An echo chamber of various leftists (wokes, yellowtards/pinktards, socialists, and communists) from the Philippines, primarily containing anti-government sentiment when it comes to political and socio-cultural issues. While prior to 2016 during the election of current President Rodrigo Duterte, it is known to have a relatively fair and normal discussion when it comes to almost any Philippines-related topic, otherwise obscure from the general population due to the lack of interest from mainstream media outlets such as ABS-CBN or GMA-7. But ever since the president's administration began, it has sharply slanted itself as a forum for users with anti-government and opposition sentiment, even to the point of becoming an echo chamber due to the massive downvoting of challenging or pro-government views. This has been further proven by the admin's obvious leftist bias judging from the background color and profile pic.

Get the philippines mug.A beautiful country southeast of China. It's a melting pot of western and eastern cultures. Although many people hate on the Philippines, that's unjustified becuase they're just there to look around. you have to live there to know the def. Filipinos (it's spelled with an F) are very religious, respectful, humble and hospitable people. WE are very classy and have great success when brought into the world stage. Big things that came out of the Philippines:
-Lea Salonga, singer and actress. Currently working at Broadway and sang for the Mulan soundtrack.
-Karaoke. The inventor was Filipino, but the Japanese popularized it
-Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran. Miss Universe winners. These women made a point to the world that the Philippines is home to beautiful people
-Fluorescent Lights. Invented by a filipino named Flores but the plans were sold to the French. FLUORESent. much like FLORES.
-Lydia de Vega, fastest woman in Asia
-the Marcoses. Yeah, Imelda and Ferdinand themselves.
-the moon buggy. The main idea of a moon buggy was created by a Filipino
-Manny Pacquiao. Best bocer pound-by-pound. Straight out of Gen San.
-Economical and miltary strategically located.

Get the Philippines mug.negative side:
a country where the media particularly the abs-cbn network is more powerful than the PNP(philippine national police). It is a country where people don't give a fuck about what the cops says, and if the cops do they job, people will either cry their ass out asking mercy from the public or shouting "youre volating my human rights!!" It is also a very corrupted country and some people here are very lazy and blames everything on the president if their life is severely fucked up.
positive side:
awesome beaches(ex. boracay, cebu, etc), beautiful babes or bebots, nightlife, etc.

Get the Philippines mug.The Philippines is the country that rules the whole entire world. They were the country that colonized every country and human being way before any other country was colonized and discovered.

Get the Philippines mug.Formerly the best subreddit ever made, now the WORST subreddit ever made.
Examples of posts:
Before (2008-2016, Pre-Duterte):
Manila stops construction of Torre de Manila
Enrile vs Miriam: Enrile shreds Miriam in privilege speech
Now (2016-present, Duterte-present era):
Tattoos talaga sya! Say no to misinformation :))
(just unfunny comedy posts now)
