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.

Filipino artists whose works were featured on our daily random thread covers.

Mr. Antipas Delotavo just gave us the blessing to use his artwork for the daily random discussion threads. Became a fan of his after seeing today's painting on Podium mall's Art Lounge a few years ago.

Just a random German here. Please don't trivialize the Holocaust. Thank you.

[–] tahann 10 points 1 year ago

Hello! If you're referring to the posted artwork, let me offer some context. The people depicted are Filipino low-income laborers.

The art can be read as saying, "Capitalists are the new Nazi." With what's going on in the world, I don't think it's a trivial statement. It's a warning.

[–] asunaspersonalasst@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Going by our depressingly low literacy rates, proliferation of fake news/disinformation, a malfunctioning quality of education, and dramatic increase of malnutrition, we can't fully promise that. 😔

[–] theyawner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There's also memes. Memes are arguably more likely to trivialize issues even if it was not the intent. I was surprised to learn when a friend talked about a stuff toy their kid wanted. They were not familiar with the character/s until I gathered from their description that the kid wanted countryballs merch.

But what's alarming is that the kid seemed like they enjoyed memes around Nazi Germany and Russia as if they're Saturday morning cartoon anti-heroes.

Morning to every Phlemmy out there

Do you think manny pacquiao is the most talented person in the world? he is good at boxing, billiards, chess, darts, basketball, golf, can play the piano and guitar. He is also a successful evangelical pastor,politician, and businessman. The only filipino to ever get invited to speak at Oxford Union. It seems that this man can just do anything.

[–] MixedRaceHumanAI@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You really forgot he's a singer. :(

Hello! Salamat at naisipan niyo gamitin yung painting. To be honest, hindi ko alam na may Lemmy kaya bagong bago ako dito. 😅 Ayun lang. I just made an account to check this out lol. Kung meron man dito na taga-Iloilo o pupunta sa Iloilo sa Jul 28, may show siya next week sa ILOMOCA! 😬

idk who to tag but thank you mods!

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Welcome to our humble community! Bago lang ito, barely a month old. But most of the users are from Reddit.

Ayan nga nakatawag ng pansin sa mga foreigner yung painting (see bottom comments), heh.

Finally finished Food Wars up to the fourth season!

[–] monknonoke@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ayun nga, magrresign na si coworker kaya nakipag negotiate ako ng schedule para madami akong off na dire-diretso tutal aalis na siya and who knows anong gagawin ng company.

Medyo lantaran na nga ako 🙈 in exchange ako na kukuha ng night shifts niya until matapos siya mag render (allergic talaga siya sa night shift).

It's a good deal 😎 vacation mode na naman ang ate niyo. Kailangan ko na sulitin ang mga natitirang panahon.

[–] yeontura@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters will represent the Philippines in this year's Jones Cup in New Taipei, and they're bringing in Ange Kouame as their import. This, after their impressive showing in the PBA preseason, having a 6-2 card so far.

This is the first time the tournament will be held after the pandemic. The last time was in 2019, when Mighty Sports, coached by Charles Tiu and reinforced by Renaldo Balkman and other PBA ex-imports, won the men's tourney.

4 more days until weekend. Pero may class din lang on Saturday and Sunday this week. 😭

Btw, if you're interested in joining a baguio centric discord server, message me for an invite. (not sure if linking here is allowed.)

[–] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I'm already there but since I don't discord much, I don't know if my ad for the Baguio lemmy instance is still there.

Kelan ba mawawala yung mga specific na species ng rodents na laging nagsisusuot sa tirahan ng mga tao kung saan di naman dapat sila magsisuksok, yung naging mga peste na sa kasaysayan ng tao?

Ayaw tuloy niya umuwi hangga't di ko naalis yung bubwit dito haynaku. Any recs?

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nasabi ko ito sa RD thread kahapon na may daga na rin dito sa amin after almost a decade of not seeing one. Napabili tuloy ako ng electronic bait. Through Shopee, so tiis tiis na lang muna na bubulaga siya ulit sa CR habang nagna-number two, lol.

[–] tahann 4 points 1 year ago

I used about a dozen of Pest Off Glue Board. There's usually a community hidden somewhere.

[–] mr_alkaline_vegans@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Fly paper then i-tape mo 'yung edges sa surface. Kung mabilis si bubwit at hindi dumidikit sa trap, maglagay ka ng obstacle/s sa path papunta sa trap to slow it down.

[–] Prazaris@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you guys think this country will eventually have a high capacity (let’s say that can hold 70-80k people) outdoor stadium in the near future? I became interested in this topic because of Taylor Swift and Coldplay’s world tour as they perform in outdoor stadiums and it then occurred to me that we actually don’t have a high capacity outdoor stadium here (though I guess it makes sense as Filipinos typically aren’t into outdoor sports so I guess the investment for a high capacity stadium probably isn’t worth it).

[–] starscar12@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

It's a possibility, yes, but logistics would be a nightmare if not planned properly (see Philippine Arena). Another factor will be return of investment; you wouldn't be building such large stadium if the events are too far from between.

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We can and should. Kita naman with these k-pop concerts na sold out kadalasan and madami pa gusto manood, pano pa kaya when the big guns come over.

Problem is logistics. The only plausible locations for these venues are in far away patches of land like Bulacan, Clark, Laguna, etc. and getting there as a concertgoer and going back home after (if you're from the opposite side of the country) is a pain.
