this is not "petty." this is straight up being ELITIST. matapobre ka john, matapobre. high-end phones are priced at impossible cost for a lower income filipinos. IT IS HARD to get a high-end phone. i hope you dont experience poverty dahil mukhang hindi mo kakayanin.
hay to all filo k-pop stans out there, i hope you guys are watching the senate and impeachment trials as much as you watch your faves. tignan n’yo kung paano tayo tinatrato ng mga binoboto at iniluluklok natin sa puwesto.
everything is political, kahit sa k-pop. hindi lang ito tungkol sa idols or fanwars. politics affects our education, trabaho, healthcare, rights, at kinabukasan. you can stream your faves and still stay informed at the same time.
and don’t even start with, “eh kung walang concert dito ng faves ko, edi pupunta ako ng ibang bansa.” that’s not even the point. not everyone has the privilege to fly abroad, and people shouldn’t have to leave the country just to access opportunities or experiences. if artists and events keep skipping the philippines, maybe ask why. look at the bigger picture instead of brushing it off.
artists and tour organizers don’t just randomly skip countries. there are many factors they consider—taxes, logistics, venue availability, infrastructure, security, regulations, market conditions, and the overall business environment. government policies can influence those conditions, even if they’re not the only reason. so instead of acting like it’s completely unrelated to politics, maybe look at the bigger picture.
support your idols, but don’t stop paying attention to what’s happening in our country. being a k-pop stan and being politically aware can coexist. hold those in power accountable.
tandaan natin na ang bawat pisong ninanakaw sa kaban ng bayan ay katumbas ng batang hindi nakapag-aral, pasyenteng hindi nagamot, at pamilyang hindi nakaahon sa kahirapan.
ang korapsyon ay pagkitil sa kinabukasan ng sambayanan.
Interesting to see the very people defending Robin for using Google to understand what the hell is happening are the same ones who mocked Risa for using index cards to organize HER OWN thoughts and take HER OWN notes.
The jokes really write themselves.
currently rotating in a public hospital and the number of patients i've seen around patiently waiting for hours reminded me of this pivotal scene in SUNSHINE
healthcare is political. cinema is political.
please lang po kailangan aware tayong hindi dapat maging normal ang mababang sahod, mahal na bilihin, at kulang na serbisyo publiko. kapag nasanay tayong tiisin ang lahat ng ito, mas lalo lamang nagiging komportable ang mga dapat managot sa kanilang kapabayaan.
Everything is political.
Kahit yang pagfafangirl mo or ‘yung KPop, political ‘yan. ‘Yung pag-skip ng mga kpop groups/ solos sa Pinas ay hindi lang dahil trip nila or ayaw nila sa bansa.
