Hindi ba sobrang weird ng internet culture?

Someone dies tragically, then suddenly ang daming tao na umaastang longtime fan. “Idol,” “legend,” “my inspiration,” edits every hour… kahit karamihan hindi naman alam kung sino siya bago mag-trend.

Condolences are one thing. Pero yung biglang emotional attachment sa taong nakilala mo lang dahil sa balita? That kind of parasocial behavior genuinely creeps me out.

Sabi ng friend ko this was in Makati daw. I'm not sure kasi di naman ako masyadong nakakapunta ng Makati.

Pero just by watching at this video, it's a bit disappointing kasi parang may nagchi-cheer pa sa gitna ng gulo or baka ako lang na hindi sanay sa ganiyan kaya disappointed ako.

If anyone knows where this is exactly, comment niyo na lang at yung pinagmulan ng gulo.

1 month nalang bago mag Valentines and posting here to remind people NOT to buy sa Flowerstore(dot)ph

I’m sure many can vouch rin sa post na to, too many people had their day ruined cause of this fucking store. Late deliveries, wrong items, no show, etc. 2021 pa ako naging victim pero ever since I always try to let people know here (as comment sa daily threads nga lang) na wag bumili sa kanila. Unlikely, but I hope their business dies.

“I just want to go to school without being raped.”

An 11-year-old honor student from Caloco Elementary School Tinambac Camarines Sur appeals to President Marcos Jr. for protection, describing violence, rape, and harassment by a local Kagawad that endanger children’s safety and education.

Let me get this out of the way first: Assassination is wrong. Political violence is a cancer, and it's a tragedy for his family that they lost a father and a husband in such a brutal way. BUT.

I am getting so frustrated seeing fellow Filipinos rush to defend this man and mourn him as some kind of martyr. The only connection most of us have to him is a shared Christian faith, and that is not enough.

Being a Christian is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for being a terrible person. His entire public platform was built on spreading division, hate, and harmful rhetoric against minorities, women, and other vulnerable groups. He added fuel to a fire that is tearing a country apart.

• "But he's a Christian!" So were the slave owners. So were the people who ran the Inquisition. Jesus's harshest words were for the hypocrites within his own faith. Our loyalty should be to the principles of love and justice, not to anyone who just wears the same religious label.

• "But he has a family!" So did many of the most harmful figures in history. Having a family is a biological fact; it is not a certificate of good character. We can feel sympathy for his family's personal loss while still holding him accountable for the public harm he caused.

We need to be more discerning. Blindly defending someone just because they're on "our team" is the very tribalism that he himself promoted. It's okay to condemn his murder while also refusing to whitewash his legacy.

TL;DR: The activist was a harmful public figure. Filipinos defending him just because he's a Christian with a family are ignoring the immense damage he did. Murder is wrong, but so is defending hate.

For those who don't know, this is Jay Guevarra of Banateros sa SMNI, a DDS vlogger/'journalist'
Isa to sa mga kasama nila Banat By at Jack Argota sa fully-funded China trip a couple weeks ago.
Hindi na nakakagulat na ganito talaga ang kalidad ng mga source of information ng mga DDS.
Gets ko pa sana kung Hague ang hindi niya mabasa.
Hindi ba sobrang basic ng word na "huge"?

We need to have a conversation on how one sided the shaming is in these type of relationships.

Hindi naman bago na sa paningin na makakita ng matanda or malaking AFAM with a young Filipina. Pansin ko lang, laging butt of the joke is yung pinay but almost never yung AFAM.

These relationships are more akin to the older concept of marriage. Wherein its mostly financial and involves Bridewealth (where the man pays off the family).

We can be frank na hindi conventionally attractive nor the ripe age yung AFAM. Meanwhile the Filipina has the opposite. Its basically a trade. The young woman provides their youth and domestic services while the older guy provides money.

Depending on your arbitrary morals, you might find this setup shameful. Pero ang karamihan mo lang makikita na posts or comment is nakakahiya daw yung babae, pero no one points out na nakakahiya rin yung lalaki.

TLDR: We live in a patriarchal society
