Kuripot talaga ang kuya nyo Pepe.

Konteksto:

"Rizal was once invited to a New Year's party or something. Of course, it was a potluck affair, and to make a long story short, Rizal was supposed to bring the champagne. [...] Rizal did not like the idea of supplying the drinks for this party. So he stood up and in a typical killjoy fashion told everyone that he was not paying for the drinks, inabonohan lang niya; so, before he leaves, will everyone please pay their share? Everyone was stunned and they probably thought he was joking, but then he passed his hat around; then they knew he was serious."

Ocampo, A. R. (2012). Rizal Without the Overcoat. Anvil Publishing. p.67

This same incident was also detailed in The First Filipino by Leon Ma. Guerrero (₱350.00) - https://shopee.ph/product/391059376/8047432844
