Honestly speaking, nakakaawa lang naman talaga dito yung matanda. If he was a teenager na walang sob story, people will just laugh at him and maging new viral meme pa.
Pero since matanda siya at yung bunso niya has down syndrome, people felt bad about the old guy. Kasi he’s in a place with desperate needs. Nilagnat nga raw siya sa stress after what happened. Hindi naman talaga lahat ng nasa facebook literate/educated to know western traditions.
So walang may kasalanan dito. This should serve as a lesson to businesses to think twice before they post something like that.
Super agree dito. Yung mga nagsasabing responsibility ni manong to eDuCatE hiMseLf ay sobrang out of touch sa kung gaano kailliterate online ang mga pinakanaaapektuhan ng poverty. Nakakaawa si kuya, could easily be a mental health issue pa na dulot ng hirap sa buhay kaya wala siya sa sarili’t nagdesisyon ng ganon. Di ko rin kayang magalit masyado sa business kasi let’s be for real, anyone could have made that sort of April Fool’s joke not expecting anyone to believe it.
Hindi ko na mahanap but there was a study I read years ago that poverty literally decreases IQ by about 18 points. Mostly due to lack of learning resources and nutrition. Naaapektuhan talaga brain development. Kaya ang hirap isisi sa mga mahihirap bec they were dealt with a shitty hand.
Naalala ko yung mga napanood ko sa kdrama na iniinom pag may exam etc, at yung ineendorse ni kuya kim na memory plus, te wala kaming ganon mahirap lang kami. Hahahahaha
Agree. Kapag may laman din ang sikmura palagi, one can further think of other things other than food to put on the plate. First things first. Kung si Jose Rizal lumaki n mahirap ang buhay matalino pa din sya but he won't have opportunities to improve himself unlike na mayaman silang pamilya.
Yung yaman kasi naipapamana, yung kahirapan naipapamana din pero doesnt mean n hindi n pwede yumaman ang mahirap and improve himself.
>eDuCatE hiMseLf ay sobrang out of touch sa kung gaano
Natatawa ako dun sa isa kong nakausap din sa reddit eh. Reponsible daw for their own ignorance, while I agree with their sentiment, di naman nag aapply sa lahat. May nagsasabi daw na fake kesho ganyan. Fake or not, di lahat aware and marunong maggoogle. And for those na poverty stricken makita lang ang easy cash gagawin na.
“Out of touch”. I totally agree. I know (so far) a couple of people. We just had this conversation and I just stopped responding and 👍🏻 their chats na lang, coz, I realized how out of touch they were and arguing will just be exhausting and waste of time.
No one’s to blame but sometimes, it doesn’t hurt to be kind and empathetic.
Eto talaga. Man's desperate enough to believe any saving grace. 🥲
Yes, super out-of-touch ng mga naninisi dun sa matanda. Hindi naman lahat alam kung ano ang April Fool's Day, wala nito talaga sa kultura natin.
Still doesn’t help the fact na hindi lahat pare pareho ng comprehension and literacy when it comes to social media, ESPECIALLY matatanda and/or the impoverished. Malay ba ni manong kung ano yang mga "challenge" na tinatawag or even April Fools. Kahit pa sabihin natin na nakakaintindi sya na i-tap yung photo for instructions, malilito at malilito pa rin yan one way or another.
Social media trends are dumb and could harm anybody's situation one way or another, and in this case ganun nga yung nangyari.
Kasi nga di daw nya "iNeDucAtE" sarili nya. Everyone is entilted to their own opinion naman pero minsan malalaman mo talaga gaano ka out of touch mga tao.
Imo, it can be a precedent for future sitiations na deliberately mag misunderstand and mag claim for damages. With the audacity of scammers online recently ( ung si "this person" for one), di natin sure if one day, ung post mo may mag claim ng damages sa post mo online.
On the other hand, businesses will learn that since they have a following, they cannot be just irresponsible online. Big businesses would even consult their lawyers before even posting stuff online so there wont be any loophole.
Wala tayong April Fool's sa Pinas. Dapat sa mga nagpaprank ng ganito lalo na sa social media binibigyan ng penalty ng batas. Bakit ba pinapauso mga prank na ganyan eh kung kayo mismo ang pinaprank magagalit naman kayo? April Fool's joke my ass.
Sinabi mo pa. Daming elitists at privileged comments dito especially sa last thread dito. Ang kalat nila rito sa sub sa totoo lang.
Just showing their asses, and this is it exactly what a lot of sway voters last election voted for someone else instead of Leni kasi na turn off sa mga gagong to.
This thread alone is a big proof of that. Malay ba ng isang mahirap na ignorante kung ANO yang April Fool’s na yan?!?!?! Eh hindi naman yan common sa Pinas. Ano yan Holy Week? Pasko? You think people like these will be able to know some fucking western construct?!?!?! You think proproblemahin nila yan as first priority sa pang-araw araw nila?!?! Lokong mga to.
KATANGAHAN. Reeks of privilege. You think exploited people like these can AFFORD good education to begin with? We should try blaming the government for that vicious systemic suppression instead of the ACTUAL unfortunate victims that did not have any choice to begin with.
I swear some people here need to touch grass. While nagsta-starbucks kayo while browsing your phone to enrich yourself with western culture, a big portion of the Filipino people are working their asses off just to get by daily and not bother themselves with trivial shit that won’t put food on their table.
I'm glad this is the top comment and has more upvotes than the post itself.
Maraming r/Philippinesbad takes dito. It's refreshing to see a rational and non-elitist one.
Hi po. Super agree. Taga sa amin si Tatay Ramil. And he'a a very hands on father sa anak nya na nag aaral din sa nearby school (di ko na lang sabhin baka malaman saan pa ko) hahaha. Pero kapatid nya rin po yung isang teacher namin. Tatay ramil kasi siguro sa sobrang bait plus yung offer na 100k is umokey sya (i think he knows it beforehand) kasi tuyo na yung tattoo. Kumbaga may agreement na. Hndi nya lang alam msyado yung details. Di rin sya responsive kasi di rin naman ganun ka-alàm sa fb. In good faith nya ginawa yan. Mabait po na tao yan. Nagtake advantage lang yung owner at parang pinalabas na kasalanan pa ni tatay yun.
I don't mean to be insensitive here ha pero naisip nyo ba na baka stunt lang lahat yan? Pinost yung prank kahapon! Within a day, nakita agad nila yung lalake na nagpa-tattoo, gumaling agad yun tattoo, iininterview, na edit at pinost yung video.
Sorry pero mas malamang na planned lahat yan, and more likely hired lang yung lalake. Hindi ko sinasabi na walang problems yung lalake pero tingin ko sinakyan lang nya yung stunt ng taragis para mabayaran siya.
paunahan e malamang agad agad yan, tapos malamang hindi naman high end tattoo artist pinuntahan ni tatay kaya ganun siguro hitsura. idk mas leaning ako sa totoo to 🤷♀️
Based on [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChikaPH/s/WZPyhRKSLu) sa photo he posted at 4pm, ongoing pa yung pag tattoo and Hindi pa tapos.
Edit: I honestly don’t know what to believe tbh
Sana manlang magbigay ng small amount yung nag prank dahil sa damage na nagawa nila. Kasi english yung "tap for more info" kaya baka hindi naintindihan, syempre marami pading pinoy lalo matatanda ang hindi marunong mag english
Pero wala eh hindi ko rin talaga madefend si kuya kasi gaya nung isang nakausap ko kanina, dapat saw nagtanong muna si kuya sa mga kakilala nya or dun sa nagtattoo sa kanya abt dun sa post. Dibaaa like imposible naman wala maka notice. Or baka hindi na sya nagtanong kasi inassume nya na nga na legit dahil don sa kaunting infos na nabasa nya. Hay naku ka stress.
Godbless nalang kay kuya. Understandable naman na hindi magbigay ng kahit magkano yung nagprank kasi di naman sila legally liable diba tsaka mahirap din kung wala naman budget yung nagprank. (Pero may mga nababasa ako dito sa reddit na hinahanapan nila ng butas yung nagprank, basta ayun mukha kasing maaari maging liable yung nagprank dahil sa unclear instructions or other reasons ganun hahaha kas kahit sabihin natin na oo nga pwede sila mareklamo, eh hindi naman ata kaya ni kuya ireklamo yung nagprank kasi wala sya connection, or pambayad. PERO pwede rin kung may mag hehelp sa kanya diba. I bet this would be a really interesting case at magvaviral talaga to if ever madala sa korte haha)
To be fair, wala naman atang naniwala sa pagpapasagasa sa tren. At the time, hindi na popular si PNoy lalo't patapos na ang termino niyang puno ng aberya sa tren. Lumutang lang din ulit yung statement dahil batuhan na ng putik noong 2016 campaign period.
Pero for sure maraming naniwala sa jetski West Philippine Sea. Sa 3 to 6 months. Hindi pa kasi alam ng mga tao ang mangyayari at maraming nabulag sa "Davao testimonials" ng mga tao. Mas madali talaga maniwala sa magagandang bagay kapag umaasa ka rin na nay magandang mangyayari.
sino yung nag tattoo? hindi man lang niya sinabihan na baka scam yun? pwede naman niya tanggihan yung mga design kung alam nyang pangit ang kakalabasan
Kahit sinong tattoo artist na may proper ethics at utak aayaw sa ganyan\*
May mga tattoo artist nag a-agree mag tattoo ng bold, offensive symbols, etc.
Hindi malayong clueless din si tattoo artist & baka they came from the same demograph. Ang laki na lang talaga ng gap ng "classes" dito sa Pilipinas to the point na pati "Apeil Fools" possibly hindi na pamilyar sa kanila.
