I made a starter pack for all things about Health and the Philippines. List is still growing, so DM me if you're a member of the PH health workforce and I'll add you.

Mabuhay!

Got confused there for a moment. J-Will is not who I think you're referring to.

Jalen Williams is JDub.
Jaylin Williams is J-Will

Here is J-Will:

I abhor medical society meetings in the Philippines.

It's always unnecessarily long and winding.

A complete waste of time.

JM Deblois, MD 🇵🇭 @jmdd.bsky.social · May 21

Narratives are pushed by the bitter sector of sports called "sore losers."

If you want your team to win, then that team has to be better.

Whining about baseless stuff like "SGA free throw merchant" is a symptom of social media stupidity creeping into sports.

Law Murray 📘 @lawmurraythenu.bsky.social · May 21

Tonight was the first time that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander attempted 25+ field goals and 10+ free throws in the same playoff game

Michael Jordan did it 46x

LeBron James did it 27x

Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson did it 20x each

Donovan Mitchell has done it 9 times (3x vs IND)

JM Deblois, MD 🇵🇭 @jmdd.bsky.social · May 14

I celebrate the wins of Kiko and Bam.

Still, I remain skeptical about this "pink ripple." In some respects, the Marcos machinery worked to our advantage. It's not hard to see what sort of alliances may come just to prevent another Duterte from rising to the presidency. #PhElections

Looking at all the barriers for health workers — in serving patients, teaching, doing research, providing for a family — it's no wonder being in the Philippines can be quite tiring.

There is a method to the madness that is #PrimaryCare. Sure, we cover the same issues perennially...but it is in doing so that we gain insight, or use the time to build relationships and trust with our #patients, at their pace. #neverdull #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

Quite symptomatic of a sick, self-centered society.

Nothing here says that they won't vote for another wretched lying egotistical maniac who fits their 'us vs. them' world view.

In the Philippines, we call the same kind of people three letters: DDS.

Trump’s own voters are turning on him.

There's a respected physician in the Philippines who posted a long essay expressing support to Duterte.

That person's justification?

Because Duterte is exactly what the Filipino people want.

What?

I think socmed algorithms are really powerful motivators to posting shit opinions in public.

JM Deblois, MD 🇵🇭 @jmdd.bsky.social · Mar 27

Yup. Been looking at this map since he first said that he'll go after Canada and Greenland.

Geography matters.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · Mar 27

If you haven't figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump's invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · Mar 27

Russia has its eyes on the Arctic, as global warming continues to ramp up the natural barrier between Russia and the rest of the free world is rapidly disappearing. This has put Russia in the direct path towards war with Canada and Nordic Europe. #ArcticFront 🧵

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember.

This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

They should all be counting their days in office.

Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested last night and sent to the Hague.

We still have a long way to go before we can truly heal as a nation. The damage that his regime caused to our democracy is still evident.

Too many blind followers
Too many blind believers
Too many fooled by his false bravado.

If you wanna know why Dems lose all the damned time, right here you go. This kind of bullshit right here. We’ve got an aspiring dictator tearing our country apart and these idiots are still too concerned about decorum and standards. Get these assholes out of office.

Americans, don't let your citizens fall for the lethargy that many who have lived in decades of suffocating impunity and paralyzing poverty have grown used to.

This is the correct way to save your country. Reclaim reality on the ground and force people away from their phones.

Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · Feb 28

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

I have a Mastercard. So I guess no spending that day even for me, here in the Philippines.

Anything that I can to help the world avoid f***ing WW3.

A consequential "nonsense" that this drunk said?

Marcos Sr. is a hero.

It's a lie, swallowed hook line and sinker by Filipinos who spend much time watching YT videos and following influencers

Marcos Jr. was then elected

Soc med dismembered our chance to heal from being the sick man of Asia

JM Deblois, MD 🇵🇭 @jmdd.bsky.social · Feb 24

Then it led to the reversal of everything the 1986 EDSA revolution stood for.

It became a curse to be "yellow," the color that symbolized liberal values.

The Filipino people were fooled by Duterte's easy, grandiose, "relatable" solution.

Everybody had a drunk father-figure spouting nonsense.

The story is more interesting when fleshed out. We had our own "Obama" who lasted 2010-2016.

We all know what happened in 2016 worldwide, right?

In the Philippines, Duterte was elected in a flurry of outrage trolling, false information, and reactionary forces riding anti-establishment sentiments.

39 years ago, the Philippines kicked out Ferdinand Marcos Sr., a dictator, in what was dubbed as a 'bloodless revolution.'

2025 we are still at the mercy of Dutertismo and Marcos Jr.'s campaign to rehabilitate their name.

We're called the soc med capital of the world. Look where it got us.
