An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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 don't remember it ever becoming a law

It never became a law, as it remained a bill after getting stuck on the First Reading way back in 2013

This is an illustration how a bill becomes a law:

Blue is for the first house, which may be either Senate or the House of Representatives; Orange is for the second house, which is whichever isn’t the first house; and Green is for both houses.

Maybe it's because it was never really enforced by any establishment?

It can’t be enforced, since it never became a law. See my other comment on this post

This never became a law. There were deliberations on the chambers that became viral (simply because of the absurd premise), but that's about it.
