Putang ina mo!

–¡Chino habías de ser para ser bueno– dijo al fin Aristóteles en el colmo de la desesperación.
– Y tú putang inamo–concluyó Sian-Co marchándose.
Y así terminó el suceso tan prósperamente comenzado la noche anterior.

1893, Wenceslao Retana, José Feced, La Política de España en Filipinas, Volume 3 (overall work in Spanish), la Viuda de M. Minuesa de los Rios, page 99:

"You had to be to be a good Chinese!", said Aristotle at last in the height of despair.
"And you you son of a bitch", concluded Sian-Co while marching out.
And so ended the event so prosperously begun the night before.

I would pounce out upon him, and before he would cry
“PUTANGINAMO”
(a reprehensible swear-word much used, alas! by those poor heathen),...

1916, Walter H. Young, A Merry Banker in the Far East (and South America) (overall work in English), John Lane, page 59:

–Hoy, putang-ina mo, e, kailangan pa bang magpaputok ka?
–Awat ka na, Ka Emong, wala pa tayong laban ngayon. Konting lamig!

1978, Edel E. Garcellano, Ficcion, Tamaraw Publishing Company, page 90:

–Hey, you son of a bitch, eh, did you need to shoot?
–Stop it already, Comrade Emong, we don't have the capacity to fight yet. A little cooling off!

"The accused, here, an eleven-year-old boy, shot the offended party who caught him shooting at the latter's mango fruits. The accused further uttered the words " Putang ina mo, mabuti matikman mo." It was held that the first part of the remark clearly manifested the perverted character of the accused and the second part reflected his satisfaction.

1979, Philippine Law Journal, volume 54 (overall work in English), College of Law, University of the Philippines, page 109:

"The accused, here, an eleven-year-old boy, shot the offended party who caught him shooting at the latter's mango fruits. The accused further uttered the words " Fuck you, it's good you got a taste." It was held that the first part of the remark clearly manifested the perverted character of the accused and the second part reflected his satisfaction.

2014, Taga Imus, Sa Celfone: Tagalog Gay Story, Taga Imus M2M Books - TGIMS Publishing Services, →ISBN, page 23:
