A statement from Congressman Prospero Nograles:

He estimates that even the poorest Filipino household spends an average of P25 to P60 per day for their texting needs, which is the equivalent of one to two kilos of rice or of 10 packs of instant noodles.

Not only that...it is a very IDLE habit.

Kun mao diay na, tsismoso pa gihapon ang mga tawo sa atoa.

That means.... nga kon mag-away ang mag-tiayon dili na mag-sininggitay kya mag text2x na lang. What a peaceful life?
OT: Bayat, kumusta kana?  Miss you! Did you get ma mail?

Yes Bayat and did you get my response??? hahaha

I was guilty of this. My trusty Nokia 3210 was practically glued to my hand. I spent a lot of money on loads, mag text lang ug mga wala'y hinungdan sa mga ka textmate. Haaay, I could have put that money to better use.

gudthing naa na mga unlimited text no? like i register ang P20 for 24hours unlimited text

Maayo kay naa na unlimited text dai, sa una wala pa man to maong gasto gyud kaayo. Pero, in fairness, lingaw baya pud ang text, esp kung young and single pa ka, kay kilig baya pud ning naay mga ka textmate, mag greet greet dayon good night ug good morning. LOL

exactly te!! ako i prefer text  than telebabad.. except if cellphone pud..like sun-to-sun network nga free call..kay pwede ko tuwad.higda.cr..etc

Ka nindot na gud ron, naa naman free call kung pareha'g network. Dai, ganahan kos mong avie, bagay nimo ang color nga yellow.

hehe thank you te.. nalingaw ko ana ug kaon sa sisig.. hehe mura kuno ko ana bata

Agaaayyy, sisig! kalami! For one plate of that, I'd endure pain from rayuma. Hehehe

Actually, texting and on-line chatting is the most economical, clean, environmental friendly form of socialization.

Instead of friends travelling, burning expensive fuel to see each other, they can communicate without spending a calorie of energy.

Without texting habit, people would travel to see each other and would waste the whole day with barkadas compared to average 1 hour spent per day on texting.

magpa wanted textmate kew! hehe

An upcoming bill mandating free text messaging inside the Philippines.

However, it raised concerns that it will only cause Service Providers to totally cease texting services due to loss or they may raise phone rates to compensate.

Mackz, several years ago ang text diri sa  Merika is free, dayun nakaatik man ang mga providers nga mas daghan naman ang text kay sa tawag, ila na sad gipabayaran ang text.

te.. text is for free raman jud dapat.. wa man gi bayran ang networks on that.. its all in the gsm something man gud

They, the providers want your money Kiams

ahaha! basta te.. kumbaga ang texting lines..mi apil apil raman na sa phone lines kana na sa call.it's really free.. well sabagay..:0 cge nalang.. if ga reklamo ko, d ayaw ug text. haha

i love text-text-text-text...ting

You're right, Belle. Globe and Smart amassed billions of profits. When Sun Cellular came, they changed their strategy.

The funniest translation job request I received was from a Japanese who wanted the text messages between his Boholana wife and a purported male friend translated into Japanese.

Ako'y namula sa messages. Lisod ra ba kaayo i-translate, tagna-tagna lang jud ko sa flow sa ilang conversation kay di ko mahilig ug ignorante pajud ko sa text talk nga pulos abbreviated ang words...

Mao pa jud to ang unang Bol-anon nga daku nakong gikauwaw. Nagsalig siguro nga di masabtan kay text na, Binol-anon pa jud. I think the husband used the translation at the Family Court to get a divorce.

Another thing, I think the text habit is weakening the English proficiency of young Filipinos, especially in spelling. Unsaon man nga mas nauna pa man nakabihawo mag-text kaysa eksaktong spelling sa words. Bisag sinultian usahay, murag transcription na sa text message. In fact daghan internet forum nga murag text talk ang posts. Diri lang sa TB naa'y mga saktong balak ug klarong pagkasuwat nga opinyon ang mga members.

I think it is this intellectual degradation that will cause the Filipinos' poverty in the long run.

You are right, Sir Benne maka degrade gyud. Mag short cut sa atoa ug text aron maigo ang messages sa 160 characters kay kung moabot na ug page 2, lain naman pud nga piso ang ma kaltas. I used to that pero pag abot dire sa abroad. Dapat complete gyud ang words and wala'y shortcut kay di kasabot ang mga puti. Karon, ako na pud ang di kasabot hapit sa shortcut text.

