My Like Muni-Muni
just because my car is maganda
and i have my yaya and manong driver lagi
it’s not like
i don’t like know how to ride a jeep
or make para when i ride a bus ‘di ba
why are you always making me lait?
just because my clothes are laging bago
and like they’re always from mango and zara
doesn’t mean like i got them at trinoma
or rockwell
or greenbelt
hello
this is like ukay kaya!
it doesn’t mean na
i don’t know how to make tawad
or make ipon my money
by not eating sa labas
and making uwi agad para
they won’t make me aya na to technohub
or to katip
so i can buy p250 lang na Nike
in greenhills.
so why are you always making me lait?
just because my baon is always like
pasta and chicken and beef
and i already ate na in via mare and
cafe ysabel and cibo
di naman ibig sabihin na
i never ate isaw or 6 pieces siomai or
pancit canton na instant in my life
i ate many times na before in the
kwek-kwek places in batasan kaya
with the suka the buko juice and the pipino!
my tiyan is not maselan, okay?
why do you always make me lait?
so how come you say na you’re
trying to not be mapanghati
especially to the madlang people
eh ako
just because i talk like this
and my life is not like theirs
sa akin
hindi niyo mapigilang maging mapanghati?
