"Anti-Rich" Comments



I think I've just read too many "Anti-rich" comments from that Xaverian's blog regarding his immersion experience as a bagger-boy in SM. His blog was well written, respectful and appreciative of his unique experience. (Link below) So here's my two cents about the silly comments I read.

First of, let me define what being a "Jejemon" is. A jejemon is a person who uses his sad situation in life to justify the violation of the equal rights of his fellowmen through inconsiderate acts and irrational arguments. That is my version of jejemon, nothing more nothing less. It's not about what you have in your bank account, it just so happens that most of them are clad in basketball jerseys and have placed a ridiculous rainbow cap right on top of their heads, at tambay ng eskinita.

Allow me to point out the most common comments:

1) "Do not objectify poor people, hindi ito 'zoo'."

A zoo is where people go to observe animals. Xaverians don't go standing around the SM grocery and simply observe people working. Kaya nga 'immersion' eh. We put in the work the same way every regular employee does in order to inculcate in ourselves that "Hey, remember how hard it was to be a regular blue collar worker? We should set better policies to uplift them."

Whatever 'special treatment' we received was due to the kind understanding of the SM employees that it was our first time to experience bagging groceries, hence, we had to be taught the ropes to be efficient.

To the jejemons who think like this, I'm pretty sure you all smell like animals and trust me when I say, I have no desire to 'observe' you. Please lang. I have too many beautiful family and friends that I would rather look at than you.

2) "Bagger boy lang? Dapat pawalisin yan ng mga kalsada sa eskinita!"

Eh kung ikaw kaya magwalis ng tapat ng sarili mong bahay? Why don't you clean up your own yard rather than just squat by the sidewalk sucking on rugby fumes? How about you get one of your fifty children to clean your own streets?

The intangible effect of impressing the true conditions of a blue collar worker will do more to affect these future leaders than sweeping the front steps of your house, you lazy ass. The purpose of the immersion is not to serve the marginalized people, but rather to open the eyes of the sheltered youth in the hope of bearing fruit that social conditions will improve in the future. If you still don't understand that, please, stop breeding. Chances are, your kid will be as dumb as you.

3)"4 days lang immersion nila? Babalik din sila sa masarap nilang buhay! Walang kwenta"

Well you ignorant jejemon, kung ikaw nga ayaw mo yung buhay mo, bakit naman sila makikipagpalit sayo? I'm sorry but what kind of argument is that?

If the very purpose of your existence is to survive in a miserable manner, and you have no desire to improve your lifestyle, then I feel sorry for you. If, however, you desire to live a comfortable life, then you sir, are a hypocrite towards those who already achieved that goal. So to whoever made that argument, please, just roll over and die. Really, save us from your carbon dioxide and future spawns.

To Carlos Celdran, you drugged up motherfucker, who the hell do you think you are picking on high school kids whose only fault was to be born in a well off family? If ever your post was just a misunderstanding, choose your words more wisely, otherwise, just shut the fuck up. Forgive my french, but no one bashes my alma mater.

I'm Ronaldo Sioco and I'm from Xavier School, bitch.
