Is just me, or eto ang strayegy ng mga trolls ngayon?
Hearing ni Duterte there are people na taga react and clap kapqg nagsasalita si Dutere
Now, sa debate ng GMA 7 everytime bato and bondoc talks and gives a rebuttal may mga pumapalakpak maski non sense naman yung rebuttal nila
Nag start kami 12K/month tapos yearly 1K ang increase. Sabi nya last year tapos na sa 18K pero maging 19K na raw this year. Less than 10K lang pala sakop ng rent control kaya ewan ko kung may pwede kami depensa dito. Wala naman OR dito so di naman nakaregister itong apartments nila.
Why am I feeling worried about the safety of Mayor Vico Sotto in the future? With all the praises and undeniable social media popularity of the mayor, Im worried na one day he might get assasinated.
I watched lots of his daily morning routine na bumibisita sa mga barangay ng pasig city. And it makes him so vulnerable for surprise ambush.
We know how dirty our political system is and how evil our politicians are.These assasinations happened so many times to good leaders who tries to challenge the current system.
Im hoping na maging President natin siya maybe 10 years from now. kaya sana, he always prioritized safety. And Im always hoping for his safety.
Joe Bageant: “The people” don’t give a rat’s bunghole about social programs or the poor or other races or the planet or animals or anything else. They LIKE cheap gas and making life tough for queers. They LIKE chasing Thanksgiving Day Xmas sales. And when fascism comes, they will like that, too.
Happy Sunday!!
I can't divulge much info here for the safety of my identity but I'm in a situation where I need a piece of information from one specific person's phone. It's not to use against them or for my benefit (not in competition with them or anything), but just to know what decisions I should be making moving forward regarding my own endeavors. Asking for the info directly is not an option since it's not a big deal at all but it would be unorthodox. Is there a way to fully tap into a person's phone even? Do I need a PI or a hacker? And where would I even get one? I am all new to this so please respect. Any help would be great.
Magandang hatinggabi r/Philippines!
Apparently this partylist is giving out "free" health insurance to vote...ehem "mamamayan" pala.
There's just a few issue here:
Honestly, mukha namang di sila mananalo pero it's still sickening that they are offering sugar pills to people para iboto sila. Yeah and eff you Korina Sanchez for letting them use your platform.
All Ka Leody said was that Cory and Gloria were ineffective in addressing inequality. He pointed out the privatization of utilities and the introduction of the provincial rate.
u/gmaintegratednews, akala ko ba wala kayong kinikilingan? This is blatant manipulation, and its clearly meant to discredit Ka Leody as a misogynist when that wasnt even mentioned in his reply.
Malaking sahod pero bakit Hindi parin kuntento? Do they really run for helping the people or just securing themselves to gain this massive pay? Despite the pay they receive they still clinging for someone's money. I am not pointing a specific politician but everybody knows one reason they after this position because it means business.
Why is ABS-CBN producing so few new television programs? The only new teleseries/drama that is being broadcast right now is Incognito, which I am watching. Back in 2018, there were 11 different drama series shown that year, many being shown at once. See the list on Wikipedia called “List of ABS-CBN Studios original drama series”. Of course, ABS/CBN was banned from broadcasting over the air in May 2020, but afterward they continued to film many series for streaming services. Recently, production has dropped off so that their only new series is Incognito. Incognito seems to be just as good as any of the the shows they produced in the past, but that is all they are doing right now. I have an iWantTFC subscription and watch from the USA.
Gusto ko yung sagutan ni Danilo Ramos, Heidi, Mendoza, Teddy Casiño and still Luke Espiritu. All four alam kung ano yung kailangan ng tao sa grassroots level and kung anong reforms kailangan sa gobyerno.
So far sila pa lang yung okay. Disappointed that Bam and Kiko did not join this. Sana may susunod pa.
