The bottom who cried for justice

I am the kind of person who lives in a bubble. As much as possible I intentionally avoid listening to news and reading the paper as I easily get tired of the same violence and injustice happening in the world. However, these kinds of things still manage to permeate my bubble as I use social media.

So far, there had been two people that somehow piqued my interest : Jamich and Justin aka "the boy who cried books."

For the former, honestly I haven't seen or tried to watch their videos. They became popular under my nose and here is yet another couple with combined names. I wouldn't have been interested at all until I saw a "proposal video" done by Mich in the middle of a program by Bo Sanchez. What made it even more interesting was that Jam, was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. I almost got convinced.

This was until I saw and heard about #iponparasaiphone wherein at the time, the iP6 was supposedly priced at 100k. What made it worse was that people actually donated and some sold their humble units to contribute money... and this is what they see? After a week later, they released a statement wherein "money has never been an issue." Insensitive pricks.

My friend Dan, also died of cancer early February. He looked so different from what I remembered. He hid from us during the entire ordeal. Yet, here is a couple smothering us with photos and videos and tweets of every minute detail of their lives.

Eventually, the inevitable happened and Jam died. However, Mich couldn't even pretend to be a grieving "fiancee." Then I recalled, why didn't they ever get married? Wasn't there a couple in UP PGH where they arranged for a wedding and the husband died the same day? Then here comes Mich with a new "flame" barely a month after Jam's death. Some even postulated the affair had been going on long before.

Famewhoring.

Here comes the second dude "the boy who cried books."

At first, ok... what's up with that. Until I read a Rappler article about him and found him more worthy of attention. So much attention that celebrities also joined in the bandwagon. It was until one night when I (thought) I saw him at Wensha Timog.

I was like whuuuuuut?! Not that he doesn't deserve to be there or anything but after learning so much about you and your aspirations you have money to spend on a spa? I decided to confront a "fan," a former officemate and still good friend named Carlo.

Seth

I wasn't able to take or ask for his photo. I think i just saw "the boy who cried books" here at Wensha Timog.

Carlo
Ay sayang!
Tuesday
3/31, 1:24am

Seth

Pero akala ko ba poor at homeless sya?
Tuesday
3/31, 6:57am

Carlo

Ay no haha lumayas siya
Tuesday
3/31, 9:57am

Seth

Yun nga pero bakit nasa kalsada and nakapambahay
3/31, 10:02am

Carlo

Nagbebenta siya ng books nagiipon for his tuition

His mom "disowned" him daw and is no longer supporting him
3/31, 10:03am

Seth

I heard that story. Pero bakit sya nasa wensha? If ever sha nga yun. How is this any different from jamich pretending to be a grieving fiancee and just basking in the limelight
3/31, 10:04am

Carlo

Sana tinanong mo kung siya nga lol
3/31, 10:04am

Seth

Yun lang. Pero if that was him. Will that change your perception of him?
3/31, 10:04am

Carlo

Kung siya nga, baka may nanlibre or something

Hindi lol
3/31, 10:06am

Seth

Im puzzled. Kasi sa akin, seeing a striving lawyer in a place quite expensive for his ordeal is kinda contradicting

Yung context ba. It feels fake na tuloy for me.
3/31, 10:07am

Carlo

Sa FB page madaming nagrereach out to him. Maybe nilibre siya

He's never put on an image naman na aping api siya

He never said he's poor. Moneyless, yes, kasi nga he's no longer being supported

So he's finding ways which led him to meet groups of people who are willing to help him or treat him out. Naging sort of "celeb"
3/31, 10:09am

Seth

But u do get what i mean. Parang yung jamich lang din na people donated money for his chemo then itong si kuya may hirit na ipon para sa iphone. Then they become defensive na money is not an issue.
3/31, 10:09am

Carlo

Hehe I don't see it that way

Kasi yung libre iba naman yun

Well kung nilibre nga siya

We don't know naman what the real story is
3/31, 10:10am

Seth

Ok. Benefit of the doubt na lang talaga
3/31, 10:10am

Carlo

True. I don't see him kasi as namamalimos or kapos na kapos

Just someone who's temporarily making ends meet by selling books

Pero for sensationalism the media is portraying him as such
3/31, 10:14am

Seth

Kasi ito lang. So he has been bookish and all ever since pero he never achieved that fame and sympathy if he didnt end up on the streets. Filipinos tend to relate to an underdog kasi. Pero to which he's not. Ang packaging kasi sa kanya now eh parang aahon sa kahrapan thingy
3/31, 10:15am

Carlo

Yun na nga. But that's not his fault. He's always been transparent on his FB posts.

Nakakasama niya pa sila Alessandra de Rossi lol
3/31, 10:15am

Josh Asistin

Sabagay. Marami lang nakikiride on dito

Even yung nabalitang super summa cum laude ng UP noon. Di naman daw tshirt jeans saka tsinelas suot nya on a daily basis. Naka poloshirt and all. Presentable pero media wanted to play the angle "isko ng bayan"
3/31, 10:19am

Carlo Rioflorido Yap

Mahilig kasi magsensationalize media kaya we need to be discerning

Parang yung pinortray ni Angel Locsin dati sa MMK na nabaliw

Moral of the story?

Do not believe everything on the internet.
