The current flavor of the month in the Philippine blogosphere is not a chismis site (very surprising!) but the tongue in cheek, no holds barred, sarcasm dripping Tunay na Lalake.

As per the boys of TNL, Joey Marquez is a "tunay na lalake" because even if he endorses a hair growth product (aka sissy potion), his manliness is salvaged by the following:

1. ginugulpi si kris aquino


2. babaero


3. binaboy, inanakan at iniwan si alma moreno

Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith is: Di tunay na lalake because:

Bagaman ang rape ay krimen ng isang tunay na lalake (gaya ng kidnapping-- see Dennis Roldan,) nawala ang pagkatunay na lalake ni Daniel Smith nang mapawalang-sala siya rito. Isa pa, ang tunay na lalake ay di kailangang manglasing ng chick para makaiskor. At kung nilasing mo na nga e kinailangan mo pang gahasain ang chick, sobrang loser shit na 'yun, na kasama sa ilalim ng "kung anu-anong shit."

And what does a real man do for a living? Any of the following manly-man occupation of course:

a) Pagbebenta ng kidney
b) Balasador sa saklaan
c) Tambay sa kanto

You just gotta love the pinoy humor.

Digs?
