“Gawin mo yan sa Mindanao” is a comment we see on social media which confuses readers on what it really means. Knowing most people from Mindanao who migrated to Baguio are entrepreneurs, we could understand it as, like in this picture, “buy one, take one.” Although it is obvious that the comment has a double meaning.
Whatever it means, it is up to the reader to interpret. They might mean inviting content creators in Mindanao who’s contents they don’t like and aim to give the lessons of life or it could be a truly invitation for the person to do such thing in Mindanao.
We see this comments on contents with themes that are seem to be not acceptable to the culture of Mindanao such as sexy dancing or other contents that they consider as non-sense.
In return, fast-thinking netizens outside Mindanao will find similar content creators based in Mindanao such as that individual who died because of doing mukbang and put their comment, “nasaan yung comment na Gawin mo yan sa Mindanao?”
Any how, life is everything in social media. It is up to the readers and users to understand contents and comments.
