Yo yo, EDSA Sep. 21 Protests, what do y’all think about it? Those who still remain in Lemmy, after all this time?

Ok sana protets maging regular event lang para magising yun mga nakaupo. Pero disappointed kasi yun iba gusto ng riot, di pwede peaceful sa kanila
Replying on October 17, the protests are not limited to the Sept 21 and subsequent rallies, apparently there are now spontaneous cries for justice in big community events. I am glad that we filipinos now see this not just as a scandal that will blow over, but something that permeates Filipino life. And the recent earthquakes in Mindanao was especially bitter… Debris from substandard projects (still under DPWH) had killed and injured some people, which is direct proof that these kurakots have silently murdered many people by their greed.
Sadly, these protests are all performative. Just photo-ops for celebrities and influencers for brownie points and clout.
Ideal scenario: Something actually happens — albeit only small potatoes get jailed and the few big wigs that do, would end up getting pardoned in 2028.
Likely scenario: Nothing happens. By 2026, we’ll all forget about this — same as Pharmally, Lost Sabungeros, Hacienda Luisita, Fertilizer Fund Scam — and get outraged about what new expose is revealed. Meanwhile, the “heroic” individuals in this whole brouhaha like Remulla, Dizon, Magalong, jettisons their popularity into national positions.
hmm i do hope that the other more… organized people keep up the attention and rhetoric but yeah what you said can still happen
I am not dead! I simply hibernated! But for real, I am checking out the lemmy here and as… expected, deserted. But, hey, it’s fine, surely we’ll have our resurgence in 20XX???
It’s gonna grow slowly as Reddit starts booting out some accounts deem as “violent”.
slowly but surely i guess
but the banned could potentially go and touch grass and never come back or idk.
Many liquid hand soap items say antibacterial. There’s no evidence that shows that antibacterial soap is better than plain soap. I hope there’ll be many soap items sans antibacterial agents.
Half the time /r/RedditPHCyclingClub/ has its fucking gatekeeping dickheads but in Lycra.
Cyclists and joggers are just as annoying as motorists, tbh. Kaya lakas ng tawa ko when that satire showed up on my feed of them (joggers pero you can easily replace it with cyclists just the same) complaining about UPCAT ruining their experience.
The reckless teen cyclists are ruining the rest of them, however.
Then certain egomaniacal cyclists who think they’re some Shonen Jump main character.
And motorcycles, don’t you forget that.
Not dead yet. Kicked out from spezland for just lurking.
Also, r/philippinesbad outing r/ph asshole posts and comments about controlling the lower classes.
Gleeful “FYGM” Am-Fil responding to some fake news.
