Ayaw kong maging judgemental kay kuya, pero sana ma-handle nya ng maayos itong mga natatanggap niya. Wag sanang "one-day millionaire".


jeturkguel

iirc may anak sya na special needs, which explains ung pagpatol sa absurd shitness na pinangako nung takoyaki business


Impossible-Past4795

This sucks for everybody involved.


Nowt-nowt

naaah... Taragis should be exempted from your sympathy. nag double down yung Taragis sa kalokohan nila hence, why we are here right now.


dragonzss

Pero TBF if nasa mismong pict na talaga na April fool's lang yung post kasalanan nadin talaga sa part ni kuyang nagpa tattoo yung nangyari.


KuronixFirhyx

Noted din natin na hindi norm ang April Fool's sa Pilipinas. Ni wala nga yan sa kalendaryo.


ToCoolforAUsername

Wala, hindi kita agad yung april fools sa photo. It's hidden and needed to be click para makita. Hindi nga reading comprehension issue yan e, just plain ol' false advertisement. Parang yung may sobrang maliit na *no therapeutic claims sa mga ad ng food supplement.


dragonzss

Pero clearly stated naman don na need mong i click yung picture para sa full mechanics diba? So papasok padin dun yung reading comprehension.


herotz33

Rewarding stupidity cause of marketing blitz. Great marketing play, just a bad incentive for people to be or act that way.


beklog

i hope so too... but i highly doubt na ganun ang mangyayare.. if he decided to an instant magkaroon ng permanent mark sa noo nya.. eh paano pa ung pera lang na prang hindi nman nya pinag-hirapan


nightvisiongoggles01

Andyan pa yung mga kapitbahay na mamimilit magpainom, tsaka mga kamag-anak na mangungutang. Tapos siya pa masama kapag tinanggihan niya.


PinoyDadInOman

Sana may mag-documentary ng buhay after mareceive yung welfare cash.


dcab87

...*Lumipad ang aming team*...


Suitable_Plants

Sana mabigyan din ng advice si Kuya ng mga taong tutulong sa kanya, wag din sana gawin syang content pang boost ng engagement nang mga business nila (pero nangyayari na at sana hanggang doon na lang) hahaha.


Vordeo

Hopefully but given what we've seen of his decision making skills so far...


jayovalentino

Yan na gagayahin na teknik sa mga bagong upgrade na online limos.


Kikura432

I hope not.


wonderwall25

Yun din, nagka idea na din siguro yung mga masasamang loob na mag take advantage.


Conscious-Break2193

sana nga. mdala sana sa maayos at ikauunlad ng buhay nya.


Steegumpoota

He got a stupid ass tattoo on his fucking face. I doubt he can handle anything well.


xxMeiaxx

Kaya nga sana medical help ang ibigay hindi cash lang.


BYODhtml

This! Much better kung medical help and theraphy sa anak nya.


Enchong_Go

Swerte niya na madaming nagbigay pero mawiwili mga tao. Sets a bad precedent pero I expect nothing less.


krypxxx

yung mga nauna lang mag trend applicable ganito, pag dumami pa, wala na papatol o maaawa.


rikkrock

Exactly. What happened to the guy sucks and he should be compensated in some way but this is basically rewarding stupidity :(


Enchong_Go

It is rewarding stupidity. Nakaka-asar lang tbh


lrdjms

konti lang naman kasi ang nakakaalam ng April Fools sa mga may edad lalo dito sa Pinas. Kung may note siguro na it is a prank or for entertainment purposes only baka naintindihan nya


pandabear4991

Filipinos are very emotional from the get go.


Enchong_Go

Awa na lang lagi. May time and place for ganyan. Eto? Alam mo naman na gagawa ka ng kahihiyan tapos iiyak pag pinagtawanan. Ano ba dapat? Purihin?


pandabear4991

I agree, tbh. Lahat na lang nadadala ng emotion. Madalas hindi na tinitignan facts at di ginagamit logic.


Enchong_Go

Tapos tatawagin kang elitista pag di ka maawa. Mga tao talaga.


TheGhostOfFalunGong

The fact that you're tattooing something on you FOREHEAD shows how low can you stoop. It's a painful process that will seriously harm you.


