An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

@[email protected] 's old story about DZRH on Reddit was hilarious:

“Stand-By Announcers” do just that—stand by and wait for a technical problem to happen and fill in the gap. If all goes well, all he does is give the opening or closing for pre-recorded programs. But that doesn’t exempt them from disasters. Take for example one who was assigned to stand-by while a pre-taped religious program was being replayed. It was running overtime and it had to be cut while the American pastor was in the midst of preaching emphatically “But Jesus said not a word. Then the devil said…” “This is MBC the Manila Broadcasting Company, DZRH, Manila.” What made it more hilarious was that the announcer’s voice sounded like the pastor’s.
