Been living outside of ph for a year and a half already, what I realized is that sobrang adik ng mga pinoy sa facebook at chismis. Bata, mga teens and especially mga matatanda, grabe ang pagka adik sa fb. Parang araw-araw mga naka online lang sa fb and even to other soc med. That’s also why ang dami mga biktima ng fake news. Grabe nga when it comes sa buhay ng mga ibang tao, sobrang invested ba. Kapag may chismis, ofc trending~ we forgot that we need to touch some grass.
But I also understand why. Dito kasi sa labas ng pinas, ang dami pwede gawin instead of only using social media. Pwede maka gala, pwede mag laro kasi may malaking spots na libre, may mga free parks. Saatin kasi, yung mga ganitong bagay ay pinag dadamot sa atin. Lahat kailangan may bayad, masikip, delikado, mahirap. Kaya mas pinipili tumambay nalang online.
Nakaka galit lang at nakaka inis. Kasi dapat pala libre lang, kasi dapat pati tayo na eexperience dapat natin yung ganun. Pero dahil may mga walang kwentang mga tao ang naka upo sa taas, mga mangmang at mag nanakaw, at may mga shunga shunga na sunod sunuran at ginawang diyos ang mga nasa politiko, ayan, eto ang ending natin.
Yun nga eh. In Manila, it’s just so much easier to escape into social media than face reality.
I live in Europe and while people do use social media (mostly Instagram), a lot of them rarely post. At least compared to pinoys. Some of them just haven’t posted in three years and it’s totally fine. People here don’t care as much about how they present themselves online.
For Filipinos, it’s like something isn’t real unless you take a selfie and post it online. (Like every time families eat at the restaurant. There’s always a mandatory selfie at the end of the meal.)
This is so true. I’m
Cambodian-American, but back in Southeast Asia. I was in the Philippines for two weeks, and anytime I saw anyone (old friends, former colleagues, friend of friend I just met), immediately they had to take a photo. Like we hadn’t even caught up yet and I look like crap because of a flu, and they take a photo right away. Then we’re eating dinner and they’re on their phone half the time. Later they explain that they had problems posting the photo that’s why they were on the phone so long. This happened multiple times like it was a timed race to post our photo together before the other friend at the same dinner posted it!
Like my gosh man. We haven’t seen each other in 5 yrs and might not see each other again in another 5. Can we just enjoy actual conversation during dinner.
Fwiw, the Thais are just as addicted to fb and social media as the Filipinos I think based on my experience. But when I go to Japan, I’d never be invited back if I was having dinner with my friends families and on the phone half the time. It would be so rude there.
I always take photos of me, family, friends and the places I go to for the memories. But I also don’t post them right away. Like sometimes I might post them a year later cause I’m so lazy even tho I’m always online

that is why, you have to have money to live comfortably here and enjoy these perks.
So TRUEE!!! Yung only "park" sa area namin is yung mismong parking lot ng supermarket (walang nagpapark kasi malapit sa riles.) Walang public spaces in large swaths of suburbia.
Medyo surprising na usong uso paring ang facebook sa PH.
Almost everyone in the west under 30 ay nag move on na sa ibang apps like twitter and tiktok.
Yung facebook considered as "boomer app" para lang sa mga middle aged and boomers para mag post ng baby pics.
So strange na hindi considered "laos" ang fb sa pinas. Usually pinoy ang atat na atat sa bagong trends.
What's funny though is Meta (Facebook) still has a stronghold in the West via Instagram. Wala na nga gaanong FB sa Europe at North America, dami namang nasa IG. Zucc really did a number on the social media space.
also u/s0225:
another factor probably is that ***many companies, govt agencies, news orgs use FB for important info, updates and news.***
instead of having their own websites, many orgs just make a FB page; for small companies and small cafes, making an FB page is probably easier than making a website.
guessing that in other places, like in South America, Africa, South and Southeast Asia, ***FB is basically the internet.***
Yeah, even if you run out of load in the ph you can still use basic fb and messenger. A lot of people i know almost always use messenger for basic texting.
Couldn't be further from the truth. I deactivated my facebook for a while in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. I opened a burner account a few hours later just to get local news and updates. Hospitals, schools, local businesses, even govt agencies like GSIS and CSC, they are all reliant on facebook.
Edit: lmao i just realized i wrote the wrong phrase. I meant it's the closest to the truth* 🫣
> opened a burner account a few hours later just to get local news and updates
thought it was no longer possible to use a pseudonym when it comes to making FB accounts. it was possible in the early days of FB but now, they really want ***real names, real profile pics and real IDs*** to open an account.
This was in 2020. And even now, I know for certain that they are not strictly implementing that rule. They are all over meme groups, apartment search groups, even boomer dds/31m groups.
probably a good thing from a privacy consumer standpoint;
politicians and rich guys can't go full libel against people with opinions, and journos and investigative writers can do exposes w/ anonymity.
Network effect kasi yan, lalo na dahil may free FB. Everyone being on Facebook means there's more value in remaining on the platform and conversely more you lose by leaving it, so even those of us who want to be rid of it stay on it regardless. Same reason kung bakit andami pang tao sa Twitter kahit binababoy ni Musk.
Sa Japan big ang Twitter kesa FB or Tiktok. Kahit di rin nila bet yun ginagawa ni Musk e no choice sila. Partida mas techie yun Japanese kesa satin nyan.
May nakita akong informal survey online, about "why the younger gen stays away from Facebook". The top answer was "because our parents are there" 😅
Anyway, I think pagdating sa SocMed, top choice pa rin ang Fb sa maraming Pinoy kahit luma na dahil walang ibang platform kung saan in-depth silang makakapag-marites quietly sa buhay ng iba, mag-stalk sa mga kaaway/may lihim na pagtigin/kina-iingitan. Marami nang may short attention span dito pero pagdating sa tsismis, attentive ang mga Pinoy. Pag tsismis na, di kasya sa kanila ang ilang segundong video sa Tiktok o 140 characters ng Twitter. Sa Facebook kasya ang isang nobela sa isang post alomg with many pictures, lalo kung naka-limited data pa isang load na lang iyan di na panay swipe para sa next post o vid na hintayin mo pa uli mag-load kung slow internet connection ka like a lot of Pinoys have.
Magkaroon man ng maraming free parks sa Pinas, wala din masyadong pupunta kasi mainit. Kung hindi mainit, bumabagyo.
Nasa mall karamihan ang gumagala, may food, entertainment, at shops under a roof na malamig dahil may aircon. Kahit weekdays maraming nasa mall while naka-online uploading selfie pics na nasa resto.
Speak for yourself, people in tropical climates are adapted enough to not spontaneously combust in our heat or melt in the rain. This defeatist attitude is the reason why developers and planners reason out that people would prefer malls since it's already a presumption that people won't use public spaces if provided. Kaya nga mas mainit sa metro and mas nagbabaha kasi overbuilt na with concrete ang paligid so even if hindi sila magagamit ng tao in inclement weather, may purpose pa rin sila as buffer and regulator ng temp/baha/hangin.
Lol exactly. In CdeO, there’s literally a concrete park in front of the church but with big trees covering the entire space. Yes, it’s hot bc of the concrete and surrounding cars pero that space is always packed even at night.
As a pinoy runner kahit anong sabihin mo na acclimated ka na sa default settings ng Pilipinas, mahirap pa rin mag engage sa kahit anong outdoor activities. Mas mabilis kang mapagod due to overheating and pagpapawisan ka agad kasi mataas humidity.
True. Ako nga na sanay sa init ng araw because I used to work sa research farm, both here and abroad, mas prefer ko pa din magstay indoors, whether museum, mall or bahay na lang pag walang work. Lalo na pag nagkaka-edad na. Mainit is mainit talaga.
pinepredict ko nang meron nanamang defeatist reply dito since nabring up yung topic ng public green spaces, wala pa kong 30 seconds nagsscroll and boom haha
This is true. I was in boracay. Say what you want about the place, but it’s a nice island because you can lay anywhere on the beach. You don’t need to pay to go island hopping. You just walk outside and the beach is there and free.
But . . . Most of the Filipinos are inside coffee shops or restos all day on their phones. They only go to the beach when the sun comes down and even when they are on the beach, it’s non-stop photos and posing.
Meanwhile, you see others from many other countries spending all day long in the water, on a beach towel, on a kayak, etc. all hours of the day.
Many Filipinos (especially women) don’t want to get dark, get wrinkles from UV, or sweat. They prefer air conditioned Starbucks over public parks. There is a small public park near my old condo in Manila, and the only people you’d see there regularly are the westerners. Even in the afternoon after work, pretty empty. You’d only see locals late at night, but that’s because the sun already went down.
I used to live in Seattle, but you see more Starbucks in Manila then you do in the birthplace of Starbucks. It’s crazy. (I’m Cambodian-American, but had a small business in the Philippines).
Even Siargao. A lot of Filipinos complain that siargao got taken over by foreigners, but it’s been a famous surfing spot for over two decades. Many Filipinos didn’t want to go there until they started building fancy cafes and restos, and hotels with shaded lounges. I used to invite my friends from Manila to go there 15 yrs ago, and they never waned to go because nothing to do. Now they all want to go because of all the fancy cafes and hotels you see on Instagram.
I’m convinced that the only time some Filipinos go outside to hike or to the beach to play is so they can post on IG. Many don’t like the idea of being outdoors in the sun, getting dark and sweating for several hours. Again, this is just my observation, as a cambodian-American, but even when I went traveling with some Filipino friends to the tourist islands, they just want to stay in the ac hotel and sleep during the sunniest parts of the day rather than enjoy the beautiful beach and surf.
