Trese billboards vandalized, or is it just a marketing gimmick?

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

I dont get it sorry.  Whats up with trese?

Netizens lauded the promotional materials of the upcoming series, with some even demanding to catch the “manananggal” responsible for the vandal.

The marketing for Trese is really something else..

Nakakabilib marketing ng Netflix for Trese - from Twitter hashflags, billboard to a "ghost" concert. I remember a local TV executive who looked down on Pinoy comics as source material for TV shows na naging hot topic pa online. Sad that Fil creators won't get the support here.

Never crossed my mind that Netflix will go extreme in promoting TRESE. Incredible minds are joining forces. Amazing! Congratulations!!!

The marketing team for Trese is on a different level.

Sobrang solid ng promotions for Trese. Let’s support our local animators this coming June 11 on Netflix! 

Netizens are losing their minds after streaming giant Netflix posted photos of what appears to be “sabotaged and vandalized” billboards of the upcoming Filipino anime series “Trese”. 

A graffiti message, which reads “Siyudad namin ito. Layas,” was painted in bold letters on one of the billboards.

Netflix, meanwhile captioned the photos: “What kind of monster would do this??? If you see something, say something — we’re going to find out who did this.” 

Trese’s coming to let them know they can’t mess with our city.

Until then, careful where you tread and use #TabiTabiPo to keep the monsters at bay. 

Set to premiere on Friday, June 11, 2021, Trese is an anime series based on the graphic novel by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo. It is set in Manila, where Philippine folklore creatures live amongst humans.

Akala ko totoong vandalize or part lang talaga ng cover nila?The marketing for Trese is really something else..

It's probably the sour graping Jam Magno, hinahanap ng mga mananangal sa Mindanao at dalhin sa Iloilo.

Sara's supporters ran, so Trese's PR and Marketing team can walk. 

Everything about Trese is wholesome, until someone decides to fill it with politics.

lol too tired to get into the art and politics are intertwined. 

"The universe seeks balance, so does the underworld"

A Filipino comics series that's been adapted into a #NETFLIX anime coming June 11

It's about supernatural crimes in Manila and features Mythological creatures from Filipino folklore!

GO Watch it! 

Who’s behind Trese’s marketing strategy??? BRILLIANT! Pakagaling.

It's absolutely unreal how Netflix has raised promo campaigns to another level. and what makes it sweet is the fact that Liza Soberano is part of this project with her name front & center. Salamat Netflix.

Liza Soberano lent her voice for the original anime by Netflix 'Trese'. Another one, Shay Mitchell, for the English voice.

‘I was excited but also scared at the same time. Like I said many time, I was very hesitant. I’m used to acting, using my face to be able to express the emotions that my characters are feeling.’ - Liza Soberano

Introducing Marvel's new Filipino-American shield-bearer

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Meet Ari Agbayani. Her full name is Arielle per creator.

Marvel's new Filipino-American shield-bearer created by @crashwong, @Astrolimes & @AlannaWrites will debut in The United States of Captain America #4. 

Like we get it, her full first name is "Arielle" but really?

"Ari" means genitals in Filipino and also the Philippines and us mainlanders have been affected by American imperialism for forever so badly that it isn't even funny. so what i'm saying is thanks! This fucking sucks!

The costume is so uninspired too. I see no real reason a Filipino would take up Cap's shield. Falcon made sense but her? Nah.

What doesn't sit well for many is the fact FilAms won't understand what kind of representation matters to Filipinos born in the PH. Great we have another Filipino character but not like this. The smallest details do matter.

In regards to the poorly decided name, it's almost like if you made a gay character and named them "Rain Bowe" for the sake of it being symbolic.

Are there people named Ari? Absolutely. It's pronounced differently. However, the name goes as a sort of brand for this character---a character that was created in an attempt to represent. The direct Filipino translation is pretty cringe.

Overall I honestly don't really resonate with this character at all. I appreciate Filipino characters but at this point I don't think it's selfish to ask for cultural sensitivity. I'm not upset at it, just disappointed that the concerns over her name are being downplayed.

Or the concerns of real Filipinos over a character wearing the stars and stripes. It's a sensitive topic. It's hard to see America as open to our kind to begin with as even securing a tourist visa can be difficult for most Filipinos. I can only imagine immigrating.

Let me make it clear that I respectfully acknowledge that this is a Fil-Am character and the purpose is to encourage the idea that an American can be any race but she being a Filipino, natives have the freedom to criticize it based on our history and experience.

