An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV is reportedly setting his sights on running for mayor of Caloocan in 2025, setting himself up for a faceoff with the Malapitan family that has ruled the city for over a decade.

An Iskooper told Politiko that Trillanes has started making the rounds of communities in Caloocan to listen to people’s concerns and touch base with local leaders.

Now that's a career trajectory I wasn't expecting. Maybe he's seen the writing on the wall that the masses don't want him as a legislator anymore.

But I'm rooting for him simply because we need to tear down dynasties.

Why Caloocan tho? ‌I'd understand kung taga-roon talaga siya, but even then, local politics is a very different beast than national politics, so I am not sure he'd easily make the jump.

I am not excusing political dynasties, but fighting them in the political arena is a very difficult battle. He must be very prepared for it, and be willing to have more than one go at it.

Maybe that's what the Magdalo intel told him, lmao.

Nako sana matalo na mga Malapitan. I'm fucking tired of them. Corrupt to the bone yang buong pamilya na yan
