For everything related to the #Philippines and #Filipino see:
Has been around for a year or so now as a back-up but now it is the go to group.
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?

HEY #DUTCH people‼️ Do something about this!
> He has always felt he was being treated unfairly, but this was something else. “We had a Dutch chief engineer, he suffered a heart attack as I suffered a stroke, he was immediately airlifted. A helicopter took him to the shore in Florida to get immediate medical attention. Because he’s Dutch.”

We treat foreigners as human beings and equals (even in job) here in the Philippines, and this is how our own people are treated abroad⁉️ Let me guess, you treat animals far better, right?

Eight different ways to say “How do you do?” | “How are you?” in #Filipino #language + a sample of #Pilipino #Hangeul .
1. I found a way to write the #Filipino leading sound /ŋ/ (Ng̃) in #Hangeul by “reviving” an obsolete Jamo.
(NOTE: the samples below are using the Pilipino Hangeul [work-in-progress] adaption/rules.)
Ex:
* ᅌᅡ욘 (nga·yon) = EN: today
* ᅌᅵ삔 (ngi·pin) = EN: tooth
2. I also separated (R) and (L), like how they did in the #Ciacia language.
Same character: ᄙ
Ex:
* 빠다ᄙᅡᆺ닷 (pa·ta·las·tas) = EN: commercial
* ᄙᅡ밧 (la·bas) = EN: outside; go out (depending on usage)
3. I was thinking of using another obsolete Jamo (ᅏ) for the /t͡s/ (Ts) sound, but ㅊ /t͡ɕʰ/ (Ch) can fulfill that role as well.
Ex:
* 차차 (cha·cha) = short form of “charter change”; or the dance chacha.
* 초꼬라데 (tso·ko·la·te) = EN: chocolate
* 차아 (tsa·a) = EN: tea
4. Ññ (enye) is, for now, transliterate.
5. For the Kr sound, like in “krus”, maybe we can use ㅋ since we don't have a /kʰ/ (Kh) sound in Filipino.
6. Vowels like Filipino “Ee” which can be either /ɛ/ (ae) or /e/ (e).
This one is tricky because the Filipino “Ee” sound can change depending on, for example, a person want to deliver a word with endearment, but the meaning never changes. So an /e/ sound can become an /ɛ/ sound, while retaining its meaning.
I actually had no idea about this “Ee” /e/ (e) vs /ɛ/ (ae). The way Filipino vowels are taught in school is simply, well, /e/ (e). But the more I read online resources, the more I learn that we do make an /ɛ/ (ae) sound for the same vowel! How crazy is that?!
Anyway…
See: https://sheet.zohopublic.com/sheet/published/l99bm2e24906e3db84e69bb509d5a4cbfb4ec
What do you think?
#LearningFilipino #MatutoMagFilipino
Two of the members of the new K-pop "idol" group, UNIS / U&iS, are pure Filipino, they are "Elisia" and Gehlee.
But how do you pronounce their names?
If you write their names in Hangul, you can get the pronunciation correctly.
* Elisia = 엘리시아 = e·li·si·a = eh-lee-si-ah (not e-lai-sha)
* Gehlee = 젤리 = je·li = je-lee (sounds like jelly)
---
P.S. Happy Birthday Elisia!
Or, in Filipino, Maligayang Kaarawan Elisia!
* Maligaya (ma-lee-ga-ya) = happy
* Kaarawan (ka-ah-ra-wan) = birthday, anniversary
"Maligayang kaarawan", when used in context to refer to a single person, is generally understood as "happy birthday".

More and more Filipinos I personally know are earthquake ready. Today, even more are + war ready too.
Q1: Are you #earthquake ready?
Q2: Are you #war ready?
Have you prepared these?
1. Flashlights. (Ones with batteries, not USB.)
2. Batteries. (Include rechargables.)
3. Instant food (especially those with very long expiry dates; yes, not healthy, but…)
4. Drinking water.
5. Traditional radios. (Preferably ones that can be recharged so you can reserve your batteries for other purposes.)
6. Two-way radios (a.k.a. walkie-talkie).
7. Backpacks, belt bags.
8. Maps and compass. Do you also know how to read maps and use a compass?
9. Escape routes.
10. Do you know which places were marked for emergencies?
Some of the people I know also have generators, gas, and bunkers already. Yes, bunkers in the Philippines (oh, and guns, really).
Don't rely on electronic gadgets. The first things to go fast are electricity supply and communication network.
Remember there are 3 major fault lines in Luzon.
1. East Valley Fault System
2. West Valley Fault System (100+ km long; from Angat Dam to Luzon-Batangas boundary)
3. Manila Trench. On the West Philippine Sea, running from Northern Luzon to near Mindoro Island.
We haven't even considered the 1,200-km Philippine Fault System (which itself is major too, but we rarely hear about it). It runs from Northern Luzon to Southern Mindanao.
Then the currently unstable and volatile China issue, which, as I've talked about previously, can easily turn into a major regional or world war.
Are you ready, or, “bahala na si Bathala” again?

The most accepted theory about migrations in Southern and Eastern #AsiaPacific is #Austronesian.
From #Taiwan, to the #Philippines, and then the rest of #SouthEastAsia, #Micronesia, #Melanesia, #Polynesia, and as far as #Madagascar.
If I'm going to interpret this, the natives of Taiwan survived as the primary people in what we know today as the Philippine archipelago. From the Philippines, they spread everywhere.
In other words, they're all #Filipino! ᜑᜑᜑᜑ 😹 (Or, native Taiwanese to be exact.)

