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.

I find it hard to believe that it's the same guys being charged. Either they suck at laying low and keeping their hands off the cookie jar or they're just terrible when it comes to protecting themselves.

Some of them have a giant ego, like Revilla relying entirely on stardom -- and falsely equating attractiveness with high moral perch -- to increase their chances of getting out of jail (again).
