Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


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.

Parang si Armando Malite, inventor of the armalite. ROTFLMAO!

But the pinoy inventor of WiFi (Wilhemyo Filisterio) unearthed a better easter egg: a Hollywood actress was the person behind WiFi, bluetooth, and GPS.

The Tasaday was still being taught to us in grade school despite being exposed as a hoax several years before.

Also, I was going through my old test papers and some of my answers in GRMC were marked wrong even if it's correct.
