A fediverse 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.

Actually, I do hate that this government is addicted to remittances instead of further developing domestic industries.
Indeed. We can't survive on remittances and outsourcing alone. I feel like we skipped the line on Agriculture and jumped ahead to services. Our manufactuing is also still immature.
Tourism seems obvious but that cant happen until infrastructure is addressed. It can be difficult for locals, its a nightmare for tourists. Manila can't be much until traffic issies are addressed, so much lost prodictivity for locals, let along the entire city is often a barely moving parking lot.
None of that can be adressed until corruption is dealt with :).