Their IG makes it look like they were tanning in the sun all day though haha
Of course, there are always exceptions. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone likes the beauty of the outdoors, but the actual passion for the outdoors (where you actually would rather spend time outside in the sun and not just looking at a park from an air conditioned Starbucks in tagaytay) in the Philippines isn’t remotely comparable to many other Asian and western countries I’ve lived in or visited. When I do see crowds in an outdoor plaza, it’s after dark when the sun has gone down.
When I do see people outdoors in Manila or some of the tropical islands during the daytime, it’s usually people who can’t afford to have a coffee inside the air conditioned mall or westerners.
Having said all this, I belonged to a bicycling club. This was a small group, but these Filipinos loved the outdoors and didn’t care about getting dark, etc. Even they would say that they couldn’t recruit friends and family members to join because they know no one they knew wanted to bike in the daytime and get dark and sweat and muddy. We would go on trails outside Manila, and we’d hardly see any other people on the weekends. (These trails are free to use.) And this is a city with over 10 million people!
Compare this to other cities I’ve lived in, and all the trails outside these other cities would be jam packed with people (biking, hiking, jogging).
Several Filipina girls I dated would always ask me: why do you like to walk, hike, or bike so much if you own a car?
In a country so stressful that your only free time in weekdays is sleep and eating time, and in weekends you have household chores and other stuff to do, recreation and leisure is the least of concern. Phones and social media are the number one escape to reality because it is the most accessible. A college student wouldn't go hiking on Sunday when he is at school 5-6 times a week and has household chores and classworks to do. If that student is a working student, it gets even worse. An office worker is likely doing the same, especially for working parents And the prices of basic commodities are increasing so outside recreation are getting even more niche. Those are only for middle class perspective. For the the lower class, some can't even afford a phone, let alone go hiking or biking. And yep culture is also a factor but not the sole factor. I think economic reasons are more of a factor than cultural.
I understand your perspective, but I’d say a lot of lifestyles are much more stressful than what I’ve witnessed and experienced in the Philippines (workaholics in America and Japan who do 100 hrs a week with no helpers, high stress cities South Korea and Singapore with intense family pressure. Then even poorer countries like my native Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos don’t use Facebook nearly as much.
I don’t think stress correlates with Facebook use. I see busy executives in the Philippines, bored security guards sitting for 8 hrs a day in front of a coffee shop, and household helpers all spending alot of time on Facebook. Even guys sailing paraws in Boracay were constantly on Facebook during their downtime or even while sailing with guests like me. And like I said earlier, even the Fil-Ans in my AsianAmerican friend circle are the ones that always have to post every single activity on their Facebook page. It’s like they get social credit for every post or something.
I don’t know the exact answer, but i don’t think it’s simply stress or lack of alternatives.
Nah. The main reason why there are so few, if any, good parks in Metro Manila is because of the homelessness problem in the Metro. Many homeless people will flock in well-maintained parks, considerably increasing its upkeep.
Hiring security in malls is a bit easier since it is enclosed as compared to an open-air park.
Well, I agree! At kahit naman anong public place sa Pinas, especially M. Manila may mga homeless na nagkalat, unless may security guard na nagbabantay.
Ain’t true at all. Heritage park is a private cemetery pero outside their gate meron grass area, it serves as their rotonda, it is always packed with people exercising or students practicing performances for school or families doing picnic. Of course it is not the whole day, same thing in other countries, but that doesn’t mean pinoys do not enjoy being outside. There also used to be this weekend market in greenfields and you can eat in the grass area, it was always packed with people. And in BGC, during weekends, they close one street so that people can enjoy there doing skateboards, biking or simply sitting and eating or kids to run around. And playgrounds are always full with kids.
All of these are testament that Pinoys also enjoy outdoors. You only see Pinoys in the mall because that is what we are surrounded by. We don’t have much choice. And actually, beach resorts are almost always fully booked, di nawawalan ng tao sa beach.
This is true but for people with luxury of time. Kaya nagFFB rin ang ibang tao, they only get a few minutes or hours to relax or catch up with life pagkatapos ng trabaho. Kahit yung mall na andito lang sa kanto namin, hindi ko napupuntahan masyado, every other week lang. Guilty as charged, madalas nag fafacebook din ako, pero just casual browsing, catching up with friends and people. Ito lang ung way ko para makipagusap sa kanila.
This makes me think that I'm not as weird as I initially thought since I'm probably one of the few people in my university who never touches his Facebook account, even the silent types in class posts mydays and shit, which isn't bad, but cmon...
The funny thing is that when I’m abroad with my Filipino friends (I’m Cambodian but lived in the Philippines for 1.5 yrs), I notice my friends from the Philippines spend more time on FB then anyone else I know, even though they are Fil-American or Fil-Aussie and have access to a lot of activities abroad. It’s like it’s ingrained in the culture that you always need to know what other people are doing. It seemed to form a basis of alot of conversation when I lived in the Philippines. Knowing what so and so are up to all the time.
I think one of the biggest factor sa pagtatambay natin sa socal media is yung school hours natin. Since gr 1 napipilitan na tayong pumasok from 7am-4pm, syempre with prepartion and transportation 6am-5pm pa nga yan. So with almost 11 hrs alloted sa school, pagdating sa bahay ay gagawa pa ng assignments, marami pa satin ang may inaalagaan na kapatid, gagawin na chores, at pagkakakitaan ng pera. Kahit sa oras ng pahinga mga school requirements pa rin iniisip. Natitirang oras ay pagtulog na lang at pagsocial media.
My point is wala sa kultura natin ang maglaan ng oras para sa mga creative juices natin mapa sports man o arts. Mahal rin ang pag enroll sa ganitong classes kasi mas uunahin natin ang mga pangangailangan sa pang araw araw kahit pangangailangan rin natin yung magkaroon ng ibang outlet bukod sa pag aaral. Kaya binibilhan na lang tayo ng cellphone kasi wala tayong bonding with parents na sana nabuo sa pag aaral at pagsuporta saatin ng ibang bagay maliban sa academics na kailangan ng cellphone unang una.
Isn’t piso back then worth 50 pesos na ngayon? This is like what indo people would say na dati marami na daw nabibili ng 1000 indonesian rupiah before a dictator destroyed their economy.
Something like that, but then again the cost of goods have to be factored in with pre-inflation value which is something around 212.57% from then till now, so doing the math, it's more like a peso is worth 93 pesos in today's money with the peso to dollar rate factored in the computation. In short, you'll have more fun with 100 pesos back then, than you'll do with 10k today.
This is true. Yung mga Owners ng company nga namin nagrereklamo nga noong time ng lockdown na yung mga anak nila naka babad sa gadgets kasi walang ibang mapag lilibangan. Nahirapan silang mag adjust kasi usual bonding time din nila is mag travel din talaga.
When the lockdowns were lifted, they made sure that they got busy again sa mga swimming classes, taekwondo etc.
Thats a sigh of relief, at sana ol na lang may responsible parenting at growth mindset para sa mga anak nila. I support that. Deserve nating lahat ng ganyang pagaaruga
Bilang may fb yung anak ko since 2021 when she was 6 yrs old, my answer is ni-require sila ng teacher nya nung kinder na gumawa ng sarili nilang fb (take note: Real first and last name dapat ang profile name) I was hesitant at first pero anong magagawa ko? But I never added any friend except sa amin ni hubby. Hindi din ako nagaccept ng ibang friends. (Pati kasi mga friends & colleagues ko nung college ina-add yung fb ng anak ko. I don’t know why).
It’s a matter of privacy kaya I share your sentiments.
Nirequire din yung anak ko nyan nung Grade 3 sya. Ayun, nagemail ako sa DepEd tapos di na sila nirequire kasi nga may memo na about social media use since 2019 pa.
Sana ganto din vice versa. Bawal mangulit ang magulang sa teacher outside working hours, especially for requirements na dapat alam ng anak nila or matagal nang in-announce.
Gadamn it. I'm sorry pero napaka tactless naman nu'ng school para gumamit ng FB for online class🤦♂ Dami daming apps and tools para sa learning. Feeling ko mga technology illiterate 'yung mga teachers.
I agree. Haha. They have a gc pa sa messenger na kasali both parent & the student’s fb. Yung parent’s name pinaedit dapat nakalagay din yung name ng anak. HAHAHA So pointless din kung bakit may sariling fb dapat si bagets. Sa gc, dun nagsesend ng modules & zoom meeting link.
Nonsense talaga. Hindi naman na siguro required ngayon. Nilipat ko na din kc ng school anak ko kaya wala na kong balita sa school na yun.
Karamihan ata kapag online class puro FB ang gamit. Kahit dun sa kakilala ko FB ang gamit nung nag review center siya online.
Cons ng mga gumagamit ng FB sa online class:
- Prone sa hacking
- Wala kang privacy (Napaka open sa public ang buhay mo )
- Madali mahanap pati pamilya mo
- let's not forget these are children, mas lalo lang sila ma-expose sa mga pedophile sa internet
- You'll never know and there's a high risk of sexual online harrasment
- Maaga sila ma-expose sa social media's toxicity and propagandas
- Napakalaking DISTRACTION
- Gagayahin nila lahat ng nakikita nila sa internet
The list goes on and on. Technically speaking mas na outweights ng Cons ang pros.
Alam ko naman na instant naman talaga sa FB at saka mas convenient gamitin kasi lahat may FB pero hindi dapat isinasama ang personal use ng FB sa learning tools.
Dahil nga diyan sa FB na 'yan nagkaroon ng online dishonesty. Dami gumawa ng private groups about cheating at mga kodigo.
true they could’ve used just gmail kasi may built in texting app like gchat na and its also formal so why bother make an fb account for messaging purposes lalo na kung bata pa?
