This tattoo at the back of  Jowald Casem tells the different patriotic events in the history of the Philippines. Aside from that, you can also see at his back the different symbols that signifies the Philippines like the 3 stars and a sun and the feather inked pen. According to the bearer, every tattoo have stories and many Filipino, including him, loves to show their pride in their nation. This is unfinished tattoo and Jowald still wants to add up some more in the future.

If you are nationalistic like Allistair Jay of San Francisco, might consider to have this kind of tattoo. It is bold and need not to say more on how much you love your country, your origin and your blood.

KKK. Ku Klux Klan? No.

It’s Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan. Supreme and Venerable Society of the Children of the Nation in English translation. This could be one reason why alphabet agencies sprang out like beans: CSI, NCIS, FBI, NYPD. You name it, you have it.

There are so much to tell about KKK or the Katipunan and a million words are not enough. Let’s make this short. The Katipunan is a historical organization founded by some of the well-known Filipino anti-Spanish revolutionaries like Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. Through arm uprising, the society aimed to end Spanish cruelties to the Filipinos during the colonial period.

Trivia: National Hero Jose Rizal rejected the idea of revolution by the Katipuneros believing it was premature and would only lead to deaths of many Filipinos. Albeit considered as an honorary president, he never became a member of the KKK.
