That totally surprised me. One of the characters in #Wednesday S02 is a #Filipino. It's not obvious if you don't understand our language.
For Filipinos, you'll see it.
For non-Filipinos, look for a text message scene in S02E06, that's the character.

If you're a foreigner, there's nothing new with detained people winning in an #elections here in the #Philippines.
If you're a local #Filipino and you were surprised by this, I guess this was the first time you voted or paid attention? Welcome to #PHpols kabayan!
Thanks to the #KKK the #Philippines gained its independence from Spainโafter more than 300 years of oppression.
Today marks the 127th #Independence of the #Filipino nation.

Now I am curious, what's our #Filipino word for #Fediverse and #SocialWeb ?
So far, I these for potential Filipino translation of "Fediverse":
- bigkisberso (bigkis + uniberso)
- sansinukob = used in Filipino astronomy and literature to refer to the "universe" (I personally like this one)
- bukob (buklod + sukob) = just my invention
Other suggestions?
Since we're talking about the Filipino language (not Tagalog language), this means all Philippine languages are valid. We can combine them together, even use the 6th vowel /รซ/.
But how about "Social Web"?
I was told that the Filipino for "Internet" is "daigbatan". I'm just not sure though since I can't find information on "batan" other than:
- Original name of Bataรคn was Batan, a Spanish word for "log" (๐ชต) which the province was named after by the Spaniards.
- The Ivatan people call themselves in the Ivatan language as "Batan". (Yes, Batanes = Isles of [the] Batan [people]. Batan + Isles (just my theory, but it makes logical sense ๐))
So, I'm not sure why "Internet" is "daigbatan".
My thought process is, "social web" could be:
- liponbatan = literally social network
- daiglipon = lit. world social; web social
Other suggestions?

It applies to #Filipino citizens & foreigners in the country. Blur people if you don't have their permission!
@pilipinas @philippines
It is true that we were often told to sound like an American or an Australian or a British. Anything but to sound #Filipino.
I hate it and never obeyed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with ยซPhilippine Englishยป or `en-PH` in ISO.