The barong tagalog is traditional, Pilipino formal wear and one of the country's national garments. My folks recently visited the homeland and the only pasalubong I wanted was a barong to replace my old one. They brought home two and I love them!
I requested that an icosahedron be incorporated into the design somehow to represent my love of RPGs. The design is subtle but present. Looking forward to wearing these!
#barong #tagalog #pilipino #formalwear #d20 #tabletop #rpg #dice #pinoy #dmlife
Another kicker: the guerilla network was filled with politics too. There were even cross-camp battles! Imagine that!
The Philippine guerilla network was not an organised entity or anything. It was multiple cells working independently of each other.
The reason Imperial Japan failed to dismantle it was exactly that, they're working as independent cells. Each guerilla camp, more often than not, was not aware of each other.
And once they discover each other's presence, that's when politics begin. Both camps want to absorb each other. Or, one camp wants to keep the status quo.
This Filipino-style guerilla warfare became a hot subject later. It was later called "cells", and often used by the military, spy agencies, and terrorists.
Yes, the "cells" set up originated from Philippine guerillas during #WorldWar2 . Cells are independent. Cells are not aware of each other. And the only time they communicate is if there's a dire need, like when General Douglas MacArthur planned on going back, the entire guerilla network worked together for the first time (they shipped the armaments sent by MacArthur).
---
You wouldn't find it in schoolbooks. I learned this from two sources:
1. My war veteran grandfather.
2. Sometime 2015-2017 when I visited the "Quezon Memorial Museum" in Quezon City, Philippines.
#WW2 #WWII #History #Philippines #guerilla #warfare #Pilipinas #Filipino #Pilipino
Here's the kicker.
This relationship between the Philippines and mainland China, continued up to #WorldWarII . Funds and arms flowed between the Philippine guerilla network and mainland China, to fight against Imperial Japanese forces.
Douglas MacArthur was even surprised that there was a strong guerilla network in the entire Philippine archipelago! He was recorded saying that because of this network, they were able to quickly land in the Philippines to retake it.
The guerilla network succeeded because both Filipinos and Chinese (and some Americans who were trapped in the country) helped each other.
Whenever China needed help because the Imperial Japanese forces were pushing inland, the Filipino guerilla network will send money and arms. And then the Chinese did the same for the Philippine guerillas.
The Imperial Japanese forces tried very hard to dismantle the guerilla network, but they failed.
#WW2 #WWII #History #Philippines #guerilla #warfare #Pilipinas #Filipino #Pilipino
Here's another thing most are not aware of: Mainland Chinese were an important factor, if not crucial, in the #Philippines fight against colonial invaders.
Andres Bonifacio, the father of Philippine revolution, and one of the founders of the #KKK , is often depicted as a poor farmer. This is very far from the truth.
Andres Bonifacio came from a rich, if not wealthy, family with a lot of connections. If I remember correctly, he hailed from a "Royal Class" clan, and his family was one of those who kept communication lines intact before and after they started the revolution.
Secondly. Starting a revolution requires a continuous flow of funds. Farmers cannot support a revolution. In addition, farmers will not even think of a revolution by themselves, family comes first. However, a rich or wealthy person is capable of thinking about it and starting it.
So, Andres Bonifacio a "farmer"? Not at all.
Third. What schoolbooks don't tell us (they refuse to update it too) is that mainland Chinese (meaning, pure Chinese from mainland China) were also involved. They mainly provided funds and armaments. The Chinese in the Philippines and Chinese from China, were in constant communication. They send funds and arms. Which then are channeled to support the KKK.
Yet during the 80s and 90s, Chinese-Filipinos, or #Tsinoy , were targeted for kidnappings and hate. To this day, discrimination still happens just because they're Chinese, even though they have nothing whatsoever to do with Communist China.
I find it amazing and cool that in other countries, their monarchy is still "public".
In the #Philippines, almost all of those who are from the "Royal Class" in pre-colonial times are sort of, "in hiding". They don't advertise their presence. The majority of Filipinos are not even aware of them, they assumed they no longer exist.
Almost all of the clans in the "Royal Class" still exist to this day. The thing is, they agreed not to get involved in the "Philippines" politics. They agreed that their time ended after the Nation gained its independence.
(aside: Royalty in pre-colonial Philippines is a social class. There are a lot of clans within the Royal Class. Each clan has a lot of families. A leader can only come from the Royal Class. (In addition, someone not of a Royal Class can become a member of this social class, but unfortunately, not much information about this, other than marriage, and they are not discriminated against.))
Another thing most Filipinos are not aware of about them is the fact that they were the ones who kept the revolution going. They funded revolutions. They maintained a communication network that the Spaniards, the Americans, and Imperial Japanese, were not able to find.
These "Royal Class" clans truly care for the Nation far more than the politicians who took over. Unfortunately, because of corruption, self-interest, and dirty politics that started with Emilio Aguinaldo's government, they retreated and retired from getting involved.
Example. In a certain province, corrupt politicians are always trying to recruit a descendant of a "Royal Class" clan so they can bolster their respective political parties. These politicians do murder their opponents. Imagine siding with one of them, or even as an independent, going against them all. You'll definitely put a target on your back.
They only want to use them because they know the "Royal Class" clans still hold a major sway.
So, you know, just stay away from it altogether.
This is the sad state of the "Royal Class" clans in the entire Philippines. As much as they want to help the country, it might only turn into a bloodbath. Which, by the way, we've already seen with those who chose to get involved.
