ABOUT THE HECKLER

“I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care about. And that’s really it. You know, if I really wanted to enact social change… I have great respect for people who are in the front lines and the trenches of trying to enact social change. I am far lazier than that.” 

~Jon Stewart

The Professional Heckler is Loi Reyes Landicho, a Batangas-born humor blogger from Makati City.

The Professional Heckler has been recognized four times in a row by the Philippine Blog Awards:

2008: Best Blog in the Entertainment Category

2009: Best Blog in the Humor Category

2010: Best Blog in the Humor Category

2010: Top 3 Posts of the Year for “Exclusive: GMA Breaks Her Silence”

2011: Best Blog in the Humor Category

In August 2011, he won in the first ever Globe Tatt Awards bagging the Word Slayer plum. In June 2013, the Globe Tatt Awards named him Blogger Phenom of the Year (the name of the award makes him cringe though.)

A number of his blog posts were included in the political humor book “Hello Garci, Hello Maa’m: Political Humor in the Cellphone Age” published by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) in 2005.

“The Professional Heckler” was also included in the Philippine Daily Inquirer’s list of 25 Blogs You Should Read.

    3. hello po! I am Bryan from Iloilo City…I just found out that our local newspaper…Panay News was also plagiarizing your political jokes! The Publisher Mr. Danny Fajardo in his news lapsus calami copied your hunor but never revealed the source. Remember the jamby-tomBoy joke and jamby will debate anyone except juday! That is what he plagiarized.

      1. hey bryan. thanks so much. yup, the jamby-juday joke came from this blog. i would like to give him the benefit of the doubt. a number of my blog posts are being circulated via email kasi and sa pagpu-forward, nawawala na ang name ng original source. i know it’s disappointing pero unti-unti na akong nasasanay. just the other day, a cousin of mine forwarded the AYON SA MGA BITUIN horoscope article. he didn’t know about my blog pala. so i told him na it was originally published in my blog. natawa na lang siya. A big sigh. Ang wish ko na nga lang, kapag newspapers na ang nagpi-print, sana may effort man lang na alamin ang source.

  6. This blog always gives me a respite from racking my brains on what to write next for our site…a source of inspiration, too! Heckler, would you be interested in doing some more politically flavored heckling on this new Pinoy site (supposed to be a hybrid of ohmynews, cracked and rotten tomatoes.com, parang pinoy jeep) we’re putting up? We’re still ironing out the kinks before we try to launch it live, and I’m supposed to be looking around for potential hecklers, er, contributors. Drop me a message at tinette@wikipilipinas.org.ph if you’re open to the suggestion.

  32. Love your blog, I think your writing style is brilliant and you are never patronising to your readers. I love it and will follow it regularly.

    However, a quick one on football: I am a huge Liverpool FC supporter so that makes us mortal enemies instantly but my bigger question is how can one be a Man U and a Real Madrid fan at the same time? Tsk tsk to your loyalty — who will you support if they compete for the European Cup? I think you just like David Beckham.. are you supporting LA Galaxy as well then?? 🙂

    Thanks for sharing your writing to the cyber community and thanks for your intelligent and humourous articles. It’s like a breath of fresh air from broadsheets that, more often then not, contain embedded advertising and promotion of a product or political figure. Keep it up!

I’ve never been good at delivering punchlines but my friends say I’m funny, ironically (must be those self-deprecating jokes they find humorous). Anyway, here’s one of the funniest jokes I’ve heard lately:

    A man opened the ref. Suddenly, something on top of the lettuce screamed, “Don’t look! I’m dressing!”

  55. bonjour..am a fil-am residing in france. haven’t lived in manila for a loooong time but i keep up with news & happening online. last night, a french show , tellement vrai (really true) , on nrj12 cable channel featured divine lee and tim yap (the show always features Dlist celebs). don’t know or have any experience with these people but have heard of tim yap via gucci gang controversery etc. what can i say…i hope my french friends weren’t watching.

    the guy’s a joke..the premise of the show was tim yap as a young mover & shaker. featured him doing a variety of tv gigs like a dinner(live) show, interviews with celebs, his embassy club, opening of his resto cafeteria, at philstar producing his supremo section. he brags about owning a hotel in boracay, he was bragging about his family owning this fab house on a hill also in boracay..weird though that his car didn’t enter the compound upon arrival and the security didn’t seem to know him??!! he showed them around his OTT apartment where he showed off his signature clothes.

    divine lee’s feature was more balanced. a young-working heiress. but a model? what the F? i won’t be rude..at least she wasn’t self promoting like tim yap. i have NO idea why these people were featured.

    but the funny part…at the end of the show, the french journalist in manila brought out giveaways they got from tim yap that they laughed about… a TY doll, a shirt that said tim yap forever,and…a TY cologne that the host laughed about…he said it smelled like a bad air freshener and the journalist said that TY would spray it everywhere they went…hahaha.

    didn’t know who to share this with. if they post the video of the show online, if you want it, i’ll send it to you.