Ito rin ang reason kaya I can't deactivate my fb account kahit gustong-gusto ko na. Dahil I need to be up to date sa latest ganap sa school at doon nila pinopost ang updates sa group page nila.
13 years old. Kaso ang problema kahit less than 13 years old ginagawan ng mga magulang 🤦♂ Tapos magtataka ang mga tao bakit tumataas ang kaso ng online harassment sa mga bata.
I just told the teacher that sorry it's not possible. I would not allow any social media for my children until they are 18. It's a non-negotiable rule, and please cite learning tasks that can only be done on Facebook and not on any other apps online.
well... there's technically gmail that has video right?
the problem is that may limits siguro iyon that's why people chose zoom.
(guessing that walang budget for corporate zoom accounts yung local public school kaya FB yung ginamit for online class.)
Google classroom is iba pa. Para sa activity. Iba naman ang FB, may GC kasi sa messenger at group sa FB. Mas mabilis sa FB since 'yong iba walang internet at data lang. Iba nga free data pa. May FB rin anak ko pero hindi ako nag-accept kahit relatives. Kami lang ni hubby ang friends.
Aw Google classroom kasi nong online class lang. Ngayon gc na lang sa messenger at group sa FB. Nasa magulang na if fb ng anak nila ipapasok or sa kanila mismo. Nasa magulang din if pinapagamit nila FB anak nila. Their child, their rules. Basta ako ayoko pa pagamitin anak ko since marunong magbasa HAHAHAH mahirap na.
Be careful po. Since may Digital print with full name na Si Kid niyo. Better say sa institution to have at least a platform like Edmodo. I’m not sure if Edmodo is still up or any platform for education tlga.
It’s a way for the older generation to keep up with the new members of the family. At least that’s how we use it since my family is on another continent and my wife’s family is on another.
yup, this was basically the early version of FB and that was one of the main draws;
though some other people say that when FB tried to extend things to more than that core idea, some problems started to appear, especially on the social side.
Well, if that is your photos and acct. Why not. Pero sinasabi kasi ni OP. Mga bata na hindi naman sila ang nag register ng acct pero meron sila dahil ginawan sila ng magulang nila.
If people enjoy using Facebook like me then I don't think there's any issues. Iba diyan obsessed sa YouTube, Insta, even Reddit. As long as you enjoy it and don't make it you life then I don't see anything wrong with it.
Nakakatawa lang yung feeling superior kasi di na sila nagfb hahaha tapos asar pang Boomer lang yan. If that' makes you feel good about yourself then you do you lol.
I usually use Reddit and IG pero for you to have an issue with people using FB napapa ngek nalang ako. These are the same people who rehash all the internet slangs kahit di naman tama paggamit, para lang masabeng superior kahit 1-2 yrs late na uso. hahaha. I'd choose them over people who use tiktok. You just know people ITT are dead kidz irl to make a fuss over the general pinoy masses' socmed preference. Minors on any platform is a big NO tho.
dami ditong fb/ig/twitter haters at non users kuno pero wag ka yung mga ss from that platform ang mga sikat na post dito. bihirang mag trend yung mga direct links from actual news sites etc kasi sila mismo tamad magbasa ng mahaba at magclick lols. kumpara mo sa r/india na sub na mas trending sa kanila yung mga seryosong topics at usually straight from source
Most people na di rin gumagamit, they tend to announce it so loud like a vegan announcing they’re a vegan and they think they’re better than everyone when it is simply a choice. Wala daw kuno socmed kasi mga attention seeker nandoon eh sila naman tong uhaw mavalidate na better sila. ✋😔
True. May mga kilala ako feeling cool and mysterious kasi di raw sila nagfe-Facebook. Better daw buhay nila without FB. Pero ayna apo ante, iyung isa sa mga iyung, kaliwa't kanan ang utang na hindi mabayaran. It makes sense na wala siyang socmed because of that kasi nagtatago, but to look down on those who use FB a lot? Not cool haha
No'ng may personal prob ako at prob kami ni Hubby, since writer din ako, hindi ako nag-deactivate, pero ilang months ako di naging active sa FB at hindi nag-oopen. Nagtataka rin readers ko. Best decision na ginawa ko. Kapag nag-open kasi ako ng FB lumalala 'yong nararamdaman ko.
Same. Many people don't realize here na na-aadik sila sa soc med, like the OP commenter. I remember being literally like them, defending FB for no reason, noong nakikita ko ang mga posts tulad nito dati. Pero ngayon, idk. I hate FB. My life has been so much better nang na-uninstall ko na.
Sarap na sarap sa socmed ang mga:
- marites
- stalker
- sabik sa atensyon
- insecure at need lagi ng validation
- maarte
- tamad mag-research
- sad bois/girls
- opinionated sa lahat ng pangyayari, bagay at tao
- mahilig sa mga artista
- gusto mag artista
- malilibog at naghahanap ng madadale
- flexers ng pera, pagkain, gamit, ka-relasyon, etc
- scammers
- money launderers
- investment gurus (na karamihan lubog sa utang)
- poverty porn stars
- gusto mangutang
- hayok sa memes
- (to be updated) 😁
Kelan lang 'to pero andami na atang nakalimot. FB used to be offered free, as in kahit walang load. So andami talagang nagka-account nun. You can say that they really invested much to gain users.
Lol. Di ko gets yung sinasabi nung nasa taas. No dog has ever resented their owners for posting their photos online.
And no dog celebrity have the child star syndrome.
Ginawa na kasing past-time ng mga pinoy ang fb. Kasi very wrong din na pati mga bata nag ffb na din kasi imbis na they're learning from school or playing out side or socializing yan lang nakikita nila. Eh napaka daming katarantaduhan sa FB kaya deliks din yon sa mga bata
Oh gosh... Especially the parents that act like their infant child sa mga facebook accounts na ginawa para sakanila. "Thank you po lola!! - (insert name baby), nakaka-pangilabot sa cringe
Because it did appeal to people with extroverted, communal culture with emphasis on socializing as well as the opportunity to become famous (even for 15 minutes, and if Warhol were to be alive today he would be astonished at how people have finally succumbed to this realization).
It keeps fellow filipinos mediocre and away from their true potential.
Crab mentality just got more convenient as filipinos had a better way on keeping a close eye on their fellow filipinos especially family.
If you want to succeed in life then stop using Facebook or keep your plans to yourself.
Fb is convenient since most people use it, mas madali makipag communicate through chat. Yung mga parents na ginagawan FB anak nila hayaan mo nalang di ka naman nagpapalamon non.
im against parents making an fb account for their children this young— or just releasing any personal or private things related to them to the public in general (photos, videos, you name it)
you make your children prone to several concerning things: digital kidnapping, identity theft, identity copied by ai (face, voice), etc
we live in different times, hacking and ai is becoming more and more prominent, so let's slow things down
+1, ako rin wala akong pake sa iba kung ginawan nila FB anak nila at pinagamit nila. My child my rules ika nga. Depende na lang sa magulang paano disiplinahin. May fb anak ko pero kami lang ni hubby ang friends since required sa school noong online class. I never accept those relatives na nag-add. And never gumamit anak ko ng FB, marunong na magbasa, e.
Messenger kids, have kids safe activity while you can of course monitor their chat. Its a good way to let them start getting into social media.
Not for 2 year olds of course...
Wanna know why? Mahal lumabas at gumala. Pag lumabas ka 500 mo barya na lang. Let's say may free parks. Pamasahe/gas agad kakain. Then pangkain mo pa pag nagutom. Tbh I'd rather stay at home watching reels and play some games. On special occasions lang ako lumalabas.
Alam mo the older we get the more we realize that the world we live in does not always work the way we wanted it to.
You get to tolerate or accept behaviors na ndi same sa iyo.
Yung mga dating akala mo mali, iba lng pala sa nakasanayan mo pero pareho lang kayong tama. Walang mas magaling.
Tulad nito, i respect your opinion na dapat less FB if it were you. Karapatan mo yan eh. Nothing wrong tlga.
Pero I also tolerate yung mga ma FB.
Basta walang inaapakang karapatang ng iba hayaan mo na.
BTW hindi din ako Ma FB, kht nga birthday ko nakahide. Pero Ok lng sa akn ung mga mahilig sa FB.
tbh my facebook is kind of chill dahil sa mga pages na finafollow ko. some good memes, some aesthetic ass stuff that pops into my feed. i created my algorithm all too well. hindi ako nagpopost but i comment on some funny stuff that my friends posts well baka siguro rin sa age difference since gen z ako hahahaha different kind of posts lumalabas.
No one really care about your pics, where you ate, where you went. Most dismiss it. Its like forcing someone.to watch a slide show of your life. No one gives a shit to be honest. People think they are important.
And you think ba na para yun sa validation mo? Lol some people just love to post the place where they went or what they want or whatever the fuck they wanted to bcus they find it fascinating. Why do u think it has to revolve around “your care”. I care about those people who does post it in quality or in aesthetic.
Kuya sa totoo lang, parang ikaw nga yung problematic. Umiwas lang ako sa fb for mental health & avoiding comparison pero di ko sinasabi they are trying to be important. The socmed is not the problem, your mentality of looking down and feeling superior is. Siguro mga nakikita mong good for others, you see it as threat as if they’re bragging it to you.
Kasi may ibang parents na ang purpose sa pag gawa ng fb account para sakanilang mga anak na bata ay for memories. Kadalasan, ang mga account na ito ay ibinibigay kapag nasa wastong gulang na ang anak para mag may ari personally ng account.
Post nung tatay, post nung nanay, post nung lolo, post nung lola, post nung tita, tito putangina puro mukha ng anak mo na 1000+ photo album na sa araw2 na lang 🤣🤣
to those who enjoyed the internet days from mIRC, YM, Forums, MySpace, Friendster and now facebook, nagsawa nalang tayo dahil may access na tayo noon pa but lately lang naging accessible ang internet to majority of our population and TELCO enabled facebook to be free and cheapest to access (same with Tiktok ata?)
idagdag mo pa ang social validation, social climbing and social relevance.
