Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


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.

Maybe... Because the government can't provide an efficient and adequate public transportation system.

Because the govt don't want to ruin the illusion of the middle class achieving individual progress by having a car. You don't want the middle class angry.

Because the govt don't want to fight car and petroleum industries who will benefit from the higher sales of cars.

agree. kasi sila mismo owner/investor/family-related/friens nung mga business man. Alam nila malulugi ang car business or oil companies pag gumanda ang transportation
