One of the oldest and largest Filipino gangs, Bahala Na Gang (meaning "WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS") were established among inmates in the notorious jails of the Philippines in the early 1940s and eventually spread its operations throughout the globe^[1]. Also known as BNG, certified members are known to proudly display tattoos of a question mark or for minor members a single tattoo of a ball on the left hand.^{[citation needed]} Older members have prison-made tattoos featuring a snake and a dagger with the initials of the gang or a rabbit somewhat resembling bugs bunny though it looks mangled and high and has a floppy right ear. Bahala Na is known for being one of the most infamous gangs in the Philippines due to the gang's involvement in drug trafficking, murder, carjacking, kidnapping and other various crimes.^{[citation needed]} In the Philippines and United States, high ranking members are currently serving prison time. Members are currently active in California cities such as San Diego,Los Angeles, San Jose, Alameda, Oakland, San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Sacramento.^[1]
