Since this is an “All About BLog” (and a Wrong Spelling, Wrong Grammar one), I would like to talk about the word “Abante” for tonight. There has been a wild fire buzz on the internet for that word nowadays.. either bloggers are talking about tagalog words or a congressman is trying to make a point… whichever is, you have your own decision and will.

What is “Abante”?

Literally, Abante is a tagalog term meaning “to move forward” or “move ahead” or yeah, ‘forward’ is way much better word. If you’re going to ask any Filipino, their definition would be… “ah, ung dyaryo… Xerex” (oh, the tabloid newspaper.. Xerex”) … (please don’t ask who/what Xerex is… go find Redtube instead, it’s better)

Who is “Abante” ?

There is a an honorable congressman by the name of Abante who’s making news on the country (Philippines) today.

The issue? Pornography.

Apparently, he is against it and is trying to sue(?) or pass a bill(?) to stop the media company (Men’s magazines such as FHM, Manual, Maxim, Playboy, Husler etc, tabloid and other small time ‘pornographic’ reading stuff) from distributing selling fo women flesh.. if that’s the correct term.

Famous actress such as Ehra Madrigal, Viva hot babes and of course the ever sexy and controversial Diana Subiri were asked for comments.. and they said, it’s an art.

So there you have it, the word “Abante”.. Hope I covered the two most famous definition as of today July 13, 2008.

Cheers!
