Does one exist?

I wonder if there’s one present, with the amount of doomposting and “it’s so joever” posts you see in Filipino communities. Whether it was in 2025 or 2015, or 2005, a lot of the complaints stay the same (corruption, economy, public safety, etc.).

I was not alive at the time, could the economic downturn between Ninoy’s death and 1986 have caused generational trauma sa mga Pinoy? I read virtually naging pariah state ang Pilipinas in those years. It’s as if we are extra sensitive that national-level mistakes could result in a repeat of the 1983-1986 conditions.