I still remember when kiams texted me with this word. WUD? meaning What U Doin?

ganahan mo sample..

"churched. ad2 mi run yala 2 c syksm8s" ... explain kuno beh?

If one is serious on improving his/her English language skills, then abandon texting...

that is if he is not that good in english yet.. then again cellphones have a dictionary feature.. that is what i use. dictionary is easier and faster ... dan ds knd of way 2 txt.

Kiams i hated that with passion! just hate that! hahahhahah

i never encouraged anyone to send me that way kay di nako tubagon...

i told them straight to their face nga ug gusto mo sa akong tubag, they should change the way they talk to me.

hahaha me too te.. that is why i prefer to use dictionary feature of our cellphone

whenever i remember my texting days, i would feel that i had wasted my life. it was too annoying to get distracting sms. in thailand, people call you; they don't text.

Mike, we can't afford a single call in the Phils mao nang mag text nalang.

i use text for emergency purpose only... sa ym mi mag chikka sa akong mga nieces & nephews.

Mas gasto baya ang text Zel kay sa call kay putol-putol ang pangutana. Dili magkasinabot kay ang sumpay wa matiwas. Wasted time on waiting for a single reply. Then balik na pud pangutana kay wala kasabot sa gitext. Then naa lain ni-text. Then ang lain ni-text mangutana if nadawat ba ang previous reply. Actually, you spend the whole day answering text messages that are actually not that life-and-death urgent.

mao jud Mike! hehe naka-experienced na ko ana.

Mike, unlimited text naman karon so okay ra. Text hangtod ma pudpod ang kamot. Di naku kabuhat ana karon. hahaha

Di na gani ko ganahan mo text, tawag nalang kay kapoy mo text.

Belle,

Grabe pud nang feeling anang gisuwat sa toilet paper, dali mapuknit...

Gagamit pa ba ron ug stationery nga naa'y perfume?

Pet peeves na nako nang magbasa ug text gikan sa atua.Kung mag text ko complete letters ug right spelling jud.For me insult na nako kung naay magsend message unya kulang kulang ug letters kay gi shorten.I dont like texting I prefer calling mas dali pa.Instead na ako mga pag umangkon sa pinas magtext text ako sila gipuhonanan(capital) ug load kay dagko man diay ginansya kung mamaligya load.Kanunay ka pangitaon sa mga text addict so dali ra ang ginansya heheheh.Keep texting kay para molambo pa ahong negosyo sa amua good investment gyud ang text lol

I stop texting overseas na karon kay tag 3 kr/text na ang bayad sa akong phone company. Magchange napud ko anig company nga mas barato

mas maau pa mo call kay klaro

uy! gen, welcome back. where have u been? naa ka YM? check imong pm

gennnnnnnnnnn!mustamos?

di napud maayu kay ang panguyab i agi nalang sa text.

It´s a trend!  If you don´t have a cellphone, you´re left out. This is really not good for the country. During my vacations, a manicurist keeps on looking at her 2 cellphones, I was really nervous she might missed some of my fingers. Our next thread must be how to stop this. Mahal mag pa up-load, pasa load, lots of gimmicks. The people are wasting their time, instead of being productive.

Pro te, it makes our lives easier man pud. Maybe users should be more responsible.
sunod ani mag pass na ug bill TEXT EDUCATION. hahahaha

Indayon, I know that  you can not live without you rcellphone, with texting and the joy of getting replies! Am I right? 

hahaha yes te. but I am also pissed by persons texting in moviehouses and in the church. kana pud mga amiga nga katabi nga mag cge ug text at the same time and di pajud ka text while talking with us. it's annoying.

Drivers fiddling with their mobile phone while on the wheels give me the creeps. And recently in our country, exchanges of text messages between strangers have led to EBs that resulted in scams and deadly crimes... Di lang makabugo ug makapobre, makamatay pa.

But how can we live without it? Perhaps I am right not to use texting as my main mode of communication. I still prefer and use mainly the voice call. But many Filipinos don't reply to voice calls.

wa pa ning CellFone, we're already in poverty state...deeper.

naa lang juy irresponsible users.
