9. MY BLOOPER OF THE YEAR
My response to an inmate during an SS workshop about TIME with Daryl, Maxine, Randale and Louie
"Mahirap nga po pag nawalan ng bato." See facebook post for details
I am not exactly proud about this pero this is a great learning experience for me. Salamat sa magaling na obserbasyon ni Daryl Malonzo :P Re-post from Daryl: Today's Funny Story, while at Bilibid Prison with Louie P. Cagasan Jr., Maxine Joyce Torres Pinson, Randale Polo and the star Aylin Bello of Skwelahang Sikolohiya. At around 1:20 P.M. a discussion about time was given by Aylin and Max, a short sharing of the inmates followed. During the sharing, Aylin made mention about a research regarding SMOKING which leads to Clinical Disorders. Then she asked the inmates: "Sino ba sa inyo and naninigarilyo dito?" Some of them responded through raising their hands and pointing at each other. Suddenly one of the inmates spoke, saying "Ako po ma'am dati naninigarilyo at paminsan-minsan nagbabato, pero ang hirap po talaga tigalan ang bato." Our ever emphatic Aylin blurts: "Oo nga po, ang hirap po talaga pag natanggalan kayo ng BATO." While I was writing at the board, I stopped and processed what Aylin was talking about, then we went on laughing because we realized that she was not using the word BATO for a slang of a prohibited drugs, rather using BATO referring to Kidney. GRABE!! DAMI KO TALAGANG TAWA! What made me happy was her delivery, it was full of empathy of some kind and it sounded very endearing. But analyzing it, it might be the worst response you could ever give to an inmate whose confessing the use of BATO! :)
