You Know You Are Cebuano If...

Most Cebuanos abroad when asked where they are from, their answer is always "CEBU". That's how proud Cebuanos are. And there isn't anything bad about it. Mind you, I am a true-blue Cebuano. Born and raised as one. And I got the best of both worlds. I have a dad who grew up in the streets of Cebu, and a mom who was raised in the southern part of provincial Cebu.

It doesn't get more BISDAK than me.

Okay fine, so I am having trouble with some of my Cebuano words, as most Cebuanos do. That's what is distinctively Cebuano about well, CEBUANOS! You are a proud one, but you absolutely have no idea what the hard-core Cebuano terms are.

SCREENSHOT: REQUESTS TO JOIN THE PAGE

So why the sudden interest in the topic? Check this out: YOU KNOW YOU ARE CEBUANO IF Facebook Page.

It started 45 hours ago. Started by one of the admins who works and lives abroad, who just made the page for the fun of it. He added a few friends to help him manage the page, and I happen to be the first few people who joined. There were less than 200 people when I joined this page. Now, there are 11,300 members and 25,700+ posts.

Talk about VIRAL!

So my fingertips are calloused from approving requests to join the page. Yes, I became an admin on the page because I spent too much time there. I also made a few friends. Most of them bored to death abroad, wanting so much to come home.

It's nice to read about anything that's distinctively Cebuano. You can tell from the post how old these members were. Some would even post really old pictures, and comment about really old popular establishments that do not exist anymore.

More importantly, everyone is just having a grand time. Maybe that's why the page has gone viral. It doesn't require too many shit from you. It's an honest page where people share how they grow up, and yes sometimes, who they really are.

Why don't you pay a visit. I am sure you can learn a thing or two from us Cebuanos!


Peace, Love, and a lot of Island Sun!
