every now and then brazilians post about how similar we are culturally and i find it very sweet. i mean its probably the consequences of colonialism but i like that miles apart, we are family 🫂
i pretended to be Not Filipino when i was 13 to get my 1st comm ever bc the client stated ‘no asian artists’ for some reason. when they asked me where i was from, the 1st place that popped into my mind was dublin. so i had to pretend i was from ireland for a solid year
the philippines is a deeply superstitious nation!!
one of my favorite little things is: if you drop a fork, its an omen for a male visitor. if you drop a spoon, a female visitor! this is referenced in the film nocebo- before diana arrives, a spoon falls to the floor
Heyo! I wanna learn about your culture! Tell me something cool about your culture that you grew up with.
Can be food, dances, whatever you see fit!
I'll start. I'm Chilean, and one of the things I love sharing with people is our teatime called 'once' (eleven in spanish) 🫖🇨🇱
priv was not enough!! i need to express how much i deeply hate titibo tibo where people will see it!! i hate that song so goddamn bad that whenever its playing where i can hear it, it ruins my fucking day
"Can't say much for Filipino music though, especially there are a lot of Pinoy songs mocking the experiences of Filipino queer people through their lyrics. Which also made the streets harsher for us." and i oop---

i love u my irish cousins but i’m going to hijack this bc i need these guys in the philippines. southeast asian ghosts are not fucking around. baguio alone could power that show for months

oks na pota pati guard at mga aso't pusa sa daan tinanong ko na kasi sabi nila effective daw. Todo bantay pako sa rooftop. Nung bumalik ako sa unit may narinig akong away sa baba and ayun na nga. 😭😩😩😩 nakita ko na. Worth it puyat
in the philippines this feeling is called 'gigil'.. one of the things i find really cute about americans is there is no word for gigil over there so instead you guys say stuff like 'i will eat him like a ball of paper'
When you're a creator who is making a story, one of the most important tips to follow is "make a little guy". You really wanna create a dude who gives the people cuteness aggression. Make a man who people want to crumple like a piece of paper and shove in their mouth
Sana we'd preserve our local harp culture. My Lola says her hometown (Camalaniugan) was once famed for having the best harpists in Cagayan, but they all quit due to poverty. Sad how what was one of the most popular instruments here has almost disappeared in just two generations.
love is a constant state of cringe‼️ if it hasnt found you yet then with all then with all my heart, i truly hope it does soon, and if you already have it, i hope you allow yourself to be cringe around YOUR LOVE 🫵🏼‼️
grew up with a girl with the exact same energy as this person.. she was one of the tallest girls in our year and she only carried a handbag with gum, smokes, her wallet, her phone and a single pen. in year 10 she put a boy in a chokehold for calling me a slur
hi, do you guys remember baby kobe, the youngest coronavirus survivor in the philippines? he was diagnosed with covid 5 days after he was born

islamophobia runs so deep in the philippines that after weeks and weeks of seeing nothing but suffering in palestine, the first response i’m seeing from most folks is ‘but is this safe for us??? they’re muslims!! terrifying!!’
jesus would weep at the state of us !!
On Al Jazeera. Filipino-Palestians who fled Gaza say they’re struggling to settle in the Philippines. Nearly 60 of them are sheltering at a university in Manila, but the campus closes for the holidays. They’ve been advised to move, but they say they’ve got nowhere to go.
i’ll never understand the reductive readings of korra’s character.. she’s written as a teenager who’s never been challenged her whole life suddenly going through trial after trial and her growth through that is some of the best character development i’ve seen in ages
yeah….. idk if its bc im filipino but a big pile of shoes at the doorway is a good thought to me. everyone i love is at home and i hope they’re having a good time. i take off my shoes and i join them. isnt that nice
so we asians have to jump 948493 hoops to even get an interview for a CHANCE to visit a different country but some loser can just decide to travel with nothing but audacity and beadmaking stuff?
Begpackers are the bane of my existence. Every time I go to a major Asian city, I find these shameless Westerners begging for travel money. KL, Taipei, Seoul, etc. These ones outside Chatuchak Market, Bangkok. It's disgusting. Travel is a privilege, poverty is not a choice.
anime, western animated shows, you name it, a filipino studio has most likely worked on it because apparently no one can resist exploiting underpaid and overworked filipino animators
international folk: the president just signed the anti terrorism act into law. under the law, any expression can be taken as dissent and subject us to investigation or even arrest. some of us are going to start going dark, but keep your eye on us ok
everything about the philippine government makes me so fucking mad LMAOOO not a single brain cell shared among the entire rotten lot. moron after moron after fucking moron
DOTr Command and Control Operations Center chief Charlie Del Rosario encouraged the public to undergo a “paradigm shift” and use mass transportation instead of private vehicles to alleviate heavy vehicular traffic.

