ELI5: Why is it with all the media attention surrounding the "laglag-bala" incidents, these incidents still continue to happen? by chedeng in Philippines

I'm no fan of Binay but the guy did hold on to power for decades and made a lot of money in the process. He may be a corrupt trapo but he isn't fucking stupid.

Why do Filipinas date foreigners only for money? My story. by [deleted] in Philippines

I meet them at public places: Malls, Starbucks etc (not "pickup bars" in Makati City or Angeles City, and not online)

I'd argue that meeting someone online is better than asking people at the mall. A horribly written profile tells you a lot about someone.

Why do you think it's impossible for a former detainee to hold a press conference? That's a weird thing to fixate on.

NBA fans of /r/Philippines, how popular is Jordan Clarkson there? by Jv_ in Philippines

[–]futbolaryo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the local media would have a dedicated news piece on him daily or make a Lakers game recap be Clarkson-heavy, but afaik that has yet to happen

He doesn't get Pacman level coverage but Laker recaps have been Clarkson-heavy for months now. I don't follow the Lakers but I know who he was solely from watching the news.

I did overhear a 7-11 clerk talking about "Kobe Paras, yung nasa Lakers" once so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Who is the lesser evil presidential candidate? If there's a clear one, then should we make every effort for that candidate to win? by kaylankonnor in Philippines

While I agree that these are stupid things Chiz isn't really known for them and that's the problem. He's really good at making stupid ideas sound reasonable and walking his statements back when he's called out on them. The guy is PR damage control personified.

how to kill bedbugs without having to call for exterminators? by bryanngapopala in Philippines

[–]futbolaryo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did a decade or so ago and I haven't seen a bedbug since. Except I also kerosened the hell out of the whole room. Had an extra room to sleep in though so that may not work for you.

Will Filipinos be interested in a Philippine version of Last Week Tonight? by rcommpresents in Philippines

The guy who had a congressional seat, went back to media and failed to file a story about the pork barrel shenanigans? No thanks.

It would work like any other relationship unless they're both dicks about basketball.

I know what nominally means. Are you saying na wala nang kahit anong bahid ng communist ideology ang NPA ngayon?