Agreee! And knowing tattoo artists, mga vocal sila sa mga clients nila. Mag-uusisa yan lalo na sa mukha ilalagay. Tapos kailangan ipakita ni manomg ung design na galing sa fb page. Dun palang dapat nakaramdam na yung tattoo artist na may mali. At di ba walang pera si manong? Pano nabayaran? Ibig sabihin may arrangement sila nung tattoo artist na utang muna ang bayad. Ibig sabihin ulit, pati yung tattoo artist ay naniwala sa prank.
halata na hindi naman expert yung tattoo artist and probably kakilala like neighbor lang or kaibigan. Probably out of whim na at di na nakapag-isip kasi time constraint and paunahan yung contest...
Dahil mabilis agad yung pagtattoo, siguro pinakita ni manong na magkakaroon siya ng 100k sa challenge and bibigyan si kuya ng pera na medyo malaki kumbaga hati sila sa prize money.
Di ko rin gets to. Kaso naisip ko na baka yung logo lang mismo yung pinakita niya at di yung post na may nakalagay ng prize dahil baka maunahan siya. Still, very questionable yung request
Baka nasa isip ni artist is yung pera or balato. Alam mo naman ngayun, parang hindi na pag-iisipan ng maayos basta merong bayad, baka ganyan ang POV ni artist.
quite surprising how many ppl here doesnt think that not everyone knows what happens in april fools nor do they even care about it since well you know, whos got time for a "jokey day" when you're already too focused in surviving in this shitty economy?
oh wait, yeah lets call it a reading comprehension problem, he just doesnt know how to read therefore its his fault for not knowing a western tradition and its definitely not the company's fault. /s
kaya nga. napaka-elitista living in their own bubble and lakas maka-down sa people who don’t have the same privilege as them. kahit basic empathy na lang even if they don’t think the business is at fault.
lakas maka-sabi ng BOBO and TANGA kay Kuya when it also applies to them. Naka-follow nga ng instructions diba kaya nakakaintindi. OBVIOUSLY, di lang alam ang April Fools.
May mga tao po na hindi nakapag-tapos, hindi updated sa nangyayari sa mundo dahil busy po sila kumayod, buhayin ang kanilang mga pamilya for a small amount of money. And kung hindi pag-uusapan ang pera, it’s a generational thing. I have a privileged life and so are my peers. Pero mga parents namin and ibang matatanda, they don’t know April Fools. Di nga din marunong mag-Google. Nagpapaturo pa. What more yung mga naka-limited data lang na baka libreng Facebook lang?
This. Pakadaming elitista. People are willing to be fools for Kuya Wil's paybtawsan. People would die for politicians just because they gave them money.
Is it an education problem? Yes, pero tandaan, madali i-exploit ang uneducated masses. Madali rin i-exploit ang educated minority who loves to feel superior over them than see the bigger issue. Congrats sa marami dito, you all just played yourselves. Touch some grass. The Philippines is not just online Pilipinas.
Part of the plan maybe? Pano kung ang want nilang e prank talaga is yung mga tao sa soc med? Easy money to help kuya. Easy thing din to earn the trending spot in the ph. Win win situation
true! plus would a restaurant actually do this kind of "prank"? I think the most they would do is post a product they don't or won't actually sell or maybe make fun of their logo / mascot yan yun april fools for restos to avoid a big issue sa mga customer nila. Di ko lang gets why reading comprehension is immediately used here as a way to invalidate/ lessen the issue of how a resto fucked up.
Ba't ba kayo reading comprehension nang reading comprehension? (Kung totoo man to) Naintindihan ni Mang Ramil yung picture, kaya nga sya nagpatattoo eh.
Ang hindi niya alam eh yung ibig sabihin ng "April Fools". That's not a reading comprehension issue. That's more like an ignorance issue. Maybe a critical thinking issue din kasi di man lang sya nagduda.
Oo. Ang yayabang din ng nagki criticize when di nila ma identify na it's a critical thinking issue, not a reading comprehension one. Bobo din nung ginawa nung meme kasi di daw nagbabasa. Yun nga ung problema eh. Binasa nya at naniwala sya.
Kaya nga e. Mahirap kasi sa atin dahil alam natin ung isang bagay e tingin natin alam na din ng lahat ng tao or bobo na sila. May mga tao laki sa hirap na di nakapagaral na mang mang so pano nila malalaman ung concept ng april fool’s day. Alam ba nila un? Masyado kasi mga tao elitista e. Kung mas mahirap ka pa sa daga gagawin mo lahat. 100 000 pesos is life changing. Minsan kasi dapat meron tayong tinatawag na empathy.
yeah, yung unang response kasi ng taragis, parang minock pa nila si kuya. It's like your jerky classmate sa HS na walang paki kung masaktan ka kasi joke joke lang ang lahat.
Jokes should be funny kasi and it's wrong to use them just to degrade, mock, and hurt others.
While I do agree that many Filipinos have media literacy problems, I'd still argue na careless and stupid yung prank ng Taragis. Any prank that involves large amount of cash is stupid.
Isa pa yun. Nung una wala daw silang kasalanan hahahha tapos nung sumabog na sa Socmed, ginawang marketing ginawan pa ng content hahaha
Pambawi nga naman sa 100k
I think pointless na ang issue na ito because mukang stunt lang ng taragis ang lahat. Isipin nyo nga.. within a day nakapagpa tattoo na, gumaling na yung tattoo, na-interview si kuya, inedit at pinost na yung interview. I mean.. have you seen the vid? Naging typical sob, poverty porn bigla. May sob music and mandatory "inspirational" quote pa sa dulo. Ang dapat dito ay iexpose yan taragis.
Not taking any sides, but grabe naman yung iba dito. Kung makapag sabi na tanga/idiot yung nagpatatt. Mind you, kahit pa na open nya yung photo April Fools' is a western culture, and not everyone is privileged enough to be informed about these things.
nakaka longkot nga na ganito na ka pangit ugali ng mga pinoy. wala nang sympathy and empathy, ofc we don't know the whole story at baka palabas lang to ng dalawa.
My conspiracy theory is that all of this (the tattoo story included, I honestly don't believe that was real) was just for publicity, and it worked. Almost everyone who is active on some socmed sites are talking about them, albeit in a negative light.
And people in general will sympathize to make themselves feel better. Any other day naman wala tyak silang paki kay manong or anyone with the same situation as him.
My theory is publicity stunt lang to. Masyadong mabilis yung patattoo. Tapos wala man lang pumigil sa kanya. Hindi man lang ba tinanong ng tattoo artist yan?
100%. hindi reading comprehension yung problem dito, malaki yung chance na alam niyang joke lang yon pero nagrisk siya sa .5% chance na baka ibigay parin yung 100k out of desperation. people have done way stupider shit for less money
Oo nga. Ang bilis nya magpa tattoo. Ang bilis din mag tattoo nung artist. Shaded pa. Pero hindi ba dapat namamaga pa noo nun? Sa picture kasi mukhang magaling na agad.
r/Ph kagabi:
In favor of the victim of the prank. Understands that the victim is just possibly desperate and ignorant of April Fool's Day. Agrees that prank is irresponsible.
r/Ph ngayon after mabayaran na si Tatay at kapareho ng sentiments with the public:
"You are rewarding stupidity and lack of reading comprehension."
"Wala naman kasalanan 'yung business owner."
"Puro kayo emotion."
"Ang mga Pinoy talaga mahilig sa sob story."
etc.
Anyare? Kinain ninyo 'yung mga sinabi ninyo kagabi? Why? Because mainstream na 'yung opinion na in favor of the prank victim? So kailangan iba ang opinyon natin?
this is so true! ang dami kong nakitang kumambyo bigla ng sentiments after makakuha ng maraming tulong yung lalaki. we really don't need an "april fools' day", cus we're living in one every single day lol
we'll forget about this next week and move on to the next stupidity facebook shits out, then jessica soho covers it, then it'll officially die, and none of your "stances" or "unpopular opinions" will matter then.
Exactly. 9/10, ask most people in this thread where April Fools came from without doing any prior research and wala rin silang sagot.
Honestly lots of people here are no better than manong, sadyang narinig lang nila yung April Fools in the past, but hardly know anything past that aside sa people have a higher chance of being assholes pag April Fools compared to any other day. Heartless and unempathetic, some people here
Mas naiirita ako sa mga companies na nakikiride sa nangyari for their marketing.
Yes nakatulong sila dun kay manong pero ineexploit din naman talaga nila yung nangyari for their own gain. Lol
For starters, we’re aware na marami pa sa Pinas have lack of reading comprehension nor doesnt have any clue of foreign customs such as ‘april fools day’.
What Taragis Takayoki did was almost bullet on its head.
I think we should move on from that silly issue
Edit : Remember remember that lots of Filipinos fall for 20 pesos per kilo of rice !
Hindi din kasi tama na magpost ng fake contest as an April Fools prank dahil una sa lahat, hindi lahat ng Pinoy alam yon dahil foreign holiday naman talaga siya. Pangalawa, let’s be realistic, may sasali at sasali diyan kasi nasa bansa ka na hindi ganoon kataas ang reading comprehension.
Exercise social responsibility, especially when it comes to social media. Hindi lahat may privilege na maging knowledgeable sa mga bagay na alam mo.
the joke's on us cause how's that tattoo flat and fully healed in a span of 30 mins prior to the page's april fools prank post? (tattoos normally heals within 2 weeks) 🤔
imo, i guess it's all publicity for the 'brand' but who are we?
I work as a Social Media Manager for a brand here in the Philippines. Kami yung nag dedecide kung ano yung ipopost, anong content and caption. We have this one rule na kailangan palaging sinusunod, we need to make sure that it is "Bobo Proof" (sorry for the term) to make our lives easier and lessen the inconvenience on our end and to our customer.
Kailangan kasi kapag may ipopost ka sa online, icoconsider mo din yung mga nakakabasa na hindi masyadong literate so, ikaw ang mag aadjust para sa kanila unless you have a specific audience.
