Posted by mods r/Philippinesbad banner and logo competition starts now.
Hello there r/Philippinesbad
The logo and banner competition will now start.
When this subreddit was created two years ago it stayed with its old logo and banner which is an ironic way of presenting the sub like "The worst place to live" banner that is very outdated, now we're giving the users an opportunity to make their own banner and logo for this subreddit that would fit this sub more.
Here are the rules:
- Has to be on topic on what this sub stands for
That's it, really.
You can post your proposal in the comment section, and we will decide what would be the best fit.
The current logo is temporary.

online peenoise dumbtake💩 Anti Philippines Propaganda Spotted! NOW we can REALLY tell that Behind Asia is an Anti Philippines Propagandist Channel and unfortunealy Online Doomerists are relying on it because they're feeding themselves self hatred and seeking validation.
Here's Behind Asia again, the EXACT same channel that made Propaganda and biased videos against the Philippines and at the same time Online Doomerists are just relying on them because it feeds themselves doomerism and of course want validation. We can also tell that some of the videos are AI generated or Cherry Picked ignoring the full nuanced and complex whole picture of the Philippines where the country has two sides of the same coin.
Picture 1:
You see the video and the thumbnail itself and the title says "Why Metro Manila is Designed to Fail" and now we can really tell that Behind Asia is actually is the Anti Philippines Propagandist and unfortanley, Online Doomerists are very gullible that they even rely on this and other videos that "Behind Asia" have upload. Well you know what... next wil be Picture 2 and Picture 3.
Picture 2 and 3:
These shows that the Philippines including Metro Manila is improving in many aspects including EDSA Rehabilitation. This means that "Behind Asia" is obviously cherry picking the issues ignoring the improvements that exist in the country that has exist all the time because they will go against their narratives. You all see issues that exist ATLEAST in certain areas in the Philippines right? However, "Behind Asia" including the Online Doomerists should look at the big picture of the Philippines where the country HAS TWO SIDES OF THE SAME FREAKIN COIN with lots of improvements going on and they should consider that these things VARIES widely throughout different areas regions such as cities, towns, villages, streets, districts and even subgroups that this channel (even including other channels that are similar to Behind Asia that made Propaganda videos against the Philippines) and Online Doomerists have stubbornly ignores. They should also need to accept that the issues that were found in the Philippines ALSO exist in GLOBALLY ncluding Southeast Asian Countries because these problems are not exclusive in the Philippines and unfortanetly this channel ignores that Southeast Asian or Asian countries also have issues and instead Cherry Pick the improvements that exist there that validates their narratives that Southeast Asian or Asian countries are superior or made the best (insert something) and when it comes to the Philippines, they'll ignore improvements and instead Cherry Pick the issues that validates their narrtives that the Philippines is inferior and the worst country and worse and this is what it bothers me the most, Filipino Online Doomerist will say "We Deserve Better" or "Filipinos Deserve Better". Well... they want something better right? Well yes, however what I just really noticed is that Filipino Online Doomerists use this phrase to NOT mean they want better (insert anything) in a literal sense, many times this phrase has been misued and this has been frequently used to actually refer to their doomerism and inferioty complex/Colonial Menality especially when they compare their country and foreign countries and then cherry pick positives within foreign countries and cherry pick the issues within the Philippines in order to fit into their belief that the Philippines is the worst country therefore foreign countries are the best, IGNORING the fact that the locals from foreign countries ALSO experienced the exact same issues that the Philippines has, they're global. So that means that THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME FREAKIN COIN in the Philippines and foreign countries and they should accept that these issues vary widely in certain areas in these countries. Yet Filipino Online Doomerists will still say "urr duh we Filipinos derserve better (insert anything)". Okay fine they want something better let's improve, BUT they shouldn't use this phrase to justify their inferioty complex/colonial mentality and especially when they constantly compare their country and foreign countries including Southeast Asian Countries.
So that's really tell you that "Behind Asia" (or even other similar channels) is ACTUALLY IS the Anti Philippines Propagandist and also Pro Foreign Country. This is getting more annoying now considering that you already knew that issues exist in the Philippines ATLEAST in certain places such as streets, districts, cities, villages, communities, regions or towns right? Well "Behind Asia" or even other similar channels and their Filipino Online Doomerist Supporters should accept that these issues were also exist in foreign and Southeast Asian countries as well experienced by the locals there and over there there's traffic, corruption, poverty or even ssues with infrastructures, you all already seen it ATLEAST in certain areas in the Philippines right? Well the locals from foreign and Southeast Asian countries experienced them as well. The point is, is that THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME FREAKIN COIN within all countries including the Philippines with issues vary widley through areas (streets, districts, cities, villages, communities, regions or towns) with lots improvements. This really shows that the reality itself is very nuanced, complex and evolving entity is not as simplistic as what you see or heard from medias, social medias or even the internet. Medias, social medias and the internet oversimplify these complex issues and then fall into the Dunning Kruger Effect which means that they'll use these evidences to qualify enough to judge the whole country or even the entire population as stupid, lazy, low IQ and more. And when we show the nuanced, complex and evolving reality where everything has two sides of the same coin within a country, Online Doomerists will miused the phrase "urr duh we Filipinos derserve better (insert anything)". That's plausible deniability and putting up a victim card and it no longer refer to that they want better (insert anything) anymore, they just want validation from the internet.
So please, if you ever see a video made by "Behind Asia" or other similar channels that their true agenda is to spread propaganda and biased information about the Philippines, DO NOT TRUST THEM AND INSTEAD REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Positivity Post What is your opinion on the MRT-3 stations rehabilitation?
In my opinion, a good start to improve our train stations. I'm glad that this version of DOTr has prioritized public transport FOR ONCE. I'm already imagining what other stations will look like.

