r/Philippines

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.

Phillips Exeter Academy

Phillips Exeter Academy is a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire of approximately 1,000 students. Regarded as the most prestigious high school in the country, most notably for academics, Phillips Exeter Academy is renowned worldwide for its unique teaching method, “The Harkness Table.” The principal is based off the idea that the students are of such a high intellect that they are able to teach each other, and thus the teacher of the class simply acts as a moderator for the brilliant discussion which occurs. In simpler terms, the students are so smart they teach themselves and don’t need a teacher to tell them what to do.

Students of PEA, known as Exonians, have an infamous rivalry with the students of Phillips Academy Andover, another East coast boarding school. Founded a few years earlier and with a slightly larger student body, Andover is normally considered the age old back up, or “safety school” to Exeter. There are many examples of the clashing between the two. Exeter Red/Andover Blue Exeter wins football, basketball, track…/Andover wins hockey Exeter accepts the most brilliant minds of the world/Andover accepts George W. Bush

In essence, Exeter is the school for the distinctive minds of the United States and beyond. Unfortunately, Andover, and many of the East coast boarding schools, remain places for the children of the pompous rich to attend and survive on the graces of their parents. Exeter alumni continue to make innumerable contributions to ...
the world, be it donating a stadium to a lesser school such as Andover, or something as simple as the environmental contributions of alumnus Gifford Pinchot.
My son applied to Phillips Exeter Academy but was not accepted. So we’ll just end up sending him to Andover. I hope he doesn't come out too screwd up.

The boy, described as “apish, moronic, alcoholic, and masturbated too often,” was a graduate of Phillips Academy Andover. While enjoying his birthday present of a position as “President of the United States,” he choked on a pretzel and was sent to the finest hospital in the land where an Exeter doctor watched over him

willful Philistinism

Being proud of enjoying something that is frowned upon by the cultural elite.
"Call me a willful Philistine, but I think McDonald's has the best french fries bar none!"

"I know I'm a music snob, but I love Britney Spears. That's my willful Philistinism."

Example of willful Philistinism: "I may not know art, but I know what I like."

Phillip le

the funniest, sexiest man alive. A boy at heart, though he tries to hide it. Naughty and nice all at once! Always the center of attention; as it is well deserved. Sporty, classy, funny, smart, affectionate - all appealing traits put together in one lovable person. The best boyfriend in the world; and the best friend you could ever have.

x3 The love of my life.

Philistine = No Culture
A conformist in everything they do. A person who is obsessed with sports, sex (among the High School and College set in particular, but some may not be at all) and Motor vehicles. They listen to whatever everyone else is listening to (especially if it is Country Music, Classic Rock, Nickleback, Limp Bizkit or rap/Hip Hop in the case of many younger philistines), wear whatever everyone else is wearing, and avoid anything that is in the least bit unusual, unique, or eccentric. They tend to have little to no use for art, be of limited intelligence, be obsessed with such things as NASCAR, golf, Hunting and Fishing, and tend to drive gas guzzling vehicles like SUVs and Extended cab Pickup Trucks. They are the fuel behind reality television. They love ATVs and all the damage they cause to the land. They could care less about the environment, only recycle if they feel a significant profit is to be made, and think that by keeping everything cut (grass, brush etc, ignorant of the fact that the plants that they are leaving are invasive) and throwing everything in the trash that they are helping the environment.
They are ignorant of geography and will generalize an entire region under the identity of a single city eg Paramount's King's Island being in "Cincinnati", Disney World being in "Orlando", Coral Castle being in "Miami" and Tybee Island being in "Savannah".
No capability of thinking outside the box or any other sort of critical thinking for that matter.
The United States is domminated by Philistines.
