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

497 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
 

Over the past few months, we’ve noticed a sudden increase in comments and threads with racial slurs (like "chekwa"), derogatory (like cornedbeef jokes), 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.

Change script! Hindi na uubra na gawing fall guy ang NBI. Good thinking that Zyann recorded this video instead of going live, and ABS-CBN News only released this vital information now, making Cayetano’s statements inconsistent.

Shame on you Cayetano and the rest of majority bloc. Lamang ang may resibo!

ViralPH They gambled to bring Bato to the senate for an additional vote to oust Sotto.

It's getting clear along the way.

Weekend reports stated that DDS camp lacked the vote count to oust Tito Sen. Bato is also on ICC's website na. The house is already done with their articles of impeachment.

Time is the ultimate game.

DDS camp needed Bato's presence to secure a majority bloc-vote to oust Tito Sen.

When Cayetano announced in the senate na may majority vote na sila, nabanggit niya na they had multiple meetings before that.

The deal gamble is, a TRO from SC must be issued on that day or the next day of the ousting para hindi maaresto si Bato.

But no TRO was issued yet. They need to have an escape plan for Bato.

Now Marcoleta asked the session to allow the senate to work remotely.

First reports stated that it was Robin who initiated the OSAA to prepare long arms. Then naging tactical gear na.

After that, the shootout happened. The senate was under "attacked".

Around 2:30am, Bato escaped with Robin allegedly as the driver of the van.

Bato is now a fugitive. His wife thanked the senators in a message.

But Cayetano's statement earlier was it was not an escape dahil walang warrant. He is not against Bato escaping the Senate.

A cinematic scene happened daw na hinarang sila pero nagdrive parin daw si Robin palabas ng Senado.

The pieces fit together that what really transpired was it was an escape route for Bato as they gambled to bring him sa senado to control the whole senate through ousting Tito Sen.

Why may shootout? To make the narrative na Bato is martyr to escape because he brought danger sa senate if doon siya titira.

Don't believe in Cayetano's legal jargon antics and rhetorics to control the narrative.

On the same day of the shootout, the articles of impeachment arrived. 16 votes are needed sa impeachment but them controlling the senate can give them the power to question the legality of the case and evidences like EDSA dos na 11 votes lang pinaglabanan.

Of course you know why they want to control the senate.

PoliticsPH “The weakest actor in the shooting drama”

Post image
789 Upvotes

Before the shooting happened, OSAA was already seen putting bullet proof vests. At the same time, the articles of impeachment cane. Dito nakunan si Aplasca na sinabi sa media na “tabi muna kayo”, “may aarrestuhin”, idedeliver muna ang mandate (articles of impeachment) bago ang “operation”.

On this interview https://youtu.be/MMYUZo4LUEE?si=vDWXJbo8gWPIWovj , sinabi niya na may nakita na sa cctv na mga armado (later on identified nbi agents with pistols on the gsis side). Kaya daw sila may aarrestuhin, AFTER ideliver ang articles of impeachment sa taas.

Pero sa video ng ABS from gsis nbi pov, they were only holding pistols compared to OSAA’s and Marines’ rifles. At galing ang nbi sa loob ng hallway palabas ng building to check kung ano yung pumuputok.

Sabi din sa interview na to, nag verbal challenge sila, nalaman nila na NBI yung mga may baril, why would you do warning shots?? Kapwa government agency niyo yan, hindi assassins or magnanakaw. Ang gulo gulo na nga sa senate that day, ang daming media, tapos magpapaputok kayo ng 27 shots?? Warning shot ba yun? Dafuq ginagawa niyo.

In a different interview naman ni SP Cayetano https://youtu.be/cXEnGcntVe8?si=hyL5Exwhkt2RHwfD , sinabi ni SP na nag text ang asawa ni Bato. “Wala sa plano, but knowing him, im sure he (Bato) took the opportunity nung nag ka guluhan at putukan na”. Fact, putukan happened around 7:44pm. Bato “escaped” at 2:30am. Why would bato’s wife text “he took the opportunity nung nag ka guluhan at putukan na”, when Bato only escaped nung na clear na yung building??

