An abandoned 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.

I was talking to my mom about this earlier. I pointed out that each local church chapter is incentivized (even if central church authorities have not said anything, in private or in public) to bring as many people as they can as a show of "good church stewardship" or whatever.

I fully expected them to fill up the venue, even expecting some spill over, and the coverage on that church's TV network has emphasized the size of the crowds.

That said, I wonder what's the peak crowd numbers have been. I fully expect it to have peaked around 4pm earlier.

Edit: typos, spelling and other minor mistakes.

Ending at 1.5 mil na EVM sheep sa Quirino, and guessing unofficial smol clusters of people in some areas na di lalagpas ng 10k 🙃

Fwiw, that's about the rough estimate of their members who are registered voters.

Thanks! I am currently listening to the news while doing something else and I might have missed the crowd estimates.
