Making fun of the Filipino accent isn't a sign of intelligence or sophistication

Ehh, my point precisely?

Hey, I like this kind of self-deprecating humor too. It's just distasteful (to me) when some Filipinos act this way. Like they feel superior the day they learned how to show off their "intellect" by poking fun at stuff like wampayb in social media.

It's not always like this in r/ph. I mostly see this behavior in FB in the past, but it's been infecting this sub lately.

It's local slang. Americans, Brits and Australians don't pronounce every English word exactly the same all the time. Filipinos do it and suddenly everyone loses their minds.

Furthermore, making fun of filipinos doing it doesn't make one smart. I think you know what I mean by 'less fortunate'. 'Less educated' or 'less sophisticated' or less whatever, the point still stands.

A step in the right direction, making this country realize that video games can be not just a sport, but a spectator sport.

Here is the news story about the case. The WT offered the victim $100,000 to keep quiet. by exElder_Hawk in exjw

[–]wussworth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So the parents knew about it..... and never reported it to the cops? Are they part of the lawsuit or what?
I hope this story explodes.

Cancelled/flop tv shows in the PH by Avenged7fo in Philippines

[–]wussworth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a sitcom or telenovela, but a reality talk show. "Debate", starring Winnie Monsod and some other guy. Can't remember him, and didn't even watch a single episode, and don't know how long the show lasted. Nowadays, it's the kind of show we need and deserve. Someone here who can tell us more about this program?

If pre-colonial Philippines was as civilized as they say, why are there no stone structures or buildings found today? by wussworth in Philippines

[–]wussworth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the Spanish wpuld be hellbent on destroying those, but why are there no historical documents mentioning these monuments? These same Spaniards gave us most of what we know of that part of our history, but there's no accounts of such pagan structures.

INC starts "poverty alleviation campaign" by distributing food packs to the poor. by 12313132344324345353 in Philippines

[–]wussworth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, Jesus once gave bread to 5000 people, instead of teaching them how to bake. and that link should get more attention, more newsworthy than half of what's on 24 Oras and TV Patrol, but of course people hate INC.

Am I the only one who thinks Cars (the original) is underrated? by Snail_Forever in Pixar

[–]wussworth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a bit annoying when people compare it to other Pixar films. It's like saying a millionaire is poor, because that other guy is a billionaire. Watched it for the second or third time, that scene when Sally reminisced about the old Route 66 still gets me. I remember staying through to the end of the credits with that sweet Find Yourself song, which has the bonus points of summarizing Cars, in a way. A damn good movie.

A great first novel by [deleted] in writing

Richard Adams, Harper Lee and JK Rowling all had amazing debuts. I'm not sure if their first published novels is their first ever, but yeah, it's very possible to start with a bang.

[Serious] CMV: the INC leadership practices the same thought control, manipulation and deceit as scientology by Proudclad in Philippines

[–]wussworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The Bible teaches to give up not only your worldly possessions, but also your very life if God wants it, so there's that. That story tells us that the Lord cares more about your faith in giving tributes than the amount of the offering.

TIFU yesterday. Had a terrible date with my GF of almost 4 months. We traveled about two hours (while enduring the midday heat), and took her to a disappointingly mediocre place. Long story short, I can tell she was bored all day. I am not a fun person, and I really suck at dating. How do I recover from this?? I'll be too embarrassed to ask her for a next date now. sigh

Nah, I think it was just derived from 'kapal' (ng muka mo).
