“Eat sh*t” has always been part of our colorful vernacular, a regular Americanism shoved down our throat as part of America’s Manifest Destiny, with a healthy gulp of Coca-cola, a side of chili fries, and internalized inferiority complex. But a bizarre thing happened almost a hundred years after this idiomatic expression was introduced to the Philippines: We started to take it quite literally. In this long-form special from journalist Carlos Marvel (with additional research from our staff here at New Liberal Post), read an oral history of this revolting trend gathered from a diverse cast of voices.
"Read the trigger warning before you proceed. 'Yan ang banayad na alaala ng Oral Hystery ni Siege Malvar. Totoo nga sa promise. Ang tanong, bakit kailangan natin ng mga akdang tulad nito? Dahil mahalaga ring emosyon at kognisyon ang habag at disgusto. Habag para sa mga tao at mambabasa na hindi mapag-iba ang dapat pandirihan sa kinagigiliwan. Sa mga kinikibit balikat at dapat usisain. Tumatanggi ang akdang maging seryoso, kahit seryoso nitong tinutumbok ang palyadong compass ng ating habag at disgusto. Pag nalampasan ang trigger, saka tatalas ang reader." -- Luna Sicat Cleto
