Jim Paredes' song "Handog Pilipino sa Mundo" with some rap from Elmo Magalona for the 38th anniversary of the People Power Revolution in the Philippines 2/n
More than 2 million protesters on EDSA (Epifanio De Los Santos Avenue, C-3 or Circumferential Road 3) in Quezon City, Philippines and 4 days of protests in February 1986.

Hello #Mastodon this my #introduction post. As my profile reads I am 56, over the hill, and slowly getting into the final years of my career. I am married with three grown, trouble-free kids (so far). My interests are a #federated place to discover new people and ideas. I enjoy studying #languages such as #French#AuxiliaryLanguages and #Filipino (Ang Pilipino ang asawa ko). I enjoy making sarcastic remarks on people’s postings. Let talk and exchange follows!
More Filipinos are migrating. Nearly 49,000 Filipinos hold Canadian study permits in 2023, an increase of around 50% from 2022, when around 24,000 Filipinos had permits to study in Canada. "This makes the Philippines the 3rd largest foreign student population in Canada in 2023, second to China (102,000) and India (427,000)."

one is "holy shit ang ganda ng wika na ito para akong si Jose Rizal" ✍🔥
the other is "putangina bakit ba napakahaba ng wika na ito sino ba kasi nagimbento ng mga salitang ito hindi nila magaya yung Ingles na mas kaunti ang mga letra at mas maikli ang pagkabigkas" :koishtare:
