How the Modern Filipino Name Works
One might assume it is simply first name, middle name, and last name. It is not.

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?

Filipino netizens were quick to criticize girl group BINI for their genuine reactions to Filipino snacks in a YouTube video.
"Telling BINI to eat like Filipinos, then shaming them for flinching, is cultural policing dressed up as patriotism."

So, my @youronly.one.ofcl account was suspended because I logged-in to #Instagram side and added a verification code to an older selfie upload. Now I no longer have access to the large #Filipino #Threads community.
This is the second time already, the first was my original account `youronly.one` and no one from Instagram assisted even after I went through their Face Verification process thrice.
Anyone who can lend assistance to get my `youronly.one.ofcl` account reinstated and have it placed in some whitelist so their automation scripts are not hitting it with false positives? I rarely login to the Instagram side because I don't need it, the only reason I have it is because Threads originally required an Instagram account.
The beauty of the Surat Inawa alphabet writing system is that it's strictly phonetic. Consider the following:
- ํ๋ฆฌํ์ (Philippines; aspirated P)
- ํ๋ฆฌํ์ (Pilipins; unaspirated P)
- ํ๋ฆฌํผ๋ซ (Pilipinas; unaspirated P)

In the Filipino language (n.b. All Philippine languages!), a change in pronunciation changes the meaning of a word. Here's an example which is ambigous in written form without proper Filipino diacritics.

Myth: Filipinos are Spanish & Pacific Islanders.
The DNA truth in the Philippines:
- ๐งฌ 90-95% Austronesian
- ๐จ๐ณ 3-5% East Asian (mostly Chinese)
- ๐ช๐ธ 0-2% Spanish (mostly 0)
- ๐๏ธ 0% Pacific Islander (Melanesian)