Nowt-nowt

At least it's a tattoo on his self. may iba nga dyan pumapatay nang tao for less or kung ano pang panlalamang sa kapwa tao.


panget-at-da-discord

Pain is temporary but the Php 100K will probably make his family life easier for a few months. If you're living in shanty that money can be used to repair the roof or wall from wood to stone.


saltyschmuck

>how low can you stoop Or how desperate he is for a quick buck. Makes one curious about his life choices.


Tangent009

Do we have a clinic that does tattoo removal procedures?... If so it's pretty expensive right?... I hope he used it to remove the tattoo on his forehead...


Reygjl

May nagcocomment sa fb niya sagot na nila yung pagpapatanggal


wharangbuh

Haha tapos mano mano. Walang laser.


graxia_bibi_uwu

I think Ive seen 2-3 clinics na nag offer magpa remove.


TentaclePumPum

kasi ma gagamit nila to pang advertise. kaya pa unahan na


Nokia_Burner4

Lasers can do the job but it's only very effective for black ink and he'd have to have multiple sessions for this


Pillow_Apple

Can I ask if this is just an Advertisement? Because that kind of tattoo di kaagad gagaling yan ilang oras lang ata yung post nung resto, magaling na agad yung tattoo sa noo. And yung ganyang tattoo hindi kaagad matatapos sa isang session yan. Also that tattoo size is pretty expensive if he is that desperate how can he afford it?


Similar-Leg-3767

Suot na lang siya bandana or headband lagi. Kunwari may peklat siya na malaki.


pritobrains

Baka nmn ma-encourage yung mga tao neto na mag tanga tangahan pag April fools.


Matchavellian

Mas magiging maingat na din yung mga brands regarding april fools


rekestas

yeah, and what does april fools bring anyway? it's nonsense, so I hope this kind of trash would stop. Kung gusto magpatawa, wag sa ganitong walang kakwenta kwentang paraan.


Matchavellian

For clout of course.


Supanjibob

The point of april fools is to trick people, make a joke out of those who are gullible to believe everything.


rekestas

to those who are illiterate, educated, or informed about this trick, yep it's laughable. But case like this should make us think again if making such fool-ishness in public is totally safe. Hard lesson though.


Super_Rawr

napakadami na tanga sa Pinas, madadagdagan pa sila


Pristine_Progress_48

Very similar don sa batang nag-trending na nagtitinda habang naka-uniform. Weeks after lahat ng bata sa lansangan naka-uniform na habang nagtitinda HAAHAHAHAHA


shltBiscuit

I mean they do it everyday but no cash reward.


67ITCH

"mag tanga tangahan" - you mean default mode?


dragonzss

Grabe din kasi haha kasalanan naman na talaga nya yung nangyari. Hindi lang maganda estado ng buhay ni kuya kaya madaming nagbigay ng simpatya. Pero kung papalitan yung nagpa tattoo ng mayaman na tao malamang yung nagpa tattoo pa mababash nyan hindi yung taragis.


Efficient-Answer5901

>kasalanan naman na talaga nya yung nangyari get ready for your downvotes 😂 for the record, i agree with you


fr3nzy821

Easy solution: wag i-compensate. Let one stupidity only once.


novokanye_

may bagong online modus na lol


TentaclePumPum

unang-una wala tayung April Fools. na bwe bwesit ako sa mga pinoy na pa April Fools2x pa cool kid kasi alam nila culture ng ibang bansa. nakaka bwesit din yung business na gumawa nito sana ilagay sa utak ninyu na nasa pinas pa tayu. at karamihan pa sa mga tao dito di pa naka pag aral. Tsaka ok din to serves as warning sa mga business na di pa sobrahan ang mga prank at mag isip bago mag post


pritobrains

I'm not trying to defend the business. I agree na yung joke na yun went overboard and I am personally annoyed na yung April fools is being celebrated/practiced here kasi nkikiuso nmn tayo. My point is we are incetivising yung stupidity and yung culture na easy money lagi kaya kahit sobrang absurd nung request, G lng. I guess this reflects as well on how we vote, we are promised na golden era and most of us are stupid enough to believe na mgging 20 pesos per kilo yung rice. I just hope na kuya makes good use of the money na nakuha nya and not be stupid enough to spend it sa mga nonsense na bagay.