People can love and resonate with this character for different reasons but I, like many other natives, can also dislike it for other reasons. What's important is we respect we have different perspectives on the subject.

This is not fucking revolutionary or cool in any way. you could've made any superhero filipino, or even made a new one to accommodate cultural differences and whatnot, and you chose it to be CAPTAIN AMERICA???

Also myself am a pale as shit Filipino but at least make her some level of tan because goddamn Filipino colorism is already hell in itself and this could kind of help reinforce it to be honest

Look i'm just tired of what i assume are Filipino-Americans telling stories that they have no idea just contradict with everything we have in the mainland. like please step back and look at what has happened and IS going on in the country and realize how bad a lot of ur ideas are.

Also stop saying "Filipinx" and "Pinxy" it's fucking stupid just say filipino and pinoy like a normal filipino person IT'S A GENDER NEUTRAL LANGUAGE ASSHOLES.

Okay that's all i'm gonna say sorry if you had to witness me be mad and sorry for the random tangent at the end i just saw the term "Filipinx" thrown around with some of ari's (lol) art and. stop!! ok that's all thank you mwah mwah

Going to Tulfo is better than the Philippines justice system

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

What I do not like is Tulfo is really monetizing / capitalizing the suffering of some people. As if we do not have barangays or govt agencies who can handle it.

There is no such thing as Tulfo court. They just sensationalize things. And we love to be entertained by the misery and scandals brought in by these issues. Alternatively, I’d go online just to bash Tulfo and ask them repeatedly to return the 60m pesos they owe. Why is this government not going after them and the likes of Bong Revilla and others who owe the country stolen funds.

In its earlier years, this Tulfo TV program was a good venue for the disadvantaged who have not the resources to hire a lawyer to defend their rights against privileged private individuals and erring government officials

Especially now that we can no longer trust the Philippine National Police and any organization of the government now that Duterte and his circus is running the show allied with the Chinese government that is soon making the country a province of China.

We've been conquered by Chinese businesses and the so called Filipino Chinese who took advantage of Filipinos and has established their residence in our country by making them richer than the real Filipinos.

The program has now devolved into a humiliation and shaming show. I guess it's better than being buried by the powerful legal team of these corporations who could also manipulate the issue using their PR team that uses paid endorsers to twist the stories.

We have a better chance of getting noticed using the services of Tulfo though it is without any doubt that they are using the issue and taking advantage of the brouhaha to gain an audience and monetize in return. They are after all not just a purely public service but a business that needs to earn from the effort. All that clout equals something rewarding just as how the media sensationalize their news to bring chaos that will eventually give them some rewards.

Tulfo was not the answer to Jollibee's issue. The show is overrated, just like the Pinoy teleseryes, that are overacting & overrated as well. All for the ratings and sponsorship. They need to do that otherwise they won't survive. It's all about the audience and sadly we like watching people get humiliated or scandalized as a form of entertainment.

What we need to do is reform the Philippines' justice system so people do not rely on Tulfo anymore

It’s funny when something’s wrong/something wrong can literally be considered a crime tapos itatag si tulfo sa comments, like what can he do? broadcast it? stir up people’s emotions? profit from the problem?  It's better than waiting a lifetime from our inutile justice procedures. Only those with money will see justice served. But that will also depend on which side is more financially capable and influential. 

Could the Department of Justice send Tulfo a restraining order for his pseudo justice system? His show is like a mockery of the Philippine judicial system. Though we get more results from his show compared to going through the legalities here in the country.

I don't really like how the Tulfo show is  becoming a "justice system" for Filipinos. I understand why some would rather go to him but we should remember that no person should have that much say about a situation especially when there are no standard rules or guidelines followed. But it's better than the trash we are getting from.our government. Having to sacrifice getting somewhat publicly humiliated is a small price to pay.

Can we normalize rejecting Tulfo’s Team for meddling with our personal lives? Guys, hindi sila batas. You can reject them. You have every right to be silent and ignore them. Hindi ikaw ang mapapahiya, hindi ikaw ang mapapagod, sila. You can also sue them if they harass you.

But if you are the complainant, you get to have a chance to get some sort of justice as they do offer an opportunity to be heard.

In short, the masses rely on Tulfo to solve their legal disputes because the justice system does not work for them. If you are not among the affluent and influential, you are better off with Tulfo.

To the extent of even waivering it to Tulfo as the Philippines standard of today’s justice system. Our country is in a bad shape now.
