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.

Tbf, Marcos Jr. isn't the only president to gain the ire of "the people" when they would partake on "extra-curriculars". Even P-Noy was called out for buying a sportscar (good thing they weren't familiar with his audiophile hobby that would make a Porsche look like a Wigo) or Duterte's love for motorcycles. Heck, who can forget the furor over Arroyo's 20k Le Cirque dinner?
That being said, I'm not one of these guys. Love or hate them, they are still presidents so they should be allowed to take the chopper anywhere they want, spend on what they find joy in, and stay and eat where state leaders should be eating.
