Rules of Engagement

Much as we want to claim omnipotence (er, not impotence, mind you), we are really just a couple of ordinary guys who love humor and hilarity in whatever form. So, we encourage everyone to be our eyes and ears in those nooks and crannies where the sun doth shine. Where there’s a human being, there’s room for human error. So, keep your pens within easy reach, and scribble those noteworthy bloopers on a scrap of tissue whenever you can.

Please use our online form to submit content for Himantayon.com. While we publish almost anything that evokes a few laughs (or, at the very least, a snigger), we do have a few guidelines for submission:

  • For the nth time, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FICTION. Please do not submit jokes and witticisms you’ve heard or read elsewhere. Submit only stories you’ve witnessed firsthand. That is the very essence of HIMANTAYON.
  • Overheard conversations are our favorite. We now strictly require that you include place, time, and date for “Nadunggan” entries. Same goes with “Nakit-an” entries.
  • If quoting from online sources, please include the URL of your source.
  • Don’t over-editorialize. You should never underestimate your audience.
  • No racist jokes or minority slights. We do not tolerate racism.
  • No extremely lewd or pornographic content.
  • Content must be in Cebuano, with minimal English or Tagalog elements.

*Himantayon.com reserves the right to edit submitted entries. All submissions are subject to editorial consideration.



Himantayon: A True Story

chronicles the limits of our humanity -- in pure, unadulterated Cebuano. We don't mean to eavesdrop, but some people are just too darned loud. Bato-bato sa langit, ang maigo, ayaw'g ka-panic!
