Posted by mods r/Philippinesbad banner and logo competition starts now.

12 Upvotes

Hello there r/Philippinesbad

The logo and banner competition will now start.

When this subreddit was created two years ago it stayed with its old logo and banner which is an ironic way of presenting the sub like "The worst place to live" banner that is very outdated, now we're giving the users an opportunity to make their own banner and logo for this subreddit that would fit this sub more.

Here are the rules:

  1. Has to be on topic on what this sub stands for

That's it, really.

You can post your proposal in the comment section, and we will decide what would be the best fit.

The current logo is temporary.

These videos and comments just wants to get views and validations through Ragebaiting on looking down their local films and shows and judge them as inferior and called these repetitive and corny when in fact that does not define the local films and shows as a whole.

Even in other countries and including Western countries even Hollywood has TV Shows and Films that are repetitive and corny yet these Online Doomerists just give these countries a pass.

To OOPs and Online Doomerists: You know what your freakin problem is, YOU’RE freakin practicing Halo and Horn effect through your stupid Doomerist Mindset and Colonial Mentality/Inferiority Complex equating local films and shows as inferior while equating foreign films and shows as superior. You can’t even admit that Filipino Films and Shows are completely diverse and not monolithic. What makes you think that local films and shows are bad is you ONLY cherry picked the very few ones and then make the judgement against the whole locally made films and shows as inferior.

What is WRONG with you, you dumb Online Doomerist Bastards who is suffering from Doomerism and Colonial Mentality/Inferiority Complex?!

Terminally online syndrome. That's STILL self hating. This is why r/AlignmentChartFills is very biased and infamous for exhibiting Halo and Horn Effect Biases in judging cuisines and even other aspects about the countries and cultures that leads to Circlejerking. It's driven by Western Centrism and Online Doomerism.

To OOPs, Western Centric Users and Online Doomerists: That shows that you blatantly have Horn effect against the local cuisine and Halo effect against other Asian cuisines and additionally for you Online Doomerists, you even Colonial Mentality/Inferiority Complex and you're compltely ignoring that even in these Asian cuisines, has wide range and variations of those dishes that varies from regions, households and even restaurants like many variations of Ramen, Pad Thai, Kimchi, Dumplings and such! You ignore that even Asian Cuisines has many dishes that aren't even spicy contrary to the narrative that judge Asian Cuisines like Thai for example as spicy when in reality, Thai Cuisine is very diverse! You also even ignore that Asian dishes within Asian cuisines has fatty and greasy dishes as well! Take Pecking Duck for example, Chinese Cuisine ALSO has that, that shows that Chinese Cuisine is NOT monolithic!

Every dishes in every cuisines has their own aesthetic styles and the fact every cuisines are not frozen in time, they are always evolving NON STOP.

You JUST want the local cuisine to match other Asian cuisines because of your STUPID portrayal of what Asian cuisines should like DRIVEN by your stupid Western Expectations and as for you Online Doomerists as well, driven by you stupid Doomerism. You just want to defend your biases and judgement by putting a shield and say uh duh I've been to many countries or I've been to the Philippines so many times, that's just a weak lazy argument. You're blatantly practicing Dunning Kruger Effect.

This is why AlignmentChartFills is very biased and very infamous for having Halo/Horn Effect judging which cuisine is the best and worst when in fact that no cuisine earns a medal or a trophy of being the best or worst because every cuisines has wide range of dishes that are contrary to narratives.

All of these unfair judgement against Filipino Cuisines and give invalid praise to other Asian Cuisines ALL driven by two things: Doomerism and Western Centrism.

Seriously AlignmentChartFills, OOPs, Western Centric Users and Online Doomerists, what is wrong with you?!

Why BOTHER comparing Local cuisine to the rest of Asian Cuisines ignoring the fact that both Filipino Cuisine and Asian Cuisines share similar ingredients, techniques and recipes due to centuries of Cultural Exchange driven by trade, migration and geography?!

