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.

Fuck that. I'm not an anti-theist and I'd happily defend religion against people who believe that the world would be a better place without it, but this shouldn't have happened. This was in no way worse than what Carlos Celdran did which was intended to offend and is not even in the same league. I maintain that there was nothing inherently offensive about the performance. If the offense here is that Pura Luka Vega dressed up as glammed up Jesus, then people are being way too sensitive about it.
