Southeast Asia is still an incredibly balanced region. Thailand and Indonesia are nearly tied in terms of their share of the region's 500 biggest companies. Vietnam aggressively rising, and unlike most of the region actually has a multi-city engine in terms of company distribution. KL as always, deeply underrated even in terms of business.

This is your annual reminder from me that Philippine languages are NOT dialects. We have 180+ languages, NOT dialects.

FOLLOWING THE PATH OF THEIR ANCESTORS Battling huge waves, twenty Austronesian men in orange lifejackets set off on a hand-carved longboat into the western Pacific Ocean, destined for the home of their ancestral kin for the first time in 300 years. The indigenous Tao people, native to the tiny Orchid Island 90 kilometres (56 miles) off Taiwan's southeast coast, have close cultural, linguistic and historic ties with the Philippines' Batanes islands and its Ivatan communities. Participants say the odyssey across the Bashi Channel will trace an ancestral sea route to strengthen longstanding traditional ties between the two communities. 📸 AFP/Cheng Yu-Chen Read: philstar.com/headlines/2026…

YESS TO THIS‼️I HAVE BEEN SAYING. Walang english. NO. Magtagalog kayong LAHAT. I-translate sa lahat ng dialects. Kailangan maintindihan ng lahat ng Pilipino sa bawat panig ng Pilipinas ang paglalahad ng katotohanan.

Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?

Kaya alam niyo bakit napaka out-of-touch ng mga anak ng politiko? International Schools doesn’t follow the Philippine/National curriculum that we normally follow. They use a more globally known system. It’s usually meant for families na palipat lipat ng bansa para madali mag-adjust mga anak nila education system. Kaya mga nepo babies walang alam history and politics sa Pilipinas. Dapat sa public school nilalagay yang mga yan ehh para ramdam nila yung panloloko ng corrupt nilang pamilya

I honestly think this should be seen by millions, please help share it everywhere.

US troops in the Philippines aren't "defending" anything > they're turning a sovereign nation into the next Ukraine proxy against its #1 trading partner, China. History repeats: America colonized the PH, used concentration camps & torture (per their own State Dept records), then never really left. On Independence Day, Filipinos are right to chant "US troops out now." Prioritize development over endless US-driven militarization, or watch poverty & destruction deepen. Real independence means choosing your own path, not Washington's.

San na ba ung discussion about Philippine flora? Ang ganda ng illustrations from this book. 😍

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

sometimes I think about the Battle of Manila, the destruction it wrought, then the absolute greed that took over during reconstruction that paved way to the concrete monstrosity that is our city today and I weep

For those who want a bit more context: a massive student and worker protest is unfolding in Indonesia’s capital in response to the Prabowo government’s decision to raise fuel prices, alongside other policies that many Indonesians are calling corrupt because they deepen the burden on working-class Indonesians already struggling with rising living costs and a weakening rupiah. What’s fueling the anger even further is the broader feeling that economic pressure is being pushed downward onto ordinary people while major policy decisions continue to favour politicians and the ultra wealthy. Just last year, Indonesians protested over the same kind of government corruption, which led to a crackdown on its own civilians using military force in cities like Jakarta and Bandung, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries, including those of students. This situation, however, embarrassed the Probowo government, as people from all over the world began paying attention and massed mobilised to send food, medical/legal aid and financial donations via apps like Grab and Ojek (the region’s equivalent of Uber) the movement received particularly strong support from people across Asia, especially Southeast and East Asia, while also drawing contributions from around the world. This is why Indonesians are asking the world pay attention to their country again.
