Gotta love Tubero signs!
...and all those other signs that are sooo Pinoy. I saw Marc Logan's feature in TV Patrol World just a few moments ago. It was totally hilarious!
No other sign found anywhere else in the world would have said it better than Bawal Umihi Dito or Bawal Magtapon ng Basura Dito. Oh, and what about Bawal Magtapon ng BASORA Dito?
There was another one that said BAWAL NANG PUMITAS NG TALBOS DITO: Kung sino ka mang pumipitas dito, blah blah blah... Basta, it was so madrama--it was more like a suicide letter!
Marc also showed the evolution of the typical Tubero sign usually found on postes from those bearing Filipino names to those bearing imported names like JR, Josh, etc. Haha, I agree. Imagine how hilarious it would be to see this posted on the nearby poste:
JOSH
486-9515
in contrast to the usual
TUBERO
JUAN
486-9515
Diba?
Haaay. I just love Pinoy culture. It's so amusing yet so endearing. I can totally relate with all those jolog stuff. I guess I should take Pan Pil 17 (An Introduction to Filipino Pop Culture) next sem too. ;)
Well, what do you know. The spirit of nationalism has possessed me again despite our current political condition. Must. Stay. Inside. ;)
