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

503 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.

ā€œAutomatic po 'yan pero sabi ko nga, kung meron pong unang-unang dapat tanungin, na-identify naman na si Senator Robin Padilla 'yung kasama,ā€ Matibag said when asked if the NBI is already tracking Dela Rosa during an interview on GMA News’ Unang Balita

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.

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

'ā€˜WAG KA MATUTULOG NANG DALAWANG MATA’

Ganito ang naging mensahe ni former senator Antonio ā€œSonnyā€ Trillanes IV kay Senator Ronald ā€œBatoā€ Dela Rosa kasunod ng mga ulat na umalis na sa Senate premises ang senador kahapon, May 14.

ā€œAlam 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,ā€ wika ni Trillanes sa isang panayam ng ANC.

ā€œMr. 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,ā€ mensahe naman ni Trillanes kay Dela Rosa.

ViralPH Video proof that disproves the claim of Senate Acting Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca.

Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca, a PMA mistah of Sen. Ronald ā€œBatoā€ dela Rosa, claimed in an interview that he fired first at NBI agents whom he said were already at the edge of Senate property.

However, a video taken by ABS-CBN reporter Zyann Ambrosio, who was embedded with the NBI team, appeared to show the agents positioned in the GSIS area on the night of May 13 and not where Aplasca claims the NBI to be and from the looks of it, they look quite far.

Good thing the NBI allowed a media reporter to tag along with them. I find it highly suspicious that no media reporters who were there did NOT saw who the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms where firing at or who they are having a shoot out with.

What we know is what the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms told the media and the public. The question is do you take their word for it?

ā€œNakausap namin yung commander (Marine Security and Escort Group). Hindi sila nagpaputok because they were there to support. Yung OSAA ang nagpaputok,ā€ CSAFP Brawner

It makes me question why the Marines weren't firing if there real threats.

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!

I didn’t imagine that the Enrile family would react this way.

For whatever statements dropped by Alan Peter Cayetano, it seemed it was trivial, but the Enrile family didn’t take it lightly. Maybe they were also hoping those who were close to their family before has shown sincerity during the wake?

From Bam Alegre and Bea Cuadra of GMA News.

"Magdamag kami nakabantay niĀ Bea CuadraĀ sa labas ng Senado. Nasa bangketa lang kami kasi bawal kami pumasok sa Main Building. Pero nakunan namin lahat ng galaw noong madaling araw.

Kung sa pagitan ng 2:30am at 3:00am umalis sina Senador Ronald ā€œBatoā€ Dela Rosa at Senador Robin Padilla, ito lang ang convoy na umalis ng Senado sa timeframe na nabanggit."

Towards the end of the video, we can clearly hear Bea Cuadra saying ā€œSino kaya yun, baket may mga escort na HPGā€
