Sharing the groups that one might be interested/desiring to be in.
Suicide Help Group
The lack of help pages around the interwebs most especially in the country is one of the primary purposes of the creation of the group:
Simply put by the desc:
"This is a SUPPORT group to help those who contemplate suicide, survived someone who had committed it, and generally help each other deal with the intricacies of a fucked up life or lack of it.
DISCLAIMER: We are not professionals; This group is created to help out each other deal with their *tendencies*. Any post that tackles methods of suicide, or seemingly asks for suicide buddies will not be tolerated.
TROLLING/INSULTS/ATTACK ON ONE'S DIGNITY IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. "
We strictly keep posts in the group confidential (the group is in closed mode). Requests to join are accepted and one is free to speak out their pains. Volunteers (especially those with background knowledge on counseling/psychiatry) are also welcome in the group. Here's the link(you have to be logged in facebook): Suicide Help Group
The Rational Filipino [Critical Thinkers Forum] and Idle Chatter
Rational Filipino:
"This group is aimed to promote rational thinking among Filipinos through intellectual debates. Members are encouraged to participate in every discussion, in order to have a fruitful and healthy exchange of ideas. And please be open-minded on all topics and discussions provided by members.
Hate speech, racism, or other profanities are not tolerated. Although humor is encouraged please do maintain clean and wholesome posts and observe proper netiquette.
Topics may vary from science to religion, or pretty much anything under the sun. So there you go. Enjoy!"

Idle Chatter:
"The goal of idle chatter is just to engage and talk of any social issues when you are in idle moments. Religion, Maharlikan issues, politics, music, ligawan, any thing that you should not take too seriously, above all, it is the meeting of the mind across the sea.. to bridge the gap that divide us all - Moderator KG"

AP Crowd
In a teacup: Discussions on national issues (economical, political..etc)
"Does your coach yell at you and tell you what you’re doing wrong in practice? Why does he do that? Is it because he hates you and wants nothing to do with you? You think so? Then why are you still on the team, and starting every game? Sometimes the harshest criticisms, those words that hurt the most, are what in the end lead you to achieve your best.
In a very real way, this is what we’re about. We’re not here to put Pinoys down for the heck of it, after all, we are Pinoys too…it is an altogether uncomfortable realization that the land we call home is a dysfunctional mess, but it is hard not to see the painful truth. We love our country, we want the Philippines and all Filipinos to improve, and for this country and society to live up to its potential. But before that can happen, we need to know what’s wrong about us so that we can fix ourselves and point ourselves in the right direction.
So who is the Anti-Pinoy?
In the day-to-day exchange that defines real life for most Pinoys, the daily news, radio and TV broadcasts, our cinema, and in casual conversation, the masa and those who celebrate mediocrity – those who are quick to boast about how ingenious Pinoys are and point to our colorful Jeepneys as examples, or who count the number of look-alike, sound-alike local celebrities or the once-in-a-generation gifted professional athlete as a measure of national greatness – set an UNPATRIOTIC example and lower the bar of public debate.
The more the Anti-Pinoy glorifies these mediocrities and focuses on the vacuous and the trivial, real issues that affect ordinary lives and futures are forgotten or pushed aside. Like the unambitious student who is praised by his parents despite consistently doing poorly in school, the bad habits and low expectations of Pinoy society are reinforced, making it that much harder with every passing day to find the right path. So that’s where we come in, and we bring a message: The path to prosperity, the path to the place the Philippines deserves among the world community, the path of patriotism for all true Pinoys is to first honestly and bravely acknowledge the ills of society and then have the initiative to seek to fix them.
The Filipino’s greatest enemy is himself – the Anti-Pinoy.
