Inday and her right against self-incrimination
Anyways, going back to Inday, the super-maid was so surprised to hear that by just saying "I invoke my right against self incrimination", even the honorable Senators can do nothing. So she tried to practice what she learned. One day, her boss asked her to go to the market. While walking, the police, together with a bystander, called her.
Police: Miss, miss!
Inday: Excuse me officer, are you talking to me?
Police: Yes, Ma'am. Are you Erlinda "Inday" Magaspac?
Inday: Excuse me, officer, but I invoke my right against self incrimination.
Nagkatinginan ang police at ang tambay.
Tambay: Meron ba kayong wallet?
Inday: I'm sorry but I invoke my right against self-incrimination.
Nagkatinginan ulit ang police at ang tambay.
Police: Puwede ho ba sagutin niyo naman kami?
Inday: I'm sorry, officer, but I invoke my right against self incrimination.
Police: Ang tinatanong namin wala naman ho sa kaso ninyo. Kayo ho ba si Erlinda "Inday" Magaspac?
Inday: I still invoke my right against self incrimination.
Police sa Tambay: Hindi mo ata makausap ng matino ang taong ito. Sige sa iyo na lang ang wallet. Magkano ba ang laman niyan?
Tambay: Talaga bossing? P15,000 ho laman may kasamang papel ng mga bibilhin sa palengke.
Inday: Waaaaalllleeeeet ko yaaaannnnn!!!!!

Inday Jokes
But while many are laughing, not all are happy. For one, it simply points out the rotting system of the society because the intelligent Inday is nothing but a chambermaid. It means, there is no place or job for intelligent and/or degree holder Filipinos except as domestic helpers. The Inday joke on her interview with Ricky Leeis very telling:
She is now becoming one of the fastest rising Internet stars today amassing a number of followers all over the world mostly Filipinos . Already surpassing Ederlyn, Yuga, the Numa Numa boy, the Chinese Backstreet Boys and even Casey and her cam.
Inday is getting a lot of popularity today mostly from word of mouth, SMS and e-mails. Her witty comments regarding her life as a domestic helper has already brought laughter and uncontrollable nosebleeds to us.
RL: Inday, thank you for accepting this interview, how are you feeling right now?
Inday: You might expect me to be flabbergasted or nervous with all the attention I’m getting right now. Actually, I’m not. I know from that very first text message that this is going to be inevitable. Even now the media is already interested in my fame that they sent you to interview me thinking that you can comprehend each and every word that I say.
RL: [nagpunas ng ilong] Uhmm, ahh I see… so with all your uhh academic credentials, what made you decide just to be a domestic helper?
Inday: Well, what do you expect me to be? A lawyer? A politician? A newscaster? Oh come on, you’re all so predictable. Have you met a domestic helper that has a medical degree, is a world-class culinary artist, has a degree in Business Management, a certified public accountant and consistent Best in English for four years in high school?
RL: Uhhm, ahh I guess not.
Inday: Well there you go. That’s what sets me apart and makes me unique from all the rest and I guess it’s something that you just can’t fathom.
RL: [tuluyan nang nag-nosebleed]
Inday: I guess this is the end of this interview. I still have to prepare our evening victuals and update my blog. Tatah! Hi nga pala to my love, Dodong! I love you babes.
