Lately, we’ve seen our fair share of people hopping onto the bandwagon and posing in the craziest ways just to get the perfect planking and owling shot…

But apparently, that wasn’t good enough for us. I mean, with our being innovative and all, why do we Filipinos have to settle for something so passe when we can come up with our own trend? Thus, the birth of Bakling! I have to hand it to whoever started this, seeing the first couple of pictures made me laugh and say, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES! So, when in Manila, be proud to be Filipino and do the Bakling!

i don’t think this is homophobic…for me this only show that whatever new…gays has their own ways…and styles…before planking and owling…this style “Bakling” has been long existing…
I know it’s not intentional but Bakling is very homophobic.
Hahaha, after hours of writing academic papers, it’s a breath of fresh air to write about something not- so- smart :))
Oh god…. you had to write about this one…. lol. Please don’t do this…. I have faith that there is still some class left in all of you… =P
