Creator of the legendary Pugad Baboy comic strips, Pol Medina, Jr., has been fired from making comics for the Philippine Daily Inquirer because of this comic strip:
I find it so crazy that he’s getting let go because of this! Here are the reasons why it’s stupid:
- Pugad Baboy is not only a funny comic strip, it’s a social commentary on Filipinos! Maganda nga na nabubuksan ang mga mata ng mga kababayan natin at napapaisip kung tama o mali ang “nakasanayan na” nila.
- I can’t find any lies here.
- It’s not the first time this specific strip has come out (pun intended) on PDI.
- Hardcore Christians say stuff about homosexuality being a lie from the devil and this comic strip gets people outraged?
- Pag maraming pinapagbawal, mas nagiging rebelde ang bata. I speak from experience. Sa Assumption Antipolo, even a simple thing like the color of your ponytail holder kailangan blue, red, black or white ONLY. NAKAKALOKA. ANONG CONNECTION SA PAG AARAL?? Simplicity?! Eh paano kung gift sayo ay puro pink na pangtali at wala ka nang budget pangbili ng bago? I must say, marami talagang close-minded na exclusive schools. Ang daming bawal noon sa Assumption. Ang dami ring lesbian. Eh ano ngayon? Sorry. Ang haba nitong number 5. Personal experience lang. Pag may mga cha-cha dance chorva kami for a program edi pinapag-partner partner pa kami ng teachers so nag-iintrigahan ang students and nagkikiligan kasi may holding hands involved sa dancing. Napakawaley.
- Sorry off topic pero may galit talaga ako sa Assumption dahil they asked my sister to transfer schools because of her Modess commercial. Hindi nga siya artista eh, commercial model lang siya nun. Ang sabi sa family ko okay lang na lumabas sa TV kung educational or something, basta wag bastos or mga beer commercial DUH. Kung may mga greetings for my dad sa Eat Bulaga baka pwedeng wag nalang daw. ANYAREH?! Hindi pwede mag happy birthday sa TV?! Kasalanan ang paglabas sa TV? Hindi educational ang napkin commercial? Hindi lahat ng babae nagkaka-period? SIMPLICITY?! NAG-ARAL BA KAMI PARA MAGING MADRE?! Chos. Di ako galit. Joke lang yung all-caps para mag-LOL kayo. But I’m sure yung mga Assumptionista umiiyak, “OWEMJEE, why is she so galit with our school?!” (Chos again, alam kong hindi ganun magsalita mga taga AA.) Cino-correct ko lang na hindi na-kick out si Maxx because pinanindigan namin na walang mali sa pagtulong sa finances ng pamilya by making a napkin commercial. Tinapos niya ang school year amidst bullying from high school girls na mga inggit at pangit. We transferred schools and sued AA for not undergoing due process. They called her to the principal’s office and made her cry instead of sending a letter to her parents. She was in 7th grade, I think. Very Jesus ang peg ng mga madre, noh? Not. Love you, Maxx. We won the trial, by the way.
- Hindi ako galit sa mga madre at pari. Galit ako sa mga holier-than-thou na hypocrites.
- Bakit nag-run yung strip kung sobrang offensive siya, di ba dapat chineck muna ng PDI?
- Pol Medina Jr. has a “consPIGracy” theory that he has been fired over anti-Marcos strips that he has submitted recently. This lesbian strip was run again (after its first appearance in March) as an excuse to fire him.
Yun lang. I have read all your books, sir Pol Medina, jr. It’s PDI’s loss, not yours. Have a nice day.
Edit: Pol Medina, Jr. wrote on his Facebook page, “What? Wait… hindi pa pala ako fired. Suspended lang hanggang magkaroon ng consensus na sipain ako. Pero…doon din siguro ang punta no’n. Sigh.”