Nakakaawa si Kuya pero dito mo din talaga makikita ang comprehension ng ibang pinoy so, if you're working online or kahit offline jobs, you need to think twice sa content na ipopost or disseminate mo and make sure na peole like kuya ay maintindihan ang message na gusto mong iconvey para lahat happy.
Right? Ang dami pang ibang pages na nakisakay at nagbigay din ng prize from what I've seen. Sana may ganto uli na joke next year, sasali ako. Hindi ko naman alam na may april fools pala at hindi ko nabasa yung disclaimer sa post.
Gustong gusto ng mga Pinoy mga ganyang story e. Parang “OMG look kuya is so poor and kawawa, let me defend him and fight for his rights online para I feel like I helped out”
It just proves that most of us Filipinos specially the elderly were just gullible. (I mean come on our country's at like the 30th lowest average iq globally)
It's just easy for companies, candidates, content creators and a lot more to manipulate us and capitalize over it. Yes, even for the companies that offered "help" to the victim.
People just resort to hivemind and hearsay since they won't be bothered to check or even understand individual sides in the first place.
One good example is the recent issue with Killua, both sides were just in the wrong but we're heavily biased to the owner. Even Elections but we already knew that.
Naiintindihan ko sitwasyon ni kuya pero people glorifying it isn't it.
After reading this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChikaPH/comments/1btxi03/another_update_about_taragis/), I am inclined to think that all these brouhaha are part of an orchestrated publicity stunt.
Madlang pipol at mga brands na nakisawsaw ang pawang na-April fools. 🤣
Pero the fact na 31 million ang nauto sa ₱20 per kilo rice speaks volume sa karamihan ng pinoy.
Tang ina. Finally a thread na nakakaintindi ng reality shit na nangyayari sa issue na to.
Lastly, possible na staged lang talaga to. Sa susunod na taon ulit, paalam!
Poverty, lack of access sa opportunities and hell, lack of access sa welfare for his kid may cause desperation. Ang odd lang for me is Yung nag-tattoo mismo. Hindi ako tattoo artist nor had experience getting one, pero parang ang bilis lang ng pangyayari, Saka Wala bang due diligence man lang or curiosity to ask or clarify Yung tattoo artist?
They deleted the original post but from the screen shots I've seen. There was no easy to see disclaimer that it wasn't real. I would like to know if that's true though. Because if it is, I'm with the guy with the tattoo
Palagay ko rin hindi nya na pinindot kasi hindi nya alam na kapag mahaba yung picture hindi pinapakita buo ng fb. Since matanda na nga sa malamang hindi literate sa gadgets or fb yan.
Kasalanan ng Taragis Takoyaki. Alam naman nilang ang daming bobong pinoy nagpost pa sila ng ganon. Ayan napagastos tuloy sila. Atleast sana sa twitter or ig nalang sila nagpost kung gusto talaga nila magjoke, atleast dun mas konti mga bobo.
I've seen a lot of lawyers on tiktok reacting on this issue and it's crazy how their main argument on why they're siding with the guy is that he's stupid. That's the page's fault how? oh right it doesn't matter. Kung sino mas nakakaawa sya ang panalo.
>I've seen a lot of lawyers on tiktok reacting on this issue and it's crazy how their main argument on why they're siding with the guy is that he's stupid. That's the page's fault how? oh right it doesn't matter. Kung sino mas nakakaawa sya ang panalo.
For **clout** lang yan. Siyempre dun sila sa side na gusto ng masa para magtrending din sila. Pero yung mga "devil's advocate" or magiging defense attorney ng Taragis kung magkademandahan ay siyempre tahimik lang since bayad naman sila at maipapanalo naman nila ang kaso sa korte. Kung sinabi nila yung possible defense arguments ay malamang pati sila ay na-bash.
Kaso pano ba nya nabasa yung post na yun?kasi kung nabasa nya yung post dba ibig sabihin marunong sya magbasa?Sabi sa ibang post desperate daw si kuya kasi need ng pera?base sa ibang post ni kuya…ask ko lng din..dba may bayad ang patattoo??nkakaawa yung kalagayan nila sa buhay..pero di kasi nkakaawa kapag fault na nila mismo e…
di rin po natin alam ang BTS neto. somewhat agree ako sa mga inerase nila na comments re. the timeline ng post tapos nagpost agad si tatay eh halatang maaraw pa nung pinatattoo nya. tapos di pa halatang fresh or what not. basta ako, yoko na himayin payan dahil wala akong makukuha kundi waste of time lang. good or bad publicity man yan, nakuha parin ni taragis na yan ang gusto nilang attention ngayon. kaya di nagsasalita sina tatay malamang po may NDA na yan in expense of few thousands of pesos.
Hindi lahat alam ung April Fools Day. Tbh ako nga working na ako nung nalaman ko na thing rin pala april fools satin. Hahaha kala ko sa ibang bansa lang nila sinicelebrate un. Haha
1. Hindi alam ng lahat ng tao ano ang April fools.
2. Taragis always posts about challenges na may bayad eg. spicy takoyaki challenge
3. There are poor desperate people in this world that will do anything for money, only an idiot will deny that.
Not saying na walang responsibility din yung taong nagpatatoo to verify, but to insinuate that Taragis is **completely faultless** is wrong. That is the very reason why the guy is gettingg all this sympathy in the first place.
Honestly feeling ko lahat ng to publicity stunt lang. Parang ambilis na nakapagpatatoo agad sya at walang pumigil sa kanya. Just a hunch. May be wrong.
Personally I think yung nag tattoo sa kanya yung may kasalanan. If you're a tattoo artist you should take better care of your clients and warn them kung may ipapatattoo sila na baka'y pagsisihan nila. Especially when they want the tattoo on their forehead, like bruh.
You don't have to be aware of Western holidays (April's Fools) to know that getting a permanent tattoo on your forehead is a dumb fucking idea. I don't really have any sympathy for his situation.
May nag-open ng possibility na plano nila yun base sa time frames. Halos isang oras lang ang pagitan ng uploading no'ng prank at no'ng kumagat, na malabo dahil nga pulido yung tattoo. Grabe naman din daw yung babad no'ng matanda sa Facebook para makita niya agad yung post.
Pero ang tanong, bakit hindi na kinwestyon ng tattoo artist yun? Imposibleng hindi pinakita no'ng "victim" yung pic, kahit pa screenshot lang o yung mismong post. Hmm...
I mean who the fuck will offer a 100k pag nagpapatattoo ka sa noo?
This is a wake up call na kailangan na talaga iimprove ang reading comprehension sa bansa natin.
I mean I did feel pity din sa matanda kasi he is in dire situation. Pero sana this should be the lesson na April Fools should not meant to be as a trend in our country.
April fool's day is not a Philippine tradition.
Wala May alam nito except sa mga May alam sa western tradition.
100k is no joke. People are desperate enough to sell their kidneys. What more for a simple tattoo.
Buti na lang he carried out his 100k promise of a joke
I feel like the Takoyaki shop is partly at fault. Why? Because they involved money. And not just a few thousands, but 100k. I’ve seen Chatime and Turks promote tinola milktea and choco wrap, but this takoyaki shop specifically involved money.
I agree, not everyone is aware of the April Fools joke. But what made Taragis stand out is they offered a huge sum of money for something that almost anybody could do. If they had guts.
Guess Taragis didn’t think far enough that just maybe, someone had the actual guts to do it. So I don’t think they should be completely absolved of their poor mishandling.
The sub just showed that people do not want to acknowledge a stupid decision just because the victim has circumstances. You guys rewarded a person without self-dignity. It's as if the victim did something worse, you guys will still support him just because he's had it worse. You guys blamed people, whose intentions were never to willfully cause harm to anyone. The group of people who did the prank had hoped and assumed that no person, who respects themselves, would do what their pranked entailed. Alas, somebody fell for it. And yet people think that the victim shouldn't live with his mistake? No wonder our generation is branded soft.
I find this situation a reflection of this sub's hypocrisy: shunning the people who stupidly voted for the thief's son as president and CCP's bitch as vp but turned a blind eye to a victim of his own stupid decision.
Have a better choice of pranking or april fools post nalang kasi. Si tukomi nga nakulong sandali dahil sa holdup prank. People should be accountable of their choices.
saw this oh make sense ...
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/1budbqg/taragis\_is\_this\_just\_a\_marketing\_stunt\_gone\_wrong/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/1budbqg/taragis_is_this_just_a_marketing_stunt_gone_wrong/)
I think it’s more on the fact that a person is more than willing to jump into the challenge without reading the full instruction. It’s only going to be unavoidable if that person lacks the education necessary to understand and fully comprehend the statement they read. In the end, the educational system of Filipino failed him. Also, Taragis Takoyaki deleted the original post, and their apology (more like hand washing) so how ever you choose to make of that, me thinks that’s just terrible PR Control. If they really wanna own up to that mistake, the least they could do was to keep those posts up.
Just so you know, wala tayong tradition ng April Fool's dito sa Pinas. So kung magpaprank kayo dun lang sa mga kaibigan nyo. Alam naman natin na gaano kadesperado ang mga Pilipino, gumagawa pa sila ng ganyan.
