Filipinos might have volatile tempers, but mass shootings just don't happen in the Philippines.
That’s why it’s so chilling that our first one happened today, carried out by two minors aged just 14 and 15.
It really makes you stop and think.
Has the internet brought a toxic global trend to our shores, or is something deeper breaking down in our own backyard?
this entire anti filipino discourse is a whole cia psyop and im telling you guys, you need to stop interacting with people who refuse to have healthy discussions and fighting xenophobia and racism by simultaneously being xenophobic and racist 🗿
A history lesson: The Philippines' Marching Band traditions were brought over in 1901 by a Black American, Walter Loving.
It was USA propaganda to demonstrate how colonization is good for Filipinos to become "civilized".
Nice thread but I should add that marching band traditions are way older than Walter Loving and his Philippine Constabulary Band.
Marching bands were introduced here by the Spanish. They often played at fiestas and prusisyons—religious occasions instead of martial display.
@RGC_AJK Your country has race problem so bad to the point that your being paranoid has seep into my people whose only dancing in good faith & meant no harm. And here we are still being so nice you cant even read a very racist remarks even if we disagree, bcoz that is not in our nature.
@akazukinchan2x Some of us would want to marry and have kids, it's just that we don't have time for that. Supposedly we have 8 hrs of work in a day but its really 9 hrs including unpaid lunchbreak. Factor in the commute, that would give us 4 hrs free waking time. Paano tayo makapaglandi nyan?
@Illustradas Our brand of misogyny here is even quite weird. We always place women in a mold on how she should act or what she should do (the Maria Clara image) but still trusted women in leadership roles, example is sa school kadalasan officers mga babae, also marami din managers na babae.
@mlcahhyphenella@colditioner Lol! Goes to show wala kang taste. How can you say that when we literally have the first SEA film debut in Cannes (by Lino Brocka), first SEA director to win in Cannes (Briliante Mendoza), and first SEA actress to win in Cannes (Jaclyn Jose). Mema lang no?
@JosephSomsel@juancarlosojano So are you saying that ordinary folks cannot be intellectual? You assume that there was a distinct intellectual class separate from ordinary folks, as though critical thinking belongs only to the confined elite. Intellectuals are not a detached social caste, it can be everybody.