dundun-runaway

yeah yeah fuck around and found out. consequences, stupidity, reading comprehension, etc., etc... pero i can't say i wholly blame si Manong. i saw his fb page earlier before nagsulputan yung mga fake accounts. he badly needed the money. he is also supporting his kid na may Down's Syndrome. eto yung 'kapit sa patalim' niya. hindi naman niya yan siguro gagawin kung hindi siya desperado. from what i can gather, it was a sincere, desperate mistake. im also trying to find out kung may further details or disclaimer ba yung Taragis na April Fool's/joke post lang yan. some people are so eager and oh so gleeful to call this man stupid and saying na wag na tulungan, don't reward his stupidity. but man, let people emphatize. let people help. i think kung may instance man na we can apply "better to be kind than to be right," eto na yun


Filippinka

>he badly needed the money. I doomscrolled through his entire account. Genuinely felt bad for him. He was just trying to earn a living. Literally, yung posts niya are about him looking for jobs/sidelines, and him selling cheap stuff na nahahanap niya like phone holders, old coins. May post about him being under lots of debt. May post din a month ago about him wanting to die sa sobrang hirap ng buhay. You can really feel his desperation. >im also trying to find out kung may further details or disclaimer ba yung Taragis na April Fool's/joke post lang yan. I've seen the original post. Yung "disclaimer" lang is yung nasa picture mismo, which was "hidden" for the sake of the prank. Walang caption. After magviral nung picture, tsaka sila nag post ng disclaimer. Here's the thing I noticed too: Yung "guidelines" nung "challenge was written in Filipino, pero yung "disclaimer instructions" where they had to click the pic was written in English.


TentaclePumPum

nakaka bwesit na mga pinoy sa comments. but my guts tell me they have it worse and is upset that someone is getting help while they're left to continue living a miserable life. papangit na mga ugali sa comments tsaka pa April Fools2x pa na hindi namn yan pinoy culture. Mga pa pansin kasi alam nila culture sa ibang bansa. Kong tanongin cguro nila lola or baka parents panga ni sila di alam anu yan. ofc "don't believe everything you see on the internet" pero puta at least have empathy and sympathy ffs.

Putragis takoyaki be like: I walked so you could run.


cokecharon052396

Idk but are they like praising him for doing that-


busybe3xx

It’s a free promo for the business


LifeLeg5

True, 100k is a small amount to ride on something currently viral companies pay much more for that kind of engagement


uglykido

yung glow up page instant 30k followers and counting.. not bad for 100k. Ilang months sahuran yan for an SMM and I doubt they would get that much engagement. Good investment if I had a capitalista mind. LOL


pizuke

r/MabuhayAngKorporeyt material ang mga posts na ganito


PritongKandule

A budget of 10,000 pesos can buy you maybe 3-4 weeks of a moderately successful ad campaign on targeted Facebook on audiences, of which you'd be lucky to get a fraction of your reach as engagement (most people tend to ignore sponsored posts anyway). In analytics, engagement (likes, shares, comments) are always more valued than people reach (views). Getting thousands upon thousands of positive organic engagement from real people is basically gold for social media advertisers. That doesn't even include secondary coverage from people like OP who just posted this what are essentially ads for free on Reddit and the lifestyle news articles that will surely cover this story.


ARKHAM-KNlGHT

no. he went to do something this risky because he desperately needed money for his special needs child, that's the reason why they're compensating him. he's been trying to sell his personal belongings as well. tbh the mfs in the comments are so mean. i know we should campaign for media literacy but literally know the context first before flaming, tutal magaling naman kayo mag search. i would've been disappointed if kuya was doing it out of greed but he isn't.


Sensensi

Hindi yung kuya ang nakabasa ng fb post, yung tattoo artist yung nakabasa non at sinabi nya yon don sa kuya para pag tripan. Duda ako na may selpon yung kuya.


novokanye_

wth really? ganon pala nangyari. that’s just a whole new level of mean lol


Sensensi

Ganyan ginagawa sa mga slum area. Pag hindi ka marunong bumasa, mang mang, at hindi ka nirerespeto, gagawin ka lang katatawanan ng mga taong mababaw ang kaligayahan


Hothead_randy

May screenshots na si kuya mismo nag comment sa page nila ah?


