Where is the harm in adding one, though ?

Semi racist?

English is codified into Philippine law as the official language. All primary students gave to pass a profiency test in English for the past 40+ years. The only Filipinos that don't speak English are the ones that did not attend school, HENCE being illiterate.

Have you noticed how well these Filipinos post in English here?

Lastly Filipino is not s race, Asian is a race.


~BCX~

I already responded to the bolded sentence in another post. I used the wrong word. I meant "employed" instead of "owned".  While I speak English very fluently I still get words mixed up especially when switching back and forth of posting in several different forum sites in three different languages.

No insult meant.

I guess the part that sucks is that BCT is not a consensus ruled kind of place😛

Oh really, I just hope so.


I'll just leave it here.

You see, not all of us are great and efficient when it comes to communicating with English, that's why we demand for our own local sub-forum in which we could freely discuss anything about bitcoins using the language/s we are familiar with and capable of speaking fluently and without the context or substance of our statement being lost. Have you ever gone to the Facebook group of bitcoiners in the Philippines? Well you should consider creating an account in Facebook if you haven't got one and I'll invite you in there to see that there is enough interest about bitcoins.

Sometimes, it's better to consider all things first before you go out and shook your head and disagree to an evident fact. We wouldn't be this persistent to push such a proposal if there are no enough interests on the matter.

It is not hard to do a backread.



THIS!

Well, you are given the stats if you can just back read. There is obviously a need for it certainly because there are people expressing their interest on bitcoin but cannot interact in the main boards due to their lack of understanding and comprehension in English (not most of us, but there are many), so the only way for them to learn and discuss about bitcoins is through a local sub-forum with different other boards so that different topics that are bitcoin-related could be discussed. We understand that there will be a setback in creating a new sub-forum--it is a time-consuming effort to create yet another sub-forum for the local boards but we are here to help in any way we can as long as there would be a sub-forum created for us. We are not in a hurry, we just want to see if there would be any agreement on the community and the admin panels here on what we are proposing.

I honestly don't see any wrong in giving us a subforum. But, we should at least be patient and do this in a calm and respectable manner.

I also support adding a Philippine subforum for us Filipinos, as there is the need for organization, formality and of course it'd be easier for more Filipinos to come join in the Bitcoin world as it's easier to find the discussions.

I personally did not find the Filipino language THREAD until I was PMed so long ago.

Make one please, thanks.
