In 2016, Duterte’s drug war left 26,000 to 30,000 families, fatherless or husbandless. The wives and mothers of the killed victims are left trying to make ends meet for their families. The documentary follows three women named Maria after the bloodbath of Duterte’s drug war.

MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos may later be required to register their SIM (subscriber identity module) cards in person to make identity verification easier as the government finds ways to deter individuals from illegally selling their IDs for fraudulent activities.

Any split keyboard owners here? They seem to be terribly expensive with very few choices. What's worth pruchasing for portability and quality? I currently own a Delux 920 Pro but that thing is bulky to travel with.

Anyone here use Sync for Lemmy? This week it's so slow and has many errors for me. I went to the Sync community. I learned that other Sync users had issues too. The last update was March 2024. Had to download another app. :(

My phone is the Samsung a70. I picked Voyager.

Dam, son! Where’d you find this?

Meron po kaming Garahe na hindi naman nagagamit. Gusto ko sanang ipa-upa sa kaninuman. Say kung gusto niyang magtinda ng lutong-ulam, o say bigasan, o talipapaan, o say sari-sari store niya.

Pero, meron po bang mga Permit na dapat munang kuhanin at bayaran? Meron bang say dapat pang ipa-Rehistro muna, o BIR, o TIN, o ano pa man?

Any experience/ideas? Thanks in advance.

Nothing has come easily for Kansas City Chiefs kick returner Nikko Remigio. He spent all of last season on the practice squad and didn’t even have a space in the locker room; his locker was in the equipment room last season.

...

Speaking to reporters on Friday afternoon, Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said that beyond his work ethic, part of the reason Remigio has seen so much early success on punt returns is that he is still improving as a return man every week.

“During the regular season, he got better and better and better,” Toub remarked. “And now, in the playoffs, he’s really hitting his stride, and his confidence is high. And that’s what you want in a punt and kick returner is confidence.”

Along with his confidence, Toub said that he was impressed by Remigio’s tenacity.

Tenacity is a trademark of Filipino culture. When times get tough, you don’t just dwell on it, you keep fighting (or, “laban lang,” as they say in Tagalog, which translates to just fight).

Would like to see this model across the whole world! Local people are the backbone of any truly sustainable conservation plan.

May question ako, after the whole abandoning of this community.. Is there any hope for any move outside of the main social medias?

Intro

I've thought about this, since I've been exploring Mastodon, Bluesky vs Twitter/X.. Nostr. Any move outside of the main three, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Reddit.. fizzles out like this one. While there still remains somewhat of a community, such as the more popular communities in this fediverse.. I wonder what's the hope of switching away from the dominant socmeds if there is no homegrown movement here. I mean, look at me, I very rarely post, and look at Lemmy since any important info is almost always in reddit due to search..

Reflection

Don't get me wrong.. We all have lives outside of social media, (~~especially me~~), it's just.. very hard to come back and look at the multiple of dead communities, knowing you don't really have much to contribute. Like look at the many news posts, and random discussions.. Somebody has to take charge, and it's not going to be me.. I have so many things to do. My point is, there is low hope for any alt socmeds to reliably grow, if either the people that moved just.. move on from being chronically online or go back (to the big three), due to a multitude of reasons.

Conclusion

I think I'm just exhausted with my life, and that has permeated with my internet usage too. There's too many negative videos/posts that I have viewed, but there is much regret and procrastination outside. In conclusion..? I rambled for three paragraphs about Lemmy and the Fediverse, The Big Tech Social Medias, and the Philippines / Internet Culture..

Hope ya got something out of it!

Filipinos often have this idea that we suck at everything.

For example, when they see bad infrastructure design or mismanaged infra, they go: "OnLy In Da PeLePens". Except that awful infra is present everywhere else.

Here's one of an escalator in Georgia:

When they see litter, they say the exact same thing. Except that other countries litter too. In fact, here's one I found in Japan last week that was left by teenagers. When I got back the next morning it was still there. Why? Japan supposedly has subpar trash collection that's largely dependent on citizens bringing their trash home.

So, in this thread: Post anything you find that debunks this mindset.
