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.

I decided to check on my older, rarely-used IG alternate yesterday and was surprised to see that I made more posts there in such a short span (between 2016-mid 2018) than my main/current IG account. I probably made uploads thrice in a day. Maybe because I only had 3 followers there so I didn't care about audience fatigue or what others thought in general; I just wanted to document whatever happened to my day as frequently as I possibly can.
Quick observations:
I had a massive crush on Allison Harvard. A cursory Google search and looks like her decision to move here in the Philippines didn't pan out beyond a few hosting gigs here and there.
I took plenty of photos of anything that accidentally spelled "cunt" or "ass".
Every week, I have a screenshot of an unfortunate experience with either Uber or Grab. Now I know the reason why I conceived r/GrabShame.
Some of my posts would qualify as doxing as I would take covert snapshots of plates and faces of small inconveniences that I encounter whether it's someone cheating on the MRT queue by falling in line under women (while directly underneath the sign that says so) or cars/motorcycles blocking pedestrian lanes.
Sad na hindi ko nadiscover tong sub na to. Ahahah Magiging frequent poster din siguro ko dyan.
Sobrang badtrip kapag yung kasabay mo ayaw gumilid or umusog kapag sasakay ka na. Mas may courtesy pa mga nakakasabay sa jeep kesa sa grabshare.
Bumagal activity ng sub once the pandemic struck kaya nabaon na sa limot. But it had potential kahit na looking back medyo nagpopromote ako "brigading" haha. Kita kasi names and plates nung mga driver, and you're relying on what the OP is claiming.
I think my favorite post is when I used "Paloma Esmeria" as my name to get someone to pick me up kasi walang kumukuha kahit na ang daming Grab sa vicinity. Still didn't work, lmao.
