Props to r/phtravel!

  • Other subs should follow suit. Pero buti naman na di pa binabaha ng "Filipino food = bad, oily, unhealthy" yung mga food subs natin. Usually galing sa mga sexpat at digital nomad pag ganyan.

    R/Philippines is improving at least, I went there couple of times and there’s still dooming positing. BUT there are still many Redditors there are calling out their behavior and have a positive mindset and still have hope for the future

    Now i am thinking these doomists might just be Chinese psyops in action.. wearing my tinfoil hat.

    I don't think so. They are really just shitty people.

    Could be both. Because we all know Sara D has a troll army

    I know. But usually Sara's trolls don't usually post "walang pag asa ang Pilipinas" without overtly interjecting how better we were under Dut's administration.

    I hate that troll army.

    Useful idiots ika nila

    Meron sa phinvest sub, ginamit yung Potato Corner issue para i-bash mga Filipino-owned businesses tapos sobrang glaze sa mga negosyo ng Koreano at Instik

    Yeah, that sub that is obsessed with crypto bs. I hate how they bashed Filipino-owned businesses.

    Edit: Once again, I apologize, I'm still learning.

    Yeah, I'm still learning to let go.

    Basically, pagisipan muna ng mabuti yung comment before magpost ng comment

    I agree to this. Nasobrahan na yon pagiging self hating and doomer posting doon some people are finally waking up lol ngayon, ang kinaiinisan ko yon r/gigilako because doon lumalabas mga virtue signaling self-loathing Filipinos who take photos then say nagigil raw sa hindi nag CLAYGO tapos lalaitin na "nakakahiya" maging Pinoy lol

    o minsan taking photos of strangers without their consent to vent about them by posting on that sub (kahit iblur pa nila yon face or what, that doesn't give them the rights to do that)

    Same sa itaph ph pagdating sa escalator like....

    To be fair on the food subs almost all the time deleted yang ganyang post after a short time since very active yung mga mod doon alam nila na yung iba nagkakarma farm lang and isn't really looking for a meaningful discussion.

    Maybe they make an announcement rin and ilagay explicitly sa rules like how r/phtravel does it (Rule 8 na ata nila yun)

    Buti naman. I visit food subs to find something to crave on, hindi magbasa ng racist sexpat or nomad or doomer rant kung bakit ang pangit ng pagkaing Pinoy tas ikukumpara sa Thai at Viet food.

  • Inb4 they'll make their own subreddit so they can continue doomposting

    Finally a worthy rival to this sub lmaoo

  • Buti naman. Di nakakatulong yung mga post na sobrang negative. Mas lalo lang nila pinapalala ang pangit nang sitwasyon. Pwedeng magkaroon ng maayos na diskusyon sa problema ng turismo nang hindi minamaliit ang Pilipinas. Walang naitutulong yung defeatist at self-hating mindset.

    Actually, I have went to R/Philippines couple of times. There is a improvement at least, there’s still dooming positing. BUT there are still many Redditors there are calling out their behavior and have a positive mindset and still have hope for the future!

    Nasobrahan na ng negativity yon subreddit na yon, it was finally countered lol unfortunately it's not the same case with other new subs

    Ph sub has been improving steadily over the years. You should have seen the sub 10 years ago: "Toxic Filipino" topics every few posts.

    One thing I do miss though are redditors posting photos of places in the Philippines once in a while

    And kung may pake sila sa Filipino tourism, they would sit down and discuss this properly ano ba mga kailangan iimprove. Hindi yon "nakakahiya maging Pilipino" "Mas okay lumipad sa ibang bansa"

    Stop yapping your colonial mentality shit and start offering ideas and solutions if you do want to improve our tourism here.

  • Lmao likely na trigger neto idk if nakikita pa

    Mas malala magkalat ang ibang lahi e. Have they seen Aussies in Bali? Ang babaho at makalat on a higher level than us.

    Alam mo best bit, before ma delete nasama sa post may nag comment 4th world country daw tayo amp

    Yes, yan ang final straw lol. Removed that before posting the new rule, which I was already implementing somewhat. Just wanted to make it official.

    tbf, the comments on that post is a bit better, calling out why would anyone bring durian to another country so the story could be fake.

    The post is gone, what was it about?

    Repost from facebook about Filipinos in taiwan bringing Durian letting it drip onto the airport floor.

    Comments were calling out OP since bringing fresh fruit in and out of Taiwan is impossible, not to mention it wouldn't be in a container that would drip otherwise everyone would be able to smell it.

    Someone also commented that Durian doesn't necessarily drip since the husk prevents juice from coming out, so the post could be fake.

    Of course there were still some reactionary comments but didnt get much upvotes.

    Lmao they made the effort to craft this story just to shit talk Filipinos. Fucking pathetic.

    Hating on people for dumbest reasons is just loser behavior.

    Jesus even the comments reek of philippinesbad hahaha it's insane

  • If mods don’t step in, PH subs will begin to look the same. Minsan may na-post sa r/phhorrorstories about corruption in politics kesyo nakakatakot daw.

    Nagbasa ako ng horror stories para matakot, hindi mabwisit -_-

    Filipinos trying not to insert politics into every topic challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

    Some Filipino doomers have colonial & crab mentality. They really need to touch grass.

    Severe lack of comprehension na yan

  • Tingnan natin baka may mga redditors na magrereklamo doon sa main sub at sa chikaph na heto ang sinasabi natin about their fave echochambers.

