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.

Saan ito banda? I used to be taken on trips to Pampanga in the early 90's but I don't really remember those guys.

Not sure of the exact locations, but iirc this was in NLEX between Bulacan and just before Pampanga.

Thanks! I think I know why I am not familiar with those, we usually take the ~~Calumpit~~ Pulilan exit (hence, di na kami umaabot sa Candaba viaduct).

I found some FB posts like the one screenshotted below which told me it's near the NLEX San Fernando exit:

So, yeah, it's beyond where we usually exit (Calumpit or rarely, San Simon).
