doctors did not study an additional 5 years and spend millions of pesos on tuition fees for the government to be begging for volunteer doctors "para sa masa." lord knows they've already done the most for us. pay your doctors right and treat them well, the fuck.
anyway so the other day i learned that foreign domestic workers in sg have to take a pregnancy test every 6 months and they get deported if they're positive BUT GOOD JOB ON YOUR MIDDLE CLASS ECONOMIC MOBILITY THOUGH 😍🥰😘
I’d pick SG’s problems over the crazy levels of inequality in the rest of Southeast Asia… just comparing between PH and SG, a middle class person has a much higher likelihood to experience upward social mobility in sg… sg is boring and lame yes but life really is better here
our government had... 2 months... where they could have worked uninterrupted on a more reliable public transport system... but they just... put markers on the floors of train stations...
sorry i can't get behind the idea of """normalizing cosmetic surgery""" knowing that it's probably going to raise generations of kids who think their features are something to be fixed?!?!?!?!?! like i feel like i'm going crazy because everyone else is all for it?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
people who studied humanities and social sciences but can't empathize with the anger of marginalized sectors, how does it feel to have spent 4 years and hundreds of thousands of pesos on college and not have learned anything

Any open discussions about salary here in the Philippines is still quite taboo. But if it's been a while since your first paycheck, we're hoping you'd be more comfortable sharing past figures with us for this open database of first job salaries:
why are filipinos so proud of our seemingly innate ability to speak english as if english being so heavily ingrained in our educational system isn't a bad thing and as if english being the lingua franca of the country isn't shutting out a large chunk of our population
i've been thinking about how so much of the way history (and most other subjects, lbr) is taught reduces the topic to bite-sized factoids (like "who are gomburza") that are objectively wrong or right, but so little emphasis is given to actually understanding these things
ppl who are unhinged on public twt AND have private twt scare me... like... how much more bonkers could you possibly get........ do i want to know...::..........::;!;!,
no but last week k*k*mp*nks were accusing people of using the anti-matapobre "brand" to fuel their superiority complex and then this week we get this dumb "i think therefore i'm pink" tarp so sino nga ulit may superiority complex? 🤔🤨
sometimes there's this perception that people in other countries are so much more disciplined than filipinos and i feel like that's just patently false. like. more people have cut in front of me in line in singapore than they have in metro manila.
in light of all the mental health talk, don't just haphazardly post "i'm here if you need to talk." actually pay attention to people and reach out to them privately. "i'm here if you need to talk" only works if your presence is readily felt.
i vaguely remember someone telling me about how her filipina helper didn't want to go with them on a trip to the philippines or whatever and she had her deported like HA??????????????
imagine pushing the philippines as a tourist destination but also not doing anything to make sure traveling to the country is a pleasant experience. dumbfucks.

destigmatizing isn't normalization. unless we dismantle the kind of society that insists we MUST look a certain way, normalizing cosmetic surgery will only create more people who are unhappy with how they look.
Rant on Filipino BS-ery:
Why is "Nosebleed" or "Nawawalan ako ng hinga" such a common thing to say when someone starts speaking English? FFS it's been more than two damn decades and this is still a "cool" thing to say?
Get over it, there are other languages. It's not funny
always so wild to me that the most unsympathetic people can have the gall to pursue a career that is supposed to be all about helping and caring for people
it's funny * will use something as innocuous as a plate of carbonara or a family picture to question someone's authenticity, while also jumping through hoops to explain why supporting ntf-elcac or forming alliances w questionable ppl doesn't tarnish another's principles at all

Hot take pero yung mga tibak dito sa Pinas, walang innovation. In France, the unions there specifically targetted govt buildings by dumping manure. Sa South Korea, bus riders under govt busses decided to not charge fares as protest. Outdated na ginagawa ng mga tibak dito. Sad.
private car owners every time public transport is threatened:
private car owners every time HOV lane / banning single-passenger cars is proposed: E TANGINA AYUSIN MUNA KAYA NINYO ‘YUNG PUBLIC TRANSPORT ‘NO???

so because the statement does not apply to you, it must be an exaggeration? what's the point of pedantry here if not to brag about how easy you, a western-educated man with an italian surname, have it in the philippines? tell us something new!
(the whole candymag ordeal is terrible but i'm also in incredible pain bc of that convo w his sister!!! imagine being outed and the ppl who are supposed to care abt u care more abt what ppl think!!!)
Deleted all my post about that candidate Luke Espiritu.
ANTI-US po sya. Mapanuri po tayo sa mga stand at statements ng mga kandidato. Hindi po iyan ang stand ni VP Leni sa pakikipag ugnayan sa ibang bansa.

"yes i know sg exploits other countries but i'd rather be an exploitER than stand in solidarity with the exploitED" how is that a defense
some of you's politics align perfectly with leni's and that's great! some of you are willing to make a (hopefully minor) compromise to guarantee a win against ykw and that's also fine! but please remember it's a privilege to do, and ask others of, the latter! it's common sense!
san ba naman kasi nanggaling, kung hindi sa klasismo, yung ideya na "safe" ang bgc? diba nung isang buwan lang may mga kwento na niroofie sa may the fort strip ata? diba mangilan-ngilan din ang nabiktima (at hindi nabigyang-hustisya btw) ng drunk drivers diyan?
some of you would rather use walden bello's arrest as some kind of "gotcha" towards his supporters than show any kind of support for him or the call to decriminalize libel.
99% of straight relationships is like, a multi-talented girl who’s super smart and kind and looks like the literal goddess of love herself and an okay-looking dude who’s not the spawn of satan at least
like for real i always thought there was nothing wrong with my nose and then i kept seeing people whose noses i thought looked fine complain about their noses so i started wondering if MY nose was ugly this entire time?!??!?!?!?

"where people commonly air their thoughts" ur thoughts being "i have to defend this country even when i know people's grievances against it are valid" that's amazing
Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez and his wife, Leyte 4th District Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez, have formally endorsed the presidential bid of Bongbong Marcos.

you're a blue check incessantly bullying people who disagree with you and putting them on blast for your yesmen to feast on. i wouldn't call that a fair exchange.
also don't get financial advice from financial advisors who are very unsubtle about their expensive lifestyles... like idc if your monthly vacations are proof of what bring moneywise gets you. you're profiting off of our broken healthcare system and it's tactless.
what do you do when you're completely aware that you've been slacking off but you can't do better because you're freezing up because you're panicking about how you've been slacking off
