An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

The problem I have with these people lawyering for Bam and Kiko is that when anyone else does it, matic ekis kaagad sa kanila.

When bills like the Maharlika fund and legalizing POGOs were put up for a vote, they get mad at those who side (or abstain) with the express intent of not pissing off the super majority and burning political capital. Wag daw kalimutan yung mga bumoto for it. But now that Bam and Kiko are doing it, purist ka na when you call it out.

Heck, just a few weeks ago we were mad at Chiz โ€” pero ngayon we're letting Bam and Kiko's decision to vote for him as SP slide kasi "hurr durr committee chairmanship".

Naaalala ko na naman tuloy yung pagdadownplay nila sa mga LGBT who hated Heidi's conservative ass. Single issue voter daw. Kek.

Edit: Sure enough, Bam got screwed. His platform was free college education and guaranteed jobs which are under Higher, Technical and Vocational Education. Instead, he only gets Basic Education - his same chair from way back.

All matters directly and principally relating to pre-school, elementary and secondary education, science high schools except the Philippine Science High School System, special education, teachers' and students' welfare, non-formal and community adult education, the national language, libraries and museums, and the preservation and enrichment of Filipino culture.

Edit 2: Looks like it actually paid off. Cayetano is looking to pawn off the Science & Tech chairmanship to him.