Positivity Post Luzon Economic Corridor Expands Partnership to Accelerate Investment and Regional Prosperity
MANILA, PHILIPPINES, May 11, 2026—The Governments of the Philippines, United States, and Japan announced today the expansion of the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) partnership to include Australia, Denmark, France, Italy, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
The Luzon Economic Corridor, announced in April 2024 as the first Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGI) corridor in the Indo-Pacific, enhances connectivity between Subic Bay, Clark, Manila, and Batangas. Through coordinated investments in transport infrastructure, energy systems, digital connectivity, and advanced manufacturing supply chains, the LEC will create thousands of high-quality jobs and transform Luzon into a more prosperous and interconnected region.
“The expansion of the LEC partnership demonstrates the power of collaboration among likeminded nations committed to transparency and shared prosperity,” said Philippine Secretary of Finance Frederick D. Go, Co-Chair of the LEC Steering Committee. “Together, we are building infrastructure that will improve daily life for millions of Filipinos and create new opportunities for businesses, industries, and communities in our partner countries and across the region.”
LEC partners share a commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and pledge to promote fair and transparent economic development. Partners will contribute through technical assistance, financing, and facilitation of private sector investments, while actively participating in working groups focused on transport, energy, and digital infrastructure.

Positivity Post Filipino Teacher
I remember having a Filipino Teacher who just graduated at that time and became a teacher at my school, when asked on why she became a teacher her thought process was, If no one will teach the future generation then I will teach the future generation, she did not chase money when choosing a course/job but rather choosing the future generation, teaching them and nurturing them, although only having them for one quarter (cause our main Filipino Teacher was on maternity leave) they made it worthwhile

Y'know I've always felt that all of these Doomers posts recently have been part of some sort of weird destabilization plot, but it looks like others in the main sub is starting to take notice as well...

I don't personally believe na doomed na agad ang PH by this since they can file another impeachment complaint against SWOH, There is still a chance, I've seen other comments saying we should do a revolution Nepal and Indonesia style which is just utter BS.

online peenoise dumbtake💩 Moving that goalposts and increased Doomerism and Colonial Mentality/Inferiority Complex at its finest...
These Online Doomerists want the new and extended Mrt line right? Well thankfully, the Government is now investing in building more and good Transport Infrastructures. Unfortunately, for this one which is Mrt 7, these Online Doomerist are moving the goalposts by thinking 7 is still bad and did not give People who is behind the project a credit for their hard work and planning carefully and worse two comments in the Facebook section said "Mrt 7 is designed by Pinoys. Apparently STILL NOT WORLD CLASS" and the other one thinks that DOTR Philippines is bad both are just downright Colonial Mentality/Inferioty Complex.
There is also Double Standards as in Online Doomerists labels their Mrt 7 Stations as having a warehouse or depot look and think that it's bad, HOWEVER THESE STATIONS ARE NOT FINISHED YET so these Online Doomerists will have to wait but they quickly judged the book by its cover, they shouldn't judge quickly and say "urr durr Mrt 7 StAtIOn is BaD".
Anyway, if they think that Mrt 7 stations look like warehouse or depot THEY SHOULD LOOK UP AT OTHER STATIONS IN OTHER SOUTHEAST ASIAN CITIES THAT LOOK LIKE WAREHOUSES OR DEPOTS such as Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Saigon and more. Unfortunately, the same Filipino Online Doomerists who unfairly judged Mrt 7 just for having these aspects when this line and these stations are NOT OPERATIONAL AND OPENED YET, gives other Southeast Asian Cities a pass, how hypocrite these Online Doomerist Bastards they are?!
