Say, in the 800s AD, the *rajahs* got power hungry and managed to conquer the islands beyond Borneo. What would its cultural impact in Southeast Asia?

I have anger issues. Kahit na sa mga nangyayari years ago, kinakain pa rin ako (to the point I'm wanting to k*** someone) which makes me lose motivation to work out. Any tips from you my brothers?

I appreciate every response my brothers

Genuinely curious where it started. Marcos Sr. era? Or even before that?

It was Luzon who did all the work during the revolution, therefore we should have been "Republic of Luzon". What Emilio Aguinaldo negotiated with the Americans to keep the Visayas and Mindanao instead? Or maybe in the 1940s, Visayas and Mindanao were given the privilege to be their own countries?

And most of them are from the devilish and barbaric island of Mindanao and Central Visayas. We should be concerned that these animals are selling us out. Remember, there's no word for "values" and "principles" in their respective languages for they have no culture of it. These Bisayans only know 🍇, stealing, perversion, and k***ng. I will repeat this: THEY ARE NOT HUMAN. THEY ARE DEMONS LET LOOSE BY THE LORD OF HELL HIMSELF. It should be easy to see why the Chinese Satans use these animals against our own country, and the sooner we know this and enforce strict laws to force civilization on them, maybe we would have hope for this country. It started with Duterte, and maybe it will persist under another Duterte, and then come a few generations when this country will reduce to the Stone Age. I will say this again: BISAYA ARE NOT PEOPLE, THEY ARE DEMONS IN THIS COUNTRY. LET US CIVILIZE THEM.

Repost to r/ph if you're not yet banned there.

Like Bali, where Balinese Hinduism became distinct with Indian Hinduism because the former merged it with local animistic practices. What if similarly with ours, we also have a unique form of Hinduism mixed with our old Austronesian animistic beliefs or Anitoisms?

Culturally, fil-chi are quite close to Taiwan which can translate to potential cooperation.

Officially, the Philippines is more ideologically aligned with Taiwan ie democratic.

Downside of course is in the economic front, or is it? The Philippines imports more than it exports to China.

What would be the implications for the Philippines if it decides to switch? How would it affect other ASEAN members and the bigger international community?

Cebuanos are the most hostile, arrogant, entitled, and uncultured ethnic group in the entire Philippines, even more so than the Mindanaoans, as if they they themselves are the entire backbone of the Philippine economy. Suppose ipagtuloy na ihiwalay ang Cebu—and only, Cebu island, what do you think would happen?

There's something in the minds of Filipinos that makes them easily susceptible to corruption than any other country in Southeast Asia. Indonesia comes a close second but even that country has more improvements than this one. More susceptible to steal, lie, beg, laziness, and even perversion. Traits that the West has detested among South Asians, Middle Easterns and Sub-Saharan African seems to share with Filipinos. Do not deny it.

Now, with the European or East Asian mind, we would even have had more progress in 10 years than with do with Austronesian mindset. Those flood control infrastructures? They would have been built in the 1950s or 1960s. Inventions, innovations, global sensation—that would have been added to the Philippine name. Chinese harassment? They wouldn't dare. If we were majority of European or East Asian descent, we would be more intelligent and more communal.

This question is exclusively for pure Filipinos who dated Chinese women. And no, not Chinese-Filipino, I mean Chinese-Chinese whether from Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan. What was it like? Are they really overly dramatic as people say? Is it true na lagi kayong ina-out ng kanyang family? Is it true na matapobre ang kanyang parents sa iyo? Is it true that they overly racist to brown people like us? Is it also true na pinakain kayo ng ahas at ipis?

Decades of a native secretary, what happened? Scandal after scandal. This woman is a Harvard alumni for Christ's sake. Something which a native Filipino's brain could not easily fathom, let alone achieve.
