“Jejemon”
Ang Jejemon ay isang kaganapan ng pop culture sa Pilipinas na mailalarawan bilang isang pagmamalabis ng fReAk, LOL at pananalitang l33t. Ito ay kamukhang-kamukha sa katapat nitong Polako na tinatawag na Pokemoniaste pismo' (‘Pokemon na panunulat’). Ang mga Jejemon ay inilalarawan ng Talahuluganang Urban bilang ang mga tao na "nakagawa na ibahin ang Wikang Ingles sa punto na hindi na ito nauunawan at mga lipon sa internet. Ang isang Jejemon ay inilalarwan bilang ang isa sa "bagong uri ng mga hipster na nakauri ng kanilang wika ngunit pati na rin ang kanilang pananamit." Ginagaya rin ng mga Jejemon ang mga mala-"gangster" na katangian at kaugalian na nagiging kamukha sila sa mga Ingles chav, Tsileanong flaite, Eskosyanong ned, Irlandng skanger, Rusong gopnik at Australiyano at Bagong Selandang bogan.
Etimolohiya
Ang salitang "Jejemon" ay sinasabing nagmula sa mga tagagamit ng internet na nagta-type ng "hehehe" bilang "jejeje" marahil dahil ang "jeje" ay nanggaling sa Kastila na ang mga nagsasalita ay ginagamit ang salita bilang pantawa o dahil ang mga titik ng "h" at "j" at katabi ang isa't-isa at ang sinasabing "-mon" ay nanggaling sa Hapnes na anime na Pokémon, na ang "-mon" ay nangangahulugan bilang "halimaw" (monster) at dito nagmula ang mga "jeje monsters" (literal na "mga halimaw na jeje").
Jejenese at Jejebet
Ang sosyalekto ng mga Jejemon na tinatawag na Jejenese (magiging literal na Jejenismo sa Wikang Tagalog) ay nanggaling mula sa Ingles, Filipino at ang kanilang paiba-ibang Taglish. Ang kanilang alpabeto, ang Jejebet (magiging literal na Jejebeto sa Wikang Tagalog) ay gumagamit ang Alpabetong Romano, kasam na ang mga Numero Arabiko at iba pang mga espesyal na karakter. Nabubuo ang mga salita sa pagiba-iba ng mga posisyon ng titik s isang salita, palitang pagmamalaking titik sobrang paggamit ng mg titik na H, X o Z at paghahalo ng mga numerikong karakter at ng ating normal na alpabeto. Ang pagbabaybay ay katulad sa Pananalitang Leet.
Mga halimbawa: * Filipino: "3ow ph0w, mUsZtAh nA?" salin sa Filipino bilang "Hello po, kamusta na?", * English: "i wuD LLyK tO knOw moR3 bOut u. crE 2 t3ll mE yur N@me? jejejejeje!" salin sa Ingles bilang "I would like to know more about you, care to tell me your name? Hehehehe!" * aQcKuHh- ibig sabihin ay ako * lAbqCkyOuHh- ibig sabihin ay mahal kita * yuHh- ibig sabihin ay ikaw * jAjaJa- pagtawa * jeJejE- ibang-anyo ng jAjaJa; * iMiszqcKyuH- ibig sabihin ay nami-miss kita * eEoWpFhUeEhsxz - ibig sabihin ay kumusta

'Wangwang' at 'Level-up'
Salita ng Taon
Ang “Wangwang” ni David Michael San Juan, propersor sa De La Salle Univeristy (DLSU) ang siyang hinirang sa salita ng taon.
Ayon kay San Juan, ang salitang Wangwang, sa kasalukuyan, ay maaari nang gamitin bilang pang-uri, pangngalan, at pandiwa.
“Ang salitang ito (wangwang) ay may potensiyal na magpakilos… Sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay diin sa bagong kahulugan nito, ang wangwang bilang pag-iingay, pagrereklamo, pangangampanya, [at] panawagan,” ani San Juan.
Sa pagtatapos ng presentasyon, ibinida ni San Juan ang bigat ng salitang wangwang sa ating bansa at kamalayan.
“Sa pangkalahatan, iniligtas tayo ng salitang wangwang sa luma nating sakit na pagsasawalang bahala sa mga usaping bayan,” ani San Juan.
Nagtabla naman sa ikalawang gantimpala sina Joselito de los Reyes, propesor sa Faculty of Engineering ng Unibersidad, para sa salitang “Level-up” at John Enrico Torralba, propesor sa DLSU, para sa salitang “Pagpag.”
Ayon kay De los Reyes, nararapat na maging salita ng taon ang level-up dahil lahat ng tao’y nakauugnay rito.
“Ang level-up ay pagpapataas o pagpapaunlad sa nasusukat na antas ng buhay… Lahat tayo ay naghahangad [ng pag-level-up],” ani De los Reyes.
Nagkamit din si De los Reyes ng gantimpala bilang pinakamalikhaing presentasyon ng lahok na salita.
Ang pagpag, ayon kay Torralba, ay mayroong diksyunaryong kahulugang pagwasiwas, pag-alog, at pagtampal nang paulit-ulit upang maalis ang duming nakadikit. Ngunit sa kasalukuyan, ang salitang pagpag ay tumutukoy sa scavenger food o pagkaing hinahalungkat mula sa basura upang kainin o pagkakitaan.
“Poverty has forced them (mahihirap) to do so,” paliwanag ni Torralba.
“Jejemon” ang hinirang na Salita ng Taon nang nakaraang taon.
Ang Sawikaan: Salita ng Taon ay nagsimula noong 2004 at taunan nang ginanap hanggang 2007. Dito, hinirang ang mga salitang Canvass (2004,) Jueteng (2005,) Lobat (2006,) at Miskol (2007.)
Ayon kay Almario, sa apat na taon ng Sawikaan ay napuna ng mga alagad ng sining na ang mga nagwawaging Salita ng Taon ay hindi mga orihinal na salitang Filipino. Dahil dito, nabuo ang komperensiyang Ambagan na itinaguyod ng FIT upang bigyang pagkakataon ang mga diyalekto sa bansa na mag-ambag ng mga orihinal na salita sa kanilang diyalekto na walang tumbas sa Filipino, mga salitang may kaparehong bigkas sa Flipino ngunit iba ang kahulugan. Ang Ambagan ay tugon sa 1987 Constitution: Article VIV, Section 6: “The national language of the Philippines is Filipino. As it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.”
Taong 2009 inilunsad ang Ambagan at ang sumunod na taon ay ginugol naman sa Sawikaan: Salita ng Taon. Simula noon ay taun-taong naghahalili ang dalawang komperensiya.
Ang Salita ng Taon ay pinagdedesisyunan ng mga kinatawan ng FIT.
Samantala, ang pinakamahusay na presentasyon ay pinagbobotohan ng mga dumalo sa pamamagitan ng secret balloting.
Pormal na inihandog ang komperensiya sa mga dumalo sa pambungad na pananalita na kinabibilangan nina Romulo Baquiran, tagapamahalang direktor ng Filipinas Institute of Translation, Inc. (FIT), Maria Luz Vilches, dekano ng Paaralang Humanidades sa Ateneo, at Galileo Zafra, direktor ng komperensiya.
Ang komperensiya ay nilahukan ng mga alagad ng sining tulad nina Virgilio Almario, National Artist for Literature, Michael Coroza, secretary general ng Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas (Umpil), at Vim Nadera, nagsilbing guro ng palatuntunan.
Ang komperensiya ay itinaguyod ng FIT, Wika ng Kultura at Agham, Inc. (WIKA), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA,) Paaralang Humanidades: Mga Paaralang Loyola, Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila, National Book Development Board (NBDB,) at Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