First of all, I apologize if there are other posts regarding this topic already. I tried to look for a similar post and didn't see anything. Anyway, I just want to applaud GMA for this debate setup. It displays every attendee's stance regarding a subject matter, it allows one person from each side to defend their stance, and they're somewhat strict with time. Malinis at civilized yung ambience ng debate and hindi puro sigawan/bangayan. It being pre-recorded live also helped since they were able to summarize statements and display it onscreen. They were also able to fact check some statements. Anyway, they're currently live on GMA's socmed accounts (Idk if I'm allowed to share links)
Mana sa amo nila
Yeah that might not work.
I've seen a couple of facebook posts and reels etc' containing reddit stories from r/mca and r/adviceph . There are even posts from "reputable" media companies containing reddit posts. Idk, just the last 3 weeks I've seen over a dozen of them. I've taken note of 1 page, skipped over a few others.
So short PSA for those planning to post exclusively on reddit: think twice.
That's all. Carry on.
I never thought that buying a meal at McDonald's would get me labeled as a DDS and a supporter of genocide. But here I am, accused of being "clueless" just because I didn’t jump on the bandwagon of boycotting Israeli-affiliated businesses. This happened in our countr, the Philippines, a country where many are just trying to make a living—yet some people think they have the moral high ground by attacking their fellow Filipinos for simply existing in a capitalist system. I am a Leni Supporter, my family has contributed a lot in Pasig City for Leni and Kiko, and as a Leni Supporters, we have been Red tagged a lot and we hate it don't we. But being labeled as a DDS, agad agad, napakunot agad ako at napaisip, na ito yung sinasabi nila dito sa reddit.
They claim to stand for Palestine, but in doing so, they’re also hurting our own people. Companies are downsizing, cutting jobs, and reducing wages due to economic struggles—and yet they push for boycotts without understanding the consequences. Many of the employees in these companies have nothing to do with geopolitics; they just want to provide for their families. AND, YET they attack the government for an increase in UNEMPLOYMENT RATE in this country.
What’s even more ironic is how these people blindly follow social media narratives from Twitter and TikTok without deeper understanding. They cry for Palestine’s independence, and attack other countries for example, Israel, Japan and Sokor or even Singapore, while ignoring that Israel, Japan and South Korea—are three major trade partners of the Philippines— and these two do not even have any full recognition of Palestine, only Israel. Yet these same people want Japan and South Korea to take a stand for Palestine while ignoring the fact that Hamas has ties and showed support to North Korea. They should know that everything is about business in this modern world, is it valuable to trade with palestine in a geopolitical/economical way?
And let’s talk about hypocrisy. Many of these so-called activists love to cite Indonesia and Turkey as examples of pro-Palestinian nations, but little do they acknowledge that Indonesia refuses to recognize the independence of West Papua (continously genociding), and Turkey has been oppressing the Kurds for decades. Even the UAE, despite calling for Palestinian rights, is deeply involved in conflicts that harm other ethnic groups and even in Yemen, where almost of the people who have died there has a higher death toll since than the palestinians since 1940s. If they truly cared about justice, why do they selectively choose which oppressed people to support?
I’m fully AWARE of these issues—perhaps more than the people who tried to shame me for buying a burger. The problem is that their "activism" is nothing more than surface-level outrage fueled by social media trends. They claim to be critical thinkers, but their sources are often just viral posts and emotionally charged videos. If they took the time to research beyond what Twitter or TikTok feeds them, maybe they’d see the bigger picture.
I have friends who are a Jew and a Palestinian, they both coexist, they are both fed up with multiple propagandas of both states and the people who are gullible to believe it. As for I am also. We want these two to coexist, but these people should understand that this war is very complex, and only these two will solve it. Not OUTSIDE but INSIDE.
Boycotting is a personal choice, and I respect those who do it for genuine reasons. But attacking fellow Filipinos and worsening our own economy while hypocritically ignoring other global injustices? That’s just performative activism at its finest.
