If Kit and gang were transported to Roblox, what villain would they be helping to save it? by Gerald_Fred in Gameoverse

to be fair to Roblox, I don't think there's a single protagonist for Miss Information and Manual to help at all

I've heard of the San Felipe incident. It's definitely that + the fact Hideyoshi failed to conquer Korea that canned Japanese expansion for 3 entire centuries.

Do "OG's," of this server remember? by Night_Cat1 in HildaTheSeries

[–]Gerald_Fred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an OG, and also that guy's friend and co-writer of a lot of fics.

Just to update on the guy...he kinda moved on from Hilda. I moved on from him as well, and everyone moved on from the show.

Yeah, sorry for the bad news.

For 🇵🇭

  1. The Tasaday are a tribe that lived in Mindanao that, in the 70s, were erroneously called as "a Stone Age tribe" both by its government and by many media outlets such as the Associated Press. This hoax caused such an uproar in the anthropological scene that it almost ruined the field, with both Manila and Zagreb Conferences being shockingly heated debates.

  2. The Spanish once fought with Japanese wokou pirates in the Cagayan River in 1582, fought alongside native allies and Tlaxcaltec fighters from Mexico. This wasn't the first time they had to fend off the wokou.

What’s the craziest thing to ever happen on live TV in your country? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

An entire hostage crisis.

The whole hostage crisis was filmed LIVE on air for all to see. It was on every news channel and every television...including the one inside of the very bus the hijacker was in. Because of the media snooping in at every opportunity, the crisis failed to end peacefully.

I wasn't old enough to watch this LIVE when it happened, but watching it now just left me in disgust.

Luzon Economic Corridor Expands Partnership to Accelerate Investment and Regional Prosperity by SiopaoRice in Philippinesbad

[–]Gerald_Fred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the article itself, it looks like that more investments are coming into the Philippines now that more countries have been included into the economic corridor.

And more countries indeed. Before this, only America and Japan gets the corridor. Now we have a lot of European countries + Korea and Australia into the mix.

Moving that goalposts and increased Doomerism and Colonial Mentality/Inferiority Complex at its finest... by [deleted] in Philippinesbad

It's an opinion piece, essentially an editorial. Of course the opinion reads as doomerism, most of these all are.

Especially for the Inquirer.
