Viu Philippines, your English subtitle for the #Pdrama “What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?” S01E14 is wrong (mark 20:48). The song playing was not “To be with you” by Kim Won Shik, it is “Here With You” by #BINI.
I'm very impressed with the #Filipino adaptation of #김비서가왜그럴까 / #WhatsWrongWithSecretaryKim. Modern production style, not the old Filipino style. No overused special effects. Fun comedy too!
Feedback 1: No reason to copy the Korean pinky swear. The thumb step is a Korean culture to seal agreements. But it's fine. A good nod to the original. ^_^
Feedback 2: Seatbelts, even for passengers on the back. Shows are a good opportunity to instil the importance of seatbelts in the people's mind.
A very good thing in watching #Tagalog dubbed period #Kdrama from #Viu#Philippines is their translations are not exaggerated. Period #Pdrama by local networks are often exaggerated, or use ancient words (or they invent new ones).
The #fandoms on #Twitter are definitely having a very hard time. I think this is a very good opportunity for #Tumblr to launch their #ActivityPub integration and open their platform to the #fediverse.
Fandoms, especially Asian ones, are familiar with Tumblr already. Tumblr can position themselves as the new place for fandom content.
Happy 125th Independence from Spain my beloved Nation, the Philippines!
(Which ironically, we're still using the name they gave us.)
For today's independence post, let's talk a bit about General Pío del Pilar.
The attached image is the KKK (Katipunan) flag used by General Pío del Pilar, the namesake of barangay Pio del Pilar, #Makati City.
His flag was called “Bandila ng Matagumpay” (en: “Flag of the Triumphants”) and was first used on July 11, 1895. (And his KKK faction was called “Matagumpay” (en: “Triumphants”)
Pío del Pilar was a force to reckoned with. He liberated , defended, and participated in many battles against the Spaniards. Some of these places we know today as Mandaluyong City, Las Piñas City, the Municipality of Pateros, Taguig, the province of Nueva Ecija, parts of Cavite province, and Calamba City (in the province of Laguna), to mention a few. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%ADo_del_Pilar )
Fun facts:
General Pío del Pilar was born in Barrio Culi-culi, San Pedro de Macati.
Barrio Culi-culi is today's barangays Pio del Pilar and Bangkal.
While San Pedro de Macati is now Makati City.
His father was a farmer from Pasay City (one of the oldest cities in the country, and itself was a “kingdom” in pre-colonial times, named after Dayang-dayang (princess) Pasay, daughter of Rajah Sulayman of the “kingdom” of Maynila).
And his mother was an embroider from Mandaluyong City.
