When In Manila, we’re not attributing any of the images below since we follow our government officials and they, or at least one of them, say that there is no such thing as plagiarism in the Philippines. So pretty much, we made all these memes below. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Senate and my Tito.
Joking and sarcasm aside.
In case you’re not familiar, here’s the short version of the story: There is comedian who turned into a Senator in the Philippines who was caught plagiarizing from bloggers, twisting their words and meanings into supporting his supposed divine tasks. Anyway, at first the comedian turned senator denied it on TV and defaced and mocked bloggers, but then his staff admitted to copying, to which the only thing to do would be to apologize, but the comedian turned senator said hell no and kept going, he then stated that there was no such thing as “plagiarism” in the Philippines and his “cheap of staff” stated that even god himself copied when he made us as we are all copies of his image, to which of course the whole internetosphere when ballistic on these claims, then following that the Senator, known now as TitoSen, says he was being “cyber bullied” from the outburst. And then at the end of it all, to prove a point comedian turned TitoSen went back to the senate floor to deliver a speech and prove his point but was caught plagiarizing AGAIN (IKR), well translating, his speech from that of Robert Kennedy that was given in 1966. We assume now that he will deface Kennedy like he did the bloggers and say something like “Why would I copy him, he’s just a Kennedy” (bakit ko kokopyahin yan, Kennedy lang yan) and will state that there are no laws against translation in the Philippines.
Whew. Hope you got all that.
Anyway, here are some of our favorite, and some of the funniest TitoSen memes and photos that came out since the whole “legal plagiarism” thingy. Blogger lang kami…
Sotto Copy
English translation: “Who did I copy from now? That was in Tagalog. Does Kennedy know how to speak Tagalog?” – TitoSen (clueless)
Best TitoSen Quotes and Tito Sotto Memes from a Blogger Lang
Dapat talaga dyan kay sotto magresign na. We should impeach him. Kasi yung isang justice sa supreme court pinapaimpeach dhil sa plagiarism bakit hindi pwede gawin yun sa isang senador na walang alam?
Isa ka pang engot. Hindi pwedeng i-impeach ang senador! Pareho kayo ni Sotto pa epal pero walang alam. Mag research ka nga muna bago umepal.
HE SHOULD FIRED HIS WRITERS… THEY ARE DISGUSTING STAFFS…
so true.. to think that they are working for a RP senator, they must be responsible enough with the speech they are creating. tsk tsk.. What would other countries’ politicians think of our senators?.. incompetent?.. And also,e should apologize at least to the blogger..
Not once but twice? Oh man, this guy’s speechwriters are probably going to get whacked. They’re obviously cut from the same cloth as Sotto and his legal team: plagiarists, cheaters, and liars. Thank you internet for helping expose these morons.
He should realize that he is going down on history as the Senator who plagiarized, denied and tried to discredit and silence his critics. He should just go back to being a comedian because he is definitely doing a great job on making us laugh.
Poor Tito Sen….tsk tsk tsk
hahahaha
