"Higit sa mga prestihiyosong pagkilala, mas kailangan ng libro ng mga mambabasa."
Kakabasa ko lang ulit nito nung isang araw (may nakita kasi kong nakahambalang sa kwarto ng pinsan ko) at ang masasabi ko lang "Love is lovelier the second time around". Hahaha! Pero seriously, natawa pa rin ako sa pagbabasa ng librong ito. Maraming beses. At nasaktan rin dahil medyo tinamaan ako sa mga hirit ni Bob Ong. At humanga rin dahil ang galing nya napansin at naisip pa nya yon, I mean, yung mga sinulat nyang panunuligsa.
Nahahati ito sa tatlong kwento. Yung una hango sa tipikal na Filipino-action movie. Yung pangalawa sa title pa lang alam mo nang Shake, Rattle and Roll ang ginaya. Tapos yung pangatlo, re-hash ng Marimar. Pang-script ang writing style na ginamit ni Bob Ong since parang hinango nga sa movie yung tatlong kwento.
Preach-y na kung preach-y pero sa aking pakiwari'y tama naman yung mga napansin at naisip ni Bob Ong sa mga bagay-bagay sa mundo (kasi napansin ko rin at alam kong napansin nyo rin); tungkol sa mga pelikula, mga libro, tv, media, etc. Ginamit nya ang librong ito para isambulat sa atin ang mapapait at masasakit na katotohanan tungkol sa mga nabanggit sa itaas (at sa hindi rin nabanggit sa itaas). Yun talaga siguro ang point ng Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin, dinaan nya lang sa mga kwento para maiba naman at para talagang entertaining.

Bob Ong did it again! This time he criticized and chided the Philippine television variety shows, game shows, dramas, soap operas, reality shows and even the movies. What made me love this book so much was the fact that I could totally relate (once again) to the author's expostulations and reprehensions about the status of the Philippine movie and TV industry nowadays. How dismaying it is that what used to be enjoyable and something that is a source of Filipino pride became nothing but a laughingstock and shallow entertainment for idiots? Of course all these 'kajologs-an' and 'kabaduy-an' are part of the Filipino culture and humor but whatever happened to the arts? Where did the producers' and writers' artistic and creative minds go? Why is imitation and piracy the 'in' thing when we can have the most talented and skilled minds if we just put them together. :( I think this book is an eye-opener not just for someone like me who'd rather watch Korean, Japanese and Hollywood TV and movies over my own country's. It made me realize WHY I never watch Philippine TV in the first place. -.- The abundance of stereotypical characters and generic plots coupled with lame acting from second-rate young stars who are either a product of a talent search or some goddamn reality show on TV are just too frustrating and even disturbing.
I finished this book in like 4 hours and THAT is a record for me since I never finish anything in a day. ^^ I guess the long trip back home from Manila yesterday did something to my brain cells. Haha. Or maybe coz I didn't have any distractions - like the Internet - to keep me from reading nonstop. :D
This is probably one of his best works, IMO, and my second fave next to "Abnkkbsnplako".

The usual Bob Ong novel element is present in this novel: humor, Filipino family ties, the stand of our society and the government, national and worldwide issues. This novel is three-part one portraying our nation’s most loved films that also came in three-parts like the classics, Shake, Rattle & Roll and such. Each part in this novel told a story that you’ll laugh hard into it but in the end it will opens up a lot of questions in your head and gives you a lesson you can live by.

A jab on the Philippine entertainment industry. Mapa-movie, or teleserye man. As if more jabs were needed after this dumpster fire of a week.

Ikalawang pagbabasa. Taong 2021.
Ang librong ito ni Bob Ong ay binubuo ng tatlong kuwento. Parang screenplay ang pagkakasulat ng mga kuwento.
Nakakatawa naman ang pagkakasulat ni Bob Ong dito. Naalala ko no'ng una kong binasa 'to, ang daming beses kong natawa. Malinaw na malinaw rin sa isip ko 'yung mga nangyayari. Para talagang pelikulang Pilipino. Malilibang ka talaga. Maganda rin ang mga ideya sa kuwento. Marami kang matututunan. May sense talaga.
Oo, maganda ang mga punto, kaso hindi ko gusto ang pagkaka-deliver. Ang naging dating ay preachy. Oo, minsan effective ang ginamit niyang writing style, kaso mas marami ang instances na awkward. Siguro mas mae-enjoy ko ito kung ang pagkakasulat ni Bob Ong ay kagaya ng sa Stainless Longganisa, Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas, at 56.
Pero dahil nga magaganda ang mga punto ni Bob Ong (iyon naman ang mas mahalaga), worth it pa ring basahin ang librong ito. Isa ito sa mga pinakamalaman niyang libro. Maraming masasakit na katotohanan.
Magsama kayo ng palitaw mo sa impiyerno!
