RESPECT THE LOCALS II: Isang Bagsakan Na!
Alam niyo, lalo na sa yo teej, ipaliwanag ko yung Respect The Locals ha. At tingnan ko kung sasabihin mo pa, “Ano ba yan padagata? … mahiya ka.”
Ang Respect the Locals ay time-honored rule yan ng skim community. Matagal na yan. Yung pagkakaintindi mo na yung galit-galitan na locals? Hindi. Pero aaminin ko din na yung sinabi ni Augie attitude yun. Pero depensa yun sa sinabi ni Epoy. Hindi ko yun ipagkaila.
Ngayon, naalala mo yung tinanong mo ako kung anong opinyon ko sa mga nangyari noon? Anong sinabi ko sa ‘yo? Di ba sabi ko sa ‘yo respetuhin mo ang katahimikan ko. Pero ayaw mo talagang makinig no?
Nanahimik ako dahil ayokong makialam, dahil kahit baguhan ka or kayo sa eksena nirerespeto ko kayo sa kabila ng lahat. Kasi dayo rin ako at nagpasalamat na rin ako na nagkaroon ng club ang mga dayo. At a point, dinipensahan ko kayo at pinagtanggol ky Johann. At pakiusap lang, huwag mo akong tanungin kung ano yun o ipamumukha sa akin kasi alam nating dalawa at ninyo at nila.
Dapat mong malaman na iba ang local attitude at Respect the Locals. Pero kalimitan nagkakaattitude lang ang locals if meron silang hindi nagustuhan. Bakit alam ko yan? Experience, process at well, sinasabi rin nila sa akin. Sinita ko ba kayo? Pinagsabihan ko ba kayo na nakaka-offend na kayo? Hindi. Dahil ayokong makialam kasi gusto ko na malaman ‘nyo kung anong tunay na ibig sabihin ng katagang yun at your own terms. Process nga yan. Experience rin nga yan.
Maniwala ka sa akin hindi yun yung iniisip mo. Kala ko rin yan noon. Kasi nga dayo ako tulad mo. Makiramdam ka teej. Sayang, ang laki pa naman ng respeto ko sa ‘yo. Isa ka sa mga taong gusto ko na makasama maglaro pero binago mo ang pananaw ko sa ‘yo.
Respect the Locals ay isang paraan na makiramdam ka. Hindi ko mapaliwanag at hindi ko rin talaga sa ‘yo or sa inyo ipaliwanag.Ilang taon din teej. Dapat ninyong ma-experience. Pagmaintindihan mo na, masasabi mo talaga na skimboarder ka na talaga. At huwag mong isipin yung mga nagalit-galitan na locals. Ano ba yan teej?
Iba ang takbo ng utak ng mga locals. Kaya makiramdam ka, makiramdam kayo. Maniwala ka talaga sa akin malalaman mo rin yan balang araw kung anong tunay na ibig sabihin. Kung hindi mo maintindihan, hindi mo ma-experience ang tunay na skimboarding lifestyle.
Oo may lokalismo sa Philippine skimboarding scene. Hindi mo ba yan nakikita? Siguro kasi baguhan ka pa lang or kayo. Simulan natin sa sinong naglalaro talaga. Sinong mga magagaling. Alam mo naman siguro, ang mga locals di ba? Yung mga nakilala mo na locals iilan lang yun. Sila ang pinakamaswerte sa lahat ng mga locals.
Iba ang lokalismo na nasa isip mo. Kaya nga ang pinaglalaban ko ay LOCAL EMPOWERMENT. Baka hindi mo rin yan maintindihan. At huwag mo yang intindihin na gusto ko magkaroon ng lokalismo sa Pinas. Ano ba naman yan teej? Di mo pa nga nakikilala ang lahat ng locals. Di ko pa nga nakilala lahat sila eh. At alam mo babalik at babalik din yan sa Respect the Locals.
Di mong masasabi na tanggalin ang localismo. Di ba advocacy mo yun? Hindi yan matatanggal kasi nga locals ang majority ng skimboarding community. Kung ang pinagbasihan mo lang yung galit-galitan na locals… ano ba naman yan teej? Hindi nga siya tungkol sa attitude. Iba yung napapanood mo sa TV. Iba yung sa surfing… kaya nga eh… isa yun sa pinagkaiba sa skimboarding at surfing community. Huwag mong itulad ang localismo dito sa localism sa ibang bansa rin. O, ang localism sa surfing at localism ng skimboarding. Ano ba yan talaga teej?
Respect the Locals is a Rite of Passage sa lahat ng gustong maging skimboarder. Maniwala ka talaga.
Tandaan mo wala ka pa andyan na yang Respect the Locals na yan. Sana nagdalawang isip ka na sabihan ako na mahiya ako. Kasi hindi ako nahihiya sa sinabi ko. Alam mo kung saan ako nahihiya, sa mga locals. At mahihiya at mahihiya ako sa kanila habang buhay. Pinaliwanag ko lang kung ano ang namasdan ko. Bakit bawal ba yan? Baka gusto mo pang ipaliwanag ko na karapatan ko yun. Gaya lang sa pagrespeto ko sa comment mo. Pwede ko yang i-delete pero opininyon mo yan.
Sana nagkaintidihan tayo. Kung ipipilit mo pa rin sa akin ang iniisip mo. Wala na akong magagawa.
At para rin malaman mo at kahit sabihin mo na “Bakit inutusan ba kita?” Ini-endorse ko yung board mo if may nagtatanong sa akin about local or murang foamie. Kasi naniniwala ako sa boards mo kahit hindi ko pa na try. Sinabi ko yan sa yo di ba? Tsk. Tsk. I am really disappointed sa pinagsasabi mo.
At nga pala… It’s worth posting!

RESPECT THE LOCALS
tanggalin daw ang lokalismo sabi ni *****?!!!…tsk tsk…hindi mo alam ang sinasabi mo boy…e kung mga dayo kaya ang tanggalin ko?…pag isipan mo yang binitawan mong salita sa loob ng 24 oras…pag hindi mo binawi yan makikita nyo!!!
Euhmm… I just got chills reading this. I have never encountered an angry local before. I don’t like the sound of this. But really, is Respect the Locals hard to understand? Do you know what it’s like to be barred from a beach? That is really not nice to say.
Let me make this clear. The only time the locals are throwing their local attitude is when they feel disrespected. And yeah, when they don’t like you too. Check in your ego before you set foot on the shoreline.
They have a way of telling “You’re not welcome here.” And that angry statement is beyond the usual unwelcoming gesture. Remember that the locals always have the advantage of the shore. Respect is so elementary.

The Skim Love Project (beta)
This is not suppose to be really official yet. But with the commitment of a lot of people, I think it’s about time to give them due acknowledgement.
The Skim Love Project aims to give 100 skimboards to the locals in at least 6 month time, a year the most.
More details…. stay tuned.
I know, palagi lang stay tuned. Para may thrill.

There is no official title of the event yet, but it is definitely a skim series that will rank skimboarders according to their skills in conquering the southern break. It is official and it will kick off this January in Boneyard, Iligan.
It is open to all skimboarders who are willing to be swallowed by Mindanao waves. Hehehehehehe!
Stay tuned for all the details.

Lokal Skim <3
These pictures are supposed to be posted last September 14 which is the anniversary date. There is no celebration so do speak because there are still so much to do and to accomplish. Until those goals are achieved, making a big deal about another year is not quiet worth happening. However, to those who share the skim love, thank you very much:
Please don’t sulk if you guys are not in the pictures. When we say locals, we mean all the locals.
