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.

Magaling pala itong si Leylah Fernandez. Usually when Filipinos hype "one of their own" it's fueled by pinoy pride dick-riding, but she's really really good. Not sure lang ano sya sa rankings or if she won any grand slams... but purely on eye-test, it's top-tier modern day tennis. Masarap panoorin regardless what her lineage is.
Edit: Siya pala yung hina-hype na kalaban ni Raducanu sa Wimbledon Finals a few years ago. Raducanu has struggled since then (no. 288!) while Fernandez is currently 35th.
