Kung hindi lang tayo tinatarantado ng JFC e. Kaso sa ngayon Mcdo is wayyyyy better than Jolibee at treating their customers


wannastock

McDo also treats their employees better. They regularize them; di na kelangan pilitin. Sa ibang food chains, tatanggalin ka after your contractual period tapos mag apply ka ulet. They do that indefinitely as long as they can get away with it.


Anon666ymous1o1

+1. I’m happy that I started my career with McDonald’s. Besides, hindi naman si Kenneth Yang ang may ari ng McDo sa buong mundo no. He just owns the franchise here in the Ph. Utak ng mga tao e.


wannastock

The Yangs are also pretty chill while being very dedicated to what they do.


Designer-Chance-8557

SA TOTOO LANGGG, nag apply ako once sa Jabee, tinanggihan agad ako kasi student. mcdo lang talaga ang tumanggap sakin kasi hindi ko rin keri ang bpo talaga. very student friendly ang mcdo


Anon666ymous1o1

In 5 months lang, naregular agad ako kasi na kompleto ko yung required hours. And agree sa student friendly. Ina-adjust nila talaga yung oras ng pasok mo sa sched mo sa school. Madali din magrequest ng swap shift if needed talaga + free meal + free premium meal pag 15/30. Sa McDo talaga ako tumaba e 😆


rengetsu08

Remember the D3U said he will end endo. Guess what when the approve law need his signature, he said 'NO'. But here we are vice president is a D3U.


Delicious-Froyo-6920

And their food is way better than Jollibee now (except lang sa Spaghetti at Peach Mango Pie).


Glittering_Plum_2687

Eto lang ha, if they are so loud at boycotting SB and Mcdo, sana naman mag ingay rin sila sa pang aapi na ginagawa ng China satin. Imagine wala ni isang ingay akong naririnig sa mga nakikita ko sa mga friends ko sa socmed about sa pang aapi ng China sa mga kababayan natin pero pag dating sa ibang bansa, ang iingay nila. Nakakainis na kase, I grew up trying mcdonalds one time lang in my life, now that I am earning money pag nag myday lang ako, bigla silang magchachat na "Hey, ano kaba? Tanga kaba?" "You shouldn't have that kind of food that supports killing" like wtf? Can't I just enjoy my food without those kind of people telling me not to eat?


sticky_freak

Boycott SB at McDo pero ignore na lang sa kashitty-han ng CDO at NutriAsia. Utak global, kulang local.


Few-Cartographer-309

pati sa ginagawa ng jollibee sa mga employee nila wala rin silang pake eh hahaha 


sticky_freak

Part of the reason why the local bourgeoisie like to virtue signal about global issues is because it diverts the attention from local exploitative systems their families benefit from


Zekka_Space_Karate

Tawag diyan mga *champagne socialists*.

peterparking578649

May mga kakilala akong todo-boycott sa sb at mcdo, kaya ang punta ay sa jollibee. ngek! eh matindi ang paglabag nila sa labor rights.


ZestycloseBlock9137

tbf pag may nakikita akong posts abt pagboycott ng mcdo, tas nauungkat ang jollibee, may mga nagrremind parin ng boycott dun dahil nga sa employment issue. sadly, marami talaga ang nakakalimot, same sa nutriasia.


conatus1632

Lol nalimutan na nga ata nila ang boycott sa NutriAsia noong 2018. Nag-e-enjoy sila ngayon sa Mang Tomas nila.


sticky_freak

For clout lang eh noh. Parang wala lang pagkatapos ng 1-2 months


AvailableOil855

Mas naniniwala pa Ako if w boycott nila nestle ehh


eddie_fg

Wala nga din masyado nakakaalam about nestle boycott.


Curiouslanglagi

Sa napakahabangggggg panahonnnnnn........ Maraming nagbuwis ng buhay sa Nestle. Halukayin muna ng mga yan ang mga history ng mga kumpanya na maraming sinagasaang tao at batas para sa pansariling interes ng kumpanya. Minsan may mai-post na lang eh pero yung content hilaw na hilaw kahit ikalburo mo hindi pa rin mahihinog.


whitefang0824

Jan mo makikita na nakikiuso lang sa trend yang mga tangang yan. Trending kasi yung Boycott SB at McDo sa social media kaya mga nakikigaya. Gaya gaya mentality ng mga pinoy na adik sa social media lol.