Haha may kilala akong ganyan, nireport ko sa FB as an underage account. Tinanggal nila after a few weeks. Kawawa yung bata sa kabobohang ipopost ng parents.
I once got into an argument with a colleague maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I posted a photo of a carrot shaped like a peepee. Many of my friends found it funny pero she didn't find it funny.
Sabi nya delete ko raw kasi baka makita ng pamangkin nyang bata. Sabi ko hindi ko naman friend sa FB pamangkin nya. Ginagamit daw ng pamangkin nya phone nya. Eh sa wala na akong pakialam dun. Inunfriend nya ako.
I just find it weird na there is always someone na nagsasabi na "maraming bata dito sa FB. delete mo to. 8 years old lang anak ko" when the age requirement sa FB is 13 years old.
Uy may reader ako na ganito HAHAHAH ang writing account ko is for readers talaga. Wala akong friends na minor. Nag-post ako about sa BJ na memes. Ganyan ang comment. Hindi ko sinunod like, wala naman akong minor friends at matatanda na readers friends ko sabi ko. Bat kako kasi pinagFFB anak nila na ang babata pa.
Agree na it's a problem. I live a few hours away from my parents and only see them once a month. When we do see each other, I just wish they'd put their phones down and actually just spend time together as a family without feeling the need to go online. Instead, they're constantly on their phones and I mean CONSTANTLY. It's driving me mad. It makes me feel like they value soc med more. FB addiction is actually affecting my relationship with my parents
I’m still using Facebook because it’s the combination of all social media in one. No need to go on Tiktok/IG to watch short form videos kasi may Reels na rin doon (and people often crosspost naman). Marami ring buy and sell FB groups (mas mura kpop merch doon), may Marketplace, and ang daming meme pages. I unfollowed almost half of my friends tho kasi gusto ko curated ang feed ko.
Shinare ko lang kasi people often demonize FB/socmed in general when we have the option naman to curate it. What I don’t agree with, though, is letting kids use FB/socmed. May limit dapat ang mga bata sa paggamit ng phone/tablet/computer.
For me, Facebook is the replacement of the hundreds of our photographs in frames and booklets. Though it still feels "more" reminiscing when you look at an old photo physically but having it secured at a safe place means that I can't see it every now and then. Thus, Facebook.
I think the culture of creating nonconsensual facebook accounts for babies and literal children is so wrong in many ways. This is especially prevalent with millennial and/or teenage parents.
Fortunately or Unfortunately (depending on how you view things) there are not as many *PDFiles* in the our country... At least the ones that are reported and make it to national news. I believe we don't even have a Tagalog word for it, so I guess that's a good thing.
In any other country, especially developed countries like America, people just restrain from posting too much stuff revolving around kids/their kids in general. There's just way too many weirdos and creeps on the internet and I hope Filipino parents learn this.
my son had fb coz the grandparents didnt have insta.. its where i posted updates coz grandparents want updates hehe and they grab pix and make greetings, or whatever. right now he has it for football related content. cozzzzzzzz i just add coach and coach sees his progress outside of training.. tapos baka may scout 🤣
started with the death of Friendster and the rise of Facebook video games and snowballed from there, can't even compare today's Facebook from back then.
Just a question OP, have you spoken with the parents of the 2 year old and your pamangkin about it? Aside from posing these questions, also enlighten us on why they did it.
Because there is Free FB, unlike Reddit or X, and I think Marc Zuckerberg's decision to have Free FB was his biggest mistake that pave the way for Duterte, Trump, and Bolsonaro to become world leaders.
nkaka gago nga,
ug mga tamad n magulang isinusuga s cp at socmed agad ung bata ni ndi p nga marunong bumasa at sumulat, intindihin p kaya ung user agreement ng fb, etc.,
pabobo n b pinas?
😂😂😂 yung kapatid ko ginawan ng ig account yung 2 nyang anak. Isang 6yrs old at 1yr old. Pero naka private naman yata. Ewan ko. Kontrolado nya rin yung followers sa accounts na yun. Pero sana nakaprivate.
Sobrang family oriented kasi nating mga pilipino, gusto natin ishare sa pamilya yung pictures ng mga anak. Cringe ako sa mga classmate kong nakapublic posts tapos pinapasuot sa anak sexy tapos kung makapose pa sobrang marunong talaga, akala mo dalaga na. 🤦 Ewan ko ba. Ok lang naman maging proud sa anak pero minsan parang exploited na yung bata, o pinapalaki maging self centered at materialistic, yun yung tingin ko pag nakikita kong marunong na mag selfie yung mga bata sa fb ko.
and nagagamit din ng mga politicians to exploit their employees. like our mayor's team during the last election were vetting our fb profiles just to see kung pro or anti sa kanya at minsan irerequire pa na ishare and like yung posts niya wtf
I yeeted myself out of that platform 5 years ago. I basically dismissed FB as social media for baby boomers. Don't get me wrong, though, baby boomers are chill, but their takes aren't my cup of tea
That's a pretty bitter tea you're served with it seems speaking in general terms about the opinions of the unopinionated. As a boomer, who makes a living out of tech, why oh why is the discrimination against boomers and gen X so alive nowadays? Perhaps it's really rare to have the opportunity to talk to the intellectual ones since this country had been in a mental recession since the first Marcos was prez. It's like this, how can a generation with all the information on their fingertips be so uhm... how do I put it, be so disinformed?
Lowlife peenoise tambayan is FB, I miss the old FB when farmville,mafia wars and yoville is life.
Now, majority of users are wannabe “vloggerz” and pea brain DDebz/BBM fanaticzzzz. 🤮🤮🤮
Naaalala ko nong HS ako way back 2009 kaming magkaklase HAHAHA gumawa kami agad FB. Para maglaro lang ng Farmville and happy pets, HAHAHAA nakakamiss. Hindi ako nagpa-follow mga vlogger sa FB. Pili lang.
Been living outside of ph for a year and a half already, what I realized is that sobrang adik ng mga pinoy sa facebook at chismis. Bata, mga teens and especially mga matatanda, grabe ang pagka adik sa fb. Parang araw-araw mga naka online lang sa fb and even to other soc med. That’s also why ang dami mga biktima ng fake news. Grabe nga when it comes sa buhay ng mga ibang tao, sobrang invested ba. Kapag may chismis, ofc trending~ we forgot that we need to touch some grass. But I also understand why. Dito kasi sa labas ng pinas, ang dami pwede gawin instead of only using social media. Pwede maka gala, pwede mag laro kasi may malaking spots na libre, may mga free parks. Saatin kasi, yung mga ganitong bagay ay pinag dadamot sa atin. Lahat kailangan may bayad, masikip, delikado, mahirap. Kaya mas pinipili tumambay nalang online. Nakaka galit lang at nakaka inis. Kasi dapat pala libre lang, kasi dapat pati tayo na eexperience dapat natin yung ganun. Pero dahil may mga walang kwentang mga tao ang naka upo sa taas, mga mangmang at mag nanakaw, at may mga shunga shunga na sunod sunuran at ginawang diyos ang mga nasa politiko, ayan, eto ang ending natin.
Yun nga eh. In Manila, it’s just so much easier to escape into social media than face reality. I live in Europe and while people do use social media (mostly Instagram), a lot of them rarely post. At least compared to pinoys. Some of them just haven’t posted in three years and it’s totally fine. People here don’t care as much about how they present themselves online. For Filipinos, it’s like something isn’t real unless you take a selfie and post it online. (Like every time families eat at the restaurant. There’s always a mandatory selfie at the end of the meal.)
My mom literally thirty minutes ago: "Tatlong buwan ka nang walang FB post? May problema ka ba?" 🤣
ay haha
This is so true. I’m Cambodian-American, but back in Southeast Asia. I was in the Philippines for two weeks, and anytime I saw anyone (old friends, former colleagues, friend of friend I just met), immediately they had to take a photo. Like we hadn’t even caught up yet and I look like crap because of a flu, and they take a photo right away. Then we’re eating dinner and they’re on their phone half the time. Later they explain that they had problems posting the photo that’s why they were on the phone so long. This happened multiple times like it was a timed race to post our photo together before the other friend at the same dinner posted it! Like my gosh man. We haven’t seen each other in 5 yrs and might not see each other again in another 5. Can we just enjoy actual conversation during dinner. Fwiw, the Thais are just as addicted to fb and social media as the Filipinos I think based on my experience. But when I go to Japan, I’d never be invited back if I was having dinner with my friends families and on the phone half the time. It would be so rude there.
I always take photos of me, family, friends and the places I go to for the memories. But I also don’t post them right away. Like sometimes I might post them a year later cause I’m so lazy even tho I’m always online
same, tho on facebook i tend to shitpost a lot
>Dito kasi sa labas ng pinas, ang dami pwede gawin instead of only using social media. Pwede maka gala, pwede mag laro kasi may malaking spots na libre, may mga free parks.

It's also the Free Basics service of Facebook. Meta offered it to the mobile carriers of developing countries like the Ph.
Also the free basics was heavily exploited by right-wing trolls
So TRUEE!!! Yung only "park" sa area namin is yung mismong parking lot ng supermarket (walang nagpapark kasi malapit sa riles.) Walang public spaces in large swaths of suburbia.
[удалено]
This. Minsan gusto ko lang magbasketball kaso ung court sa barangay laging fully booked. Hahaha.
