“Filipino grocery store in Daly City draws crowds with late-night parties”
That totally surprised me. One of the characters in #Wednesday S02 is a #Filipino. It's not obvious if you don't understand our language.
For Filipinos, you'll see it.
For non-Filipinos, look for a text message scene in S02E06, that's the character.
What it is like to be a #Filipino ? Why is it More Fun In The #Philippines ?
If you're a foreigner, there's nothing new with detained people winning in an #elections here in the #Philippines.
If you're a local #Filipino and you were surprised by this, I guess this was the first time you voted or paid attention? Welcome to #PHpols kabayan!
Thanks to the #KKK the #Philippines gained its independence from Spain—after more than 300 years of oppression.
Today marks the 127th #Independence of the #Filipino nation.

Now I am curious, what's our #Filipino word for #Fediverse and #SocialWeb ?
So far, I these for potential Filipino translation of "Fediverse":
- bigkisberso (bigkis + uniberso)
- sansinukob = used in Filipino astronomy and literature to refer to the "universe" (I personally like this one)
- bukob (buklod + sukob) = just my invention
Other suggestions?
Since we're talking about the Filipino language (not Tagalog language), this means all Philippine languages are valid. We can combine them together, even use the 6th vowel /ë/.
But how about "Social Web"?
I was told that the Filipino for "Internet" is "daigbatan". I'm just not sure though since I can't find information on "batan" other than:
- Original name of Bataän was Batan, a Spanish word for "log" (🪵) which the province was named after by the Spaniards.
- The Ivatan people call themselves in the Ivatan language as "Batan". (Yes, Batanes = Isles of [the] Batan [people]. Batan + Isles (just my theory, but it makes logical sense 😝))
So, I'm not sure why "Internet" is "daigbatan".
My thought process is, "social web" could be:
- liponbatan = literally social network
- daiglipon = lit. world social; web social
Other suggestions?

It applies to #Filipino citizens & foreigners in the country. Blur people if you don't have their permission!

A famous #Filipino influencer—Kristine Roces of «RealAsianBeauty»—and two #Kpop idols from «withus» unknowingly crossed paths when they stopped to help her.

It is true that we were often told to sound like an American or an Australian or a British. Anything but to sound #Filipino.
I hate it and never obeyed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with «Philippine English» or `en-PH` in ISO.
I don't observe #Christmas but Merry Christmas #Philippines !
September 1st always mark the beginning of Christmas for the #Filipino people.
It's #HangeulDay ( #한글날 ). #Hangeul is a script that can be adopted & adapted for various languages far more precisely than Latin/Roman.
Here's Mabuhay Hangeul v1.0 (wip) for #Filipino in Hangeul. (v2 soon)
How the Modern Filipino Name Works
One might assume it is simply first name, middle name, and last name. It is not.

Filipinos: Celebrates birthdays of their dearly departed and death anniversaries are only a footnote.
World: Counts their dearly departed's death anniversary and birthdays are a footnote.
In the Filipino language (n.b. All Philippine languages!), a change in pronunciation changes the meaning of a word. Here's an example which is ambigous in written form without proper Filipino diacritics.
「Labi ng labi ang labi sa labi.」
「The Filipino language belongs to the people who speak it, not the books that dictate it.」
「A writing script is a reflection of the spoken language.」
Filipino-American software engineer, Zeu Caupa, talks about ATP—the protocol behind the ATmosphere social network where Bluesky is currently the largest app.
17 yrs ago today, I released a #Baybayin chart still shared today. This June 12, 2026, for #Philippines Independence Day, I'm releasing another language script for my fellow Filipinos: #SuratInawa or The Living Script!
Myth: Filipinos are Spanish & Pacific Islanders.
The DNA truth in the Philippines:
- 🧬 90-95% Austronesian
- 🇨🇳 3-5% East Asian (mostly Chinese)
- 🇪🇸 0-2% Spanish (mostly 0)
- 🏝️ 0% Pacific Islander (Melanesian)
We are Filipinos. We are brown. We are Asians. 🇵🇭 #Filipino #DNA #Philippines
How to write "drama" in Surat Inawa (The Living Script): 듸라마 (dra·ma). In Hangeul or Hangul, it's written as 드라마 (deu·ra·ma).

So, my @youronly.one.ofcl account was suspended because I logged-in to #Instagram side and added a verification code to an older selfie upload. Now I no longer have access to the large #Filipino #Threads community.
This is the second time already, the first was my original account `youronly.one` and no one from Instagram assisted even after I went through their Face Verification process thrice.
Anyone who can lend assistance to get my `youronly.one.ofcl` account reinstated and have it placed in some whitelist so their automation scripts are not hitting it with false positives? I rarely login to the Instagram side because I don't need it, the only reason I have it is because Threads originally required an Instagram account.