    Walang pinagbago ang sub na yun.

    r/ChikaPH, you mean the sub for lower life forms?

    Yeah, the sub that actually ruined people's lives with death threats. That sub is so awful that I muted it. Also, it contributed to people's suicide.

  • Rare win but that's how it should be. PH travel sub should be about tips and experiences on traveling without pulling fellow Filipinos down or not doing self racism shit.

    Ibang members sa sub na yon, naka abroad akala mo superior na. May nalalaman pang "nakakahiya maging Pilipino" sa abroad pero hindi nahihiya sa mga ninuno natin na ikinahihiyan kung saan tayo galing. Then again this is a tale as old as time seeing this cycle being repeated these matapobreng Millenials sharing the same sentiments as matapobreng Boomers back in the 90s who forces their kids to speak in English instead of embracing the Filipino language or discouraging their Millenial kids to watch and interact with local media

  • I'm glad PHTravel & rPH are improving. I'm glad that most Redditors are calling out their toxic behavior, while having hope for the future & positive mindset.

    Hope the same can be done with FB and TikTok..

    Late comment, but I agree. People should call out those doomers' behavior.

  • R/Philippines is improving at least, I went there couple of times and there’s still dooming positing. BUT there are still many Redditors there are calling out their behavior and have a positive mindset and still have hope for the future

    This, we gotta shame the doomposting at dapat ma destigmatize ang mental health, also iwasan dapat ang ablelist attitudes.

    Yeah, let's destigmatize mental health.

    I’ll believe it when the “hirap mo mahalin pilipinas”, “worst in za warudo” titled posts are gone.

  • The subreddit has gained an ally 👀

  • I think this was in response to Pinoy tourists who let their durian drip to the airport floor. Then the OP of that post was fuming at the fact Pinoy sila.

  • Parang naging moderate narin yung labas nila lmao. Noon go lang ng go basta maka labas ka ng Pinas, ngayon nagpapayo na mahirap pala sa labas at mabuti naman ang Pinas kung nakasikap ka.

    Narealize din nila na ang big countries eh mahina ang economy ngayon. Dati puro hype sa Canada diyan e, ngayon they actually tell the truth that Canadian winters and cold is unforgiving.

    Haha pano mga nahimasmasan. Panay hype ng migrate at pag aabroad. Syempre kasi nood nang nood ng mga OFW na ala motivational speaker na puro mabulaklak na vlogs at salita para maconvince kang mag abroad din. Ginagawa nila yan para magkaroon ng inggit mga nasa pinas para "sana ol mayaman na kasi nag abroad bilang tagahugas ng imburnal na exploited at sinisigaw sigawan at mas mababa pa sa minimum wage ang pasahod pero mukhang malaki kasi converted sa peso" eh kaso nung sila miamo nakapag abroad? Ayun sinampal ng katotohanan na hindi rainbows at unicorns ang abroad. May rason bakit mismong mga locals doon ay hindi tinatanggap ang mga trabaho na yun na inaalok sa mga gullible pinoys.

    They should've known already by now being an OFW is not a walk at a park and it requires a lot of sacrafices tulad mga documentaries and media showing the reality of it. Etong mga doomers na malala ang crab mentality ayaw pa rin maniwala and they are underestimating the real experiences from being an OFW.

    Totoo naman may magandang opportunities sa abroad. The problem is these doomers keep glamourizing being an immigrant in another country and kailangan isiksik na PH is the worst. My friend who is planning to migrate to work in Taiwan, thankfully hindi siya yon doomer mag isip na walang future dito. He just wants to experience a new work environment kasi toxic na raw pamilya niya and he liked the job offers he saw in Taiwan but I never heard him saying "bulok dito sa Pilipinas walang pag asa"

    Meron immigration crisis sa Europa, taas ang inflation, at grabe ang polarization nila.... hirap mag gasto sa kailangan kase mahal na ang presyo...

    Cheem my guy, naa nata sa interesting times bro.

    Sinampal lang talaga sila ng realidad being an OFW is not a walk on the park. Classic "reality doesn't align my ideals" moment. Naalala ko I've watched so many documentaries from OFWs and Filipino immigrants warning fellow Filipinos you need to sacrafice a lot if you work at another country.

    Totoo naman, may times na maganda ang opportunity sa ibang bansa like my friends who are working abroad pero may kapalit rin yan which is you need to adjust their culture, understand their economy, being a second class citizen, experiencing racism, and huge adjusments.

    Etong mga doomers na 'toh, puro "mas maganda buhay sa abroad" while underestimating the real experiences from OFW who went through hardships. Either hindi naman natutuloy yon pag mimigrate nila and they are just all yapping or natuloy nga pero iba sa kanila nasampal ng realidad because the promise they heard from other people about working abroad is not what they thought

    Ironically nagdidiscourage na sila magmigrate ngayon dahil baka mawalan kasi sila trabaho lol

    Marami pa rin, pero pa-minsan minsan na lang 'yung posts. Recently, may posts tungkol sa pagreretire sa Pilipinas at rant ng isang Pinoy na 6 months pa lang sa host country niya. Marami pa ring kupal at kumag sa r/phmigrate.

  • Time to also call out r/gigilako for taking unconsented photos of strangers (kahit blurred pa yan) then ipapahiya sa reddit instead of confronting them. O minsan, one-sided yon kwento

  • Is r/filipinotravel also full of doomerism? Maybe they need to do something similar.

    TIL may isa pang sub for travelling
