Tales of the Thai Who Called Filipinos Pignoys

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Filipinos are fast to hate foreigners who they feel humiliate or shame us especially when they curse or call us with names like we are such an inferior race. We don't want to be treated like we belong to the lowest kind of race in this planet. Nobody does! 

Take for instance the so called Thai national allegedly being branded as a racist for calling us "Pignoys" coining the words "pig" and "Pinoys." He called us “low-class slaves” and “wriggling cockroaches” on social media so he's now facing deportation back to his country, or some news say he was transferred to a different branch of Cognizant located in another country. I was disgusted by this man's racist comments. The comments were particularly offensive, not to mention completely false.

Despite a public apology, Koko Narak, otherwise known as Kosin Prasertsri, is still hated by a lot of netizens all wanting a piece of him. “I’m very sorry for what I’ve done to break your heart by posting the racist remarks on my personal Facebook and ASEAN Community page. I really hope that all Filipinos whether in the Philippines and abroad will forgive me for what I’ve done. Since in my deeply (sic) heart I love the Philippines and its people” says the Thai national.

Netizens would comment "Have you seen those cruel comments he had posted? That's more than insult and degrading to the bones of the Filipinos. With his repeated posts in different dates ,it was never his intention to say sorry until he's receiving threats for his life. He's making a beautiful life here but yet he's so insecure about our race. That Thai has no room in our country!"

The Dadbod is In, An Excuse to Get Lazy Eating Right and Going to the Gym

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Internet is at a frenzy with this not-so-new body type that they've branded as "dadbod" or "dad bod" coined from the words "Dad" and "body."

The term has been around for some time already but when people started noticing their favorite celebrities have gone form slim to fat or something in between, many begin to notice and follow the trending topic.

But it's the "something in between" body type that's creating a hype over the Internet, where social media has been the primary culprit, as always, in spreading the new fad.

Some have commented that it's merely a way for some people to justify their lack of muscular or trim physique. Just as how they keep saying "beer bellies" and "love handles" are in, and those biceps, triceps and other hunky muscles with "ceps" at the end are out, being fairly in the middle of everything is now the "in" thing.

Dadbod could not only refer to a man being married. You could all be just sporting the look that most fathers are in due to the lack of time to go to the gym, eat a balanced diet due to budgeting problems, or join sports activities due to the hectic balancing acts between family and work, or business.
