A video has been doing some rounds online. It went viral since it was posted last October this year 2018. The video poster and creator is a Filipino Bisaya, looks to be a Dabawenyo, who currently lives in South Korea, a part of his journey for whatever endeavor he may have. He is gay. Not a shameful thing for most Filipinos, unlike many others who discriminate gays.
He had already been gaining popularity in his Facebook page called 'Ate Charing Ang Reyna Ng South Korea.' His videos in his FB page is so engaging and received a lot of praises form his fans.
His new video, in it he is eating a torta talong and ginisang ampalaya with rice. What viewers like about it is his originality and authenticity and his being true to himself and to his fans. Especially in this video where he only use his bare hands in eating, a true Filipino style of eating. Even in Cebu, Cebuanos use their bare hands when eating, although most of the time Cebuanos use a cellophane glove with the puso and whatever fried foods as viand, including inasal na baboy or lechon.
Here he is being true to himself. Some bashed him for not being hygienic but many admired him for showing to the world what the true culture Filipinos have.
And so long as you cut your finger nails short, and always wash your hands, especially before eating a meal, there is no problem using your bare hands when eating. Well, we do it. It's our culture, isn't it?
