looking for PH movies or TV series (or even animation kung meron lol) that feature fictional politicians or government officials. (I know there's real-life ones depicted in our movies but ibang usapan na yon for now yung mga explicitly fictional at least in names, even if heavily based on real-life ones but at least binago yung pangalan so I'm not looking muna for Emilio Aguinaldos & Marcos Srs. in film for this one. unless siguro borderline-legendary).

setting or time period can be any time in PH history whether it's presidents, congressmen or senators or govs., mayors & even brgy. capts. today, or assemblymen & municipal presidentes in the American era or even gobernadorcillos or capitan municipales & cabeza de brgys. in the Spanish era. ruling from anywhere in PH. executive or legislative or civil service or independent commissions (kahit nga siguro judiciary but separate class na rin yon). any morality whether good or bad, corrupt or not-so-corrupt (even reformists & honest ones kung meron man lol).

(ewan ko if datus & sultans & precolonial leaders count, as well as Spanish & American colonial officials & even the heads of Chinese communities, but that can be separate classes na rin but welcome na rin dito I guess, just identify them as such) thanks po

sobrang lala na yung baha dun sa Buendia/SLEX & I'm sure iba pang bahagi ng Makati para bang walang natutunan yung mga nakaupo since last year.

tho yung mga rally last year eh parang "generic" & mostly nasa People Power monument o sa bandang Luneta. what if ngayon city by city (tapos Makati na isa dun).

either way ingat sa baha though.

hi & thanks for having me on this.

I'm trying to research what specifically Spanish fashions were like in the late 1800s.
because I'm from the Philippines & taking interest in the late Spanish colonial era for stories or art possibly.

I know this sub probably puts priority on Victorian-era Anglo-American (UK/US and British Empire settler states like Canada & Australia) cultures, and thus fashions, but is anyone here a expert on Spanish fashions in the same era? (and I guess immediate neighbours like Portugal, France & generally southwestern Europe or just continental Europe in general, as well as maybe Spanish-influenced Western fashions in Mexico & the most Hispanicised/Westernised parts of Latin America also works)

were there any significant differences or distinctly Spanish flourishes on general Western men's suits & women's dresses in this time, or did it look generally the same anyway? if there was differences what might these look like, in cut, colour, pattern, style etc.?

thanks guys

hi thanks for having me here.

kinda new to watching it but ... isip ko one reason football isn't growing here as much as it should is our misconceptions of the sport. a big one is most of us Pinoys think the big field is required to play it in.

but ... lack of a big field never stopped generations of Latino, African, Arab/West Asian & Southeast Asian kids from kicking footballs in the streets though. (tho many of their countries do have big fields not far off in the cities, but point is they don't need the fields when just starting out).

just get two beer or gin bottles, timba or lata, bollards or even just rocks or draw a literal chalk line on the ground for the goalposts & then try to kick the balls through there or defend from them. hell it technically requires even slightly less equipment than street basketball which still needs at least a ring or some target high on a tree or wall to shoot at. and knowing there's things like futsal / indoor football that works with smaller spaces even inside malls eh that's also lower barrier to entry.

maybe while we're still building & opening up more big fields would it make sense to just go all-out aggressive in promoting "football para sa masa" or "kanto football" with players & coaches demonstrating it in urban barangay streets, in Metro Manila slum areas or really any PH towns & cities etc. ... unless we're already doing this? more power if so hope it helps grow the sport.

hyper-local as in down to brgy. level (or mga magkalapit na brgy.) and of course I guess Makati-specific.

type of event can involve dinners or coffee shop afternoons (or mornings), group runs, creative events like sketchings or paintings or even just journalling or writing stuff together, or things like movie showings, concerts / gigs / shows, or even groups that would like to travel basta taga-Makati or even taga-same couple of brgys. lang, etc.

(ako I'm particular to creative events. maybe also runs.)

events can also be welcoming or even tailored to personality types, neurotypes (e.g. ADHD / autism / neurodivergent-friendly), etc.

tingin nyo?

if you're interested gawa na ba ng Discord server or TG group chat maybe? or meron na ba?

thanks guys

I know it's an epic & it probably isn't trying to go for strict historical accuracy, but was Balagtas educated enough to have a specific era in mind--down to at least the decade, or at the very least the half-century or even century? all I can guess of it is it's set somewhere sa High or Late Middle Ages or something.

and if it can be pinned down to a specific time period in the Balkans, Greece, Byzantine Empire, southeastern Europe, Persia/Iran, etc., then has anyone attempted to make the costumes & sets (stage, screen, komiks or art) anywhere near reasonably, historically accurate to the best of their abilities? has anyone ever come close? what would they look like if someone tried to?
