ABNKKBSNPLAko?! The Movie was released in 2014 directed by Mark Meily. Two of his works have been adapted into film. The author has since written and published ten more books until 2018. Ramirez, who became a fan of Bobong Pinoy, approached him and started exchanging messages, which eventually led to the publication of ABNKKBSNPLAko?!, Bob Ong's first book, in 2001. The site received a People's Choice Philippine Web Award for Weird/Humor in 1998, but was taken down after former President Joseph "Erap" Estrada was ousted after the Second People Power Revolution.Īccording to Nida Ramirez of Visprint, which eventually became Bob Ong's publisher, the author wrote on Bobong Pinoy that he wanted to get a book published. " Although impressed", Bob Ong notes, " my boss would've fired me had he known I was the one behind it." When someone contacted him after mistaking him as an actual person named Bob Ong, his famous pseudonym was born. The name roughly translates to " Dumb Filipino", used fondly as a pejorative term. His pseudonym came about when the author was working as a web developer and a teacher, and he put up the Bobong Pinoy website in his spare time. Bob Ong started to pursue writing after dropping out of college.
