MY INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day greeting this year was most popular in social media.
Again, it’s all about the “immortal words” of ThePSN.
Stringing together the words in a unique, original, fresh, and refreshing order.
***
“To all the sluts, virgins, witches, world movers & shakers, HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY, bitches!
I salute u!” — #ThePSN

But Women’s Day, like dramatic full moons, is just a passing phenomenon.
Especially in the year of a crucial Philippine election.
I’m thinking, I could write about other stuff between now and May 9.
But then, What will people remember of me when all of this is over?
Above all, I want to be remembered for choosing the right/righteous/correct side of history.
And so, I continue to stir the pot.

“Hindi pa nabibili ang lahat.
(Hindi raw lahat tumanggap ng 5K.
May kailangang idouble-cross na mga trapo sa darating na Mayo.)
Meron pang nag-iisip.
Hindi lahat bobo sa bayan ko.
Bantayan ang paghihiganti ng mga Dumangueñong ginagago!”

Of course, LBM people react negatively to my social media posts.
But I got my public.
I got my people who defend me.
And they say things like, “How dare they question #ThePSN? “
I thank them for defending me.
And they tell me, “It’s nothing compared to what you do for Literature and everything else in this country.”
***
And they mention about my Peter’s Prize.
And, of course, I Google “Peter’s Prize” because that’s how they found out about me, they said.
And I ask how they knew of the Peter’s Prize?
And they said, they just Googled “prestigious literary contests.”
And I Googled it as they did.
***
In Google searching “prestigious literary contests Philippines”
“Ako ba ay niloloko lang ng Google?
Ito ba ang ‘alternative reality/truth’ na dulot ng AI algorithms?
(Scary! Although somehow accepted ko na rin.)
Please Google it urself, and see if ur results are the same as mine.” — #ThePSN
***
Google does not stop there.
And the importance of this event/phenomenon is the establishment of my reputation as a voice of authority, power, and influence.
This separates me from wannabes, and trolls, and paid hacks.
And so, this adds to my confidence, arrogance, pride, self-esteem, or however else you want to call it.
Catch up with me if you can!
***
“While Peter is a common name, I’m tickled PINK that Google knows me by my first name.
Well, u have to qualify ur search with “Philippine or Filipino author, writer, or poet” like ‘Philippine author Peter’.
A small price to pay. Haha. —#ThePSN #petersolisnery

Part of my full disclosure policy is my HIV status.
I do this as I remain to be the poster boy of HIV testing in Western Visayas.
I started my campaign in July of 2015, so every time I test for HIV, I post my results online.
I figured that to remove the stigma about screening, I need to be the face of HIV testing.
So far, I’m testing negative.
I’m not praying to be HIV positive myself, but I want to assure people that there is life beyond seroconversion.
***
“IN THE PINK of SEXUAL HEALTH & WELLNESS.
To all my sex partners in the last three months, thank u for not giving me any unwanted gift.
I will continue to monitor. —#ThePSN
***
By now, people are comfortable that I am sex-positive.
That I am not shy to publicly admit my sexual appetites and proclivities.
If they are embarrassed for me, they haven’t told me. Haha.
Frankly, I don’t care.
Because people haven’t walked the paths I’ve taken.
They haven’t paid porn stars to do them.
They haven’t done the Bel Ami porn video route.
And they’ll die wondering how awesome that is. Haha.
***
Because people see that I’m prayerful, spiritual, sexual, erotic, street-smart, intelligent, wise, wealthy, healthy, and nice, I can go on and survive the so-called cancel culture.
If they can’t be like me, who cares if they cancel me? Haha.
They’re non-essential entities to my great life as #ThePSN. (To be continued)/PN
