"smart shaming," is the idea that intellectual pursuits are somehow unworthy of
trust or that one lacks knowledge and understanding of them. It's a mentality in
which those who display intelligence are mocked for it (Sison, 2015). Studies
have been done to examine the culture of smart shaming, which is what has
caused the issue in this study. The purpose of this research is to clarify the

Philippine society, especially among academics and high achievers. This study
There’s been a lot of talk about toxic Pinoy habits recently. Specifically,
there’s been a lot of flak about our spreading of fake news, of our inability to
follow simple road rules and our “manhid” feelings towards anything that doesn’t
personally involve us. But right now, in this study, we’re talking about something
that is currently existing especially in the field of education: smart shaming. What

“Daming alam” means “You know too much” and unfortunately it's always said in
a tone of arrogance most of the time from a person who is intellectually shaming.
“May pinaglalaban” is always said when you are trying to let your political opinion
be heard but majority of the “kids” find the statements to be mature that you're

shaming, with everyone always saying, "Maybe you're smart? That's why you
take ABM", "You ABM students are just good at doing math", "Are you smart in
math?" and "Aren't you weak in analyzing? Why did you take an ABM? You're

ability to handle things will someday become one of the hindrances of their