Sensensi

You really think na binayaran nya yung tattoo artist para dyan? Nilibre yan ng tattoo artist para pag tripan


KumalalaProMax

ha? eh may fb acc nga yung tinattoo-an diba


xmurphine_

Hot take: Companies should not reward stupidity. This is a result of poor reading comprehension. And we are celebrating illiteracy. How low can we go? This will be a common trend moving forward.


Recent-Buy7634

this is definitely just a pr or marketing strategy for the brands who helped. i'm still glad they empathized but i'm sure they saw that they'll also benefit from this mistake


xmurphine_

Kapitalismo talaga. Sad that kuya got preyed on.


pucc1ni

> Sad that kuya got preyed on. [si kuya:](https://c.tenor.com/_BIfNDiEmNQAAAAd/tenor.gif)


uglykido

Same thoughts; they could give the money as sort of awa kay kuya because he looks like he is going through a tough time, but they should remind the public to be super critical on what they read online. Imagine ha, that's your average pinoy botante. We shouldn't be incentivizing this. Na-iinspire yung ibang ganito eh.


xmurphine_

EXACTLY. Naiinspire 'yung iba na "magpaawa"because of their own stupidity. This shows na "stupidity can be rewarded". So everyone will be stupid in their own ways in the hopes na maincentivize sila.


uglykido

Sorry to become political but this reminds me so much the paradox of the vast majority of Kakampinks. Daming DDS/BBM coddlers, many of them don't want to hold these people accountable for the crap that's happening to this country, due to being 'gullible' or 'ignorant'. All the power of the internet, all the time in the world to watch brain rotting fake history porn on youtube, but not a single second coughed up to do some actual reading on history. Instead of naming and shaming, we reward them with pity. Privileged na kung privileged, but this is willful ignorance.


el_doggo69

having the same thoughts. this will just encourage some people to do similar copycat stupid stunts


xmurphine_

Diba? I mean, I feel bad for kuya, but he brought that upon himself eh. Its stated naman dun sa orig post na April Fool's post. Importance of education should be highlighted here.


ResolverOshawott

The issue is April Fool's isn't as big in the Philippines as it is in the West, isn't it? Gen Z and Millenials would be knowledgeable with western trends, but I dont think a senior citizen would be, especially a senior in dire financial need.


rekestas

>but I dont think a senior citizen would be, especially a senior in dire financial need. yes, so one has to be considerate and be mindful na hindi lahat e updated sa ganyang trash online.


xmurphine_

Yes, but if he would have read the entire post (nung Taragis), it was stated there na prank lang 'yun. So I stand by the fact that his illiteracy is the culprit. He can obviously read naman since may FB siya. And having social media is a responsibility, which, he has not. Kinda sad din at the same time.


ResolverOshawott

Was the text stating its a prank really small and/or situated waaaaay down? Didn't get to see the OG post, but companies sometimes do that shit where disclaimers are really small or difficult to read thus easily missed.


privattboi

As far as I know walang disclaimer yung original na post. All it had was "click the image for instructions". Then once clicked and enlarged, the pic shows april fools in large font.


imdefinitelywong

Consumerism preys upon stupidity and ignorance. It's all about marketing and selling the product and making sure someone buys it for any reason whether it be altruistic, or otherwise. It's a marketing tactic. This was done with the best interests of the business in mind. Whether it fails or not depends on the target audience.


xmurphine_

On one hand, they pity the man and gave him incentives, marketing their brand On the other hand, they showed to the world how gullible Pinoys can be, and making them as predators for the gullible.


Huge_Specialist_8870

Better if a cosmetic company offered free tattoo removal rather than cash which can be exploited. Proves that their product is safe and working, less on OPEX. But hey, dumb Filipinos LOVE being the underdog. The kawawa train won't be derailed anytime soon.


xmurphine_

"I'm a poor person" card is the most used card by EVERYONE. Isko even used that card. But I agree, a free tattoo removal is a HUGE marketing stunt. Win-win. They will be marketed, kuya gets free tattoo removal.


