Blogpost #8: Funny Tikbalang!

Nowadays, Tikbalang are became funny and they are used to make a symbol of many things in our generation. Comedy , in the contemporary meaning of the term, is any discourse or work generally intended to be humorous or to amuse by inducing laughter, especially in theater, television, film and stand-up comedy. I include comedy because other people are interested in funny things and they make smile when there are things in their surroundings that makes them happy.

Tikbalang now are the symbol of homosexual because in television we can hear that some homosexual artists make as a Tikbalang because their mouth and sometimes their face are look like Tikbalang. But this is not mean that I insult them I am just write what I hear in the television. 

Like Jose Marie Borja Viceral who uses the stage name "Vice Ganda", is a Filipino television presenter, endorser, actor, and recording artist. Viceral is a regular host/judge on ABS-CBN’s noontime variety show It's Showtime, and has starred in several films, two of which are considered the highest-grossing films in Philippine cinema is one who have the role of Tikbalang in the fanhtasy series "Juan Dela Cruz".

According to this article entitled First look: Vice as tikbalang in 'Juan dela Cruz' posted  by ABS-CBN.Vice Ganda confirmed  that he will play the character of Santana, the queen of tikbalangs, which are creatures that are supposed to be half-man, half-horse.The comedian, however, stressed that he will not be a regular in the series because of his busy schedule. Apart from the noontime show "It's Showtime" and the weekly show "Gandang Gabi Vice," Vice Ganda is also working on the movie "Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy" for this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

Being a homosexual is not mean that you are a Tikbalang it is just a symbol to make some people laugh and smile, but it is not intended to hurt the feeling of homosexual people but to realize to people that they are important in our country.

Tikbalang have a good and bad effects in our lives. Like they make us happy, creative, sometime bad, realistic and funny. So with those perspective with Tikbalang we proved in ourselves that they are important to us because of their simple effects that can we use as an inspiration, sometime hobby, and a character in our lives.
