nang matitino, we can be again proud. lalo na siguro ang mga bumoto kina gma, nahihiya lalo.

a teacher long ago has told his class, i should not be saying this to you i should be saying this to those who are not here now, but God forgive me, this nincompops are never around. i hope ill winds bring to them this message. Attend your class, you rascals.

and so a while ago, you and me (against the world: song) who write in this pcij wall must ponder while the good nincompops read our pieces the rascals don’t. not with their eyes or ten foot poles.

I am a teen age girl, a collegiala, i drive a honda, hang out sa Glorieta and Greenbelt pa.

Sa amin gate tatlo ang guardia. si dad at ma trabaho sa gobierno tahimik lang sila, palaging sumisimba.

boy friend ko ang tatay naka uniforme barkada niya di tulad ni Aga kung umuwi umaga na.

to be continued kailangan sumimba.

It’s confirmed, it was GMA’s voice! She called him Garci, her brother-in-law - Iggy, her son - Mikey, her ex - Nani, and her husband, Mike – Vicky!!! (Toh).

Eto di ko lang alam kung joke to kasi parang tutoo:

Nakayanan ni Cardinal Sin ang corruption during the time of Makoy, nakipaglaban pa siya and the result - EDSA 1.

Nakayanan din ni Cardinal Sin ang corruption during th time of Erap and the result - EDSA 2.

Pero this time, GOD BLESS HIS SOUL, di na niya kaya. Sobra talaga ang corruption, masakit pa, tinulungan pa nyang malagay sa pwesto etong si GMA. Kaya sabi niya, “sorry na lang GLORIA, di ko ipagpapalit sa yo ang GLORIA na naghihintay sa akin, baka pag sinupurtahan kita sa iba na ako mapunta”

Anong tawag sa mga pagtitipon tipon ng mga kaaway ni GMA - di opposition.

Anong tawag sa mga pagtitipon tipon ng mga kaibigan at advisers ni GMA sa harap ni Ma’am - di “Opo” session. Puro “opo”, yes ma’am, right awa ma’am. Galing nyo boys and girls.

NI crd_web.

ANO BA UBOS NA BA ANG JOKES ? TAPOS NA BA?
KUNG ANG JOKES AT PINOY HUMOUR AY ISANG
BAITANG SA HAGDAN NG PAGBABAGO, TAYO BA
AY NAKALAMPAS NA? NASA TUKTOK NA BA TAYO
NG PAGIWANG-GIWANG NA HAGDAN AT MALAPIT
NA NATING IWASIWAS ANG ITAK NG KALAYAAN?,

PAUMANHIN LANG PO, PERO ITO ANG SINABI KO
TUNGKOL SA JOKES NOONG MAGSIMULA ANG
KOMEDIA, PUEDE SEGURONG IRE-CYCLE:

Just read in di na Malaya that filipino humour is
turning out to be Filipino ridicule.

It could be more, more potent than
“the pen is mightier than the sword.”

When Humour is the armor of anger
against tyrants
when humour is the dove of hawks
who fear the legal criminals
when humour is a masked desire to kill
the hydra of the anti christ
when humour is the only recourse of the
oppressed,

humour can be worst than a curse to the
legion of thieves.

Wala bang mga spoof na pics ni GMA? or any personaly involve sa controversy na ito. Once i’ve seen a picture of GMA/Maui Taylor. Hindi ko na mahanap kung anong web site. Parang yung doctored picture ni FVR before.

Damihan natin ang komentaryo dito. Lampasan natin ang hinihingi ni GMA ke Garci na magiging lamang sa kanyang pagkapanalo. Can we reach more than 1 Million?

ngayon ko lang nakita ang mga replies sa aking comments. Masakit talaga sa kalooban ang manakawan ng boto lalo na Heto ang mga sinasabi ng ilan sa atin:
1) Magbayad ng buwis
2) Humingi ng resibo sa bawat bagay na bibilihin
3) Buy Filipino
4) Wag babuyin ang kalikasan at magtapon ng basura sa tamang lugar.

Masyado bang idealistic ang mga ito? Ilan pa lang ito sa pwede nating gawin. Madami pang pwede. Hindi ba ito kayang gawin ng mga Pilipino? Ano pa ang maari kong gawin kung ako nabubuhay below poverty level at hindi ko pwede magawa ang mga ito? Pwede nyo dagdagan ang mga nakalista dito.