1 billion IQ foreigner Once again, ANYONE are not immune to leave their trash, REGARDLESS of their Race or Nationality. That Western Centric Online Expat loves to scapegoat against Locals only but never the online expats and once online expats DO leave their trashes, they’ll always scapegoat against the locals.

It’s also that very same Online Expat who made a post in making binary of whether you want to see more of in the Philippines.

You know why?

Because you’ll gonna see that in the comment section, there is bunch of circlejerking through Halo and Horn Effect thinking driven by overarching Western Centrism that Bangkok is inherently superior and cheaper while Cebu is inferior and expensive and that this post is a lie. Exapts think that Bangkok is inherently simply because the they judge standards, quality and services in Bangkok through Western Lens therefore they call the city superior and cheaper. While in Cebu, the standards, quality and services that doesn’t align to Western Lens even for legitimate reasons, judge them as inferior and even overpriced. That’s a big double standard.

WTF is WRONG with you Online Western Centric Expat Bastards?!

Positivity Post PEZA sees record investment approvals this year

THE PHILIPPINE Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) will “definitely” set a new record for investment approvals this year, driven by an influx of investors shifting their operations to ecozones. 

“We have some more months to go, definitely, we will exceed (the record),” PEZA Director-General Tereso O. Panga told reporters on the sidelines of the 15th Arangkada Philippines Forum Friday.
At the end of September, investment approvals stood at P297.14 billion, nearing its P300-billion full-year target.
PEZA’s record was posted in 2012, when approvals hit P311 billion.

Mr. Panga said that at least P10 billion worth of investments are set for approval in the board meeting next week.
“We now see the trend that many of these companies are shifting production out of China,” Mr. Panga said.

In New Clark City, PEZA expects to sign three big-ticket projects involving semiconductors and hyperscale technologies.
“Three more big-ticket projects will be applied within the year, with each locator investing a minimum of P50 billion,” Mr. Panga told the forum.

He added that a Japanese electronics investor is considering a $1-billion expansion at the Laguna Technopark.

“They paid a courtesy visit to (Finance Secretary [Frederick D. Go,) and we accompanied them. It a big Japanese investor,” Mr. Panga said.
He also noted that several IT ecozone applications in Metro Manila await presidential proclamation.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. issued Administrative Order (AO) No. 45 in July, which directs the PEZA Board to accept, process and evaluate all applications for IT centers and parks in Metro Manila.

“As a result of that, we expect more GCCs (global capability centers) coming to the Philippines,” he said.

Mr. Panga noted that current IT park applications for ecozone status serve industries like tourism, food & beverage, and gaming software development.
Next year, PEZA expects investment approvals to come from electric vehicle transport and electronics.

“We are now diversifying. This is not your usual, assembly, testing and packaging. We’re going into high-tech,” he said.  — Beatriz Marie D. Cruz

Some people in the comments make good points. But they present it so nihilisticly that it's hard to take them seriously. Along with generalisations so biblically massive that it became the 8th deadly sin.

It should be BOTH!

First they clean up and THEN they spend time with family and friends doing karaoke.

This is why subs or groups that involves Expats should be permanently banned and terminated FOR GOOD.

Our Heroes fight for our freedom. If we just give up on our Country, we just put all of their sacrifices into waste.

Also, we are still stable despite of our chaotic government, so we do not need to start from scratch, we can simply fixed the system. It maybe be slow, but we can do it with enough faith and action, we can fix our country.

We are still lucky that we have freedom to criticize our government. Other countries doesn't have this privileged so we can still be Thankful that Philippines still have freedom of Speech despite of the chaotic government and divided people.

"Why is Filipino?" INB4 realizing it's Brazilians living in the Philippines who voted for Bolsonaro, NOT Filipinos

For context, may presidential elections ngayon sa Brazil and nanguna sa first round si Flávio Bolsonaro. Sa overseas voting center sa Manila, si Bolsonaro nga ang nanguna with just 33 votes. As usual, this typical X user tweeted this dumb take na Pilipino ang bumoto sa isang right-winger, just like 2022, when in fact, mga Brazilians lang na nakatira dito ang bumoto kay Bolsonaro.
