Lapu-lapu

The first known one to rebel the Spanish. While most of us will agree that he was a great man and obviously one of the 1st “Filipino” heroes, why don’t we listen to him and keep his mentality alive? Do you think Lapu-lapu would be sad as to what his people have become? I believe he would not want to be called “Filipino”.

Found this video titled “Erwin’s Filipino Star Tattoo” on Youtube. When you watch it, you’ll notice it’s a Sun not a Star. The tattoo & “Filipino Pride” trend/resurgence is a dangerous mix. While I understand that is probably just an honest Sun/Star mix-up, it brings up a few questions….do you know what your “Filipino” tattoos mean? Do your tattoos represent the pre or post Filipino?
