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.
@_dacoconutnut tas ang aarte ng ibang kpop fans pag walang manila, hindi man lang nag-research kung ano talaga dahilan bakit walang manila. kaya kung kpop fan at bumoboto sa mga walang kwentang politicians, bakit pa magrereklamo lol
Alam niyo ba kung bakit napapadalas na ang pag-skip ng foreign acts sa Pinas kapag may tour sila? RED TAPE
Based sa kwento ng mga kakilala ko sa field, umaaray ang promoters sa 30% amusement tax sa Pinas (7% sa Thailand). In short, 70% na lang ng gross sales ang paghahatian nila at ng artists.
Hindi lang 'yun, grabe rin daw ang red tape sa mismong LGU. Yung isang city diyan sa NCR, grabe raw kung maningil ng pampadulas at may hiwalay na bayad din ultimo sa mga traffic enforcers na maga-assist sa paligid ng venues. In short, sa sobrang dami ng need bayaran di na lang sila pupunta dito.
Pax Silica isn’t being talked about enough, so im using my platform to create a thread and spread much-needed awareness. If you have a few minutes, please read through to stay informed, or check out related news articles to dive deeper.
mamulat, manindigan, at makialam. ✊🏻
what is Pax Silica, why should Filipinos pay attention, and why we should reject it?
I did my own research and tried to explain it in the simplest and easiest way to understand. if i missed anything, feel free to add credible sources or corrections.

u all just think it’s all rainbow and sunshine again by the mere mention of them hanging out w/ that guy. disregarding something a lot more serious that hurts so many ppl yesterday. why not use this energy to make [redacted] to own up to his mistakes
sa pilipinas, parang kasalanan pang mangarap ng libreng edukasyon, disenteng trabaho, maayos na serbisyong pangkalusugan, at gobyernong may pananagutan. samantalang, ang mga ito ay hindi luho—ito ang pinakamababang pamantayan ng isang makataong lipunan.
you can be a fan of someone and still be disappointed in things they've done, said, or engaged with. you are allowed to share that upset or frustration.