...Life of Filipinos Immigrants and their American dreams Filipino Americans are now the second largest group of Asian Americans as well as the second largest immigrant group in the United States. According to the U.S. census, there are approximately 9 million people living in America who are of Asian descent. Twenty-three percent of that are of Chinese ancestry; 20% are Filipino; 12% are Asian Indian; and Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese each share about 10%. They are neither alien nor citizen, and they are US “national”. Similar to other Asian groups, they were hired as cheaper labors.

...migration and determine the topics that will be examined in depth. In addition, the analysis will explore the historical and socio-cultural aspects of Philippine migration and the formation of Filipino diaspora in the UK. The concept of identity and the idea of homeland and hostland will be analysed in the context of diaspora community. Furthermore, this analysis will reflect on the issues related to cross-cultural transmission of values and identify the influence of diaspora communities in contemporary British society. Hannah migrated to UK together with her mother and three brothers as dependents of the father who came few years earlier for employment in London. According to available data of Philippine Embassy in London (PEL), there are approximately 250,000 Filipino migrants in the UK (PEL, 2011a). However, the original narrative lacks detailed description of the Filipino diaspora in the UK to support a conclusive definition of this community. This analysis will review all available information from the narrative and other data gathered about the history of Philippine migration to UK. The first wave of Filipino labour migration took place from 1900 to early 1940s with USA as main destination (Gonzales 1998, p.26). The second wave was from 1940s to early 1970s. After World War II, Filipino war veterans and their families, business people and specialists such as medical personnel or engineers left their devastated country and migrated to Canada, West Europe or the USA (Gonzales...

Reading Habits

...Language and Culture There are many ways in which the phenomena of language and culture are intimately related. Both phenomena are unique to humans and have therefore been the subject of a great deal of anthropological, sociological, and even memetic study. Language, of course, is determined by culture, though the extent to which this is true is now under debate. The converse is also true to some degree: culture is determined by language - or rather, by the replicators that created both, memes. Language as Determined by Culture Early anthropologists, following the theory that words determine thought, believed that language and its structure were entirely dependent on the cultural context in which they existed. This was a logical extension of what is termed the Standard Social Science Model, which views the human mind as an indefinitely malleable structure capable of absorbing any sort of culture without constraints from genetic or neurological factors. In this vein, anthropologist Verne Ray conducted a study in the 1950's, giving color samples to different American Indian tribes and asking them to give the names of the colors. He concluded that the spectrum we see as "green", "yellow", etc. was an entirely arbitrary division, and each culture divided the spectrum separately. According to this hypothesis, the divisions seen between colors are a consequence of the language we learn, and do not correspond to divisions in the natural world. A similar hypothesis is upheld in the...

The Effects of Jejemon Phenomenon in Language Proficiency

...modern era, language changes constantly. The language that we use today is getting wider and wider. Nowadays, we use technology like cellphones and computers to convey our messages and through these, people are learning on how to cope up and change the way they convey their thoughts and ideas in different forms. Indeed, English proficiency is one of the important things that we need to practice. The proper usage of both Filipino and English language is one of the important aspects of Philippine education. Correct grammar, syntax and pronunciation are the main concerns of improving our language proficiency to maintain an effective communication locally and internationally, but due to the continuous development of language, the emergence of Jejemon words became a phenomenon in the Philippines especially on its online breakthrough on April 14, 2010 at Pinoy Tumblr.
