Speaking of decolonization, why hasn't the Philippines changed it's name yet? Spain no longer owns the islands, why is it still named after their King? Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have all changed their names from the colonial names Burma, Ceylon and Rhodesia in recent history. It's time for the "Philippines" to do the same.

Some work I did for Maharlika RPG! It's a lil drone dude based on the FIlipino myth of the Pineapple creation. A Maharlika can add this to their equipment! When it activates it's scanning feature it has a bunch of "Eyes" that appear holographically!

Although I am so proud of what Maharlika has became and reached, I still stand by my belief that we should never have joined in the first place. It is still not worth it.
Man if i had a nickel for every tragic sister duo where the older, religious, sun-named sister is left behind by their younger sister for warlock-ship etc etc
So, as you can see from the accompanying Picture, the Anti-China, Pro-United States (US) Troll Farms tried to hack into my Account again recently. I think they probably tried to do it around just before Midnight of June 7, 2024 when I had gone to sleep already.
Of course it wasn’t successful, I have gone through these a number of times already all through the Years and I know that Facebook does a pretty good Job of securing Accounts these Days as long as you fully use all of the available Security Measure that they offer.
Not sure what the Goals of the Trolls are with this, maybe they were actually hoping to hijack my Account, or maybe they just wanted to intimidate me. Anyway, their Attempt ended up as nothing more than a Minor Annoyance for me. I wouldn’t be surprised though if they do something else to try to get to me in some Way.
These are likely that same Troll Farms that Maharlika said was being paid Php 5 million per Month just to support this certain Administration.
Is the Maharlika Investment Fund destined to fail?
