Hep, hep, humarap muna sa salamin bago magsalita ng ganito muli. Gasgas na iyan parekoy!

Did you you do anything for the country? Maybe you’ve just spent most of your times playing brainless games, chatting, gossiping, and drinking at the “kanto”. Well that’s something – but truly unfruitful for the country.

Neeeeexxxxxt pleeeeease! Please, do talk to the hand…

And Noynoyistas are right now making it as a trademark.

how would you know if we have or haven’t done anything significant for the country? are you supernatural or something?

I was toying with several slogan ideas:

“Where I’m from everybody eats kornik.”

“Where I’m from everybody eats isaw.”

“Where I’m from everybody uses a tabo.”

“Where I am from everybody refuses to eat the last piece of food on the table.”

“Where I am from everybody points with their lips.”

bashing is too strong a word. i’m merely expressing my view that the slogan in question is a big showbiz lie. anyway, i like your version better although i would still prefer we do away with all the hero crap at least until we all re-learn what it really means to be a hero. the way we use the word nowadays clearly shows how trivial we treat the concept. lahat na lang hero.?1?

- and saw a shirt with “Get Real, Philippines”, probably i would have thought about blaming them for bringing this upon themselves, considering the clogged drainage system, the geographical grade of the lot and not having to elect politicians who will enforce platforms to support rapid emergency disaster recovery measures. they should help themselves and clean their own mess, and eventually ended up watching them all drown away.

- if instead i saw the slogan that you’re bashing, probably i would have thought that while they could have avoided this and didn’t, it doesn’t change the fact that they are suffering, and they need help, fast. i am not perfect, i am not as strong and as disciplined as you are, mr. author, but may be this time i can do something right, i can have enough will to help those who are suffering, and would have signed up to bring relief goods to severely affected areas, because where i’m from, everyone is a hero.

If the slogan downright pisses you off, may be instead of changing the slogan to Get real, Philippines, which by the way is very ambiguous, why not change the slogan to

“Where I’m from, everyone will be heroes” to set an idealism that will unite us with a common goal while make us feel good without sounding like hypocrites.

I cannot say I agree with your concept of what a hero is supposed to be, but I am hopeful that you will understand in time, on your own. Take care

that’s mr. author to you. : ) : ). seriously, how did this shirt design inspire so many exactly? and inspire to do what exactly? i’ll tell you what. it inspired them to wear a cool-looking shirt. that’s all. i’ll tell you pointbank this hero campaign will not help people regain love of country or self worth or any of that. think about it. this campaign merely glosses over our faults. it denies the fact that we as a people need a lot of improving to do. by characterizing ourselves as heroes we not only ignore the problems that we need to solve we also make ourselves look like fools.

now, i just find it funny that you wrote this “Mark’s logo not only inspired countless others but sureley made them feel that the Philippines is still worth fighting for.” you really do have a loony way of looking at things, dont you? did mark’s shirt really do that. and how exactly do those emo-kids wearing this shirt intend to fight for the country now that they’ve been inspired to do so? print more shirts with pointless slogans?

now this is where you really get stupid. you wrote “There is no progress because people like you continue to bribe the cops, violate the laws and disrespect even the honest officials just because you can! Get a life and try to really be a hero for your country.” are you some sort of elemental with an all seeing eye. how on earth coul you possibly know if i do engage in such things? i have one advice for you hero boy/king manyak@gmail.com. LAY OFF THE RUGBY!
