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.

The Catholic bishop of Dumaguete in central Philippines has decreed that people should not raise or hold hands while reciting the “Lord’s Prayer” during Mass.

Bishop Julito Cortes encouraged each churchgoer to instead “join his or her own hands… while the priest extends his hands in prayer”.

The mandate, announced June 16, was aimed to address “confusions” among the faithful concerning the proper hand posture.

“This will ensure clarity and uniformity of hand gesture among the faithful participating in the Holy Mass,” Cortes said.

The decree took effect immediately, as the bishop asked the faithful for their prayerful and continued support.

Cortes previously served as member of the Episcopal Commission Liturgy of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.

I need to be updated with these if ever I end up on a church again. Yung "and also with you" nga nagulat ako wala na, haha.

Haha tagal na nun. Pero ganun din reaction ko after years of not attending church services, with matching lip sync since iba na tono nung mga kanta.

"and with your spirit" na ata. I rarely go to church so I get surprised if things change too.

TBH, I still get tripped up with that. I still find myself murmuring "and also with you" when I should have been saying "and with your spirit." 😅
