An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


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.

I'd never listened to local radio since I subscribed to Spotify a decade ago, until I landed on Apple Music with their free radios (mostly mainstream and featured artists lang naman). Haha

I used to listen to a lot of AM radio in my childhood (lalo na kung "brownout", lol!), but recently, I'm the same as well. However, in times of disaster (typhoons, earthquakes, or man-made emergencies), I sometimes find myself looking for news coverage through my cellphone's radio app.

Call me old-fashioned or whatever, but iba pa rin kasi ang feeling nung makakarinig ka ng breaking news reports sa radyo eh.

Other than that, my local radio listening has gone down to almost nil in the past handful of years.


EDIT:โ€Œ Typos and such.

When my favorite FM radio station (Pure FM, from the province. Literally pure pop songs and sometimes classic pop every 9PM) shut down, dun na ako gradually nawalan ng interes sa radyo.

Ahhh, yeah. Ang saklap nga pag ganyan. And I'm still grieving the loss of NU 108 (not even a rockhead, lol! I just like their programming).

I don't usually listen to FM radio nowadays, except if Iโ€Œ want that "office music" feel at home, in which case I'll go to 96.3 (DWRKโ€Œ Easy Rock, Metro Manila).
