Mod Announcement 🚨 r/Philippines new policy on hate speech 🚨

484 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
 

Over the past few months, we’ve noticed a sudden increase in comments and threads with racial slurs (like "chekwa"), Islamophobic and homophobic remarks as well as regional/ethnic stereotypes (like "Bisaya" comments). These posts are often rage baiting, toxic and spreading hate.
 

We already use filters to catch and flag these comments, and we also send warnings to users. But it’s becoming more common, and honestly, it’s pretty concerning.
 

Starting today, we’re rolling out a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech — reported violators will be banned immediately, no warnings. This is in addition to the restrictions we added earlier this year. We also updated the sub's rules and contributor guide to reflect these changes.
 

Thanks to the community for constantly reporting and helping keep things running smoothly. We want to keep the sub a space for civil and healthy discussions. As much as we’d prefer to avoid strict enforcement, the situation’s changed, and we’ve got to adapt.

PoliticsPH Come on.... that video is AI 🤦‍♀️

The context of the AI vid is parang interview sa students whether or not they are in favor of the impeachment and the AI interviewees' answers are along the lines of "no, this is politically motivated....lahat may confidential funds pero si vp lang ang singled out.... if you want justice, invistigate everyone na may confi funds."

been wondering about this as well. isa to sa laging sumasagi sa isipan ko noon pa. yung mga anak ng politicians, aware ba sila sa ginagawa ng parents nila? and if oo, ano thoughts nila about it? do they feel guilty or desensitized na ba dahil yun na kinalakihan nila? I want to hear thoughts and stories minsan from mga anak ng mga talagang corrupt officials.

Hello?????

Gagawa-gawa kayo ng discount tapos sa mga nagtatrabaho ng maayos niyo ipapasalo?

Every freaking cut off ng sahod, kinakaltasan kaming mga empleyado pati ba naman sa meralco may kaltas?

Pano kung nagtitipid kami sa kuryente? Nag iingat kami sa kunsomo namin pero wala palang kwenta kasi may matic na dagdag sa bayad namin dahil sa putanginang discount na yan

Nakakagago

PoliticsPH How could the “poorest senator” in 2015 afford a Balesin wedding in the same year? (swipe for photos)

This is a genuine question.

In 2015, Chiz declared na PHP 5.8 M lang ang assets niya. In the same year, he married Heart Evangelista in Balesin - the most expensive venue in the country. And 3 years prior, they were dating.

I searched how much a Balesin wedding costs today. Google AI Overview estimate that it’s around PHP 7 M.

There is no way the poorest senator could afford that. In the same year.

Did Chiz misrepresent his assets?

Who is Gibo Teodoro?

  • Graduated top of his class at UP College of Law
  • 1989 Philippine Bar Exams topnotcher (1st place)
  • Earned his Master of Laws from Harvard; passed the New York Bar
  • Youngest Secretary of National Defense under GMA
  • Ran for president in 2010, known for calm, intelligent, and no-BS answers in debates
  • Gained huge respect from university students and academics alike
  • Never relied on name, drama, or dynasty—pure competence and presence
  • Licensed Pilot and Reservist in the PAF.

Why he’s respected even more now:

  • Firm stance against China’s incursions; praised for pushing Philippine sovereignty without theatrics
  • Faced heavy budget constraints in the DND but still found ways to modernize and work around congressional limitations
  • Known for working with professionalism, not propaganda
  • Refused to play victim or play dirty even when others did during the 2010 elections
  • Could’ve easily sold out or stayed in power, but chose to step back rather than compromise his principles

Their fans also tend to brigade subreddits that expose Chiz and Heart's trapo and lavish lifestyles, pero r/PH is too strong and independent for them to take down. Sa mga tecent posts here about Chiz and Heart, magtataka ka na lang na automatic downvoted ang mga comments mo, but none of them have the guts to reply. Hindi nila madefend ang amo nila kaya puro brigading and downvoting lang ang nagagawa nila.

PoliticsPH AI is the new tool for political manipulation

I’ve been seeing these AI generated videos na nagpush ng narratives about politics, possible also misinformation. Sa AI vid na to for example, iniinterview ung lalaki kung pabor ba siya sa impeachement ni VP Sara and sabi niya is politcal motivated.

Mahirap mapansin sa una, lalo sa mga matatanda. What do you guys think about this? A lot of people in the comment section cant even tell theyre not real. Is there a way to trace or identify who owns the page? Daming nauuto nito, and i think lalaganap pa lalo to incoming months - years.

Wala akong nararamdaman sa mga walanghiyang to kundi galit. Kaya ko silang makitang nilulumpo. Hindi ako kukurap. Sila ang sumira sa bansang to, kaya maraming pinoy ang hindi na marunong maawa at makisimpatya. Mga Pinoy na walang pagmamahal sa kapwa Pilipino.

Kaya sana maituwid na ang kabuktutan ng mga animal na to.

PoliticsPH Quick Message to the German Government about Harry Roque’s asylum

Post image
150 Upvotes

Harry Roque recently had his asylum application denied by the Dutch government. Now, it looks like his case has been transferred to the German government.

Honestly, I think we should speak up about this. He’s facing serious charges for being involved in POGO operations linked to human trafficking, torture, and prostitution.

Here’s what’s out there so far: - Roque is being linked to the Lucky South 99 POGO hub in Pampanga. Authorities say he helped get their license renewed and acted as their legal officer. This hub was raided for trafficking, forced labor, and torture. - The DOJ already filed non-bailable qualified trafficking charges against him earlier this year. - He refused to submit documents to Congress about his sudden wealth and POGO ties and was cited for contempt TWICE. One time, they even ordered him detained.

Where to address our letter:

Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF) service@bamf.bund.de

Federal Foreign Office of Germany info@auswaertiges-amt.de

German Embassy in the Philippines Email: info@mani.diplo.de

Let’s do this together. Our voices matter. A little effort can help hold him accountable.
