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.

When people say having kids is a blessing, some may find it funny in certain situations, but after ko makakilala ng tao na ang naisip lang ma way makatakas sa poverty ay magkaroong ng anak namakatawid sa middle class, iniisip ko talaga na blessing na sya whatever scenario. Serious un. Pinagdasal nya daw every day na yung pinagbubuntis nya ang aahon sa kanya sa kahirapan. Pinagbigyan naman dasal nya. I'm still pro-choice jaz to be clear.

This is taken from lengthy speech from FB. It feels like pahabol lang ito sa speech ng Eng'g grad dahil may ibang reading at nakulangan sa insight yung isang tao with a background in Humanities.

May isa pang critique ang pwede ibigay dun sa speech ng bata. While the kid tries to answer kung paano ba maging responsible parent, medyo nakulangan pa din ako sa sagot.

Imagine, nagsumikap ka para maging financially stable and then shit happen. You know, because the government or acts of god etc. Insurance ba ang isasagot natin? Hindi kasi natin masisigurado yung financial standing natin in the future. There's always a chance na papalpak plans natin.

Kaya important na aside from striving for financial stability, we also strive for a just society. Di nabanggit yun sa speech. Sayang. STEM kasi. STEM din ako jaz to be clear, kaya alam ko naging kakulangan ng education ko.