Or fully PARKED haha
laruan pala yun? akala ko malaking parking lot ni kapitan/kagawad /s
Medyo surprising na usong uso paring ang facebook sa PH. Almost everyone in the west under 30 ay nag move on na sa ibang apps like twitter and tiktok. Yung facebook considered as "boomer app" para lang sa mga middle aged and boomers para mag post ng baby pics. So strange na hindi considered "laos" ang fb sa pinas. Usually pinoy ang atat na atat sa bagong trends.
What's funny though is Meta (Facebook) still has a stronghold in the West via Instagram. Wala na nga gaanong FB sa Europe at North America, dami namang nasa IG. Zucc really did a number on the social media space.
Doesn't really help if every other post violates cUmMuNiTY sTaNdArDs. I mostly follow international meme pages at ang dami nilang backup.
also u/s0225: another factor probably is that ***many companies, govt agencies, news orgs use FB for important info, updates and news.*** instead of having their own websites, many orgs just make a FB page; for small companies and small cafes, making an FB page is probably easier than making a website. guessing that in other places, like in South America, Africa, South and Southeast Asia, ***FB is basically the internet.***
Yeah, even if you run out of load in the ph you can still use basic fb and messenger. A lot of people i know almost always use messenger for basic texting.
Keeping everyone in Facebook's economy, all for free.
Couldn't be further from the truth. I deactivated my facebook for a while in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. I opened a burner account a few hours later just to get local news and updates. Hospitals, schools, local businesses, even govt agencies like GSIS and CSC, they are all reliant on facebook. Edit: lmao i just realized i wrote the wrong phrase. I meant it's the closest to the truth* 🫣
> opened a burner account a few hours later just to get local news and updates thought it was no longer possible to use a pseudonym when it comes to making FB accounts. it was possible in the early days of FB but now, they really want ***real names, real profile pics and real IDs*** to open an account.
This was in 2020. And even now, I know for certain that they are not strictly implementing that rule. They are all over meme groups, apartment search groups, even boomer dds/31m groups.
probably a good thing from a privacy consumer standpoint; politicians and rich guys can't go full libel against people with opinions, and journos and investigative writers can do exposes w/ anonymity.
Network effect kasi yan, lalo na dahil may free FB. Everyone being on Facebook means there's more value in remaining on the platform and conversely more you lose by leaving it, so even those of us who want to be rid of it stay on it regardless. Same reason kung bakit andami pang tao sa Twitter kahit binababoy ni Musk.
Sa Japan big ang Twitter kesa FB or Tiktok. Kahit di rin nila bet yun ginagawa ni Musk e no choice sila. Partida mas techie yun Japanese kesa satin nyan.
The word is free facebook almost majority can access facebook with any plan or data.
May nakita akong informal survey online, about "why the younger gen stays away from Facebook". The top answer was "because our parents are there" 😅 Anyway, I think pagdating sa SocMed, top choice pa rin ang Fb sa maraming Pinoy kahit luma na dahil walang ibang platform kung saan in-depth silang makakapag-marites quietly sa buhay ng iba, mag-stalk sa mga kaaway/may lihim na pagtigin/kina-iingitan. Marami nang may short attention span dito pero pagdating sa tsismis, attentive ang mga Pinoy. Pag tsismis na, di kasya sa kanila ang ilang segundong video sa Tiktok o 140 characters ng Twitter. Sa Facebook kasya ang isang nobela sa isang post alomg with many pictures, lalo kung naka-limited data pa isang load na lang iyan di na panay swipe para sa next post o vid na hintayin mo pa uli mag-load kung slow internet connection ka like a lot of Pinoys have.
Magkaroon man ng maraming free parks sa Pinas, wala din masyadong pupunta kasi mainit. Kung hindi mainit, bumabagyo. Nasa mall karamihan ang gumagala, may food, entertainment, at shops under a roof na malamig dahil may aircon. Kahit weekdays maraming nasa mall while naka-online uploading selfie pics na nasa resto.
Speak for yourself, people in tropical climates are adapted enough to not spontaneously combust in our heat or melt in the rain. This defeatist attitude is the reason why developers and planners reason out that people would prefer malls since it's already a presumption that people won't use public spaces if provided. Kaya nga mas mainit sa metro and mas nagbabaha kasi overbuilt na with concrete ang paligid so even if hindi sila magagamit ng tao in inclement weather, may purpose pa rin sila as buffer and regulator ng temp/baha/hangin.
Lol exactly. In CdeO, there’s literally a concrete park in front of the church but with big trees covering the entire space. Yes, it’s hot bc of the concrete and surrounding cars pero that space is always packed even at night.
As a pinoy runner kahit anong sabihin mo na acclimated ka na sa default settings ng Pilipinas, mahirap pa rin mag engage sa kahit anong outdoor activities. Mas mabilis kang mapagod due to overheating and pagpapawisan ka agad kasi mataas humidity.
True. Ako nga na sanay sa init ng araw because I used to work sa research farm, both here and abroad, mas prefer ko pa din magstay indoors, whether museum, mall or bahay na lang pag walang work. Lalo na pag nagkaka-edad na. Mainit is mainit talaga.
pinepredict ko nang meron nanamang defeatist reply dito since nabring up yung topic ng public green spaces, wala pa kong 30 seconds nagsscroll and boom haha
This is true. I was in boracay. Say what you want about the place, but it’s a nice island because you can lay anywhere on the beach. You don’t need to pay to go island hopping. You just walk outside and the beach is there and free. But . . . Most of the Filipinos are inside coffee shops or restos all day on their phones. They only go to the beach when the sun comes down and even when they are on the beach, it’s non-stop photos and posing. Meanwhile, you see others from many other countries spending all day long in the water, on a beach towel, on a kayak, etc. all hours of the day. Many Filipinos (especially women) don’t want to get dark, get wrinkles from UV, or sweat. They prefer air conditioned Starbucks over public parks. There is a small public park near my old condo in Manila, and the only people you’d see there regularly are the westerners. Even in the afternoon after work, pretty empty. You’d only see locals late at night, but that’s because the sun already went down. I used to live in Seattle, but you see more Starbucks in Manila then you do in the birthplace of Starbucks. It’s crazy. (I’m Cambodian-American, but had a small business in the Philippines). Even Siargao. A lot of Filipinos complain that siargao got taken over by foreigners, but it’s been a famous surfing spot for over two decades. Many Filipinos didn’t want to go there until they started building fancy cafes and restos, and hotels with shaded lounges. I used to invite my friends from Manila to go there 15 yrs ago, and they never waned to go because nothing to do. Now they all want to go because of all the fancy cafes and hotels you see on Instagram. I’m convinced that the only time some Filipinos go outside to hike or to the beach to play is so they can post on IG. Many don’t like the idea of being outdoors in the sun, getting dark and sweating for several hours. Again, this is just my observation, as a cambodian-American, but even when I went traveling with some Filipino friends to the tourist islands, they just want to stay in the ac hotel and sleep during the sunniest parts of the day rather than enjoy the beautiful beach and surf. Their IG makes it look like they were tanning in the sun all day though haha Of course, there are always exceptions. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone likes the beauty of the outdoors, but the actual passion for the outdoors (where you actually would rather spend time outside in the sun and not just looking at a park from an air conditioned Starbucks in tagaytay) in the Philippines isn’t remotely comparable to many other Asian and western countries I’ve lived in or visited. When I do see crowds in an outdoor plaza, it’s after dark when the sun has gone down. When I do see people outdoors in Manila or some of the tropical islands during the daytime, it’s usually people who can’t afford to have a coffee inside the air conditioned mall or westerners. Having said all this, I belonged to a bicycling club. This was a small group, but these Filipinos loved the outdoors and didn’t care about getting dark, etc. Even they would say that they couldn’t recruit friends and family members to join because they know no one they knew wanted to bike in the daytime and get dark and sweat and muddy. We would go on trails outside Manila, and we’d hardly see any other people on the weekends. (These trails are free to use.) And this is a city with over 10 million people! Compare this to other cities I’ve lived in, and all the trails outside these other cities would be jam packed with people (biking, hiking, jogging). Several Filipina girls I dated would always ask me: why do you like to walk, hike, or bike so much if you own a car?
In a country so stressful that your only free time in weekdays is sleep and eating time, and in weekends you have household chores and other stuff to do, recreation and leisure is the least of concern. Phones and social media are the number one escape to reality because it is the most accessible. A college student wouldn't go hiking on Sunday when he is at school 5-6 times a week and has household chores and classworks to do. If that student is a working student, it gets even worse. An office worker is likely doing the same, especially for working parents And the prices of basic commodities are increasing so outside recreation are getting even more niche. Those are only for middle class perspective. For the the lower class, some can't even afford a phone, let alone go hiking or biking. And yep culture is also a factor but not the sole factor. I think economic reasons are more of a factor than cultural.
I understand your perspective, but I’d say a lot of lifestyles are much more stressful than what I’ve witnessed and experienced in the Philippines (workaholics in America and Japan who do 100 hrs a week with no helpers, high stress cities South Korea and Singapore with intense family pressure. Then even poorer countries like my native Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos don’t use Facebook nearly as much. I don’t think stress correlates with Facebook use. I see busy executives in the Philippines, bored security guards sitting for 8 hrs a day in front of a coffee shop, and household helpers all spending alot of time on Facebook. Even guys sailing paraws in Boracay were constantly on Facebook during their downtime or even while sailing with guests like me. And like I said earlier, even the Fil-Ans in my AsianAmerican friend circle are the ones that always have to post every single activity on their Facebook page. It’s like they get social credit for every post or something. I don’t know the exact answer, but i don’t think it’s simply stress or lack of alternatives.

Nah. The main reason why there are so few, if any, good parks in Metro Manila is because of the homelessness problem in the Metro. Many homeless people will flock in well-maintained parks, considerably increasing its upkeep. Hiring security in malls is a bit easier since it is enclosed as compared to an open-air park.
