Is it ok if there would be a Filipino forums here?
I remember someone asking if it was ok if there will be an Italian forums here. I think there is now, it's probably because I wasn't sure that what I saw was Italian.
I am a member!
Hey man. For what it's worth I'm Filipino too, residing in the homeland. Heard a rumor that RMS is here now, but haven't checked.
He had a presentation in Ortigas a few days ago, but he still has a few
more in the next few days.

Too bad I couldn't go to the first one because the ticket was expensive:
$100.

Hey cool! Nice to see you guys! Well good for you guys you're in The Philippines. I'm not. I badly want to see pictures and videos of Jacob Appelbaum - and Tor people - and RMS from Rights Con Asia. What do you guys think of having a Filipino forums here? That'd be really awesome! How is Free Software doing in The Philippines? The Italians have one already I think. Do you guys go to #trisquel? What are your handles?

Me too. I'll be searching for possible videos on the event later.

It would be nice but I don't think there's enough of us Pinoys here to
have a proper discussion.
> How is Free Software doing in The Philippines?
Poorly. The Philippine government is pushing for a voting system that is
non-free. We pay for it but we can't even view the code.

Sorry, I only go on IRC if I need quick help. I'm usually lurking the
forums.
What the heck?! RMS has been staying in PH for a while now?
He is actually. I bet his first presentation was the one from Rights Con Asia, which happened last week.
So far here's what I've found regarding RMS's presentation in RightsCon Asia
