SocmedPH How do you fillipinos view korea?
I am a korean myself and I always liked philippines, cool country with a cool beach and foods.
As a country who helped us out while 1950 korean war I thought it was only right to thank them back.
But thesedays I heard pinoys don't like korea that much especially around X/social media and smth, and I kinda get why.
Most koreans don't exactly hate SEA ppl, koreans may feel unfamiliar to them but still a lot of people would treat them nicely.
But the weird shit goes around the internet.
Some koreans(not a majority but still there is some, can't deny) chew on SEA asians.
Fuckass youtube shorts youtubers always make dumb videos for cheap views and make a stupid conflict.
Sorry for that, SEA guys.
I was actually kind of worried about SEA-Korea relationship cuz in the internet the conflict was getting pretty much big. For us we can pretty much say not many people care that much about SEA/SEA conflict, and I wonder about you philiphines and SEA people.
How do you view korea?
+P.S I'm not sure what flair I'm supposed to use on this post so I used social media.

PoliticsPH Mga DDS, hindi ba kayo nahihiya sa sarili ninyo?
What have you become as people, as Filipinos?
First, you claim to be advocating for āgood governanceā āno corruptionā āmalinis na gobyernoā, but yet you tend to hate those people with the right credentials and good background. Kayo kayong naghahangad ng mabuting gobyerno ay kayo ring mga tao na madaling nagpapapaniwala sa tsismis at shared post, pero kahit meron nang malinaw na ebidensya na magdadawit at magpapatunay na sangkot sa kabi-kabilang pangungurakot at ilegal na gawain ang mga iniidolo ninyo biglang tahimik kayo. Wake up! Nilulugmok nyo lang ang Pilipinas pabagsak. This aināt about politics anymore.
Nang dahil sa panatisismo ninyo, nakalimutan nyo na atang Pilipino kayo. Tama nga naman, hindi kayo Pilipino. Mga DDS kayo. Salamat at maaga pa lang nagpakilala na kayo. Isipin mo, mismong dayuhan na umaapi sa atin ang pinapaboran ninyo. Dahil sinabi ng idolo nyo na ātroublemakerā tayo, ganun na rin agad ang kaisipan ninyo. Sayang naman ang iba sa inyo na nakapag-aral, bigla na lang kayong naging ganyan.
Noong panahon ni Ninoy, nanalo ang Pilipinas sa UNCLOS ruling. Pilipinas ang David at yung bully ang Goliath. Pero noon, kahit alam nating malaki ang kalaban at dehado tayo, NAGKAKAISA ang Pilipino na tumindig at ipaglaban ang ating inang bayan. Pero ngayon, ano? Sayang, sayang na sayang ang bayang ito na pinaglaban at pinagbuwis ng buhay ng ating mga bayani. Ngayon, kusang isinusuko at ibinibigay na lang. Yung mga taong tumutuligsa at tumitindig para sa bayan ay pinagtatawanan na lamang, pinupulitika at ginagawan ng fake news. Ngayon, mismong iilang mga Pilipino rin ang sumasamba sa dayuhang nagpapahirap sa atin.
Oo, maraming DDS. Mas marami sila sa social media. Meron silang ghost army dahil naaabuso nila ang makabagong teknolohiya. Pero naniniwala ako na mas marami pa ring Pilipino na mahal ang Pilipinas at gustong mapabuti ito kaysa sa kanser na DDS na yan.
Godbless the Philippines.

ShowbizPH Andrea Brillantes nag promote na ng online gambling.
Overdue na ata ang rent ni Andrea Brillantes, and probably marami na rin siyang bills na kailangang bayaran. š
Nakakalungkot lang makita na may mga artists na nagpo-promote ng online gambling, knowing na maraming tao ang nalululong dito. Hindi lang pera ang nawawala, pati peace of mind, relationships, at buong pamilya nadadamay.
Millions of lives have been affected by online gambling. Sana mas maging responsible ang mga taong may malaking platform sa pag-promote ng ganitong klaseng sugal, kasi hindi lahat ng nakakakita ng endorsements nila ay kayang kontrolin ang sarili nila. At the end of the day, hindi lang basta pera ang nakataya dito dahil may mga buhay at pamilyang pwedeng masira.

It is one thing to have integrity and competence as senator, another more important aspect is to WIN.
Right now, Cielo Magno does not have enough votes to secure a seat, but waves can change in a matter of months. It is really up to us, not just to vote, to make this happen. She needs to reach the grassroots level, the masa, to win.
Wala sa socmed ang laban, nasa kalsada at mga komunidad. Marami pa tayong oras. G! Pinklavarn activate!! šø
Isama na rin natin Atty Chel Diokno sa laban! Sana madagdagan pa ang mga tatakbong senador na may kasing husay at integridad tulad nila. Sino-sino pa kaya ang susunod sa yapak?

NaturePH Kaya ba tayo binabaha?
Iāve always thought this reclamation is by the government but i didnāt realize it just from SM building another commercial area? When will SM stop from building too many malls they are so greedy!!!!
This is a major concern in waterways.
Changing where floodwater escapes
Metro Manila's rivers and drainage channels ultimately discharge toward Manila Bay. Reclamation can alter these outlets, particularly if new structures constrict channels or change tidal flows.
Slower drainage during high tide
When the sea level is high, rainwater already struggles to drain out. Poorly designed reclamation can further increase this bottleneck, potentially pushing water back into low-lying communities.
Changing coastal water movement
Reclaimed land can alter currents, sediment movement, and local water levels. The impacts depend on the project's shape, location, and engineering.
