The real reason why the We Are Collective page was taken down from Facebook

By -


VP Leni Robredo was not the reason why the “We Are Collective” FB page was taken down; Jim Paredes did not talk to FB Ph head Digs Dimagiba to remove the WAC page (the picture of Jim and Digs was taken a long time ago when Digs was still with Samsung);  and  It was not taken down because of the so called mass reporting by the Yellow Army.  The WAC FB page was taken down because FB believes it has violated something in their community standards.

In a recent interview with Monika Bickert FB Head of Global Policy management, she said:

Removing a page for a violation of our standards does not have to do with the number of reports. In fact, there is no difference in our review system whether a piece of content has been reported one time or 500 times. When a content is reported to us, we review it again to our community standards, and if it violates we remove it. If it doesn't, we leave it up on the site.

Somebody reported the WAC page for hate speech yes, and it was removed because FB believes is has violated the community standards.

The good news is, owner of a removed FB page could make an appeal for FB to put it back.  However, appeal from other people does not work.  So your hashtag campaign #reinstateWeAreCollective  is useless.

Monika Bickert however, admitted that FB do commit mistakes...

..we do make mistakes, and we certainly have made mistakes from time to time. So, we do rigorous accuracy audit to try to improve the quality of our review. And we do reinstate content if we've removed it by mistake.

So!!! It is important for the owner of We Are Collective to make an appeal to FB and not ask other people to do it for them.

    I don't think it was for hate speech, but for potentially libelous material.

Duterte BPI bank scandal a trap set for Trillanes?

By -

There are now papers floating around that the BPI account in Julia Vargas has a running balance of around Php22,000xx from March 2015 to March 2016. It's peanuts, and Trillanes makes a big fuzz about it? Sonamagan, even call center agents would have this kind of bank accounts; definitely does not show a corrupt DU30. And then, Trillanes talks of 42 real estate properties, but mostly owned by the children of DU30. Yet, the first one that media checks is a unit in P Guevarra, which is only valued at 2.3 million. Even ordinary employees could buy such unit. That could hardly buy just the main door, an imported antique, in the house of Binay, which has been valued at 15 million, yes just the freaking door by itself. What is this, they are again using trial by publicity, which they effectively used on CJ Corona whom they accused him of having 80 properties. In the end, it comes out Corona had only four properties, three of which was purchased for investment purposes only. I don'

Rappler CEO @MariaRessa suggests that Duterte was ORDERED to sing by Trump! 😮

By -

In a tweet fielded by Rappler CEO Maria Ressa today, the causality reader could be led to believe that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was ordered to sing by US President Donald Trump. But was he really? It seems Ressa is just being too quick to selectively interpret a common Filipino colloquialism that is no different to the way we use terms like "bossing" and "chief" to address peers or even subordinates in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Ressa is most definitely grasping for straws here.

Filipinos are taught by their parents to flush at public toilets with their feet. Is this RIGHT??

By -

Public toilets in the Philippines are seen to be dirty. As such many Filipinos are taught by their parents to use their feet to operate the flush lever after using a public toilet. The prevalence of this practice was confirmed after a tweet from a Filipino Netizens describing the practice attracted wide approval... Is this the right way to solve the problem of unsanitary public toilets in the Philippines? By teaching kids to use their feet to operate such facilities? It's more like teaching them to be inconsiderate and rather than be good members of the community. No wonder public facilities in the Philippines suck. It's because their users suck.

Poor people in the Philippines seem to prefer poverty over aspiring to be not poor

By -

Sadly, a MAJORITY of the poor people here are bad people. That is WHY they are poor. They disrespect others, they disrespect themselves, and they disrespect God’s creation. Exactly how do they think they’ll be rewarded for that? If you genuinely had empathy, you would be able to get inside their heads and understand why they do these things, and perhaps know how to fix it. However, you are confusing “empathy” with “sympathy”. I have yet to meet a poor person who actually WANTS to do the things necessary to escape poverty. The funny thing is, everyone can see that I’m more successful than they are. They think this is because I’m “rich”. I’m sure a lot of them are full of jealousy (as benign0 describes) and sit around thinking “ha, it’s not fair, that foreigner is so rich and I’m so poor. I guess it’s OK if I steal his stuff”. Which they do. Regularly. I grew up poor. I know how it feels to be hungry, all the time, every day. I decided I didn’t like feeling like that. I’m successf