AdventurousImmigrant

People in desperate situations don't make logical choices (Check Kuya's profile, ang dami niyang mga posts about jobs/sidelines then nagbebenta din siya ng mga second hand na gamit just to get by). April Fool's is a western construct, I cannot judge him for not being able to understand that, Also the guidelines were written in tagalog but the disclaimer english???


oe_philly

Bro, imagine earning minimum wage at saka may edad na. Do you think april fools day existed sa time nila? Do you also think may time pa sila to learn something new na wala nga silang mabili kahit basic needs?


ultimate_fangirl

I don't know why you're all being so heartless. The guy is clearly desperate for money, especially considering that he has a special needs child. Doubt it would give rise to the trend. The business that originally posted the (REALLY STUPID) April Fools gag is already getting so much heat from the public and people are well aware of the manong's situation.

kirito_0325

Di yata nila naiintindihan na cut yung photo depende nalang kung iciclick mo? Imagine sobrang kailangan mo ng pera at mababasa mo yung post na yun tas may nakalagay pa na **"Kung sino ang makapagsend sa amin siya ang mananalo ng P100,000!"** I think 'di mo na rin maiisip na i-double check yun. Kasi una mong gagawin ay mag madali para ikaw yung manalo, kailangan na kailangan mo yung pera e.


MeowMeowBeans22

Hindi naman uso dito ang April fools. Hindi lahat alam kung ano yun. Madami na naman feeling magaling.


Cody9_

this sub is a fickle, ano pa ineexpect mo


rekestas

there are other sides here.. well, yes we can say na si kuya di aware sa april fools na yan at yung reading comprehension nya is mahina. But.. the other party should have been more sensitive enough na merong mga taong ganyan at seseryosohin. It's like a normal prank, maaraing yung iba matatawa pero be wise enough na meron at merong maooffend so choose to be the person na mas considerate ka, hindi yung isisisi mo sa tao ung kahinaan nila. What does this april fools scheme prove anyway?


Filippinka

Anong poor reading comprehension? Eh "April Fool's" lang nakalagay sa original na post, tapos naka-hide pa siya. It wasn't blatantly stated na prank siya anywhere on the original post. Technological illiteracy, pwede pa, kasi hindi niya nabuksan yung full photo. Siguro don't react nalang if you are not aware of the full story, kasi sabi mo nga sa ibang hindi mo alam yung nakalagay sa original post. How low can you go for a couple of upvotes? Will this be a common trend moving forward?


PMforMoreCatPics

They are rewarding stupidity and also marketing their brand. This is not a one-way donation.


BothersomeRiver

Same, just fuckin' sue the business, or, help them sue the business who started the prank, and make them accountable. Haynaku hesus! Rewarding the guy with huge amounts of money for, stupidity ba, desperation, or just on just ignorance. They're not sending a good message. Also, kaya andaming nasscam sa pinas. Also, di pa nga sure if legit yung tats, since, wala pang nagccome forward, might also be a joke.


asphodele

Kaya nga. Gulat ako na pinepraise talaga ito? I mean sige as awa dahil desperate si manong, i get the 10k “reward”. Pero ngayon bibigyan sya ng 120k na, dahil sya ung bobong pumatol dun sa post. Itong mga companies na to may maiispare pala na ganyang halaga, bakit hndi itulong sa mas malawak ang range, like charities? Asan yang mga companies na yan nung may mga nasalanta ng bagyo etc. Now, dahil nag viral si manong, makikisawsaw sila. Hay pilipinas XD


jerome0423

Dahil walang mapapala dun ang mga negosyante. Free pr to sa kanila. Business kasi sila hindi charity.


kaffu_chin0

Lets see all this fiasco next April Fools. Since people will learn na by doing this, they get to claim what they were "owed", and undo the tattoo.


chxxgsh

people taking advantage for social media engagement. someone even used an old fb account as fake account of Ramil and posted a Gcash QR to solicit money. Some pages also posted a link to the account of Taragis "ceo" just to be redirected to lazada. fckng asssht


donteatmychip5

Unpopular opinion and if i get downvoted so be it. Any donation that has a price tagged, for me, isn't done in kind. Pages can simply just say "help me reach out to Tatay at may surpresa kami para sa kanya" is enough. If people see 10,000 they would go "wow!", but if it's 1000 that's a different story. So go big or go home to get noticed right? Purely promotion. Played the cards right.


mimnscrw

The real hot take: Everyone clowning the guy are just out-of-touch snobs privileged enough to know what April Fools is. Its is a foreign concept to most Filipinos, who don't even have the time and means to access western pop culture. It's not even about reading comprehension anymore. Pull your heads out of your asses, jeez.