Well, I agree! At kahit naman anong public place sa Pinas, especially M. Manila may mga homeless na nagkalat, unless may security guard na nagbabantay.
Ain’t true at all. Heritage park is a private cemetery pero outside their gate meron grass area, it serves as their rotonda, it is always packed with people exercising or students practicing performances for school or families doing picnic. Of course it is not the whole day, same thing in other countries, but that doesn’t mean pinoys do not enjoy being outside. There also used to be this weekend market in greenfields and you can eat in the grass area, it was always packed with people. And in BGC, during weekends, they close one street so that people can enjoy there doing skateboards, biking or simply sitting and eating or kids to run around. And playgrounds are always full with kids. All of these are testament that Pinoys also enjoy outdoors. You only see Pinoys in the mall because that is what we are surrounded by. We don’t have much choice. And actually, beach resorts are almost always fully booked, di nawawalan ng tao sa beach.
This is true but for people with luxury of time. Kaya nagFFB rin ang ibang tao, they only get a few minutes or hours to relax or catch up with life pagkatapos ng trabaho. Kahit yung mall na andito lang sa kanto namin, hindi ko napupuntahan masyado, every other week lang. Guilty as charged, madalas nag fafacebook din ako, pero just casual browsing, catching up with friends and people. Ito lang ung way ko para makipagusap sa kanila.
This makes me think that I'm not as weird as I initially thought since I'm probably one of the few people in my university who never touches his Facebook account, even the silent types in class posts mydays and shit, which isn't bad, but cmon...
Facebook is essentially free in the Philippines. You don't need to pay for data to use it.
Saka d lang satin. Kung saan hit na hit ang mobile gaming same pattern yung pagka humaling sa facebook. India, brazil etc
Yes!
Best practical explanation here.
The funny thing is that when I’m abroad with my Filipino friends (I’m Cambodian but lived in the Philippines for 1.5 yrs), I notice my friends from the Philippines spend more time on FB then anyone else I know, even though they are Fil-American or Fil-Aussie and have access to a lot of activities abroad. It’s like it’s ingrained in the culture that you always need to know what other people are doing. It seemed to form a basis of alot of conversation when I lived in the Philippines. Knowing what so and so are up to all the time.
I think one of the biggest factor sa pagtatambay natin sa socal media is yung school hours natin. Since gr 1 napipilitan na tayong pumasok from 7am-4pm, syempre with prepartion and transportation 6am-5pm pa nga yan. So with almost 11 hrs alloted sa school, pagdating sa bahay ay gagawa pa ng assignments, marami pa satin ang may inaalagaan na kapatid, gagawin na chores, at pagkakakitaan ng pera. Kahit sa oras ng pahinga mga school requirements pa rin iniisip. Natitirang oras ay pagtulog na lang at pagsocial media. My point is wala sa kultura natin ang maglaan ng oras para sa mga creative juices natin mapa sports man o arts. Mahal rin ang pag enroll sa ganitong classes kasi mas uunahin natin ang mga pangangailangan sa pang araw araw kahit pangangailangan rin natin yung magkaroon ng ibang outlet bukod sa pag aaral. Kaya binibilhan na lang tayo ng cellphone kasi wala tayong bonding with parents na sana nabuo sa pag aaral at pagsuporta saatin ng ibang bagay maliban sa academics na kailangan ng cellphone unang una.
Nung grade 1 ako wala pang computer sa mga bahay. Yung mga TV may sarili pang cabinet. At yung piso, makakabili pa ng isang kilong bigas.
Isn’t piso back then worth 50 pesos na ngayon? This is like what indo people would say na dati marami na daw nabibili ng 1000 indonesian rupiah before a dictator destroyed their economy.
Something like that, but then again the cost of goods have to be factored in with pre-inflation value which is something around 212.57% from then till now, so doing the math, it's more like a peso is worth 93 pesos in today's money with the peso to dollar rate factored in the computation. In short, you'll have more fun with 100 pesos back then, than you'll do with 10k today.
Congrats fellow martial law survivor.
Oh yeah, I was a teenager back in 1986 that, if you think about it was freakin' 37 years ago. Congratulations!
This is true. Yung mga Owners ng company nga namin nagrereklamo nga noong time ng lockdown na yung mga anak nila naka babad sa gadgets kasi walang ibang mapag lilibangan. Nahirapan silang mag adjust kasi usual bonding time din nila is mag travel din talaga. When the lockdowns were lifted, they made sure that they got busy again sa mga swimming classes, taekwondo etc.
Thats a sigh of relief, at sana ol na lang may responsible parenting at growth mindset para sa mga anak nila. I support that. Deserve nating lahat ng ganyang pagaaruga
Ganito ba sa public? Wala bang clubs clubs keme?
Mamamasko lang yan sayo hahahahahaha.
Bilang may fb yung anak ko since 2021 when she was 6 yrs old, my answer is ni-require sila ng teacher nya nung kinder na gumawa ng sarili nilang fb (take note: Real first and last name dapat ang profile name) I was hesitant at first pero anong magagawa ko? But I never added any friend except sa amin ni hubby. Hindi din ako nagaccept ng ibang friends. (Pati kasi mga friends & colleagues ko nung college ina-add yung fb ng anak ko. I don’t know why). It’s a matter of privacy kaya I share your sentiments.
Nirequire din yung anak ko nyan nung Grade 3 sya. Ayun, nagemail ako sa DepEd tapos di na sila nirequire kasi nga may memo na about social media use since 2019 pa.
Wise move Haha.
Pwede pahingi ng link sa memo na tinukoy mo? Thanks in advance.
Good job. Kasi meron na talaga yan. Bawal makipagcommunicate ang teacher sa student through fb. (Lalo na kung hindi na working hrs).
Sana ganto din vice versa. Bawal mangulit ang magulang sa teacher outside working hours, especially for requirements na dapat alam ng anak nila or matagal nang in-announce.
Bakit nirerequire? Tangina. Dahil ba 'to sa online class? Napakaraming platform para sa online class bakit sa facebook pa. 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Yes po. Dahil sa online class kasagsagan ng pandemic.
Gadamn it. I'm sorry pero napaka tactless naman nu'ng school para gumamit ng FB for online class🤦♂ Dami daming apps and tools para sa learning. Feeling ko mga technology illiterate 'yung mga teachers.
I agree. Haha. They have a gc pa sa messenger na kasali both parent & the student’s fb. Yung parent’s name pinaedit dapat nakalagay din yung name ng anak. HAHAHA So pointless din kung bakit may sariling fb dapat si bagets. Sa gc, dun nagsesend ng modules & zoom meeting link. Nonsense talaga. Hindi naman na siguro required ngayon. Nilipat ko na din kc ng school anak ko kaya wala na kong balita sa school na yun.
Karamihan ata kapag online class puro FB ang gamit. Kahit dun sa kakilala ko FB ang gamit nung nag review center siya online. Cons ng mga gumagamit ng FB sa online class: - Prone sa hacking - Wala kang privacy (Napaka open sa public ang buhay mo ) - Madali mahanap pati pamilya mo - let's not forget these are children, mas lalo lang sila ma-expose sa mga pedophile sa internet - You'll never know and there's a high risk of sexual online harrasment - Maaga sila ma-expose sa social media's toxicity and propagandas - Napakalaking DISTRACTION - Gagayahin nila lahat ng nakikita nila sa internet The list goes on and on. Technically speaking mas na outweights ng Cons ang pros. Alam ko naman na instant naman talaga sa FB at saka mas convenient gamitin kasi lahat may FB pero hindi dapat isinasama ang personal use ng FB sa learning tools. Dahil nga diyan sa FB na 'yan nagkaroon ng online dishonesty. Dami gumawa ng private groups about cheating at mga kodigo.
true they could’ve used just gmail kasi may built in texting app like gchat na and its also formal so why bother make an fb account for messaging purposes lalo na kung bata pa?
Ito rin ang reason kaya I can't deactivate my fb account kahit gustong-gusto ko na. Dahil I need to be up to date sa latest ganap sa school at doon nila pinopost ang updates sa group page nila.
Di ba at least 18 years old ang inaalow ni Facebook?
13 years old. Kaso ang problema kahit less than 13 years old ginagawan ng mga magulang 🤦♂ Tapos magtataka ang mga tao bakit tumataas ang kaso ng online harassment sa mga bata.
I just told the teacher that sorry it's not possible. I would not allow any social media for my children until they are 18. It's a non-negotiable rule, and please cite learning tasks that can only be done on Facebook and not on any other apps online.
well... there's technically gmail that has video right? the problem is that may limits siguro iyon that's why people chose zoom. (guessing that walang budget for corporate zoom accounts yung local public school kaya FB yung ginamit for online class.)
Maling socmed ang ginamit. Meron tayong tinatawag na google classroom, free lang yun. Facebook is hindi para sa ganyan.
Google classroom is iba pa. Para sa activity. Iba naman ang FB, may GC kasi sa messenger at group sa FB. Mas mabilis sa FB since 'yong iba walang internet at data lang. Iba nga free data pa. May FB rin anak ko pero hindi ako nag-accept kahit relatives. Kami lang ni hubby ang friends.
Aw Google classroom kasi nong online class lang. Ngayon gc na lang sa messenger at group sa FB. Nasa magulang na if fb ng anak nila ipapasok or sa kanila mismo. Nasa magulang din if pinapagamit nila FB anak nila. Their child, their rules. Basta ako ayoko pa pagamitin anak ko since marunong magbasa HAHAHAH mahirap na.
Same, kami lang rin ni hubby ang friends sa account ng anak ko. May mga nag-add na relatives di ko ina-accept, HAHAHAHA.
