- Twitter user shares a video of his mother’s reaction to his tattoo prank.
- Netizens share how relatable it is especially for those who have Filipino parents.
We all know that Filipino parents are protective of their children. Even if you’re already an adult, it’s still difficult to acquire permission to do almost everything.
This netizen named Thomas Tolentino decided to prank his mom in the car, fresh from his graduation. He proceeded to tell her that he got a tattoo of the Philippine flag on his thigh and that’s when she started freaking out.
The mother began scolding her son, of course, Filipino style. She stated how his father would find out right away because he was trained in the military.
“Sa tingin mo hindi yan mapapansin ng daddy mo? Ang daddy mo trinain yan sa military. He knows kung sino ang masama at hindi. Alam niya kung sinong nagda-drugs o hindi. Isang tingin palang alam niya kung sinong nagsisinungaling.”
It was also revealed that Thomas recently got ear piercings, which may be one of the reasons why his mother is going nuts over the tattoo. She shared that they still haven’t moved on from the piercings and he once again pulled a “bad boy” move.
“Ayan ang hindi ko gusto sayo yang umaabuso ka na. Alam no na ngang yang hikaw mo hindi pa kami nakaka-recover jan. Ngayon magpapa tattoo ka sa thigh mo? Wala kang konsiderasyon sa magulang mo.”
Just before Thomas revealed that it was just a prank. She said a line that probably most of us heard from our Filipino parents whenever they’re furious at us:
“Kayong lahat ang papatay sakin.”
Filipino Twitter users were amused at the video especially that they can relate to the reaction of the mother as they can see their own parents in her.
As funny as this is, it also is actually a very accurate example of how conservative Filipino parents are. Pero yung “kayo talaga ang papatay sakin eh” EVERY. FILIPINO. MOM. EVER.
lol and when tatays make the situation worse pa by saying “Yan kasi mga nagpapasaway kayo sa nanay niyo.” and then nanay will go on a rant starting from the day we were born until that very moment why she’s mad in the first place
when she said your dad was in the military and she can tell when people are bad im like damn Filipino parents always gotta make up a reason to prove their point lmao
Celebrity mom Pia Magalona also shared the time when her late husband Francis Magalona’s father saw his tattoo for the first time.
When my late husband’s dad first saw HIS tattoo… he asked, “hijo… is that a real tattoo??” He panicked and said, it’s just IRON ON!
Lol yeah, right.. ironed onto his ARM!?!
I asked my mom how she would feel if I got a tattoo and she deadass told me to read the Bible lmfaoo