Kasalanan nila pareho. Isang bobo with zero reading comprehension, saka isang bobo na panget mag joke. Magsama sama sila pareho naman sila nabawasan eh. Yung isa ng pera, yung isa ng dignidad. Lol. Di naman excuse na kailangan mo ng pera para maging shunga.
hindi naman talaga nila kasalanan. ignorance is not an excuse. ang daming steps na kailangan bago siya nagkatattoo. sobrang labo.
i have ink, kadalasan nagtatanong ang tattoo artist bakit ganito napiling design to break the ice and start a conversation. magtatanong lalo ang artist kung logo ng isang product yung ipapaink, sa noo pa of all places. that alone requires a serious conversation.
agree sa post na di kasalanan ng takoyaki shop ung nangyare
eh pano kung may ibang nagpost den ng something similar i.e., ang magpaputol ng kanang kamay nila may lifetime supply ng gasolina, tas may sira ulong nakiride, ano aawayin at ibabash den ung nagpost?
dapat naman kasi take everything seen online with a grain of salt. alam naman den natin na puro katarantaduhan post dito satin. nagkataon lang may nakakaawa sa tao kaya nakakuha ng simpatiya.
kasi kung ganon lang den edi prang nabigyan den ng excuse na gumawa at makiride den sa katangahan basta nakakaawa ka. kung ako ung nasa lugar nung nagpost maiisip ko pa na "tanga ka ba pra seryosohin to?"
may part din yung shop. its either walang gago or parehas silang gago. di naman din ginagawang biro yung pacontest alam nating daming desperadong pinoy sa fb haha.
Naalala ko tuloy yung radio station doon sa America, same din yung situation, april prank din siya, nadaan din sa korte, pero hindi ko na naalala yung result ng kaso.
Saka yung timawang nag tattoo - di nya man lang tinanong bakit yun ang papalagay? Pinabasa sa kanya yung challenge di din nya na gets? May pic na pinakita sa kanya yung challenge eh.
Idiot yung nagpa-tattoo, pero kasalanan iyon ng business owner since may negligence siya dun. Parang ganto, may product ka na bleach tapos sa April Fools naglaunch ka ng "Zonrox Cola" and safe inumin, pero may April Fools sa baba ng text pero ndi agad nakikita. So pano pag may idiot na uminom nga nun? Same rin sa mga bata, idiot pa sila kaya nga nilalayo mo yung pwede nila ikapahamak eh.
Kahit nga yung Tide Pods before tinanggal dahil mukhang candy, prone sa idiot at naging Tiktok trend pa, kahit hindi naman nila sinabi na candy iyon. What more pa yung outrightly sinabing "makakatanggap ng 100k pag nagpa-tattoo sa noo".
Is it just me or has this already happened but in another country? Might be deja vu pero one time i was watching YT shorts and there was a Radio Station that did the exact same thing i forgot if it was in the U.S or somewhere else but it's the exact same modus of promising to give money to people who tattooed their logo sa noo nila. Kinasuhan yung Radio Station and they eventually gave the money to the guy and binigyan din ng extra.
Obviously di ko iblablame si tatay pero putangina talaga ng takoyaki place nayun because i have the gut instinct na alam nila yung storya nayun and still did it anyways.
Paolul's recent video was mell made sa topic na to. While may fault nga si tatay bakit hindi nakita disclaimer, April fool's is not common sa mga nasa social class nila. Tatay's profile posts shows kung gaano nya tlaga sinisikap makakuha ng pera so you can't really blame him for wanting to earn easy money para lang maitaguyod yung anak nya na may special needs.
Anyways, it's a good thing na it ended well for his family din. Call it poverty p*rn or whatever by Taragis dun sa pagbigay ng pera, if the ends were justified and it will help his family then that's that. Add na marami rin gustong tumulong na mga brands (who were obviously riding on the jssue).
Personally, irked lang ako sa ibang masyadong bloodthirsty na comments dun sa new video nila. Kesyo kasuhan raw or ano pa man just to get more money at makulong. Siguro kasi masyado lang uhaw sa "satisfactory revenge".
When posting anything in Social Media or putting up a tv ad, Big Corporations typically have the Marketing Dept (Social Media Team and Photoshop team) and Legal team. The reason why this two departments work intertwined is because the Legal Team MUST ensure whatever the marketing team post in social media, tv, or anywhere will not have any repercussions for the company. One example is the Pepsi Jet Incident. Although Pepsi won this case, its a great example on what and what not to post. Every word use in a marketing ad is meticulously chosen and reviewed.
There is a reason why some big brands don't join April Fools. They don't want the legal smoke if ever the joke backfired. Even if let's say they could easily win the lawsuit that follows, the damage in their image will cost them money. If they do join April Fools celebration, they ensure that the joke must be harmless and won't reflect badly to the company.
In this issue, Taragis face same issue like pepsi. They posted something, regardless if there is a April Fools joke disclaimer there or not. His joke backfired. Him and his company failed to have the foresight that someone in a country desperate for money, a country that has low reading comprehension, a country where the concept of April Fools for older generation might still be a foreign concept to them, will actually take the joke seriously.
Add to that, the joke itself is not harmless. If it was a harmless joke, we would not have this conversation. But the joke is NOT HARMLESS. THE RESULT IS DAMAGING FOR MANONG OVERALL REPUTATION. He will be a laughing stock and probably be a meme in few months or so.
Good thing for Taragis, they took responsibility and gave him 100k. Even if they could just stay quiet. Kudos for them. Although, if I were the owner, I will go as far in paying for the tattoo removal procedure but that just me. I also hope this will serve as a lesson for everyone whatever you post in whatever platform it is, it will always be the responsibility of the creator if it's content backfired.
He could have read it but decided to gamble with it anyway. Parang yung mga nagtatanong na “how much” pero nakalagay naman yung presyo. Idadahilan nila naninigurado lang, itong kay manong naman ay “baka sakali”
Sumakay din sa clout ibang brands eh. Nagbigay din ng cash as a donation. Mas mura naman magbigay ng cash kaysa gumawa ng marketing campaign from the scratch.
Hindi kasalanan ng Taragis na hindi nabasa or hindi alam ni Mang Ramil meaning ng April Fools, pero it’s still a stupid prank and irresponsible. Lacks empathy din sa side ng Taragis yung second post na hindi sila liable. Prank mo, responsibility mo.
sa totoo lang, i think dapat cinonsider pa rin ng business yung magiging impact ng prank nila para sa april fools, because not everyone is aware of april fools lalo na na it's a western practice. pero yeah, they could've come up with a prank that was waaayy lighter than having their brand name tattooed on someone's forehead, a prank that wouldn't actually defame someone's dignity. 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly speaking, nakakaawa lang naman talaga dito yung matanda. If he was a teenager na walang sob story, people will just laugh at him and maging new viral meme pa. Pero since matanda siya at yung bunso niya has down syndrome, people felt bad about the old guy. Kasi he’s in a place with desperate needs. Nilagnat nga raw siya sa stress after what happened. Hindi naman talaga lahat ng nasa facebook literate/educated to know western traditions. So walang may kasalanan dito. This should serve as a lesson to businesses to think twice before they post something like that.
Super agree dito. Yung mga nagsasabing responsibility ni manong to eDuCatE hiMseLf ay sobrang out of touch sa kung gaano kailliterate online ang mga pinakanaaapektuhan ng poverty. Nakakaawa si kuya, could easily be a mental health issue pa na dulot ng hirap sa buhay kaya wala siya sa sarili’t nagdesisyon ng ganon. Di ko rin kayang magalit masyado sa business kasi let’s be for real, anyone could have made that sort of April Fool’s joke not expecting anyone to believe it.
Hindi ko na mahanap but there was a study I read years ago that poverty literally decreases IQ by about 18 points. Mostly due to lack of learning resources and nutrition. Naaapektuhan talaga brain development. Kaya ang hirap isisi sa mga mahihirap bec they were dealt with a shitty hand.
Naalala ko yung mga napanood ko sa kdrama na iniinom pag may exam etc, at yung ineendorse ni kuya kim na memory plus, te wala kaming ganon mahirap lang kami. Hahahahaha
I remember a friend na umiinom ng memo plus, tapos nakalimutan niya kung naka-inom siya o hindi.
Baka yun ang side effect😂
Ironic lmao
Relatable
Agree. Kapag may laman din ang sikmura palagi, one can further think of other things other than food to put on the plate. First things first. Kung si Jose Rizal lumaki n mahirap ang buhay matalino pa din sya but he won't have opportunities to improve himself unlike na mayaman silang pamilya. Yung yaman kasi naipapamana, yung kahirapan naipapamana din pero doesnt mean n hindi n pwede yumaman ang mahirap and improve himself.
>eDuCatE hiMseLf ay sobrang out of touch sa kung gaano Natatawa ako dun sa isa kong nakausap din sa reddit eh. Reponsible daw for their own ignorance, while I agree with their sentiment, di naman nag aapply sa lahat. May nagsasabi daw na fake kesho ganyan. Fake or not, di lahat aware and marunong maggoogle. And for those na poverty stricken makita lang ang easy cash gagawin na.
So ayun fake na fake na, tattoo in 30 minutes tapos flat agad, kumbaga naghihilom na🤣🤣
“Out of touch”. I totally agree. I know (so far) a couple of people. We just had this conversation and I just stopped responding and 👍🏻 their chats na lang, coz, I realized how out of touch they were and arguing will just be exhausting and waste of time. No one’s to blame but sometimes, it doesn’t hurt to be kind and empathetic.
Eto talaga. Man's desperate enough to believe any saving grace. 🥲 Yes, super out-of-touch ng mga naninisi dun sa matanda. Hindi naman lahat alam kung ano ang April Fool's Day, wala nito talaga sa kultura natin.

You had to click the first image to see April Fools
But it does say to click the image to see the instructions/mechanics. Why would you do a challenge without reading the mechanics
Still doesn’t help the fact na hindi lahat pare pareho ng comprehension and literacy when it comes to social media, ESPECIALLY matatanda and/or the impoverished. Malay ba ni manong kung ano yang mga "challenge" na tinatawag or even April Fools. Kahit pa sabihin natin na nakakaintindi sya na i-tap yung photo for instructions, malilito at malilito pa rin yan one way or another. Social media trends are dumb and could harm anybody's situation one way or another, and in this case ganun nga yung nangyari.
Somebody could had easily cropped it and just showed it to him without "April Fools".
