Anthony Bourdain Q&A - Favorite Pork Dish

[LAkingkobe]

LECHON!

[oopopp]

[kutchero]

Baybayin is like "The Lost Culture" its like the book Atlantis

[vanessadiano]

[iChanging]

HEY PETA

[rp07infinity]

@TheYipedo I think the Philippines hasn't adopted the baybayin as a writing system for practical reasons: a complete overhaul of the way a nation thinks, writes, educates people, etc. would be costly. Not that it's not possible, just that there are more pressing issues the gov't should attend to, gut issues that Filipinos have to worry about. Btw, there are also serious gaps in our knowledge of baybayin. The basics aside, we know little of exactly how it was used before & under what contexts.

[TheYipedo]

Interesting, people from Bali also have lechon? Now if only their outdated book from the 7th century didn't prevent them from eating pork, Indonesians and Malaysians would still be enjoying them.

[PeoplesGeneral]

@TheYipedo Filipinos, Malaysians, and Indonesians are from the same ethnic stock.

The Qur'an doesn't really belong to the Indonesians or Malaysians. Arabs invented that. The same way that the Bible, so beloved in the Philippines, doesn't really belong to us Filipinos either. That's a Mid-Eastern and European collaboration.

We had our own indigenous faiths which didn't have food restrictions.

[TheYipedo]

@PeoplesGeneral True, funny how foreign brainwashing changed us Southeast Asians so much. King Philip would be rolling in his grave if he found out that modern day Filipinos still swallow the Catholic bullcr*p hook line and sinker.

[PeoplesGeneral]

@TheYipedo The only reason why so many of Filipinos swallowed Islam and Christianity, is because prior to the arrival of Spanish missionaries and Arab traders... we had a belief in a One God too... besides the usual nature spirits... diwendes, manananggals, asuwangs, and tikbalangs...

[TheYipedo]

@PeoplesGeneral We had a pantheon of gods, at least the Tagalogs had one. Bathalang Maykapal, Amihan, Idianale, Mayari, Diyan Masalanta, Apo Laki, etc. just to name a few. I guess Abrahamic religions are conceived to really make you feel guilty and convert. It makes you think "Oh no, I don't want to go to Hell, I MUST convert! If i do something wrong, I must repent!". They're made in a way to really keep you coming back. That and the Europeans' and Arabs' persistence to convert everyone. Oh well

[PeoplesGeneral]

@TheYipedo What annoys me is that unlike our neighbors: China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand... we no longer use our own writing system! That's a big part of our culture...

[TheYipedo]

@PeoplesGeneral Yes indeed! I actually learned how to write in Baybayin within 1 night. I swear, it's THAT easy. Just type learn Baybayin in google or wikipedia, trust me it's easy. Then go show it off to your friends. Hopefully they will reinstate it as our national scripture, even if it's just for aesthetic and cultural reasons.
