A fediverse 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.

This whole crack down on the Dutertes is just railroading of political enemies. They're not going to go after corruption among their ranks like Romualdez and now Enrile. This is one thing that idiot attention whore Barzaga is correct at.
It's no different from when the elder Duterte was in power and set his sights on Aquino, Leni, De Lima, Trillanes, et. al. Or Noynoy going after Arroyo while shielding his allies from persecution during the PDAF Scandal.
In any developing country politicians are no more different from their autocratic tribal forebears, as Machiavelli observes so how the princely houses make war with each other, either legal means or by violence.