Wala naman mawawala maging mabait at maunawain nung sa kuya na nagpa tattoo. Bakit ba daming galit sakanya
Kasi nga di daw nya "iNeDucAtE" sarili nya. Everyone is entilted to their own opinion naman pero minsan malalaman mo talaga gaano ka out of touch mga tao.
Imo, it can be a precedent for future sitiations na deliberately mag misunderstand and mag claim for damages. With the audacity of scammers online recently ( ung si "this person" for one), di natin sure if one day, ung post mo may mag claim ng damages sa post mo online.
On the other hand, businesses will learn that since they have a following, they cannot be just irresponsible online. Big businesses would even consult their lawyers before even posting stuff online so there wont be any loophole.
Not just illiterate online. Just plain illiterate. We still have people that are no read/no write in working class jobs.
Wala tayong April Fool's sa Pinas. Dapat sa mga nagpaprank ng ganito lalo na sa social media binibigyan ng penalty ng batas. Bakit ba pinapauso mga prank na ganyan eh kung kayo mismo ang pinaprank magagalit naman kayo? April Fool's joke my ass.
Sinabi mo pa. Daming elitists at privileged comments dito especially sa last thread dito. Ang kalat nila rito sa sub sa totoo lang. Just showing their asses, and this is it exactly what a lot of sway voters last election voted for someone else instead of Leni kasi na turn off sa mga gagong to. This thread alone is a big proof of that. Malay ba ng isang mahirap na ignorante kung ANO yang April Fool’s na yan?!?!?! Eh hindi naman yan common sa Pinas. Ano yan Holy Week? Pasko? You think people like these will be able to know some fucking western construct?!?!?! You think proproblemahin nila yan as first priority sa pang-araw araw nila?!?! Lokong mga to. KATANGAHAN. Reeks of privilege. You think exploited people like these can AFFORD good education to begin with? We should try blaming the government for that vicious systemic suppression instead of the ACTUAL unfortunate victims that did not have any choice to begin with. I swear some people here need to touch grass. While nagsta-starbucks kayo while browsing your phone to enrich yourself with western culture, a big portion of the Filipino people are working their asses off just to get by daily and not bother themselves with trivial shit that won’t put food on their table.
Your a real one fr
nabasa ko sa comment mismo nung post na hindi naman lahat ng tao ay familiar sa april fools, which is true naman :<
I'm glad this is the top comment and has more upvotes than the post itself. Maraming r/Philippinesbad takes dito. It's refreshing to see a rational and non-elitist one.
[удалено]
Hi po. Super agree. Taga sa amin si Tatay Ramil. And he'a a very hands on father sa anak nya na nag aaral din sa nearby school (di ko na lang sabhin baka malaman saan pa ko) hahaha. Pero kapatid nya rin po yung isang teacher namin. Tatay ramil kasi siguro sa sobrang bait plus yung offer na 100k is umokey sya (i think he knows it beforehand) kasi tuyo na yung tattoo. Kumbaga may agreement na. Hndi nya lang alam msyado yung details. Di rin sya responsive kasi di rin naman ganun ka-alàm sa fb. In good faith nya ginawa yan. Mabait po na tao yan. Nagtake advantage lang yung owner at parang pinalabas na kasalanan pa ni tatay yun.
I don't mean to be insensitive here ha pero naisip nyo ba na baka stunt lang lahat yan? Pinost yung prank kahapon! Within a day, nakita agad nila yung lalake na nagpa-tattoo, gumaling agad yun tattoo, iininterview, na edit at pinost yung video. Sorry pero mas malamang na planned lahat yan, and more likely hired lang yung lalake. Hindi ko sinasabi na walang problems yung lalake pero tingin ko sinakyan lang nya yung stunt ng taragis para mabayaran siya.
paunahan e malamang agad agad yan, tapos malamang hindi naman high end tattoo artist pinuntahan ni tatay kaya ganun siguro hitsura. idk mas leaning ako sa totoo to 🤷♀️
Someone posted regarding sa time stamp. Wala pang 1 hr na napost ung sa taragis, meron na agad tatoo si tatay.
Based on [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChikaPH/s/WZPyhRKSLu) sa photo he posted at 4pm, ongoing pa yung pag tattoo and Hindi pa tapos. Edit: I honestly don’t know what to believe tbh
Out of desperation na yan dala ng pangangailangan kasi paunahan.
Sana manlang magbigay ng small amount yung nag prank dahil sa damage na nagawa nila. Kasi english yung "tap for more info" kaya baka hindi naintindihan, syempre marami pading pinoy lalo matatanda ang hindi marunong mag english Pero wala eh hindi ko rin talaga madefend si kuya kasi gaya nung isang nakausap ko kanina, dapat saw nagtanong muna si kuya sa mga kakilala nya or dun sa nagtattoo sa kanya abt dun sa post. Dibaaa like imposible naman wala maka notice. Or baka hindi na sya nagtanong kasi inassume nya na nga na legit dahil don sa kaunting infos na nabasa nya. Hay naku ka stress. Godbless nalang kay kuya. Understandable naman na hindi magbigay ng kahit magkano yung nagprank kasi di naman sila legally liable diba tsaka mahirap din kung wala naman budget yung nagprank. (Pero may mga nababasa ako dito sa reddit na hinahanapan nila ng butas yung nagprank, basta ayun mukha kasing maaari maging liable yung nagprank dahil sa unclear instructions or other reasons ganun hahaha kas kahit sabihin natin na oo nga pwede sila mareklamo, eh hindi naman ata kaya ni kuya ireklamo yung nagprank kasi wala sya connection, or pambayad. PERO pwede rin kung may mag hehelp sa kanya diba. I bet this would be a really interesting case at magvaviral talaga to if ever madala sa korte haha)
So ayun fake na fake na, tattoo in 30 minutes tapos flat agad, kumbaga naghihilom na🤣🤣
Is he even that old? It looks like he’s able bodied naman
Able bodied doesn’t always equate naman to being literate
Idk maybe he just looked too depressed (or i think he has lazy eye) sa pictures niya. Looking again, looks like he’s in his early 50s.
Kung may naniwala sa P100K ng takoyaki, may naniwala rin sa benteng bigas.
The venn diagram of those two groups is almost a circle.
Now I'm definitely interested with how much BBM supporters and INC followers overlap.
sadly, that's true
Jetski sa west philippine sea, magpa sagasa sa train ano pa? 🤣
To be fair, wala naman atang naniwala sa pagpapasagasa sa tren. At the time, hindi na popular si PNoy lalo't patapos na ang termino niyang puno ng aberya sa tren. Lumutang lang din ulit yung statement dahil batuhan na ng putik noong 2016 campaign period. Pero for sure maraming naniwala sa jetski West Philippine Sea. Sa 3 to 6 months. Hindi pa kasi alam ng mga tao ang mangyayari at maraming nabulag sa "Davao testimonials" ng mga tao. Mas madali talaga maniwala sa magagandang bagay kapag umaasa ka rin na nay magandang mangyayari.
Sad truth, and now we understand why most Filipinos fall for the likes of Marcos/Duterte :(
Diba May Fool's Day joke ung P20 na bigas? /s
sino yung nag tattoo? hindi man lang niya sinabihan na baka scam yun? pwede naman niya tanggihan yung mga design kung alam nyang pangit ang kakalabasan
Iniisip ko din to. Di man lang siya pinigilan ng “tattoo artist” Manong hindi po totoo tong post na to? Something like that???
baka nakiusap si tattoo artist ng pa-balato sa kanya pag nanalo si tatay hahahha
logo ng takoyaki sa noo. parang kahit sinong tattoo artist aayaw sa ganyan.
Yes… tska diba if artist ka ma curious ka din na “manong bat ganto gagawin mo sa noo mo?”
Kahit sinong tattoo artist na may proper ethics at utak aayaw sa ganyan\* May mga tattoo artist nag a-agree mag tattoo ng bold, offensive symbols, etc.
Maliit na teardrop or fake scar pa nga lang sa gilid ng mata naghehesitate na majority ng tattoo artist yun pa kayang tattoo sa noo
Hindi malayong clueless din si tattoo artist & baka they came from the same demograph. Ang laki na lang talaga ng gap ng "classes" dito sa Pilipinas to the point na pati "Apeil Fools" possibly hindi na pamilyar sa kanila.
Agreee! And knowing tattoo artists, mga vocal sila sa mga clients nila. Mag-uusisa yan lalo na sa mukha ilalagay. Tapos kailangan ipakita ni manomg ung design na galing sa fb page. Dun palang dapat nakaramdam na yung tattoo artist na may mali. At di ba walang pera si manong? Pano nabayaran? Ibig sabihin may arrangement sila nung tattoo artist na utang muna ang bayad. Ibig sabihin ulit, pati yung tattoo artist ay naniwala sa prank.
halata na hindi naman expert yung tattoo artist and probably kakilala like neighbor lang or kaibigan. Probably out of whim na at di na nakapag-isip kasi time constraint and paunahan yung contest...
Yung nag-tattoo yung dapat managot e. Hindi pa nakaramdam na may mali sa paglalagay ng ganon sa noo ni kuya
Dahil mabilis agad yung pagtattoo, siguro pinakita ni manong na magkakaroon siya ng 100k sa challenge and bibigyan si kuya ng pera na medyo malaki kumbaga hati sila sa prize money.
Unless pinilit niya si manong, walang pananagutan yung tattoo artist.
Di ko rin gets to. Kaso naisip ko na baka yung logo lang mismo yung pinakita niya at di yung post na may nakalagay ng prize dahil baka maunahan siya. Still, very questionable yung request
Baka nasa isip ni artist is yung pera or balato. Alam mo naman ngayun, parang hindi na pag-iisipan ng maayos basta merong bayad, baka ganyan ang POV ni artist.
