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.

A woman in the Philippines who scored a surprise win against an Australian business in the Fair Work Commission has blazed a trail for potential legal claims โ€” including class actions โ€” by offshore workers, lawyers say.

Joanna Pascua, who was sacked last year by a Brisbane credit repair outfit for whom she was doing paralegal work from her home in Manila, drew on her experience advocating for clients in Australia to file an unfair dismissal claim.

On a side note:

Honestly as a foreigner staying in ph it pains me to see how many Australians just offshore their work here and still find ways to cut corners. It's incredibly demoralizing to be talking to people who don't realize how much they are being exploited.

I know one of the CEOs is even running his events to win trips to Australia like their own personality cults where to win you have to know as much as possible about your boss' life and achievement.