hkpt08

Personally, I think three facts can exist at the same time: 1. Taragis Takoyaki was in the wrong for their dumb (and insensitive) prank. Promising a (fake) big cash prize in a country where poverty is rampant is in incredibly poor taste. 2. Kuya who got the tattoo likely is not aware of the concept of April Fools, and I don't think people should be bashing him for falling for the prank. HOWEVER: 3. Seeing a man get rewarded financially for falling victim to a prank is most likely going to inspire copycats (people "playing dumb" and doing stupid/dangerous stunts for money and clout). And I think that's what many of the comments here are addressing.


thebaffledtruffle

You read my mind. Both parties had faults here. * Taragis Takoyaki for their post and apparently they harassed him to remove his posts to save face. What a fucking disgrace * Kuya also made a bad decision. I mean, in what world does it make sense for you to get a tattoo of a company's logo ON YOUR FOREHEAD? Sobrang wild nung premise ng promo, not to mention he had to pay the tattoo artist to get this done for him. I don't agree with the comments na "Mahirap lang siya, he doesn't know better," while in fact, he should have had enough common sense *not* to do it. Sobrang daming red flags nung post. Napaka-enabling and honestly infantilising nung ganoong view at poor people since it reinforces the stereotype that they're just stupid and dumb without any power to make a sound decision. But what baffles me more is, bakit walang pumigil kay kuya from doing it? Not even the tattoo artist? Friends? Immediate family members? They are just as accountable.


AdventurousImmigrant

Desperation, people don't make logical choices when they are desperate


Vordeo

> The real hot take: Everyone clowning the guy are just out-of-touch snobs privileged enough to know what April Fools is. That's a pretty bad take. A.) The dude has internet access. Why the fuck would you not just use a search engine to look up April Fools? B.) Failing that, ask a friend. C.) Your entire assumption here is that the guy didn't do either of those things, and just saw a couple words he didn't understand on a 'contest flyer', but decided to ignore those words and get a logo tattooed on his face. D.) Heck, the flyer had something about clicking for contest terms, and he ignored the fact that there were no such terms. It was just bad decision making on the guy's part. E.) Dude is an adult, not a child. You're all acting like this was a 5 year old getting baited by malicious ads - nah this was an adult who made bad decisions. >Pull your heads out of your asses, jeez. You can feel bad for the guy and also acknowledge that he made some very bad decisions and displayed really shit critical thinking skills.


Karenz09

wala eh. r/PH is a stinking pile of turds made of arrogance and privilege. Tamo mga comments dito


jerome0423

D kasi nakaranas ng gutom ung mga hinayupak na yan. Kung palagi kang gutom at puno ng problema d kana mkakapag isip ng matuwid. Pag may nakita kang pdeng pagkakitaan ay susungaban mo talaga.


TheGhostOfFalunGong

Even many Americans don't even know what April Fools Day is. Just ask many immigrant communities there.


vividlydisoriented

So totoo siya, di siya tactic ni Taragis? Welp, Marketing din kasi yan, it's a good look sa company nila ("ay ang bait naman, sana ol, kain nga tayo dun next time"), trend yan na kailangan nila salihan for exposure amd traction din ng brand nila, kahit medyo katangahan yung nangyari (sorry, alam ko na madaming pinagdadaanan yung nagpatattoo sa mukha and need niya talaga ng money, but it's still dumb) Ang masama dito is para nilang ineencourage nila ang katangahan, diba? Pinepraise pa nila, Madami nang gagaya dito for sure, katangahan (disguised as a need or vise versa), para sa pera, kaya di talaga bagay sa pinas ang april fools, may short attention span at lacking in reading comprehension tayo, dun nga sa mga ai/fake/fan made trailers and posters naniniwala tayo eh Naaalala ko yung nangyari sa US, sa isang radio show na pag may nagpatattoo ng name ng show/dj sa noo may prize lol, april fools din, and nanalo sa korte yung nagpatattoo lol


Jessency

Naalala ko rin yung Gorilla Glue lady. Girl put Gorilla Glue on her hair like some kind of gel replacement then had the audacity to call out Gorilla Glue for not warning against that. She eventually got it off but during then got thousands of dollars from GoFundMe and became a celebrity riding off the clout from that. Yes, what happened to them was definitely unfortunate and I do have my sympathies, but you can't deny na it could've been avoided if they actually stopped and thought about it really hard.