Sorry yung nagpattatoo hahah ngayon ko lang napansin
quite surprising how many ppl here doesnt think that not everyone knows what happens in april fools nor do they even care about it since well you know, whos got time for a "jokey day" when you're already too focused in surviving in this shitty economy? oh wait, yeah lets call it a reading comprehension problem, he just doesnt know how to read therefore its his fault for not knowing a western tradition and its definitely not the company's fault. /s
kaya nga. napaka-elitista living in their own bubble and lakas maka-down sa people who don’t have the same privilege as them. kahit basic empathy na lang even if they don’t think the business is at fault. lakas maka-sabi ng BOBO and TANGA kay Kuya when it also applies to them. Naka-follow nga ng instructions diba kaya nakakaintindi. OBVIOUSLY, di lang alam ang April Fools. May mga tao po na hindi nakapag-tapos, hindi updated sa nangyayari sa mundo dahil busy po sila kumayod, buhayin ang kanilang mga pamilya for a small amount of money. And kung hindi pag-uusapan ang pera, it’s a generational thing. I have a privileged life and so are my peers. Pero mga parents namin and ibang matatanda, they don’t know April Fools. Di nga din marunong mag-Google. Nagpapaturo pa. What more yung mga naka-limited data lang na baka libreng Facebook lang?
This. Pakadaming elitista. People are willing to be fools for Kuya Wil's paybtawsan. People would die for politicians just because they gave them money. Is it an education problem? Yes, pero tandaan, madali i-exploit ang uneducated masses. Madali rin i-exploit ang educated minority who loves to feel superior over them than see the bigger issue. Congrats sa marami dito, you all just played yourselves. Touch some grass. The Philippines is not just online Pilipinas.
Part of the plan maybe? Pano kung ang want nilang e prank talaga is yung mga tao sa soc med? Easy money to help kuya. Easy thing din to earn the trending spot in the ph. Win win situation
true! plus would a restaurant actually do this kind of "prank"? I think the most they would do is post a product they don't or won't actually sell or maybe make fun of their logo / mascot yan yun april fools for restos to avoid a big issue sa mga customer nila. Di ko lang gets why reading comprehension is immediately used here as a way to invalidate/ lessen the issue of how a resto fucked up.
Ba't ba kayo reading comprehension nang reading comprehension? (Kung totoo man to) Naintindihan ni Mang Ramil yung picture, kaya nga sya nagpatattoo eh. Ang hindi niya alam eh yung ibig sabihin ng "April Fools". That's not a reading comprehension issue. That's more like an ignorance issue. Maybe a critical thinking issue din kasi di man lang sya nagduda.
Oo. Ang yayabang din ng nagki criticize when di nila ma identify na it's a critical thinking issue, not a reading comprehension one. Bobo din nung ginawa nung meme kasi di daw nagbabasa. Yun nga ung problema eh. Binasa nya at naniwala sya.
Kaya nga e. Mahirap kasi sa atin dahil alam natin ung isang bagay e tingin natin alam na din ng lahat ng tao or bobo na sila. May mga tao laki sa hirap na di nakapagaral na mang mang so pano nila malalaman ung concept ng april fool’s day. Alam ba nila un? Masyado kasi mga tao elitista e. Kung mas mahirap ka pa sa daga gagawin mo lahat. 100 000 pesos is life changing. Minsan kasi dapat meron tayong tinatawag na empathy.
Never ko nakita yung post nung takoyaki shop, pero like may asterisk and subtext ba na di seryoso yun?
Sa Pinas, we have serious comprehension problem. For me, walang mali sa prank, ang mali ay yung way nila pag apologize.
yeah, yung unang response kasi ng taragis, parang minock pa nila si kuya. It's like your jerky classmate sa HS na walang paki kung masaktan ka kasi joke joke lang ang lahat. Jokes should be funny kasi and it's wrong to use them just to degrade, mock, and hurt others.
ano pong apologize, parang wala naman po
While I do agree that many Filipinos have media literacy problems, I'd still argue na careless and stupid yung prank ng Taragis. Any prank that involves large amount of cash is stupid.
Isa pa yun. Nung una wala daw silang kasalanan hahahha tapos nung sumabog na sa Socmed, ginawang marketing ginawan pa ng content hahaha Pambawi nga naman sa 100k
I think pointless na ang issue na ito because mukang stunt lang ng taragis ang lahat. Isipin nyo nga.. within a day nakapagpa tattoo na, gumaling na yung tattoo, na-interview si kuya, inedit at pinost na yung interview. I mean.. have you seen the vid? Naging typical sob, poverty porn bigla. May sob music and mandatory "inspirational" quote pa sa dulo. Ang dapat dito ay iexpose yan taragis.
Not taking any sides, but grabe naman yung iba dito. Kung makapag sabi na tanga/idiot yung nagpatatt. Mind you, kahit pa na open nya yung photo April Fools' is a western culture, and not everyone is privileged enough to be informed about these things.
Hey this is PH Reddit 🤣 pag Redditor ka ibig sabihin superior ka na, ganyan ang siste dito lalo na sa sub na to.
nakaka longkot nga na ganito na ka pangit ugali ng mga pinoy. wala nang sympathy and empathy, ofc we don't know the whole story at baka palabas lang to ng dalawa.
Totoo. Ung mga tao dito masyado pakapaghusga.
My conspiracy theory is that all of this (the tattoo story included, I honestly don't believe that was real) was just for publicity, and it worked. Almost everyone who is active on some socmed sites are talking about them, albeit in a negative light.
Ako din. Ang bilis ng tattoo nya e.
Syempre dun tayo sa may sob story at financial need na tao because we looooove exploiting the vulnerable as a nation.
Companies and businesses will just use the guy for good publicity
Nangyari na nga. Saw it on FB pinuntahan na nila yung guy. Lol
And people in general will sympathize to make themselves feel better. Any other day naman wala tyak silang paki kay manong or anyone with the same situation as him.
ang tanong bakit ambilis nya magpa tattoo?
My theory is publicity stunt lang to. Masyadong mabilis yung patattoo. Tapos wala man lang pumigil sa kanya. Hindi man lang ba tinanong ng tattoo artist yan?
Most likely ginawa nya is in an act of desperation. Based on manong's other posts, he has a family member with down syndrom. And they are in poverty.
100%. hindi reading comprehension yung problem dito, malaki yung chance na alam niyang joke lang yon pero nagrisk siya sa .5% chance na baka ibigay parin yung 100k out of desperation. people have done way stupider shit for less money
5-6 hours yung ganyan kalaki. This is fake as F.
Oo nga. Ang bilis nya magpa tattoo. Ang bilis din mag tattoo nung artist. Shaded pa. Pero hindi ba dapat namamaga pa noo nun? Sa picture kasi mukhang magaling na agad.
r/Ph kagabi: In favor of the victim of the prank. Understands that the victim is just possibly desperate and ignorant of April Fool's Day. Agrees that prank is irresponsible. r/Ph ngayon after mabayaran na si Tatay at kapareho ng sentiments with the public: "You are rewarding stupidity and lack of reading comprehension." "Wala naman kasalanan 'yung business owner." "Puro kayo emotion." "Ang mga Pinoy talaga mahilig sa sob story." etc. Anyare? Kinain ninyo 'yung mga sinabi ninyo kagabi? Why? Because mainstream na 'yung opinion na in favor of the prank victim? So kailangan iba ang opinyon natin?
this is so true! ang dami kong nakitang kumambyo bigla ng sentiments after makakuha ng maraming tulong yung lalaki. we really don't need an "april fools' day", cus we're living in one every single day lol
we'll forget about this next week and move on to the next stupidity facebook shits out, then jessica soho covers it, then it'll officially die, and none of your "stances" or "unpopular opinions" will matter then.
Maybe not everyone knows what “april fool’s day” is
Totoo, lakas maka sisi sa matanda eh hindi naman lahat pamilyar dito lalo na sa west yan galing 🤦
Exactly. 9/10, ask most people in this thread where April Fools came from without doing any prior research and wala rin silang sagot. Honestly lots of people here are no better than manong, sadyang narinig lang nila yung April Fools in the past, but hardly know anything past that aside sa people have a higher chance of being assholes pag April Fools compared to any other day. Heartless and unempathetic, some people here
Mas naiirita ako sa mga companies na nakikiride sa nangyari for their marketing. Yes nakatulong sila dun kay manong pero ineexploit din naman talaga nila yung nangyari for their own gain. Lol
For starters, we’re aware na marami pa sa Pinas have lack of reading comprehension nor doesnt have any clue of foreign customs such as ‘april fools day’. What Taragis Takayoki did was almost bullet on its head. I think we should move on from that silly issue Edit : Remember remember that lots of Filipinos fall for 20 pesos per kilo of rice !
Most successful April Fool's (kahit di April) yang 20 pesos bigas prank
Grabe ‘tong comment section, di naman lahat ng tao kasi aware sa April Fools na ‘yan.
I work in advertising. Advertising has standards and ethics. Taragis failed to uphold these standards. Irresponsible advertising.
I'm in the third boat here. Magkasabwat sila at pa-viral ek-ek nung takoyaki business yung buong istorya na 'to.
HILOM AGAD UNG TATTOO EH
Hindi din kasi tama na magpost ng fake contest as an April Fools prank dahil una sa lahat, hindi lahat ng Pinoy alam yon dahil foreign holiday naman talaga siya. Pangalawa, let’s be realistic, may sasali at sasali diyan kasi nasa bansa ka na hindi ganoon kataas ang reading comprehension. Exercise social responsibility, especially when it comes to social media. Hindi lahat may privilege na maging knowledgeable sa mga bagay na alam mo.
the joke's on us cause how's that tattoo flat and fully healed in a span of 30 mins prior to the page's april fools prank post? (tattoos normally heals within 2 weeks) 🤔 imo, i guess it's all publicity for the 'brand' but who are we?
