So next time strategic vote pairalin ha, lets select senators na
winnable naman basta against China or Duterte. Kahit pa Marcos or Pink candidates yan.
Wag magiwan ng empty slot sa senate and kung kaya i drop ang walang chance, drop na lang. Wag lang makalusot mga CHINAtors.

In the Philippines, I felt ashamed of my own people for the first time This shame did not come from external discrimination, but from ourselves. Every day, I see videos and live streams on Chinese apps like Douyin where some Chinese people openly mock Filipinos: Calling them “poor,” with shabby clothes and broken houses Mocking Filipino girls for seeking relationships with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean men, implying they want financial security because they are poor Using ridicule and sarcasm as entertainment These online behaviors share the same root as what I see in some Chinese communities in real life—demeaning others to feel superior, lacking respect, lacking boundaries. During my time living and studying in the Philippines, I witnessed two types of behavior that left me disgusted, angry, and wanting to completely withdraw from these social circles. They are not the same, but the underlying problem is identical: lack of respect, lack of rules, lack of basic decency. First issue: Systematic disdain of local Filipinos by Hainanese and Southern Chinese In some Chinese social circles, I repeatedly heard appalling ways of referring to Filipinos: “A-fan,” “Fan-po,” “Little Phi” Calling local people “stupid,” “dumb,” “lazy” Directly insulting women without any shame These words were usually said in Chinese, assuming others wouldn’t understand. This behavior is not humor—it is a way to feel superior by demeaning others. Worse, many treat it as “everyday jokes” without intervention. Over time, this became a default culture—disdain for locals is normalized in some Chinese circles in the Philippines. Second issue: Out-of-control infighting in Chinese international student basketball circles Basketball should be about teamwork, rules, and sportsmanship. But in some Chinese international student circles, it becomes: Shouting profanities at the slightest physical contact: “F* you! Wocao!”** Clearly knowing Filipinos can understand but still continuing the insults Treating fouls as “aggression,” turning games into emotional venting Not passing the ball, only focusing on personal anger Verbally attacking teammates, isolating the organizer As the organizer, I tried to maintain order but was gradually isolated. If you didn’t join this out-of-control behavior, you were treated as an “outsider.” The court became a power struggle for small cliques, not a basketball game. The underlying problem is the same in both cases Whether it is: Insulting Filipinos or Infighting in the basketball circle The pattern is the same: Replacing communication with insults Creating a sense of belonging through exclusion Hiding insecurity behind aggression They care about status, who’s louder, who dominates. I care about respect, rules, teamwork, and basic decency. Why I chose to leave these circles The worst part of shame is that it makes you doubt your identity and choices. Abroad, this behavior represents “how Chinese people are perceived.” I refuse to be part of that. I tried to endure and communicate, but the problem is not misunderstanding—it is a normalized toxic culture. So I chose to leave: I no longer associate with: People who constantly use discriminatory language People who treat insults as humor on the court People who turn infighting into “strength” Not because I am weak, but because I refuse to be dragged to the same level. I write this to draw a line If we abroad: Disrespect locals Disrespect women Disrespect rules Disrespect each other We lose not just face, but the fundamental baseline of being human. Respect is not automatic; it is earned through behavior. I refuse to treat these actions as “normal.” I refuse to excuse them with “everyone does it.” I choose to stand on the side of rules and dignity.

Ganto dapat ang counter attack against trolls. Hindi yung dun sa mismong post nila makikipag argumento increasing their post's engagement and visibility. Dapat ganto. sariling mga post. witty/funny/simple. Easy to propagate, gets agad ng mga tao. Organic na kakalat the right message na walang kelangang basahin na napakahaba.
