Subtitled “What blogging got me into.” LOL.
So, in the spirit of Sir Yuga’s welcome post to people who watched his interview via Mel&Joey, I’d like to welcome those who were able to catch me make a little fool of my self with my so many backles and tongue twisters in Manolo Quezon’s ANC show The Explainer.
To those looking, here is the article–the main culprit–that led me to become the Explainee of this evening’s episode. And you’ll find here my article condemning Frat-Related violence in UP. Also, Arbet makes a very comprehensive list of the Pinoy Blogosphere’s reaction to Cris Mendez’s senseless death.
Let’s all push further to seek justice for CA. Every move counts. END FRAT-RELATED VIOLENCE NOW!
Will (have to) make a more well-thought-out article about the whole experience in a later post. Right now I’m still trying to breathe in the experience. Haha.
Here’s a little preview:
I have a very bad case of scolio. But I just don’t know it yet. LOL.
I’ll upload the video once I get my hands on my copy of the episode so other people can watch (and laugh at all my mistakes. LOL).
To those who weren’t able to catch this episode about Fraternities, there will still be a replay on Saturday, September 15, at 10 o’ clock in the morning.

Well done, hijo. Hehe. It seemed spontaneous to me.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
Thanks Kuya Benj! Well, some of it was spontaneous. Too spontaneous that I honestly didn’t know where to look for my answers! LOL.

As a mom of 2 boys (age 22 and 17 now), I was interested to watch that episode, and I have been a fan of that program since I resolved to watch more informative shows.
I cannot imagine the pain of parents whose children died because of hazing, more so because it seems that the victim willingly put himself in such a situation notwithstanding he might die and leave his parents shocked, angered and grieving.
This is very tragic indeed, not only for the grieving parents but for all of us who worked hard for a good education for ourself and for our children, in the hope of making this country a better place.
Btw Jm, you did very well on that episode, congrats!

@Baklang AJ Wahahaha salamat. Buti pala walang masyado nanood ng live, mas kakabahan kasi ako. LOL.
@mimi we should have more people like you who strive to watch more informative shows. The Explainer is only one of very few shows today that aims to shed light on issues that appear peculiar to some.
For sure CA’s parents really are grieving. I’ve heard his father can’t even believe he died of hazing. True, it is very tragic. But what we do to bring justice to CA will definitely help not put his death in vain.
Thanks for visiting po! =)

September 12th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Congrats! TV personality ka na rin pala gaya ni Benj. Haven’t watched it yet and also waiting for the YouTube version.
Being nervous is normal especially since this is your first time to be on primetive TV, right? Atleast you learned something from it and I’m sure you’ll do better next time.
September 12th, 2007 at 9:30 pm

Oh btw, I know someone who wants to be an Explainee. Ayun o, si Commenter#1. Benj ata ang pangalan. Madalas magparinig yan, hehe. Tsaka suki na yan ng ABS Studio 6! LOL. =P
September 15th, 2007 at 12:18 pm

September 15th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
LOL I’m sure Kuya Benj will be more than thrilled to guest on the show. =)

Galing mo sa “The Explainer” last Tuesday! I really enjoyed (at the same time learned a lot from) the Episode. Don’t worry, you don’t look like a fool there.
I am recently a college student, and I can say that fraternities are getting more and more inhumane. What’s the point of brotherhood, when they tend to indirectly “kill” the one who seeks that? Clubs and groups are there to help in an individual’s development, and not to take away the individual’s future.
We should not wait for another Cris Mendez to die due to Hazing. It’s time for us to change the norms.
September 16th, 2007 at 12:40 am
*i think i posted nearly the same thing last tuesday. at parang nagiging suki na ako ng blog mo. nyahaha!
September 16th, 2007 at 4:59 am
@Dane haha onga you posted nearly the same comment sa About page ko. In any case, let’s do everything we can to prevent it from happening again.
Guess what, I’m gonna do an article on fraternities and hazing for my quarterly magazine assignment. Haha!
September 17th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
tama ka. pasensya na. (nahihiya na tuloy ako. nyahaha!)
sana umabot ang publication niyo dito! (i think we receive your school paper here.)
September 18th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
@Dane san ka ba? Haha talaga umaabot ang Kule jan? Congrats naman! =)
September 18th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
Hindi ako sure. I’ll ask our publication. Maybe, kasi we receive publications from Manila. Titignan ko kung nandoon.
September 19th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
@Dane Ah I see… from where do you hail from ba?
September 19th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Cebu. (I’ll check it in our office, o baka hindi kami tumatanggap.)
September 28th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
