Mabuhay at maligayang pagdating sa Lemmy! ๐ต๐ญ
A fediverse community for the Philippines and all things Filipino!
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.

Sadly, these protests are all performative. Just photo-ops for celebrities and influencers for brownie points and clout.
Ideal scenario: Something actually happens โ albeit only small potatoes get jailed and the few big wigs that do, would end up getting pardoned in 2028.
Likely scenario: Nothing happens. By 2026, we'll all forget about this โ same as Pharmally, Lost Sabungeros, Hacienda Luisita, Fertilizer Fund Scam โ and get outraged about what new expose is revealed. Meanwhile, the "heroic" individuals in this whole brouhaha like Remulla, Dizon, Magalong, jettisons their popularity into national positions.
hmm i do hope that the other more.. organized people keep up the attention and rhetoric but yeah what you said can still happen