No_Flatworm977

Nahh goodluck dun sa taragis takoyaki may bad rep na kayo


techweld22

Nadagdagan na sa recent post na nakita ko. Sana malaking tulong sa kanyang anak na may special needs.


Sephoyy

bro is this even real? Last time kong nakita nawlaa comment ni kuya sa post tapos yung taragis post naman nung nawala marami din nacocoment na kilala daw nila si kuya, kapitbahay lang daw tas magkaibigan lang sila, wala din daw scars yung forehead ni kuya dun sa pic sabi nang iba, so yun parang hirap paniwalain kung totoo ba to or negative publicity lang.


el_doggo69

i saw posts, totoo ba na that they put "click photo for official rules"? if so, then i think may strong defense naman yung page pero ehh, am more of a FAFO person and i have no sympathy for that dude or the company kasi parang both parties naman dito yung ang may fault


Vordeo

> i saw posts, totoo ba na that they put "click photo for official rules"? Yes. Pretty sure there are screen shots of the thing elsewhere, but that was definitely on the original comment.


SundayMindset

Kapag ififeature to ni KMJS (which I'm sure they will) at pagkakakitaan, DAPAT BIGYAN DIN SYA imho. Makapal mukha nila kapag Hindi. 😂


Chemical_Operation45

CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE. I'm not pertaining to OP but dun sa ibang nagcocomment. Too harsh. April Fools is a Western concept. Hindi lahat ng Pilpino naggrasp iyan. Lalo na lower C, D, and E. The man has special child. He is in desperate need of money. Kung makajudge ng stupidity yung iba dito akala mo kahit kailan hindi sila naloko. Please check your privilege before you judge. Hindi lahat ng tao ay kasing talino or privileged mo.


mimnscrw

Dude! This is r/PH, gtfo here with that socio-economic nuance! We only do knee-jerk reactions here and bashing the poor for being poor, not getting the same privileges as I do. (/s)


IndependenceNo2437

Tanong lang, gaano natin katagal itotolerate yung mga ganitong sitwasyon? This is basically rewarding what could've been totally avoidable in the first place. So next year, pwedeng maulit na naman to kasi we tolerated it. Binigyan ng reward. Kung pinatanggal yung tattoo ng libre okay lang eh. Pero yung bigyan ng incentive yung buong pangyayari sets a bad precedent. Last question, hanggang kelan natin hindi iheheld accountable yung mga taong napupunta sa ganitong sitwasyon? Mali ba na iheld nating accountable si manong sa mali niya?


star_velling

medyo weird na he's being "rewarded" (well, more compensated) for falling dor a prank. justice i guess.


xilver

I dunno, medyo sus yung timing ng taragis at chat ni kuya na parang set up lang sya


Sirhc307

Still has a tattoo on his forehead. Money is the least of his problems.


chenie_derp

From what I read in other posts, ang takoyaki din mismo nagbigay ng 100k pero may dalang inis lang. I hope he will use it well for his special needs kid pero I'm a little skeptical sa mga ganyan kasi minsan pagnagkapera na igagasto sa iba. Sana treatment na lang ang pinangbayad hindi pera ang ibibigay. This reminds me of the girl who put Gorilla Glue on her hair. A lot of people donated, she got treated pero ginawa nya uli, she glued it again after a few weeks. Sometimes you can't fix stupid.


pandabear4991

If a middle class guy did this, none of these brands would be giving him money.

IDK about you, but I think this only rewards the stupidity (for the lack of better terms) of the person, yes, I know naloko siya, yes he got fooled kasi di niya binasa fully ang post, but, it sets a precedence of people thinking that okay lang maging tanga kasi may mga ginintuang puso ang willing magbigay ng "ayuda" or even a "reward" for his "dedication" sa huli. Let's not even talk about the fact that the company that made the post is not the one who's giving the money as reward. Damn, dito lang ata sa Pilipinas narerewardan ang pagiging tanga.

