Description[]
Wala Na. Finish Na., is a 2015 catchphrase by a former Filipino prisoner Bethoven Delmar Jr. on his interview in a news report of Aksyon TV. It expresses loss and hopelessness, translating as "it's over, it's/I'm finished", similar to Forever Alone. In 2018, in the Philippines, the clip went viral online throughout Facebook and Reddit, including memes about a sudden loss experience with the clip.
Origin[]
The catchphrase originated from the news report from Amber Gonzales in the now-defunct Aksyon TV, broadcasted in the Philippine television on December 17, 2015. It is said that it had dark origins, as it was reported on that time that he was arrested in Cubao on Quezon City at the age of 25 by the Philippine National Police officers due to attempted rape and trespassing, as shown below on this quote.
| “ | This is from an interview with bleeding Delmar, who got arrested at Quezon City Police Department Station 7 for attempted rape and trespassing. During the interview, Delmar admittedly told the interviewer that he was clearly drunk and high on drugs. According to him, he threatened his victim's life by seducing her while holding a knife. He also admitted on national television that one of his hobbies while drunk and drugged is rape. He admittedly regretted his actions afterwards. | ” |
