Behind the conyo culture
“It’s so init here, diba?” “Those shoes are so mahal talaga!” “Can you make para here, boss?” Do you know anyone who talks like this?

The legacy of Mang Jack
In television, discipline officers are depicted as larger-than-life, clipboard-carrying, bloodthirsty hunters of rule-breakers and hoodlums.
