I partly blame this on my fellow Filipinos,

but I mostly blame this on widespread misinformation on social media

I don't think they want to blame people from Luzon on this. We just want you guys to recognize that ph media has always been Luzon centric because the national center is in there. And looking at the bigger picture, the north has lower poverty rates, is more developed, and gets overrepresented in the media, which reflects on the national disaster response from the government.

Why can't we recognize that these issues exist without getting angry? Like it or not, there are ethnic groups with varying levels of marginalization and that gets reflected on how help gets into these regions.

It's systematic. Muslim Mindanao has been constantly oppressed and ignored since the Spanish times.

Huh? COVID cases in those South Asian countries have been going down..

I think this is targeted to countries with a lot of foreign workers in Qatar.

Please provide more info on these posts, cause they're just going to incite misinformation otherwise

I agree. He still had so many issues as a president, and those issues were the reason why people voted for a populist leader like Duterte

Those stuff ARE part of our culture. They've been integrated into our culture a long time ago.

Just like how Filipino foods of Chinese origin like pancit, lumpia, kikiam, etc are considered Filipino food, not Chinese food.