    Dear Sir/Madam:

    Greetings!

    We are from the University of the Philippines Speech Communication Association (UP SPECA). We are an association upholding the power and the needs of speech communication majors and enthusiasts.

    The University of the Philippines is holding its annual Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) on February 6, 2009 from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. The ACLE allows the students to learn and expand their knowledge beyond the classroom setting by attending talks and seminars prepared by various student organizations. UP SPECA is going to host a talk entitled: “Blogging: Communication and Hyperrealism.” This talk aims to increase the awareness of the students regarding the nature of blogging, its benefits and possible repercussions on both the blogger and the reader(s). It also aims to tackle the use of blogs in commerce, journalism, and in the academe, among others.

    In this light, we would like to invite you to become one of our guest speakers to share your life and experiences as a blogger, or as a person who uses blogs in different transactions, for that matter.

    We feel that your story will contribute a lot to our knowledge and inspire us in our future endeavors.

  104. HIYA Mr Professional Heckler here’s 5 semi-witty jokes that will kick you off your seat of your horse:

    #1 A heckler in a forum was asking the late bishop Sheen of USA this question?

    “Did God save Jonah from the whale?”

    the bishop replied:”When I Get to Heaven,I will ask!”

    “What if He is not there?”

    “THEN YOU ASK HIM!!!” was his retort.

    #2 A elderly priest invited an agnostic to come to his parish church

    “There are sinful hypocrites there,I am tired of them!” was the agnostic’s answer

    “there is always room for one more!” was all the elderly priest said.

    #3 A restaurant owner,who is also an agnostic approached a catholic lay minister with these words:

    “Brother I know some dishonest people in my business,who go to your church on Sunday!!”

    “Why my child not all Christians are like that,although they are not perfect ” said the lay minister

    “But brother,aren’t Catholics supposed to be special?”

    Yes they are,Yes they are” was the lay minister’s sad reply

    #4 A Dying man was telling the priest who was exorcising him: “Father I will not repent until I know where I am going!” was his reply to the priest words:”REPENT OF YOUR SINS NOW!”

    #5 A nun seeing a drunk man praying the stations of the cross in the monastery church told him:

    “MISTER YOU’RE DOING IT BACKWARDS!!!”

    “Ha! no wonder Jesus Christ gets stronger after every station!”(end of jokes)

    Nice blog learned about it from billy esposo from philstar!

    AFTER a Life in the Spirit Seminar (LSS), a man comes home spiritually renewed. On the road he sees his former drinking buddies and is tempted to join them. But he prays hard, “Lord, cover my eyes.” And he passes right by them.

    * * *

    A few meters after, he sees his former gambling buddies playing tong-its. Summoning strength he prays once again, “Lord, cover my eyes.” And he passes right by them.

    Then at the end of the road, he sees a beautiful, shapely woman. Unable to resist the temptation to look, he blurted out: “Lord, cover Your eyes.”

    Stewardess approaches her and says :”Ma’am artista, sorry, but your ticket is economy. You have to sit in the back.”
    Artista says, ” Hoy, di mo ba ako kilala? Artista ako! Punta akong Davao and I will sit where I like. Che!”
    Stewardess goes up to the cockpit and tells the Pilot: “Captain, sorry, but there is an artista who insists on sitting in First Class pero, economy ang ticket nya.”
    Pilot says: “Artista? Ah, okay. I know how to speak Artista. I will talk to her.”
    Pilot goes back and says something to the Artista. Artista suddenly gets up and says, “Ay, sorry, sorry ha. Lipat na ako sa likod.” And she rushes to Economy.
    Stewardess asks: “Wow, galing. What did you tell her?”
    Pilot: “I told her we are leaving na but FIRST CLASS DOES NOT FLY TO DAVAO, ONLY ECONOMY.”

  340. GILBERTO TEODORO

    The first step to getting inside the mind of a man is to observe his personality/behavior/attitude. The second step is to get to know the environment he grew up in.

