Sana kunin ng Philippine Star ang PB kapag natuluyang pinatalsik sya sa PDI.






The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) has suspended its hugely popular "Pugad Baboy" comic strip, after it reportedly offended an exclusive Catholic girls school with a joke about lesbian students, and perhaps lesbian nuns.

The Inquirer says "Pugad Baboy" will not appear in its pages pending an internal investigation by its readers' advocate. The newspaper reportedly received a complaint from St. Scholastica's College in Manila, which was the subject of the comic strip in question.

Medina himself acknowledged in a Facebook post that he had been "fired". In a subsequent post on Thursday, the cartoonist said: "What? Wait... hindi pa pala ako fired. Suspended lang hanggang magkaroon ng consensus na sipain ako. Pero...doon din siguro ang punta no'n. Sigh."

"If you zoom in on that particular strip that got me fired, you'll see that the strip first appeared in MARCH. No reaction then. It was reissued after i made a series of anti-marcos strips, then BOOM! nag-trending sa twitter. interesting. I smell a consPIGracy..." Medina said in his Facebook page.

Fans and concerned netizens on Thursday were quick to launch an online petition urging the Philippine Daily Inquirer to keep Medina and "Pugad Baboy" - and threatening the paper with a boycott should the cartoonist be given the boot.

A petition titled, "Philippine Daily Inquirer: Do not fire Pol Medina, do not remove Pugad Baboy" is currently active on Change.org.

I don't think ilalaglag siya ng PDI ng ganun lang. As a newspaper, pinangangalagaan din ng PDI ung pangalan nila so kailangan nilang magpakita ng move to reprimand Mr Medina. Dahil maprinsipyo rin siya, most likely nagkasagutan yan with the editor kaya iniisip nyang tatanggalin na siya.

Anong mangyayari kapat umutot si Ferdinand Marcos sa loob ng LRT cabin?
Ituturo yung katabi sasabihin siya ang umutot dahil communista siya at ide-declare na martial law ang LRT cabin para wala na raw uutot (maliban sa kanya).

late naman ang reaction ng st. scho.
and in the first place? bakit naipublish ang strip na yun ni Pol if they knew it'll be a sensitive one?

mali si PMJ dun na nag name drop sha , pero uber sensitive naman ng St.Scho na porkit sa Comic strip eh ipapaganun nila. Di ba pwedeng dahil sa comic strip na yun eh mamulat yung mata nila sa ngyayari? March nilabas ang strip then june nag file ng kaso. Magpapasukan na raw kasi  laffman::

Kasalanan ni Charice 'to e. Kung hindi siya umamin, malamang, walang pumansin sa strip na yan... laffman::

Can't please everyone, sadly.

Hindi agad nag react ang St. Scho:
"Bakit ngayon lang?"

Nag react ang St. Scho:
"Masyado naman sensitive ang Saint Scho!!!!"

(Sorry, yung previous post ko might be misunderstood to be douchey, it was not my intention.)

To add, sa tingin ko ang issue eh walang issue ang St. Scho.

Kung si Charice ang binanggit nya, ma-ju-justify pa nya na current issue yun kasi nasa news si Charice.

Yung St. Scho, san galing yun? Kaya parang lumalabas eh spite o attack sya sa institution. Whether what he said is true or not, is not my place to judge.

For him to insinuate that the outrage is related to his critical comments on the Marcoses is probably not the best move. Maybe not all, but surely a majority of Saint Scholastica alumni, teachers, admin and students are genuinely angry and offended. For him to suggest it's otherwise will just make them angrier.  :(

Quoting Carlos P. Celdran from his facebook page:
"I agree that Pol Medina Jr. should apologize to St. Scholastica for the remarks he made in this "Pugad Baboy" comic strip. Sigh. We all know St. Paul makes more lesbians."

Yung Charice po, ako lang nagsabi. It's my personal opinion kasi the strip actually came out in March. Pero mukhang npublish uli dahil napag-usapan ang lesbianism. Those who follow PB will notice na madalas magrepublish ng strips na related sa current events. Sorry for the confusion.

Nagsorry na rin si Pol, to St Scho and to the Catholic Church.

typical overreaction ng institusyon yan. syempre defensive sila kasi by name sila nabanggit.

pero overreaction pa din. hindi kasi sanay ang mga pinoy at ang mga katolikong relihiyoso na ma-criticize kaya balat-sibuyas.

kung ako kay pmjr, hindi ako magso-sorry. satire naman ang pugad baboy. hindi ko lang inasahan na ganoon din reaction ng pdi. parang walang journalistic integrity.

antagal nilang pinabayaan si pmjr kahit na matindi ang banat sa mga pulitiko, ngayong clergy at sekswalidad ang topic, biglang bawi. tsk.

  • We would like you to know a few things.
Personally, I don't think Pol Medina, Jr. should've named a specific school -- especially not that specific school. Does he know how hard it is for two girls to come out as an official couple in St. Scholastica's or--for that matter--St. Paul's (especially now that Fr. James Reuter is gone)?
