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.

Once a scammer, always a scammer? Or, more specifically, once you accept that working for a scam is a viable option, you will always consider jumping to another scam ship if your current boat sinks.

What an unfortunate gal.

On the other hand, maybe she can sell her (fictionalized) story to some movie studio. A story of a kind-hearted, optimistic, yet gullible gal who just can't help but fall for such scams.

If she's lucky, maybe it'd form a basis for a comedy series. Season 1 would be her misadventures in Myanmar. Then a flashback season would tell of her backstory, and what happened after she got saved. Season 2 would be on her Pasay POGO ordeal. If she's (un)lucky, she'd get more seasons.

But then again, I'm thinking in terms of Japanese anime. If her story would be produced here, it'd either be a heavy drama teleserye on TV5 (or ABS-CBN) or a very kitsch comedy series on GMA7.
