A Filipino Satire by Pundit Nehru W ags and humorists in the City of Such is the humorous case of wags making fun of a guy that has been promoting himself as the “elected mayor of Philippine Town.” The supposed leader allegedly lived before in the City of Messrs. Von Weber (now deceased) and Reyes said that it was comical to call the PTI leader as “mayor” when the association did not even maintain an office or much more a “town hall.”
P undits, however, started to call the PTI mayor the “mayordomo,” which is a Filipino colloquial term for “head servant.” After all, the PTI officers are meant to serve the public, right? “Mayordomo B ut then Filipino-American wags that hail from province of Pampanga in the Philippines say that it is all right to call the clown as the “‘Onorable’ Mayordomo,” as he is also a “cabalen” (a fellow settler from Pampanga). Many of the people from Pampanga do not pronounce the “h,” especially when it is the first letter of a word. Why, reports say that his favorite car is the "Onda Haccord." As the “Onorable Mayordomo But the “Historic Filipinotown” is an ethnic district created by the Los Angeles City Council on Again wags came to the rescue of common sense and sensibility. They started calling the “Onorable Onorary Mayor Valencia” the “onorary mayor” of the “Prehistoric Filipinotown.” Yes, when A Similar Humiliating Title in the 1990s P robably the same wags and pandits, oops, pundits were responsible for coining a new title for a Filipino-American senior-citizen leader in the 1990s.

Naturally, the new “title” spread like wild fire and pretty soon, the CSCA officer ceased calling herself “assemblywoman.” Because people were laughing at her (usually behind her back) in the similar fashion that folks are now snickering at the “Onorable Mayordomo.” Another Funny Name in the Historic Filipinotown It seems that what happened to the “Assembledwoman” and to the “Onorable Mayordomo” has failed to dissuade a small group of Filipino-American leaders from making fools of themselves. This group organized themselves into a “Historic Filipinotown Neighborhood Council.” But then its application for accreditation as a “neighborhood council” was denied by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE) of the City of The DONE said—in denying the application—that the Historic Filipinotown District was part of the Greater Echo Park-Elysian Neighborhood Council, which was already in existence. But the few misguided Filipino-American leaders decided to incorporate their association as the “Historic Filipinotown Neighborhood Council, Incorporated.” But like the “Onorable Mayordomo,” the group also likes to drop off the word, “Inc.,” when they introduce it to the public. Now wags are calling it the “Historic Filipinotown Neighboring Clowncil.” Yes, “just send in the clowns” and people can dance to its beat, cheek-to-cheek style.
