APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.
You guys should be held "accountable" ika nga with great power comes great irresponsibility.
We will not forget this, just please just do your job properly.
If we haven't voiced out or didn't go political this lift on discord ban will not happen.
The ban may be lifted but this does not excuse their gross negligence and haphazard decision making without proper process of understanding issues. I still want to work to bring light to the root of this issue and trying to reach out to Twitch and other communities affected. They do not understand the costs and damages they’ve dealt with their carelessness. We deserve better. Please still sign the petition so we can safe guard this from reoccurring in the future!
Apparently, CICC didn't know Discord is being used by people outside of gaming. Akala nila for gamers lang!
If this is true, then the government banned Discord without knowing all the facts! WTF.
Why are we paying taxes to people who don't know what they are doing?!
Just so you know Philippine Government if you do shutdown Discord, Reddit, Meta, without studying it's after effects the whole
"DIGITAL ECONOMY" on the Philippines will CRASH.
There are lot of freelancers, Virtual Assistants, etc. Who has jobs inside these platforms.
If they wont listen to us we’ll let them here us. If one story or one voice isn’t powerful enough remember theres millions of us here and even more abroad! Please sign and share. Even foreigners with Filipino remote workers are affected and that affects the economy too!
THIS DISCORD BAN IS HARMFUL TO FILIPINOS. I'm a single mom to an autistic child. I'm also an artist and voice actor in game development that relies on Discord for my livelihood. Please do help sign this petition so we can have our voices be heard!

Unfortunately, recent government statements and impending threats to restrict or ban major online platforms, including Reddit, Discord, and potentially Meta platforms which jeopardize the livelihoods of millions of Filipino remote workers, freelancers, and creative professionals. The digital sector supports a massive portion of our national workforce across IT, creative arts, and game development. A hasty, blanket restriction risks crippling these essential industries.
As a single mother raising a child with special needs, remote work is not just a convenience, it is my family’s lifeline. I rely on platforms like Discord daily for production pipelines, asset management, and real-time collaboration with global creative teams. Work from home setups allow parents, caregivers, and marginalized workers across the nation to earn a sustainable living while caring for our families. Encroaching on these tools severely disrupts our ability to work.
From the perspective of a parent working in game development, the root issue is not the communication tools themselves, but a fundamental gap in digital media literacy, mental health support, and parental oversight. Abruptly blocking communication channels does not solve online risks; it merely displaces them while inflicting massive collateral damage on law-abiding digital workers.
We call upon the Philippine Government to please reevaluate their position on this ban. I hope you can all help me sign this petition so we can facilitate proper dialogue and communication so that we can all understand this critical issue with proper nuance. That meets both the needs of safety and also does not encroach on the livelihoods of many Filipinos.
Update: they’ve already been made aware of the situation and are doing what they can on their end. Let’s not stay complacent though ! This petition would be stronger please also leave your comments if you can so I can reach out to other parties and figures too!
It’s confirmed. Discord has officially been banned in the Philippines.
Confirmed by CICC chief and expensive-scale-figures-displayer Renato “Aboy” Paraiso.
Ban will only be lifted if Discord establishes a local headquarters. Digital and online workers be damned!
I don't want to live in this country anymore....
it's filled with stupid people who just sits on their high and mighty chairs without thinking who they affect and ruin with their unnecessary decisions

Censorship, incompetence, corruption, can this shitty hell of a country do anything right?
Pax Silica data centers threatening to steal our resources, colonizers on our islands, impeachment na di nauunsad, flood control na wala pang nakukulong o nananagot
Putangina naman
Reminder when they banned tumblr of all sites because they thought it was a gambling site and directed people to gambling sites? Dyan palang halatang walang alam ang gobyerno sa tinatapakan nila, basta na lang ginawa para sa pogi points.