    I couldn’t figure out the 1st since I personally don’t know the guy. Never saw him in person either. However, based on the 2nd step, if you researched as i did, we would both know that this guy is in the middle of a family feud within the clan.

    He is a nephew of Eduardo Cojuangco Jr., chair of San Miguel Corporation, and 2nd cousin of Benigno Aquino III, one of the presidential aspirants in this poll.

    Eduardo’s and Benigno’s families have always been at odds with one another for many reasons i wouldn’t start to care. However, from what is gathered, Eduardo Cojuangco is branded as a Marcos crony and therefore “corrupt”. Not surprising since there were theories that the source of the Cojuangco wealth is not so honorable. This makes the entire clan supposedly untrustworthy.

    You might say, give this guy a chance. Okay, so give him this chance. It’s only the Institution of the Presidency we’re talking about here, nothing so important, right? If we make a mistake, Filipinos can always wait for six (6) f**king years to make another mistake.

    Oh, by the way, He’s the son of former Social Security System administrator Gilberto Teodoro, Sr. and former Batasang Pambansa member Mercedes Cojuangco-Teodoro. The Social Security System and Batasang Pambansa were both tarnished with corruption.

    ———————–

    RICHARD GORDON

    Richard Gordon, like his running mate, Bayani Fernando, is a very practical person. The typical Filipino with his emotional carefree attitude would find his character to be somewhat “big bully” and “tyrannical” due to his no-nonsense approach to solving a problem.

    To this candidate, solving a problem is more important than how the population feels about the method. To an emotional carefree population, you will probably agree that this personality is political suicide. However, based on his record, this guy seems to be solving the problems in spite of what people say.

    From what is gathered, Gordon began his political career as mayor of Olongapo City, the purported “Sin City” of the Philippines. Critics say he did little to solve the “prostitution problem” but did agree that he was able to improve the city’s economic level.

    Personally speaking, I understand why conservative people would react to prostitution as being acceptable. Well, that’s only them speaking. If you surveyed the entire Philippine population, you would probably be surprised how liberated the majority of Filipinos are.

    (Filipinos, by nature, are sensuous, emotional, and overly courteous, which explains why they give way to the hypocrisy of the fundamentalist, puritanical, and conservative upbringing their country gives. This also explains why Filipinos are sexy inside but are afraid to show it.)

    Going back to the P word, here’s an example: The metropolitan areas of the Clark and Washoe Counties in Nevada, USA would have stunted their growth if it were not for the adult entertainment industries provided by Las Vegas (Clark Co.) and Reno (Washoe Co.).

    Here’s something to note: Prostitution in Nevada is legal but regulated within the designated “red light district’ night clubs. Prostitution in London, England is also legal but only if done outside of designated “red light district’ night clubs. This means that you and Mr/Ms adult entertainer should do it inside the clubs in Nevada but should do it in your home or motel in London.

    Where am I going with this? Well, we always view prostitution as something bad and, as such, we don’t see people working in this trade as “professionals”. Moreover, these “professionals” are too afraid and ashamed to ply their trade but do so anyway because of need. On the other hand, we see rotten politicians in broad daylight – unafraid and unashamed – and they still get to be considered as “professionals”. Who would you prefer to work besides with? An adult entertainer who would work honestly and pay due taxes promptly if demanded of them? Or rotten politicians who are not honest, who steal taxpayers’ money, and expect that you vote for them next season?

    Going back to Richard Gordon, it is refreshing to remember that the former president Ejercito Estrada is one of the senators who led the vote against the retention of the US Bases in the Philippines, which led to 40,000 Filipinos losing their jobs outright, increased the boldness of local rebel groups and terrorists, and destabilized the safety of the country from encroachment by other countries. Well, the Americans left anyway, and the Philippines was also left with the mess made by these senators as well as the after effects of Mt. Pinatubo.

    It’s interesting to note that this “bully”, in the form of Richard Gordon, spearheaded the solution to the problems following the American exodus. The solutions may have not been all his own concepts, but he was the guy who facilitated them all together.

    So there’s your choice… Do you want a good-looking president with a questionable family and track record who promises his heart out to you? Or do you want a “bully” who could help facilitate the solutions to your problems?

    ———————–

    EDDIE VILLANUEVA

    From what I last gathered, the Republic of the Philippines is still a democracy in which Church and State are separate. Eddie Villanueva may be an honest, uncorrupted, and “Christian” candidate, but his status as leader of a religious congregation is, to my personal opinion, not compatible with the Separation of Church and State clause.