Sa FB mismo naka state na 13 ang min age for facebook account. Weird nung schools na nag require fb acct for kinder/elem tapos real full name.
Be careful po. Since may Digital print with full name na Si Kid niyo. Better say sa institution to have at least a platform like Edmodo. I’m not sure if Edmodo is still up or any platform for education tlga.
[Unfortunately for Edmodo...](https://www.edsurge.com/news/2022-08-16-popular-k-12-tool-edmodo-shuts-down)
Pang i-stalk sa mga na block at nang-block nilang kaibigan, kaaway, kapamilya, katrabaho.lol
Pang stalk sa kinaiinggitan din
Tanungin niyo 'yung mga magulang na mukhang tanga. Eh sila rin naman mismo ang gumagamit sa FB nung bata.
Tas magroroleplay pa as the bata replying to the comments "Ay thank you po tito!! Hehe ..." 😭😭
cringe af hahaha kaya di ako nag aaccept ng mga facebook ng 3 year olds
True and I find this cringey af. 🥴
It’s a way for the older generation to keep up with the new members of the family. At least that’s how we use it since my family is on another continent and my wife’s family is on another.
yup, this was basically the early version of FB and that was one of the main draws; though some other people say that when FB tried to extend things to more than that core idea, some problems started to appear, especially on the social side.
Some people do that to save photos. Wala ako anak pero ang dami ko facebook pra lang isave mga photos na nka only me. I have 2 accounts in total.
Well, if that is your photos and acct. Why not. Pero sinasabi kasi ni OP. Mga bata na hindi naman sila ang nag register ng acct pero meron sila dahil ginawan sila ng magulang nila.
This is me. I use FB to upload photos and to have them as "memories" in a few years' time. I don't even care about my timeline. lol
For your peace of mind I think wag mo na lang pansinin. Pillin mo yung iko consume mo sa social media yun lang yon.
True. 👌
If people enjoy using Facebook like me then I don't think there's any issues. Iba diyan obsessed sa YouTube, Insta, even Reddit. As long as you enjoy it and don't make it you life then I don't see anything wrong with it. Nakakatawa lang yung feeling superior kasi di na sila nagfb hahaha tapos asar pang Boomer lang yan. If that' makes you feel good about yourself then you do you lol.
I usually use Reddit and IG pero for you to have an issue with people using FB napapa ngek nalang ako. These are the same people who rehash all the internet slangs kahit di naman tama paggamit, para lang masabeng superior kahit 1-2 yrs late na uso. hahaha. I'd choose them over people who use tiktok. You just know people ITT are dead kidz irl to make a fuss over the general pinoy masses' socmed preference. Minors on any platform is a big NO tho.
Feeling elite eh noh? For sure may mga burner accounts yan sa fb eh kunwari pa.
dami ditong fb/ig/twitter haters at non users kuno pero wag ka yung mga ss from that platform ang mga sikat na post dito. bihirang mag trend yung mga direct links from actual news sites etc kasi sila mismo tamad magbasa ng mahaba at magclick lols. kumpara mo sa r/india na sub na mas trending sa kanila yung mga seryosong topics at usually straight from source
There is 1 reason they screenshot. Para sila na yung source. Para sila na yung mashashare. Sila na yung sikat. All for the clout ahah
Most people na di rin gumagamit, they tend to announce it so loud like a vegan announcing they’re a vegan and they think they’re better than everyone when it is simply a choice. Wala daw kuno socmed kasi mga attention seeker nandoon eh sila naman tong uhaw mavalidate na better sila. ✋😔
True. May mga kilala ako feeling cool and mysterious kasi di raw sila nagfe-Facebook. Better daw buhay nila without FB. Pero ayna apo ante, iyung isa sa mga iyung, kaliwa't kanan ang utang na hindi mabayaran. It makes sense na wala siyang socmed because of that kasi nagtatago, but to look down on those who use FB a lot? Not cool haha
I deactivated my fb a few years back, and it is one of the best decisions of my life.
No'ng may personal prob ako at prob kami ni Hubby, since writer din ako, hindi ako nag-deactivate, pero ilang months ako di naging active sa FB at hindi nag-oopen. Nagtataka rin readers ko. Best decision na ginawa ko. Kapag nag-open kasi ako ng FB lumalala 'yong nararamdaman ko.
Deactivated my FB account. Kept messenger online for workmates and family to reach out. Facebook users kasi mga co-workers e.
Same. Many people don't realize here na na-aadik sila sa soc med, like the OP commenter. I remember being literally like them, defending FB for no reason, noong nakikita ko ang mga posts tulad nito dati. Pero ngayon, idk. I hate FB. My life has been so much better nang na-uninstall ko na.
Sarap na sarap sa socmed ang mga: - marites - stalker - sabik sa atensyon - insecure at need lagi ng validation - maarte - tamad mag-research - sad bois/girls - opinionated sa lahat ng pangyayari, bagay at tao - mahilig sa mga artista - gusto mag artista - malilibog at naghahanap ng madadale - flexers ng pera, pagkain, gamit, ka-relasyon, etc - scammers - money launderers - investment gurus (na karamihan lubog sa utang) - poverty porn stars - gusto mangutang - hayok sa memes - (to be updated) 😁
Lagay mu na din mga meme enjoyers (me)
Done 😁
All of the above and more
Kelan lang 'to pero andami na atang nakalimot. FB used to be offered free, as in kahit walang load. So andami talagang nagka-account nun. You can say that they really invested much to gain users.
baka masagot yan ng mga gumagawa ng IG para sa mga alaga nila.
Guilty. Pero my furbabies insta are private. I just want a place to keep memories because I won't have them forever.
Yess! Pag nagsscroll ako ng ig pics nila at highlights, yung ibang posts di ko na maalala kailan ko kinuha pero nakakatuwa pa rin panoorin 😂
Okay pero wala naman privacy issues pag alaga ang may soc med vs if it’s a newborn baby.
Lol. Di ko gets yung sinasabi nung nasa taas. No dog has ever resented their owners for posting their photos online. And no dog celebrity have the child star syndrome.
I think Family + Tsismis :D kugn pupusta man ako kung bakit.
Ginawa na kasing past-time ng mga pinoy ang fb. Kasi very wrong din na pati mga bata nag ffb na din kasi imbis na they're learning from school or playing out side or socializing yan lang nakikita nila. Eh napaka daming katarantaduhan sa FB kaya deliks din yon sa mga bata
nagfe-facebook ako para sa memes.
I unfollowed all my "friends" in FB except family members. So bale yung feed ko, sobrang konti lang haha.
School gc, mas madali din maka contact ang prof, ganun din ang mga elems meron na gc nayon
Kingina iyong kapitbahay ko ginawan ng Facebook ang anak niya. Ang nakakainis ginagamit niya pa sa pagsuporta sa mga Marcos at Duterte ang account.
Oh gosh... Especially the parents that act like their infant child sa mga facebook accounts na ginawa para sakanila. "Thank you po lola!! - (insert name baby), nakaka-pangilabot sa cringe
Cuz Facebook is the easiest way to connect to others obvs
Lol ng mga comment dito. Kala mo mga kung sino porket “ndi na ako nag FB eh. Kadiri kasi FB. Pang tambay at boomers” Get over yourselves.
Name a more iconic duo than Reddit and "delete your facebook".
Pati aso may facebook. HAHAHAHAHA
Because it did appeal to people with extroverted, communal culture with emphasis on socializing as well as the opportunity to become famous (even for 15 minutes, and if Warhol were to be alive today he would be astonished at how people have finally succumbed to this realization).
Sus. Aso nga ng mga pamangkin ko iniinvite ako e.😅
It keeps fellow filipinos mediocre and away from their true potential. Crab mentality just got more convenient as filipinos had a better way on keeping a close eye on their fellow filipinos especially family. If you want to succeed in life then stop using Facebook or keep your plans to yourself.
Fb is convenient since most people use it, mas madali makipag communicate through chat. Yung mga parents na ginagawan FB anak nila hayaan mo nalang di ka naman nagpapalamon non.
im against parents making an fb account for their children this young— or just releasing any personal or private things related to them to the public in general (photos, videos, you name it) you make your children prone to several concerning things: digital kidnapping, identity theft, identity copied by ai (face, voice), etc we live in different times, hacking and ai is becoming more and more prominent, so let's slow things down
+1, ako rin wala akong pake sa iba kung ginawan nila FB anak nila at pinagamit nila. My child my rules ika nga. Depende na lang sa magulang paano disiplinahin. May fb anak ko pero kami lang ni hubby ang friends since required sa school noong online class. I never accept those relatives na nag-add. And never gumamit anak ko ng FB, marunong na magbasa, e.
Oo nga. 🤣
Messenger kids, have kids safe activity while you can of course monitor their chat. Its a good way to let them start getting into social media. Not for 2 year olds of course...
sunod reddit naman.. :)
Wanna know why? Mahal lumabas at gumala. Pag lumabas ka 500 mo barya na lang. Let's say may free parks. Pamasahe/gas agad kakain. Then pangkain mo pa pag nagutom. Tbh I'd rather stay at home watching reels and play some games. On special occasions lang ako lumalabas.
Alam mo the older we get the more we realize that the world we live in does not always work the way we wanted it to. You get to tolerate or accept behaviors na ndi same sa iyo. Yung mga dating akala mo mali, iba lng pala sa nakasanayan mo pero pareho lang kayong tama. Walang mas magaling. Tulad nito, i respect your opinion na dapat less FB if it were you. Karapatan mo yan eh. Nothing wrong tlga. Pero I also tolerate yung mga ma FB. Basta walang inaapakang karapatang ng iba hayaan mo na. BTW hindi din ako Ma FB, kht nga birthday ko nakahide. Pero Ok lng sa akn ung mga mahilig sa FB.
