Jejebusters or Jejemon-busters is a group grammar nazi who dedicates on the eradication of the Philippine Pop Culture called Jejemon. The "Jejemon" involves using different spellings in text messages and in social networking sites.

DepEd
The Department of Education is the "Largest Jejebuster Force." They had declared an “all-out-war” against Jejemons. Education Secretary Mona Valisno said “Not only that Jejemon language is not pleasing to the eyes, it has also destroyed years of achievements of the DepEd in pushing for better education quality,”. She also said that she will come up with a new DepEd order that encourages school officials to teach and promote proper spelling/pronunciation among Primary and Secondary Students. They discourage jejemons especially in sending text messages and are seeking to clean school age Filipinos from using Jejemon mentality.

Jejemon's Reaction
Some hardcore Jejemons believe that DepEd Would not cause the eradication of Jejemons and their Jejemon language.

Catholic Bishop
While not Jejemons, Jejemon fanatics have also found an ally in the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Youth chairman and Legazpi Bishop Joel Baylon, who said language is less important than certain values. Yet, Baylon advised teachers to teach correct grammar well instead.
