How long are you gonna let him fool you? Just kidding. According to my research, the history of April fools is still a mystery. However, according to the historian, April fools started during on the year 1582. It was when the France shifted from Julian calendar to Gregorian calendar. In the Julian calendar, the new year began around April 1. With that being said, people who failed to catch up the news right away, that the new year celebration has been moved to January 1, became the center of a lot of jokes and were called as "April fools". **Source:** **https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/april-fools-day** April fools is surely known for its pranks, jokes and hoaxes.

True yan sis. Dapat maging mindful din tayo sa pagpaprank. Dapat yung walang masaktan na damdamin.
kaya nga sis eh.
I remember when wil smith give a huge slap to a comedian. Both parties have mistakes. The comedian also need to watch his own jokes cause it might hurt and embarrass to someone. Yes I agree with we should watch our mouth and never fool anyone just to be notorious.
About that, well I can't blame Wil in doing such actions. but it isn't good still.
Ang dami kong nakikitang pregnancy pranks sa fb ngayon.. Tama ka, dapat maging sensitive tayo sa sitwasyon at pinagdadaanan ng tao before we make fun of them..
yes ateee. we have to be sensitive talag
I've seeing a lot of pranks for today, But I knew some of it and did not buy the story 🤣

last 3 years ago nag fake pregnancy din ako and aun medyo sumimangto sakin ung sister ng partner ko. Simula nun di na ko nag joke ng ganun.
hihih ibang prank nlang sis hahha
Noted sis! Glad that pranks are not that serious in our vicinity.
That's good to know sis.
I agree. Pregnancy, rape victims and mental illnesses shouldn't be laughed or joke about. These are serious situation that must be kept respected and out of jokes.
yeaah. very serious.
In addition, making prank orders for food riders is also one of the things we shouldn't consider doing. I still remember the issue regarding this and it's not a funny thing to do.
ohh this one also. you are right. We should never do this prank
Yung panay My days nung mga babae babae sa Fb ng pregnancy test ngayon HAHAHA nakakaasar hanggang kelan ba matatapos mga paganun ganun nila baka magkatotoo pati na mga batang babae sa socmed now may paganun ganun na e

I agree Langga. Yung pregnancy talaga. Dami kong nakita ngayon sa Facebook. May mina my day pa na result sa pregnancy test. Ang dami talaga. Basta April na talaga, kumakalat yung mga ganyan. Yung rape victims talagang hindi dapat kasi sobra na yun.
hindi sy amagandang biro ate ganda nu.
"joke is intended to be funny not insulting" I agree to this one sis. Bakit ba Kasi my pauso pa Ng April fools' day hays..
Kaya nga sis eh. I mean, okay lang naman mag joke, wag lang yung over.
We should be considerate of other people. Not all jokes can make a person laugh but rather can insult someone. Offending someone in the form of a joke is quite painful to a person. I know how it feels because I experienced it countless times. It's all fun and exciting until the joke's on you pointing to your insecurities. That's a major foul and I believe friends should never do that. No matter how comfortable you are together, there should still be respect.
INdeed. We have to maintain the respect no matter how close you are .
The thing is that some of us do not know where to draw the line anymore. The concept of freedom of speech has been understood beyond its meaning.
indeed. We have to remind ourselves again about this things.
Among all, joke about poverty.... Nope, this shouldn’t be done. Well written.
not a good topic to joke about
I agree , we should not easily believe everything
yes sis. mahirap ng maloko
Yes tama ka friend, Hindi talaga yan pwede i joke, Kasi napaka serious topic na ang ganyang issues, by the way nice to meet you, new here.
hello sis. Nice to meet you too
I totally agree with you and we can't joke about rape.. its a very sensitive matter
yes. very sensitive
Tama lahat ng sinabi mo sis. May mga jokes talaga na hindi maganda. May mga comedian na ginagawa to tapos live on TV pa. Sana they will think twice before they say a joke.
diba sis? We have to be very careful with our jokes.