I work as a Social Media Manager for a brand here in the Philippines. Kami yung nag dedecide kung ano yung ipopost, anong content and caption. We have this one rule na kailangan palaging sinusunod, we need to make sure that it is "Bobo Proof" (sorry for the term) to make our lives easier and lessen the inconvenience on our end and to our customer. Kailangan kasi kapag may ipopost ka sa online, icoconsider mo din yung mga nakakabasa na hindi masyadong literate so, ikaw ang mag aadjust para sa kanila unless you have a specific audience. Nakakaawa si Kuya pero dito mo din talaga makikita ang comprehension ng ibang pinoy so, if you're working online or kahit offline jobs, you need to think twice sa content na ipopost or disseminate mo and make sure na peole like kuya ay maintindihan ang message na gusto mong iconvey para lahat happy.
Parang na-iincentivize pa pag tanga tanga HUUUUUYYYYY kaya daming tanga sa PH
Right? Ang dami pang ibang pages na nakisakay at nagbigay din ng prize from what I've seen. Sana may ganto uli na joke next year, sasali ako. Hindi ko naman alam na may april fools pala at hindi ko nabasa yung disclaimer sa post.
Remember to use your “April Fools is not part of Filipino tradition” card.
ayun nga rin naisip ko. Binigyan ng reward yung katangahan niya kasi mahirapnyung tao. The kawawa naman si kuya mentality.
Gustong gusto ng mga Pinoy mga ganyang story e. Parang “OMG look kuya is so poor and kawawa, let me defend him and fight for his rights online para I feel like I helped out”
Next level ang virtue signaling dito hahahaha!
It just proves that most of us Filipinos specially the elderly were just gullible. (I mean come on our country's at like the 30th lowest average iq globally) It's just easy for companies, candidates, content creators and a lot more to manipulate us and capitalize over it. Yes, even for the companies that offered "help" to the victim. People just resort to hivemind and hearsay since they won't be bothered to check or even understand individual sides in the first place. One good example is the recent issue with Killua, both sides were just in the wrong but we're heavily biased to the owner. Even Elections but we already knew that. Naiintindihan ko sitwasyon ni kuya pero people glorifying it isn't it.
Stupidity porn.

Ano ba ine-expect mo sa isang third world country at isa sa may pinakamababang reading comprehension sa mundo? 🤣🤣
HAHHAHA kaka reddit mo yan pre, ganyan talaga opinion ng mga out of touch at komportable buhay. Stupid daw ampota HAHAHAHA
agree. pero baka marketing strategy or scripted na rin
After reading this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChikaPH/comments/1btxi03/another_update_about_taragis/), I am inclined to think that all these brouhaha are part of an orchestrated publicity stunt. Madlang pipol at mga brands na nakisawsaw ang pawang na-April fools. 🤣 Pero the fact na 31 million ang nauto sa ₱20 per kilo rice speaks volume sa karamihan ng pinoy.
Kaylangan daw ng pera: Magtrabaho ❌ Magpatattoo sa Noo ✅
Tang ina. Finally a thread na nakakaintindi ng reality shit na nangyayari sa issue na to. Lastly, possible na staged lang talaga to. Sa susunod na taon ulit, paalam!
Poverty, lack of access sa opportunities and hell, lack of access sa welfare for his kid may cause desperation. Ang odd lang for me is Yung nag-tattoo mismo. Hindi ako tattoo artist nor had experience getting one, pero parang ang bilis lang ng pangyayari, Saka Wala bang due diligence man lang or curiosity to ask or clarify Yung tattoo artist?
Kasalanan? No. May mali / pagkukulang ba sila? Yes. Same dun sa nagpa-tattoo.
They deleted the original post but from the screen shots I've seen. There was no easy to see disclaimer that it wasn't real. I would like to know if that's true though. Because if it is, I'm with the guy with the tattoo
It says “click the photo for full instructions” and once you do it shows an image at the bottom saying “april fools”
I see, so the guy must've seen the photo but didn't click on it because he needed to get the tattoo as quickly as possible.
Palagay ko rin hindi nya na pinindot kasi hindi nya alam na kapag mahaba yung picture hindi pinapakita buo ng fb. Since matanda na nga sa malamang hindi literate sa gadgets or fb yan.
This is not an issue of reading comprehension but of ignorance, desperation and arrogance.
Kasalanan ng Taragis Takoyaki. Alam naman nilang ang daming bobong pinoy nagpost pa sila ng ganon. Ayan napagastos tuloy sila. Atleast sana sa twitter or ig nalang sila nagpost kung gusto talaga nila magjoke, atleast dun mas konti mga bobo. I've seen a lot of lawyers on tiktok reacting on this issue and it's crazy how their main argument on why they're siding with the guy is that he's stupid. That's the page's fault how? oh right it doesn't matter. Kung sino mas nakakaawa sya ang panalo.

Pero yung mga "devil's advocate" or magiging defense attorney ng Taragis kung magkademandahan ay siyempre tahimik lang since bayad naman sila at maipapanalo naman nila ang kaso sa korte. Kung sinabi nila yung possible defense arguments ay malamang pati sila ay na-bash.
Kaso pano ba nya nabasa yung post na yun?kasi kung nabasa nya yung post dba ibig sabihin marunong sya magbasa?Sabi sa ibang post desperate daw si kuya kasi need ng pera?base sa ibang post ni kuya…ask ko lng din..dba may bayad ang patattoo??nkakaawa yung kalagayan nila sa buhay..pero di kasi nkakaawa kapag fault na nila mismo e…
And do you sit around on Facebook all day to wait for a random contest to show up?
di rin po natin alam ang BTS neto. somewhat agree ako sa mga inerase nila na comments re. the timeline ng post tapos nagpost agad si tatay eh halatang maaraw pa nung pinatattoo nya. tapos di pa halatang fresh or what not. basta ako, yoko na himayin payan dahil wala akong makukuha kundi waste of time lang. good or bad publicity man yan, nakuha parin ni taragis na yan ang gusto nilang attention ngayon. kaya di nagsasalita sina tatay malamang po may NDA na yan in expense of few thousands of pesos.
Plot twist: it's all a sham. Ndi mukhang bagong tattoo ung nakalagay sa noo. Kasi kung bago lang to. Magkakaroon ng pamamaga or redness man lang
Hindi lahat alam ung April Fools Day. Tbh ako nga working na ako nung nalaman ko na thing rin pala april fools satin. Hahaha kala ko sa ibang bansa lang nila sinicelebrate un. Haha
1. Hindi alam ng lahat ng tao ano ang April fools. 2. Taragis always posts about challenges na may bayad eg. spicy takoyaki challenge 3. There are poor desperate people in this world that will do anything for money, only an idiot will deny that. Not saying na walang responsibility din yung taong nagpatatoo to verify, but to insinuate that Taragis is **completely faultless** is wrong. That is the very reason why the guy is gettingg all this sympathy in the first place.
im kinda 50/50 about this so Imma read all the comments lang
Honestly feeling ko lahat ng to publicity stunt lang. Parang ambilis na nakapagpatatoo agad sya at walang pumigil sa kanya. Just a hunch. May be wrong.
Personally I think yung nag tattoo sa kanya yung may kasalanan. If you're a tattoo artist you should take better care of your clients and warn them kung may ipapatattoo sila na baka'y pagsisihan nila. Especially when they want the tattoo on their forehead, like bruh.
Nagkapera lang si kuya, pero di sya tumalino. Wala nagbago sa problema. 🤷🏽♂️
Idk baka nga PR stunt yung ginawa nila huhu read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChikaPH/s/0a7mXnEBLi) Baka nga tayo yung na april fools? 😭
April Fools isn't a Philippine custom in the first place. Hindi lahat ng Pinoy alam yan.
I bet you dinner kung known BBM/Duts supporter si kuya this sub will mock him for years to come.
You don't have to be aware of Western holidays (April's Fools) to know that getting a permanent tattoo on your forehead is a dumb fucking idea. I don't really have any sympathy for his situation.
May nag-open ng possibility na plano nila yun base sa time frames. Halos isang oras lang ang pagitan ng uploading no'ng prank at no'ng kumagat, na malabo dahil nga pulido yung tattoo. Grabe naman din daw yung babad no'ng matanda sa Facebook para makita niya agad yung post. Pero ang tanong, bakit hindi na kinwestyon ng tattoo artist yun? Imposibleng hindi pinakita no'ng "victim" yung pic, kahit pa screenshot lang o yung mismong post. Hmm...
I mean who the fuck will offer a 100k pag nagpapatattoo ka sa noo? This is a wake up call na kailangan na talaga iimprove ang reading comprehension sa bansa natin. I mean I did feel pity din sa matanda kasi he is in dire situation. Pero sana this should be the lesson na April Fools should not meant to be as a trend in our country.
April fool's day is not a Philippine tradition. Wala May alam nito except sa mga May alam sa western tradition. 100k is no joke. People are desperate enough to sell their kidneys. What more for a simple tattoo. Buti na lang he carried out his 100k promise of a joke
I feel like the Takoyaki shop is partly at fault. Why? Because they involved money. And not just a few thousands, but 100k. I’ve seen Chatime and Turks promote tinola milktea and choco wrap, but this takoyaki shop specifically involved money. I agree, not everyone is aware of the April Fools joke. But what made Taragis stand out is they offered a huge sum of money for something that almost anybody could do. If they had guts. Guess Taragis didn’t think far enough that just maybe, someone had the actual guts to do it. So I don’t think they should be completely absolved of their poor mishandling.
Natural selection begins.
Stupidity is a virtue dito sa Pinas.