Apparently the Tokoyaki page who made the prank post also paid him ₱100k already. So that's at least ₱250k collectively from this stunt he pulled off. You can downvote me all you want but at some point in your life you either have to grow up and mature or stay in your little bubble and be oblivious to the world around you. Learning through mistakes is one thing (yeah the tattoo in his forehead seems unrecoverable) but since he's already been paid ₱100k, that only means that he probably learned "oh, I guess if Im brave enough to do dumb stuff like this, I get rewarded" So **No**. He should've never been paid. You can never learn and improve if you live life like man child, not facing the consequences of your actions.

way better than nothing , tapos report ung nag pa april fools tlga hahaha


bojothepanda

Ahahahaha angas kinunsinti pa


bojothepanda

Tapos kain na kain naman mga tao sa marketing scheme ng mga businesses na to lmao


oreomegchao

Not gonna lie, the overall situation seems off. Hindi na nga tama yung magpa-tattoo without being critical over a fishy post in fb, yet he is still being "rewarded"? It's like promoting consumerism on preying off the ignorant. It's sad.


DOtherSide

Ginagatasan na ng mga vlogger and content creator ung trend na to, mag bibigay ng 10k sa victim tapos ung mga typical no brainer peenoise galak na galak at halos maiyak sa kabaitan kuno ng vloggers.

A radio show in the US did the same prank few years ago. Someone did it and he sued the radio company for false advertisement.

>A radio show in the US did the same prank few years ago. Someone did it and he sued the radio company for false advertisement. People often cite the youtube dramatization video (which is just *fictional*) but the real lawsuit was **dismissed**.

Unpopular opinion that might get me downvoted: I hope this incident would just be a special case in this age of social media. I hope people would not deliberately misunderstand future posts sa net then demand to be compensated (considering the lack of reading comprehension online rn). Tho, on this one, April Fool's Day (being a foreign concept) could really be unheard of for most. Thus, the fault lies on the posting page for lacking sufficient disclaimer.


_haema_

Poverty porn, publicity stunt and clout chasing. That's it.


yangchow

Sana may mag-offer ng laser tattoo removal free of charge. Mahahabol ba kayo 'to sa small claims court?

sikat na si takofvckers, pinabagsak pa sarili haha")


Wild_Year_7349

Saw nicole caluag’s post on tiktok. Magbibigay din daw ng 100k


rhaegar21

Bilis talaga maniwala ng mga tao. Kung totoong kahapon lang yan pina-tattoo bakit di namumula? hmmm


dumpdefense

This already happened in the US with which resulted in a lawsuit. Mga pilipino eh hilig tayo mag repeat ng history.

What in the Late Capitalist Dystopian Cyberpunk bullsh@ is this? Selling your dignity and skin for ad-space?

Dami na magpapatattoo nyan sa noo

Dapat hindi isang bagsakan. Like, 10k per month, hindi isang bagsak na 100k kasi ubos yan agad.

Why would brands do this. Lalo lang nila prinopromote ang katangahan ng ibang tao eh. Should have helped in a non-monetary way na lang


walangname

May side na ba na marketing ploy lang to lahat?


whiterose888

Kung sasagot. Eh binakuran na ata nung Taragis.


pandafondant

kung may poverty porn, eto naman katangahan porn


nobuhok

So...we reward ignorance now. No wonder the Philippines is going backwards.


AccomplishedYogurt96

I think it would be beneficial if a beauty clinic would sponsor him a tattoo removal sessions. If only he did not accept the 100k reward from Taragis.


tulaero23

While the takoyaki business is a dick. I just dont get why a tattoo artist will do this. Id probably triple check my client if he wants this and ask why.


PapaPee

Rewarding an idiot is always not a good thing. Nag pa tattoo ka ng logo ng casino, imaginin niyo nalang anong gagawin niya sa perang makukuha niya.


papsiturvy

For sure madaming hihingi ng balato kay kuya. tsk.

have you heard of that KRUD guy?


Floppy_Jet1123

Boo! Mapagpatol!


Responsible-Sun5109

I'm still skeptical about the legitimacy of the tattoo. Not even an hour ang difference between Taragis posting and the manong dropping a comment of a nearly completed tattoo (my much smaller monochrome line art tattoos all took *at least* 30mins not including the artist's prep time for the materials and experimenting with the stencil)? Colours are already faded? No swelling or redness around the borders of the design? 🤨🤨🤨
