I can't even volunteer for Greenpeace PH because they organize on FB, Messenger and WhatsApp. I also can't book a doctor's appointment in a government hospital because that can only be done via FB. I can't support small businesses online because they are only on FB or IG. As a Meta-free Filipino, I feel so left out.

High food prices and poor transport infrastructure in the PH have made domestical travel expensive to Filipinos. The PH is the largest domestic tourism market in Southeast Asia. #Philippines #Asian #Travel #TootSEA #Tourism @npub1uqw…74jm https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/2/7/foreign-travel-seen-as-cheaper-than-domestic-trip-2003 npub1r4vy5n7xd6wqfm6taa9cpvwyrnwk7f2am59yfttswdvct8ctfnhs2akkch JiKo The Netflix K-drama "Love Scout" is better than "When the Phone Rings." #Hallyu #Kdrama #Netflix #Korean #Asian #LoveScout #HanJimin #RomCom #Drama #TVseries #WhenThePhoneRings #ChaeSoobin @npub1qrd…xn7w @npub17vz…h6ur https://asianwiki.com/Love_Scout npub1r4vy5n7xd6wqfm6taa9cpvwyrnwk7f2am59yfttswdvct8ctfnhs2akkch JiKo With what's happening in the United States, this could be a good time to call for breaking the American dominance in tech: Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Canada and Mexico have already started to fight back. npub1r4vy5n7xd6wqfm6taa9cpvwyrnwk7f2am59yfttswdvct8ctfnhs2akkch JiKo USAID projects in the PH, including ones helping people living with HIV get free treatment, are now in danger of being defunded. Some of my Filipino friends working in USAID might lose their jobs.

It will not be received well outside of South Korea, so if they do become popular, it will probably be confined to the country. Keeping that name is setting up the group for failure.
