I'm starting to think the reason why this isn't doing well in the Philippines is because of the same reason why Pinoys can't seem to accept Carlos Yulo's Olympic achievements: The annoying "utang na loob" mentality (which they're still attacking Liza Soberano for until today).

This birth certificate captures the origin of the surname ‘Prevost’. It was Pope Leo’s grandmother’s cover story in a Catholic mother and baby home, to conceal a birth out of wedlock. His grandfather was already married to someone else.

Filipinos claiming Forgotten Island is not “gawang Pinoy” is so funny because, my love, quiet as it’s kept, a HUGE amount of global animation and CGI work is contributed by Filipino artists. Filipino animators are up there alongside Filipino nurses and seafarers jsyk.

DreamWorks' “Forgotten Island” is a bombastically giddy and stylistic cool animated feature with themes steeped in Filipino folklore. It’s arguably the best animated feature this year with terrific voice work by H.E.R., Liza Soberano and Dave Franco and songs that give the movie a super kinetic poppy energy. This celebration of friendship and the importance of memories feels like the first time you ate a piece of candy. Yes, it's that good. #ForgottenIsland #HER #LizaSoberano #DaveFranco

“The numbers of Filipinos still inside Myanmar scam compounds can be measured in the thousands as organized crime restructures its operations further inland.”
The current scam compound phenomenon has its roots in the Philippines dating back to 2016, when Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators, commonly known as POGOs, took hold buff.ly/DrnVKPu

Video games, even violent ones, are protected by freedom of expression (See, e.g., Brown v EMA, 564 U.S. 786). Adults have right to access such games, blanket ban justified in protecting children presumptively unconstitutional on account of overbreadth. facebook.com/share/p/16LijoJ…

Strict scrutiny test applies in determining if a content-based ban is justified, requiring a compelling state interest (and not just an important one) and narrow tailoring of the means employed (i.e., there is no other way) to ensure that compelling state interest.

It should be an embarrassment to the entire conservative movement that a self-proclaimed socialist did this instead of them.
Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @MetOpera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe’s managing editor said it was “by far our best performing story of the year,” and appears to be “on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records.”