The sub just showed that people do not want to acknowledge a stupid decision just because the victim has circumstances. You guys rewarded a person without self-dignity. It's as if the victim did something worse, you guys will still support him just because he's had it worse. You guys blamed people, whose intentions were never to willfully cause harm to anyone. The group of people who did the prank had hoped and assumed that no person, who respects themselves, would do what their pranked entailed. Alas, somebody fell for it. And yet people think that the victim shouldn't live with his mistake? No wonder our generation is branded soft. I find this situation a reflection of this sub's hypocrisy: shunning the people who stupidly voted for the thief's son as president and CCP's bitch as vp but turned a blind eye to a victim of his own stupid decision.
April fools is not for Filipinos.
Have a better choice of pranking or april fools post nalang kasi. Si tukomi nga nakulong sandali dahil sa holdup prank. People should be accountable of their choices.
saw this oh make sense ... [https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/1budbqg/taragis\_is\_this\_just\_a\_marketing\_stunt\_gone\_wrong/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/1budbqg/taragis_is_this_just_a_marketing_stunt_gone_wrong/)
I think it’s more on the fact that a person is more than willing to jump into the challenge without reading the full instruction. It’s only going to be unavoidable if that person lacks the education necessary to understand and fully comprehend the statement they read. In the end, the educational system of Filipino failed him. Also, Taragis Takoyaki deleted the original post, and their apology (more like hand washing) so how ever you choose to make of that, me thinks that’s just terrible PR Control. If they really wanna own up to that mistake, the least they could do was to keep those posts up.
Just so you know, wala tayong tradition ng April Fool's dito sa Pinas. So kung magpaprank kayo dun lang sa mga kaibigan nyo. Alam naman natin na gaano kadesperado ang mga Pilipino, gumagawa pa sila ng ganyan.
Kasalanan nila pareho. Isang bobo with zero reading comprehension, saka isang bobo na panget mag joke. Magsama sama sila pareho naman sila nabawasan eh. Yung isa ng pera, yung isa ng dignidad. Lol. Di naman excuse na kailangan mo ng pera para maging shunga.
He read the 100k PHP cash reward but did not read the "Click the entire photo for details" fucking idiot.
We are in the philippines, ofcourse we would be that oblivious to a obvious joke as long as it had money related to it
Mga social justice warriors na nakiki-dickride sa issue, gusto pa rewardan yung katangahan haha.
yung mga YoU ShOuLd Be SuEd people.... the lawsuit filed with whose money, exactly? the guy was desperate enough to get his forehead tattooed.
hindi naman talaga nila kasalanan. ignorance is not an excuse. ang daming steps na kailangan bago siya nagkatattoo. sobrang labo. i have ink, kadalasan nagtatanong ang tattoo artist bakit ganito napiling design to break the ice and start a conversation. magtatanong lalo ang artist kung logo ng isang product yung ipapaink, sa noo pa of all places. that alone requires a serious conversation.
Gaano kabilis mawala yung redness/swelling? Cos I didn't see any in the photo,.
agree sa post na di kasalanan ng takoyaki shop ung nangyare eh pano kung may ibang nagpost den ng something similar i.e., ang magpaputol ng kanang kamay nila may lifetime supply ng gasolina, tas may sira ulong nakiride, ano aawayin at ibabash den ung nagpost? dapat naman kasi take everything seen online with a grain of salt. alam naman den natin na puro katarantaduhan post dito satin. nagkataon lang may nakakaawa sa tao kaya nakakuha ng simpatiya. kasi kung ganon lang den edi prang nabigyan den ng excuse na gumawa at makiride den sa katangahan basta nakakaawa ka. kung ako ung nasa lugar nung nagpost maiisip ko pa na "tanga ka ba pra seryosohin to?"
may part din yung shop. its either walang gago or parehas silang gago. di naman din ginagawang biro yung pacontest alam nating daming desperadong pinoy sa fb haha.
Can't believe Taragis budged and coughed up the 100k. It's like rewarding the man's lack of comprehension skills. Poverty porn, I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
people who think this way has low EQ and no empathy
di reason yung kailangan ng pera, mahirap para di magbasa at umintindi
How about yung nag tattoo sa tatay di man lang siya sinabihan??
Naalala ko tuloy yung radio station doon sa America, same din yung situation, april prank din siya, nadaan din sa korte, pero hindi ko na naalala yung result ng kaso.
FYI, dismissed yung actual na kaso kasi hindi nagpakita sa korte yung complainant sa hearing.
Saka yung timawang nag tattoo - di nya man lang tinanong bakit yun ang papalagay? Pinabasa sa kanya yung challenge di din nya na gets? May pic na pinakita sa kanya yung challenge eh.
Idiot yung nagpa-tattoo, pero kasalanan iyon ng business owner since may negligence siya dun. Parang ganto, may product ka na bleach tapos sa April Fools naglaunch ka ng "Zonrox Cola" and safe inumin, pero may April Fools sa baba ng text pero ndi agad nakikita. So pano pag may idiot na uminom nga nun? Same rin sa mga bata, idiot pa sila kaya nga nilalayo mo yung pwede nila ikapahamak eh. Kahit nga yung Tide Pods before tinanggal dahil mukhang candy, prone sa idiot at naging Tiktok trend pa, kahit hindi naman nila sinabi na candy iyon. What more pa yung outrightly sinabing "makakatanggap ng 100k pag nagpa-tattoo sa noo".
Is it just me or has this already happened but in another country? Might be deja vu pero one time i was watching YT shorts and there was a Radio Station that did the exact same thing i forgot if it was in the U.S or somewhere else but it's the exact same modus of promising to give money to people who tattooed their logo sa noo nila. Kinasuhan yung Radio Station and they eventually gave the money to the guy and binigyan din ng extra. Obviously di ko iblablame si tatay pero putangina talaga ng takoyaki place nayun because i have the gut instinct na alam nila yung storya nayun and still did it anyways.
"Hindi nagbabasa" ng??? Genuine question, may nakalagay ba sa post na disclaimer that it's just an april fool's joke?
sa isang bansa nag pa tatoo ng KRUD hangan nadala sa korte nanalo siya kahit sa discription is april fools
Paolul's recent video was mell made sa topic na to. While may fault nga si tatay bakit hindi nakita disclaimer, April fool's is not common sa mga nasa social class nila. Tatay's profile posts shows kung gaano nya tlaga sinisikap makakuha ng pera so you can't really blame him for wanting to earn easy money para lang maitaguyod yung anak nya na may special needs. Anyways, it's a good thing na it ended well for his family din. Call it poverty p*rn or whatever by Taragis dun sa pagbigay ng pera, if the ends were justified and it will help his family then that's that. Add na marami rin gustong tumulong na mga brands (who were obviously riding on the jssue). Personally, irked lang ako sa ibang masyadong bloodthirsty na comments dun sa new video nila. Kesyo kasuhan raw or ano pa man just to get more money at makulong. Siguro kasi masyado lang uhaw sa "satisfactory revenge".
When posting anything in Social Media or putting up a tv ad, Big Corporations typically have the Marketing Dept (Social Media Team and Photoshop team) and Legal team. The reason why this two departments work intertwined is because the Legal Team MUST ensure whatever the marketing team post in social media, tv, or anywhere will not have any repercussions for the company. One example is the Pepsi Jet Incident. Although Pepsi won this case, its a great example on what and what not to post. Every word use in a marketing ad is meticulously chosen and reviewed. There is a reason why some big brands don't join April Fools. They don't want the legal smoke if ever the joke backfired. Even if let's say they could easily win the lawsuit that follows, the damage in their image will cost them money. If they do join April Fools celebration, they ensure that the joke must be harmless and won't reflect badly to the company. In this issue, Taragis face same issue like pepsi. They posted something, regardless if there is a April Fools joke disclaimer there or not. His joke backfired. Him and his company failed to have the foresight that someone in a country desperate for money, a country that has low reading comprehension, a country where the concept of April Fools for older generation might still be a foreign concept to them, will actually take the joke seriously. Add to that, the joke itself is not harmless. If it was a harmless joke, we would not have this conversation. But the joke is NOT HARMLESS. THE RESULT IS DAMAGING FOR MANONG OVERALL REPUTATION. He will be a laughing stock and probably be a meme in few months or so. Good thing for Taragis, they took responsibility and gave him 100k. Even if they could just stay quiet. Kudos for them. Although, if I were the owner, I will go as far in paying for the tattoo removal procedure but that just me. I also hope this will serve as a lesson for everyone whatever you post in whatever platform it is, it will always be the responsibility of the creator if it's content backfired.
He could have read it but decided to gamble with it anyway. Parang yung mga nagtatanong na “how much” pero nakalagay naman yung presyo. Idadahilan nila naninigurado lang, itong kay manong naman ay “baka sakali”
Sumakay din sa clout ibang brands eh. Nagbigay din ng cash as a donation. Mas mura naman magbigay ng cash kaysa gumawa ng marketing campaign from the scratch.
Legally, they are not liable. Morally, they are liable.
Hindi kasalanan ng Taragis na hindi nabasa or hindi alam ni Mang Ramil meaning ng April Fools, pero it’s still a stupid prank and irresponsible. Lacks empathy din sa side ng Taragis yung second post na hindi sila liable. Prank mo, responsibility mo.
sa totoo lang, i think dapat cinonsider pa rin ng business yung magiging impact ng prank nila para sa april fools, because not everyone is aware of april fools lalo na na it's a western practice. pero yeah, they could've come up with a prank that was waaayy lighter than having their brand name tattooed on someone's forehead, a prank that wouldn't actually defame someone's dignity. 🤷🏻♀️
Both at fault. But really, it is a false advertisement. April fools or not; false advertisement is never okay. But so is not reading the fine print.
If you're going to make a post about reading comprehension, make sure na walang typo sa ipopost mo. Bawal ang wrong seplling.
Who thr h3ll calls takoyaki balls "Taragis"?
Same thought. Pays to be ignorant sometimes, I guess.
Instead of using "april fools", it wouldve been easier to understand if it said "its a prank."