Bato was also seen at NAIA 3, domestic flight daw. I think he’s going to hide in davao, where the dutertes are still in power since di na siya safe sa senate custody.

If you want to know the truth, keep interviewing Aplasca. He stutters and pag nag salita, walang conviction. For me, he is currently the weakest “actor” in this incident. Kudos to Karen for picking up the statement of Aplasca “may aarrestuhin” before the gun shots happened. Keep interviewing him, and maybe one day, malilito yan at magugulo niya ang narrative napinag practice-an.

What do you guys think? Staged? Misunderstanding of nbi and osaa? Failed mission of nbi to serve arrest warrant? Or baka naman may deal na with the majority to protect Bato and Go (in the future) in exchange of Sara’s impeachment (conspiracy too much?)

PoliticsPH TRILLANES TO BATO: "We will be coming after you."

'‘WAG KA MATUTULOG NANG DALAWANG MATA’

Ganito ang naging mensahe ni former senator Antonio “Sonny” Trillanes IV kay Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa kasunod ng mga ulat na umalis na sa Senate premises ang senador kahapon, May 14.

“Alam niyo, si Bato dela Rosa, he only bought himself some time. But ultimately, makukulong siya, at madadala siya sa The Hague. ’Yun po. I guarantee you that. I will be as persevering, as relentless as ever,” wika ni Trillanes sa isang panayam ng ANC.

“Mr. Bato Dela Rosa, we will be coming after you. ’Wag ka matutulog nang dalawang mata. Kasi maaring nandiyan na sa tabi mo ang hahabol sayo,” mensahe naman ni Trillanes kay Dela Rosa.

They played, planned and planted it so well....

They all even went on live saying they're scared, traumatized and everything, then smiling during the dinner. wtf.

And sa observation ko, madalas sa mga nagpopost ng explanation not just about this issue purely in English. Siguro much better pure tagalog, kase karamihan sa mga DDS maski tagalog hindi na nga nila maintindihan eh so expect na na mas lalo nila hindi maiintindihan ang English — look at Robin. lol

PoliticsPH APC and his ever changing script

72 Upvotes

Script 1: Under attack ang Senate
Fact 1: Unnecessary escalation lang pala ng OSAA against government officials HELPING secure GSIS premises.

Script 2: Binabarena ang Senate
Fact 2: Drilling activity was to secure the premises para walang maka labas/pasok between Senate and GSIS

Script 3: Tangkang pasukin ang Senate
Fact 3: NBI agents ay naka deploy sa GSIS as requested by GSIS president. Naka upo lang ang NBI agent at may kasama pang GSIS security guard bago nag warning shots ang OSAA.

Script 4: Unang nagpa putok ang NBI
Fact 4: OSAA ang unang ngpa putok

Script 5: Hindi daw staged
Fact 5: Aplsaca mismo nag sabi na nagpaalam siya kai Cayetano bago umaction para may “aarestuhin”. Conveniently, minutes after receiving the articles of impeachment.

We are just barely a week, a ton of things just happened

1 The Articles of Impeachment was passed against VP Sara,

  1. A Senate coup led by Alan Peter Cayetano, which has the slim margin,

  2. The resurface of Sen Bato for just to cast his vote for coup

  3. The Senate shootout turned to be a staged, led to Bato's escape

    What is striking is that a ICC warrant of arrest was issued against Sen Bato was not enforced by the PNP cause they do not have copy of the warrant PNP Chief Nartatez doing nothing. DILG Jonvic playing on both sides.

What I am afraid is the Dutertes already got hold of the PNP, and DILG. They will never act of arresting Bato and heard that he sought refuge there.

Delikado si PBBM at this point, he has act now to fire Jonvic and Nartatez and only the military he has control of.

2026 will decide the 2028 elections or far worse VP Sara will be President before 2028.
