Pogi Points
This pogi point-system was created by Argee Guevarra, a UP
law graduate) who
writes a column in Business Day, a newspaper. For
a more contemporary understanding of how to score pogi
points, I devised a
system of prescribing pogi points to male accessories and
any other
attribute which might significantly contribute to a guy's
gross human worth,
exempting any facial distortions. Medyo ni-revise lang
namin.
