Notice: Remember to add this thread to your Watchlist, so we don't forget about each other and our community.
I didn't know where to place this, but seeing as Asian Era has set its roots down in Hangouts, I'll do the same. On the old forum I know there were plenty of Filipino people or posters with relations to the people or country itself, so I am hoping most of those guys has set foot on Resetera, because there's plenty to discuss and talk about.
I've been studying the Swedish OT and it seems like they are posting in their own language, so feels free to converse in Tagalog, Visayan or any other dialect of our country. Creating this community thread, I can't help but mention our new president, Rodrigo Duterte, who currently takes up much of the discussion, but there's also many other things to discuss. Are you preparing a trip to the Philippines? Ask away for advice or planning and I'm sure somebody will help you out, are you feeling inspired to taste some new delicacies, then there's plenty of rich dishes around here. Also, I can't help but mention Jollibee, best fast food chain there is! And it's also available in some US states.
I know there's a lot of movie buffs in Film Era and in the weekly Box Office threads, well I hope you'll find time to check out some of the Filipino movies as well. Norte: The End of a History is a 4 hour monster that is critically praised for its cinematography. Other popular romantic films are Barcelona: A Love Story and The Breakup Playlist. Are you looking for something a little bit more unique visually at least, there's Saving Sally currently playing on Channel 1; it mixes cartoon visuals with real actors. If we are looking to the future there's Dark is the Night which follows a family during the Duterte regime, and the Avengers spoof, The Revengers, which stars a handful of comedic celebrities and no other than Miss Universe 2015 winner Pia Alonso Wurtzbach as a superheroine.
Talking about Pia Wurtzbach, she's currently still the big thing in the Philippines, and has landed some attractive contracts and is also the first ambassador of the Miss Universe organisation. She got plenty of work and you can follow her on various social media like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. You can also participate in supporting our "Queen" and be part of the Pianatics who are some incredibly dedicated and amazing people. She also appeared in the music video "So Long" by Massari, unfortunately I am not in on the musical scenes and can't recommend any. Is football (soccer) more your thing, then fans all over the country is working hard to get more people interested in the sport, and showing real passion for the sport. Unfortunately the broadcasters seem to fail the league a bit at the moment, and interest is low. Hopefully that changes.
What else is currently happening in the Philippines? Do you have experiences to share? Then this is the place!
Maraming salamat!
