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

Thanks to the #KKK the #Philippines gained its independence from Spain—after 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 /ë/.
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 Bataän was Batan, a Spanish word for "log" (🪵) 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 😝))
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:
- 필리핀싀 (Philippines; aspirated P)
- 필리핀싀 (Pilipins; unaspirated P)
- 필리피낫 (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.
「Labi ng labi ang labi sa labi.」

Myth: Filipinos are Spanish & Pacific Islanders.
The DNA truth in the Philippines:
- 🧬 90-95% Austronesian
- 🇨🇳 3-5% East Asian (mostly Chinese)
- 🇪🇸 0-2% Spanish (mostly 0)
- 🏝️ 0% Pacific Islander (Melanesian)
We are Filipinos. We are brown. We are Asians. 🇵🇭 #Filipino #DNA #Philippines
