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.

“Isa sa mga aktibong member ng (One of the active members of the) 5,000 strong Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc… allegedly (was a) business partner s’ya nung (of the) former MCTC [Municipal Circuit Trial Court] judge na naassign sa (assiged in) Siargao who was included in the narco list released by President Duterte,” Sangco said.

“Feeling the heat of the drug war, he managed to make some strategies, 'yung ginawa n'ya na convert 'yung (what he did was convert the) 5,000 strong members of the Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc. into a cult…para magiging human shield n'ya (to make them his human shield),” he added, referring to Sanico.

I consider myself fairly advanced in Filipino, English, millennial-speak (as he so eloquently describes), and PR bullshit — and I did not understand what he just said.
