“Parokya NI Edgar” lead singer Chito Miranda recently received bashing over his ‘term of endearment’ to his child Miggy. Netizens were not pleased when Chito called his son “ungas” on his social media post.
On his Instagram post, he expressed how proud he was upon knowing that his son made his first walk.
“Miss na miss na miss ko na ‘tong ungas na ‘to. Naglakad na daw sya kanina ng tatlong hakbang. Wala ako kasi may tugtog kami,” he wrote.
However, netizens expressed their disappointment over the ‘unusual’ calling of a father to his child. The 41-year old singer replied to a comment on his IG post explaining that calling his son “ungas” is his “term of endearment.”
“Binura na pala ng mga nagagalit sa akin yung mga comments nila, kung bakit ko daw tinatawag na “ungas” ang anak ko, at sana daw wag mamana ni Miggy sa akin yung ganung ugali. Alam nyo po kasi, ‘term of endearment’ ang tawag dun,” Chito explained.
“My uncle calls his children ‘monkeys’. Ang tawag ng dad ko sa akin ‘tikmol.’ Kami ng bestfriend ko from Ateneo, tawag namin sa mga anak namin, ‘ungas.’ His son is an honor student in Ateneo pero sobrang kengkoy. As in matatawa ka nalang talaga at masasabing ungas talaga ‘tong anak ko. Same with Miggy.
Chito said those who were offended by the term he used are “corny”, “baduy”, and lacks sense of humor.
“Matatawa ka nalang talaga sa kalokohan nya. Kaya ko nasabi na nakaka-awa yung mga corny na nagalit, is because hindi siguro sila sanay sa mga terms ng endearment ng mga magkaka-tropa na malakas mag-alaskahan. Ang corny nun diba? Ang baduy ng buhay na kinalakihan nila.
“Habang ako napaligiran ako ng mga makukulit at tunay na kaibigan at lumaki ako sa environment na puno ng kasiyahan, kalokohan, at kakulitan.
“Puno ng pagmamahal ang buhay ko at ang post na ‘to. Wag kang corny. It’s so sad that you see negativity in a positive and loving post,” he ended.
Neri Naig’s husband also took Twitter to slam his bashers.
Nakaka-awa daw ang anak ko kasi tinatawag kong “ungas”. Mas nakaka-awa yata yung mga anak na may mga magulang na walang sense of humor,” he fearfully wrote.
