An opinion piece published by BusinessWorld discusses the term 'Amboy' as applied to Chibu Lagman, reflecting on its political and cultural implications.
The term 'Amboy,' a portmanteau of 'American boy,' is often used as a derogatory label for Filipinos perceived to have primary loyalty to the United States. In left-wing activist circles, it is employed as a political insult.
The piece examines how such labels are deployed in Philippine political discourse and their effect on public figures like Lagman.
