Stanley Chi

Suplado Tips[6] is Chi's brainchild. It started as a random and impromptu post on Facebook. "That online post turned out to be my very first suplado tip," Chi said. "I toyed with the idea that being cocky can be a means of getting what you want – or at least a way to delude yourself that you already have everything in the first place." Soon after he shared several of his suplado tips on Facebook, people started reposting his tips.

"Many people dream of sticking it to their bosses or giving someone they hate a nasty remark or two, but they often resort to doing none of the above. Filipinos tend to be non-confrontational, avoiding conflicts as much as they can. Suplado Tips is the funny respite that people with a grudge have been looking for," Chi said. "Reading a suplado tip is like acting out a fantasy. The book gives you many scenarios where being standoffish gives you the upper hand, something which otherwise would not happen in real life," Chi added.

Having been released nationwide in National Bookstore and Fully Booked outlets just last March, stores have reported a shortage of the book. In under three months, there have been about 3000 copies sold nationwide. Suplado Tips is already undergoing its first reprinting. The book has reaped a cult following even before the book's release, with readers already scouring bookstores months before the book made it to the shelves.

Suplado Tips has spurred on a series of video testimonials, all of which hailed the book in comical embroidery. Ramon Bautista, a TV celebrity and a host of the former radio show, The Brewrats, gave the first testimonial. "Simula nung tinuruan ako ni Stanley Chi na maging suplado, nawala ang ubo ko (Ever since Stanley Chi taught me how to be stuck-up, my cough disappeared)," Bautista said in the video with pokerfaced wit. Obviously meant as a comical testament, Bautista went on to describe how being suplado has gained him more fans and stalkers, and how it eventually cured his skin problems. (Bautista also stepped up later on to write the book's foreword.) Since then, many other celebrities have given their own hilarious accounts of how Suplado Tips has helped them, some of which were not entirely fictional.

With the book selling well months before the official book launch last May, PSICOM Publishing Inc.'s Tom Aquitania was more than happy that he asked Chi to write the book. After the undeniable popularity of Chi's suplado tips on Facebook and on television's Front Act (of which Chi was a host), Aquitania asked Chi to compile them into a book. "Stanley's suplado tips on Facebook has even led to the creation of the Suplado Society of the Philippines, complete with its own suplado oath. All of this, despite being clearly just a pseudo-serious joke, is also an unmistakable sign that Stanley Chi's suplado tips is something the public will want more of," Aquitania said.

Suplado Tips 2 was launched last March 2012 at National Bookstore Shangri-La mall.[7]

Suplado Tips books 1 and 2 are Chi's 4th and 5th books.