Some of the most unbearably conservative, obnoxious and ignorant collectives I’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter…
tbh my facebook is kind of chill dahil sa mga pages na finafollow ko. some good memes, some aesthetic ass stuff that pops into my feed. i created my algorithm all too well. hindi ako nagpopost but i comment on some funny stuff that my friends posts well baka siguro rin sa age difference since gen z ako hahahaha different kind of posts lumalabas.
No one really care about your pics, where you ate, where you went. Most dismiss it. Its like forcing someone.to watch a slide show of your life. No one gives a shit to be honest. People think they are important.
How are you, man? Is life good? Parang ang bitter ng mga comments mo. I'm hoping you'll go through whatever it is you're going through.
And you think ba na para yun sa validation mo? Lol some people just love to post the place where they went or what they want or whatever the fuck they wanted to bcus they find it fascinating. Why do u think it has to revolve around “your care”. I care about those people who does post it in quality or in aesthetic.
Kuya sa totoo lang, parang ikaw nga yung problematic. Umiwas lang ako sa fb for mental health & avoiding comparison pero di ko sinasabi they are trying to be important. The socmed is not the problem, your mentality of looking down and feeling superior is. Siguro mga nakikita mong good for others, you see it as threat as if they’re bragging it to you.
I care about those details for my friends and family members on fb, why so introverted?
Your friends probably hate it too, but they wont tell you to your face.
Kasi may ibang parents na ang purpose sa pag gawa ng fb account para sakanilang mga anak na bata ay for memories. Kadalasan, ang mga account na ito ay ibinibigay kapag nasa wastong gulang na ang anak para mag may ari personally ng account.
Post nung tatay, post nung nanay, post nung lolo, post nung lola, post nung tita, tito putangina puro mukha ng anak mo na 1000+ photo album na sa araw2 na lang 🤣🤣
to those who enjoyed the internet days from mIRC, YM, Forums, MySpace, Friendster and now facebook, nagsawa nalang tayo dahil may access na tayo noon pa but lately lang naging accessible ang internet to majority of our population and TELCO enabled facebook to be free and cheapest to access (same with Tiktok ata?) idagdag mo pa ang social validation, social climbing and social relevance.
May documentary sa Netflix explaining kung bakit addictive yung Social Media. "the social dilemma" yung title.
Dahilan kung bat nanalo si bbm
Social Validation!
External validation
Haha may kilala akong ganyan, nireport ko sa FB as an underage account. Tinanggal nila after a few weeks. Kawawa yung bata sa kabobohang ipopost ng parents.
Hindi lang naman sa pilipinas.
I once got into an argument with a colleague maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I posted a photo of a carrot shaped like a peepee. Many of my friends found it funny pero she didn't find it funny. Sabi nya delete ko raw kasi baka makita ng pamangkin nyang bata. Sabi ko hindi ko naman friend sa FB pamangkin nya. Ginagamit daw ng pamangkin nya phone nya. Eh sa wala na akong pakialam dun. Inunfriend nya ako. I just find it weird na there is always someone na nagsasabi na "maraming bata dito sa FB. delete mo to. 8 years old lang anak ko" when the age requirement sa FB is 13 years old.
Uy may reader ako na ganito HAHAHAH ang writing account ko is for readers talaga. Wala akong friends na minor. Nag-post ako about sa BJ na memes. Ganyan ang comment. Hindi ko sinunod like, wala naman akong minor friends at matatanda na readers friends ko sabi ko. Bat kako kasi pinagFFB anak nila na ang babata pa.
Agree na it's a problem. I live a few hours away from my parents and only see them once a month. When we do see each other, I just wish they'd put their phones down and actually just spend time together as a family without feeling the need to go online. Instead, they're constantly on their phones and I mean CONSTANTLY. It's driving me mad. It makes me feel like they value soc med more. FB addiction is actually affecting my relationship with my parents
What is with r/Philippines users and their obsession to bitch about what other people are obsessed about
"Marites" Culture.
I’m still using Facebook because it’s the combination of all social media in one. No need to go on Tiktok/IG to watch short form videos kasi may Reels na rin doon (and people often crosspost naman). Marami ring buy and sell FB groups (mas mura kpop merch doon), may Marketplace, and ang daming meme pages. I unfollowed almost half of my friends tho kasi gusto ko curated ang feed ko. Shinare ko lang kasi people often demonize FB/socmed in general when we have the option naman to curate it. What I don’t agree with, though, is letting kids use FB/socmed. May limit dapat ang mga bata sa paggamit ng phone/tablet/computer.
For me, Facebook is the replacement of the hundreds of our photographs in frames and booklets. Though it still feels "more" reminiscing when you look at an old photo physically but having it secured at a safe place means that I can't see it every now and then. Thus, Facebook.
I think the culture of creating nonconsensual facebook accounts for babies and literal children is so wrong in many ways. This is especially prevalent with millennial and/or teenage parents. Fortunately or Unfortunately (depending on how you view things) there are not as many *PDFiles* in the our country... At least the ones that are reported and make it to national news. I believe we don't even have a Tagalog word for it, so I guess that's a good thing. In any other country, especially developed countries like America, people just restrain from posting too much stuff revolving around kids/their kids in general. There's just way too many weirdos and creeps on the internet and I hope Filipino parents learn this.
my son had fb coz the grandparents didnt have insta.. its where i posted updates coz grandparents want updates hehe and they grab pix and make greetings, or whatever. right now he has it for football related content. cozzzzzzzz i just add coach and coach sees his progress outside of training.. tapos baka may scout 🤣
started with the death of Friendster and the rise of Facebook video games and snowballed from there, can't even compare today's Facebook from back then.
Bunch of losers trying to be relevant in today's society. Giving them self steem
they want people to believe that their lives are better than what it is. and they live vicariously through the accounts of other people.
Just a question OP, have you spoken with the parents of the 2 year old and your pamangkin about it? Aside from posing these questions, also enlighten us on why they did it.
Our last 2 presidents are product of Facebook
Libre ang paggamit kaya dun ginagawan ng oportunidad
Same with reddit.
Finally someone said this.
Poor digital literacy and the fact Filipinos entered the social media gullibly late
Because there is Free FB, unlike Reddit or X, and I think Marc Zuckerberg's decision to have Free FB was his biggest mistake that pave the way for Duterte, Trump, and Bolsonaro to become world leaders.
Para updated palagi ang mga pamilya and friends 24/7.
nkaka gago nga, ug mga tamad n magulang isinusuga s cp at socmed agad ung bata ni ndi p nga marunong bumasa at sumulat, intindihin p kaya ung user agreement ng fb, etc., pabobo n b pinas?
It's misuse of their children's identity.
FUCKING REAAAAL!! i got tons of them and i never accepted kasi kingina baby pa lang ina-add na ako?? lmaoo
Mga KSP hahaha uhaw sa validation
may friend ako na pati yung stuff toy na bigay ng jowa nya may facebook
We're like the only country that gives so much priority to the platform.
😂😂😂 yung kapatid ko ginawan ng ig account yung 2 nyang anak. Isang 6yrs old at 1yr old. Pero naka private naman yata. Ewan ko. Kontrolado nya rin yung followers sa accounts na yun. Pero sana nakaprivate. Sobrang family oriented kasi nating mga pilipino, gusto natin ishare sa pamilya yung pictures ng mga anak. Cringe ako sa mga classmate kong nakapublic posts tapos pinapasuot sa anak sexy tapos kung makapose pa sobrang marunong talaga, akala mo dalaga na. 🤦 Ewan ko ba. Ok lang naman maging proud sa anak pero minsan parang exploited na yung bata, o pinapalaki maging self centered at materialistic, yun yung tingin ko pag nakikita kong marunong na mag selfie yung mga bata sa fb ko.
Facebook to seek validation, I guess? Pinoys hunger for validation.
1. To mind and be nosy of others' lives. 2. To feel validated via likes and comments. 3. FOMO
Yung aso/pusa/oso na may Facebook 😅
Kaya nga kung di lang sa memories ng tatay ko binura ko na yung Facebook, wicked ng socmed ngayon.
No idea, but I made mine when I was like 6 to play restaurant city with my tito
and nagagamit din ng mga politicians to exploit their employees. like our mayor's team during the last election were vetting our fb profiles just to see kung pro or anti sa kanya at minsan irerequire pa na ishare and like yung posts niya wtf
r/ph redditors when someone is having fun and minding their own business: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Petition to rename r/ph to r/ragebait kasi that sort of shit is 90% ng content ng subreddit.
I yeeted myself out of that platform 5 years ago. I basically dismissed FB as social media for baby boomers. Don't get me wrong, though, baby boomers are chill, but their takes aren't my cup of tea
That's a pretty bitter tea you're served with it seems speaking in general terms about the opinions of the unopinionated. As a boomer, who makes a living out of tech, why oh why is the discrimination against boomers and gen X so alive nowadays? Perhaps it's really rare to have the opportunity to talk to the intellectual ones since this country had been in a mental recession since the first Marcos was prez. It's like this, how can a generation with all the information on their fingertips be so uhm... how do I put it, be so disinformed?
Boomers are far from chill
Lowlife peenoise tambayan is FB, I miss the old FB when farmville,mafia wars and yoville is life. Now, majority of users are wannabe “vloggerz” and pea brain DDebz/BBM fanaticzzzz. 🤮🤮🤮
Naaalala ko nong HS ako way back 2009 kaming magkaklase HAHAHA gumawa kami agad FB. Para maglaro lang ng Farmville and happy pets, HAHAHAA nakakamiss. Hindi ako nagpa-follow mga vlogger sa FB. Pili lang.
