Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


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.

I did not realize he was 71 years old. I thought he’d stick around for a much longer time.

He was absent from newscasts for quite a while now. I think it was only a matter of time before they called it.

Edit: What shocked me is that he was in the business for 50 years already. He just showed up in Saksi around the mid-90s and I thought that was his start.

Well the mid-90s is almost 30 years ago