    The reason for separating Church and State is very evident in history. If you’re a student of history, you would remember that the times the Church and State worked as a single mind, worldwide catastrophes happened like terrorism today and the Crusades centuries before.

    Simply put, Church and State cannot be a single mind, for all our sakes.

    ———————–

    MANUEL VILLAR

    If I’m not mistaken, there was a recent scandal on the Philippines’ C-5 Road Extension Project. Isn’t this guy in the middle of it all? If this person wins the election, the Philippines is truly a nation of monkeys and fools.
    ———————–

    BENIGNO SIMEON AQUINO III

    On the other hand Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is the son of the “Great Filipino Hero and Martyr”, Ninoy Aquino and the “untarnished” and first female president of the Philippines, Corazon Aquino as well as brother to Philippine celebrity, Kris Aquino. Aside from being the son or brother of well-known people, I haven’t’ read anything else this guy was famous for.

    Are you going to gamble your vote on this nobody/loser?

    JOHN CARLOS DELOS REYES

    He’s a nephew of Richard Gordon. Practically speaking, i don’t understand why he’s running against his uncle in the presidentiable elections. His uncle is highly experienced in serving the country. From what i gathered, he only has his city councilor experience and guts to back him up in his campaign. In this online poll he’s able to gather 1% at least. Imagine if he just supported his uncle as city councilor or mayor or Zambales district representative/congessman, this 1% could aid his uncle for president and aid him in his young career as well. He’s better off winning as mayor instead of president. Frankly speaking, either he has a personal grudge against his uncle (gone too far) or he’s a young idealist fool (not all idealists are fools, but this one is). Potentially, he may prove to be a good leader, but he’s making the wrong steps.

    1. hmmm sa nababasa ko si gibo ang may cleanest record.. issues pointed to him are just allegations o kaya nadawit lang sa pangalan ni madam mole.. and gibo’s parents worked in those institutions sooo long time ago, why connect the present corruption issues to them,, his father has a clean record in sss. danding’s family supporting noynoy shows they can’t just manipulate gibo.

      i support anyone but noynoy! haha

  351. Hi Heckler,

    It seems di mo pa na discuss sa blogs mo about Gibo and Villar loosing its ground dahil dami kumakalat na negative tsismis about them.

    Do you know why? Tito Boy is now with Noynoy.

    Tito Boy + Kris Aquino = Ultimate tsismis generating machine.

    By the way I really enjoy reading your blog, u r really smart.

  380. hi heckler! Alam mo, first time ko pa lang ma-visit blog mo, na-hook na talaga ako. Minsan natatawa ako kasi sa blog mo ako umaasa ng latest news, hehe. Minsan, di ko alam ang issue then pag nabanggit mo sa blog mo, saka ko pa lang nalalaman. Keep on inspiring us to laugh sa kabila ng lahat ng nararanasan ng mga tao ngayon.

  392. Hi Heckler,

    I found your blogsite accidentally as I was googling Lacierda vs. Juana Change, and frankly I was laughing while reading your commentaries hahaha. Galing mo p’re! Hay naku, things just don’t change ‘no? Parte na talaga ng Filipino psyche ang bangayan, okrayan, sila-sila: kami-kami achuchuchu…..

    Anyway, at least you made us laugh at all these nakaka-asar and nakaka-pantig tenga realities in government & our society….. God help us!

    Keep us laughing, bro!

  393. Hi PH!

    I’ve been reading your blogs for almost a year now. 🙂

    I am currently based in Thailand and I normally open inquirer.net during lunch time at work to catch up on what’s happening in our country. But when I discovered your blogsite, man, I got hooked! 🙂 Now I open your site first, then inquirer.net and finally Chico’s Strange Fruit. Ikaw pala si Loi Pogi. Hehehe…

    You never fail to make me laugh with your every post. At the same time, you also make me think. There! Intellectually stimulating you are, Mr. PH!

    I hope you never run out of inspiration! Hehehe…

  407. Hello…three things: I like coffee and try to drink tea as often as I can because they say it’s healthier; I believe in the after life and tries to go to mass every Sunday; I am a Boston Celtics die hard fan and thinks Kobe is over rated.

    BUT I like your blog and will make sure I regularly visit it so that it can add to my dose of big laughter.

    Oh…fourth — I don’t think I will die of cancer (I hope so that is…) but like the rest of my family who enjoyed old age, will succumbed to hyper tension eventually.

    Thanks for the laugh and I posted it too.
