On July 4, seasoned comedian Janno Gibbs cursed at a basher who swore at him on Facebook after posting about the challenges of paying taxes for middle-class people.
Gibbs posted a screenshot of the Facebook post from the netizen who cussed at him on a deleted Instagram post.
“Hoy Janno Gibbs lahat tayo ay nagbabayad ng tax b*w*k*ng i*a ka moving on.”
Gibbs then expressed his disappointment over the netizen’s rude comment.
“Ganito na ba talaga tayo ngayon? (disappointed faces emojis).”
He noted that he remained decent and calm when expressing his social and political views.
“Oo vocal ako sa mga social at political views ko. Pero laging mahinahon, disente at may halong komedya.”
He then clarified that he only seeks a decent discourse with his post. However, he cited that he could be rude to those who are disrespectful to him.
“Dahil sa vocal ako, alam kong may kaakibat itong kritisismo at open ako dito. Handa ako sa masinsinang diskurso.
“Yun nga ang pakay ko e. Basta’t disente ang usapan.
“Pero kung bastos ka, marunong din ako nu’n, P*k*n*ng i*a mo ka!”