i dont want 7 revenue streams.. i dont want a side hustle.. i dont want the grind.. i just want to be a person. i want to work reasonable hours. i want to go home to my wife, cook us dinner and look at the stars
in paris 1908, a dog was rewarded with a steak for saving a child that fell into the seine. kids kept falling in, and the same dog kept saving them every time. it was found that the dog had learned that if it pushed a child into the lake and saved them, he could get a steak
just 10 years ago i couldnt have imagined this.. queer joy in film, tv, books, comics.. THE daytime show in the country without hesitation celebrating a young boy's journey and his supportive family.. i'm seeing a shift in the philippines in my lifetime
i saw a tweet from
@sheraincorrect
and i couldn't stop thinking about it.... i mean, come on,, if bow doesn't wingman (badly) for adora in s2 im gonna yeet..,

if you like the song then fine but you dont get to argue intent vs impact with me. sige the intent was ‘make cute song about my experience’ and the impact was homophobic relatives saying ‘if moira can stop being a tomboy for the right man then maybe you can do that too’
this was in like 2008-2010 btw!! standing up for gay Asians was really not something people did at my school 😭 she was white and aggressively straight and once said she hung out with us because we had ‘really good food and you guys make me look heaps taller’ 🥲
she was in detention regularly because she just straight up hated most of our teachers. even after she transferred schools she would regularly meet up with us at garden city and treat us to kfc chips.. I think about her often.. I hope life has been good to her
titibo tibo ka kasi may gitara ma instead of makeup wowwww cool mo naman bro ano pa? naglalaro ka basketball? ayyy gagoo oo tibo tibo tibo. fuck that song forever. i dont care

yeah i got the commission. it was someones gaiaonline avatar with their online wife. and this was before gaia introduced marriage and when zomg was still actively updating
girl walking behind me in cubao asked her boyfriend if he thought i was a man or a woman in a real nasty way so i stopped so she would walk into me :-) stepped on her foot too. hope that helped!

yes, beta lumity designs are adorable!! but i think its so funny how it feels like they would go from ‘i will fight you in the parking lot of a hungry jacks at 2 AM’ to ‘admitting you have a crush on me also means admitting i’m better than you’

pretty sure they were racist!! i remember in the thread people were calling them out and they just said they were sick of ‘anime style’ art 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
@JollibeeShang
the intent doesnt matter once her song was out there: people took her song and ran with it and suddenly my mom was asking me if moira could be a tomboy but still find a boyfriend then why couldnt i? and suddenly everyone felt like they had been handed a free pass to say tibo?
there's also not sweeping the floor at night, because you drive the good fortune out
when you point with your finger at night, you have to bite the tip of the finger you pointed with, just in case you pointed at something you couldnt see
theres lots!! its very cool
somewhere out there is a woman that graduated back when it was still called maryknoll blissfully unaware her throwaway chika update is doing the rounds on twitter dot com
filipinos: gets ko, super tangina talaga. please take the time you need, but don’t let this discourage you! we have 15 days until the law takes effect. make some noise, safeguard and sweep your social media, and keep each other safe!! sulong, wag patinag!!!

i don’t usually talk about this publicly but if you can avoid NCMH u should.. i came in a couple years ago as a “suicide risk” and for the nurse’s solution was to try to put me to sleep with a monster dose of quetiapine then confine me until someone from my family came to get me

OH I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK.. i was very careful to only post when it was late night for me and like early afternoon for ireland.. i had my stepdad help me keep track of the time difference. i was very committed to the subterfuge even at 13
spop nominated for an emmy > spop wins the emmy > dreamworks lets noelle do more shows > those shows also win emmys > noelle establishes her own company that hires lgbtq+ & poc > i am also hired, somehow > i pitch the slice of life spinoff > it's made > we eradicate homophobia
my mom, a colorist woman!! was adamant about not watching because 'her ariel' was white. on the day i was gonna see the movie, she was watching the trailer and i guess she finally decided to go. she left the cinema googling halle and listening to her music on the way home 😭
Thank you to Disney fans in the Philippines for making this happen! 🧜
Disney's The Little Mermaid is the Biggest Movie of 2023 in the Philippines, making waves as the film with the biggest opening week and opening weekend this year!
how did u meet ur gf? — in college! first day of class, she sat in the front and away from everyone (on purpose) and seeing a pretty girl.. i sat next to her. she rolled her eyes at me & i hated her until i made her laugh 3 weeks later
catradora is so funny, someone will tweet a vague idea and go lol imagine catradora and in a day or two someone will post the exact thing, animated, storyboarded, rendered, printed in a zine, you name it. we all have rabies
idk.. this is actually one of the better written gl out there rn for me... the pacing feels very even and the storytelling feels intentional.. sure theres no big overarching plot atm but to say it has no story at all feels like a disservice to the work somehow..
i am very late to this. but if you can, please support hayop ka. this movie was literally in production for two years. we all fuckin hate robn padlla, but please dont devalue all the work put into this film, and please support the philippine animation industry.
you are so young!! in the most sincere, non patronizing way, you are so young! turning 30 won’t be the end of the world, no matter what everything around you seems to keep saying. you are so young! you have all the time in the world!
the way i had MASSIVE crushes on both of these women growing up and now they’re just vibing making coffee and shooting the shit like the older millennials that they are. good for them. made me gay. good for them
