An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
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.

Todayβs Ask PHlemmings: What do you miss about quarantine in 2020?
Earth's healing.
I miss the slow-paced lifestyle. I loved the feeling of waking up and having nothing on my agenda. No plans, no responsibility, no expectations. I could exist without having to worry about keeping up with anxiety-inducing social demands.
Yung mga pets ng reporters ang kyut at kukulit nila. Kung manonood ka sa youtube.
The memes, like this parody of Metal Gear Solid.
Meron din prepper group in FB that wanted to team up together for a real life version of The Division so that they could come to people's aid during the pandemic against looters and rioters. Dami ko tawa kasi sa wakas nakahanap na sila ng excuse i-relive yung fantasy nila.
PhP38/L gas prices is my practical answer.
Pero in my heart siguro, yung smogless skyline ng Manila. Yung mga photos na may visible mountains sa timeline ko at that time probably helped me in coping with the situation.
i love that a lot of artists at that time were doing lives on insta, tiktok, etc. made it feel like they were somehow accessible hehe
Being at home with my dogs 24/7. And also the ph subreddit random discussions were really fun back then
not a lot actually, it was a moment of hardship and not earning money and not being able to explore
Work from home.
no traffic T_T
The massive amount of free time na bigla na lang ihahanda sa'yo on a silver platter.
Wished na nagamit ko yun for upskilling rather than binging, though didn't regretted doing the latter din naman.
Empty roads. Napilitan ako mag-bike nung start ng pandemic kasi no work no pay me kami, ang sarap magbike sa gitna ng EDSA hahaha