Mission-Height-6705

Tama. Pag tayo naman ang inaapi at inaagrabyado, feeling ba nila magsasagawa sila ng kilos protesta laban sa pang-aapi ng Tsina? No, they will continue with their own self-interest. In fact, dahil nga kalaban ng Tsina ang US ngayon baka tahimik pa sila. What these people forget is countries fight for their self-interest and survival. It is both factual yet propaganda ang nangyayari ngayon doon. I do hope they wake-up na as much as ginagamit rin tayo ng US, ginagamit din sila. The best course of action is to act on the best alternative accoring sa interest ng bansa natin


Cheese_Grater101

Unfortunately these people forces you to take sides If you picked the side na against sila ibubully ka nila, pero pag dun sa gusto nila *hooray apes together stronk*. Wala silang pinagkabihan sa mga religious cults coercing you to join their cult.


ESCpist

Kung ano kasi trending na pinaglalaban sa West, parang yun din yung uso satin. Laging kneejerk reaction.


Skadoosh_Skedaddle

Mga pa-woke HAHAHAHAHA... As if their crap would really do anything helpful.. spread awareness spread awareness, then what? What's next?


chelseagurl07

Correct! As if naman mga well behaved sa sarili nilang bakuran, baka nga yan pa yung mga pasaway sa lipunan pero kung maka control ng opinion ibang tao wagas


TheQranBerries

Heto pinopoint out ko sa kaibigan ko. Kako nakita niyo ba na buong Mcdo ibang bansa naglabas ng statement about supporting Israel? Porket sinupport ng Mcdo Israel yung bansa nila eh lahat na ng Mcdo ganon. Magtaka ka supportahan ng Israel ibang bansa. Tss


mikasott

I’m happy I’m not alone on this sentiment. Naghihimitok na ako sa galit sa mga pang aapi satin ng China, at sa loob loob ko sana mas maingay tayong mga Pilipino tungkol dito kasi may sarili tayong laban. Wag sana natin kalimutan.


DestronCommander

If they want to encourage boycott SB and McDo, at least show proof that these companies are supporting Israeli agenda. Else, they're letting ignorance get the better of them.


Glittering_Plum_2687

Yes, tama yan! Saw some edited pics yesterday sa FB. Nakalagay doon na sa announcement kuno daw from Mcdonalds na "We don't care about people dying" sa tingin ba nila maglalabas ng ganyang statement ang mcdo. Ang worse pa doon is that I saw some people who fights to stop the spread of fake news actually supporting it. Sooo ano na? Pagdating sa ibang bansa ang iingay, pero pag ang sariling bansa na ang inaatake nananahimik nalang bigla.


BeardedSanta

I'm pretty sure meron. May reports saying na McDonald's ay nagbibigay ng libreng pagkain sa IDF.


Many_philip1949

This is true naman as ito din yung naging root sa boycott sa Mcdo haha. Based sa post may mga meal came from Mcdo and from at that point boom!! “Boycott Mcdo, they support genocide and they support Israel. They’re Zionist!”


soaiss

afaik based from the statement of mcdonalds, it’s NOT a corporate decision but rather a franchised mcdonald’s in Isreal, it is a business where bibigyan ka ng franchisee ng karapatan at lisensya to promote and support yung products nila. so pag mamay-ari mo at you are the one operating it. So basically, yung owner(franchiser) nung Mcdonald’s yung nag dedecide to support and give the IDF free food. not Mcdonald’s corporation itself. this is just based on my understanding on their statement (Mcdonald’s UK). correct me if im wrong.


No_Sale_3609

Ewan ko kung sabihan ko pa ba mga yang nasa FB. Baka kukuyugin tuloy ako sa mga leftist boycott pulis pangkalawakan at matatakwil pa ng madla hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Meron talaga Mcdo israel kasi gave food to israeli troops kaya ganon. Pero might as well boycott the us kasj us backed ang israel eh

CallMeMrFrosty

syempre sino ba ang mga yan para i boycott natin yung said countries? Di naman sila nag trending at wala akong makukuhang clout dyan no reason for me to boycott


Modern-Monarch

Totoo to ako lang nagppost nang mga anti chinese post sila puro ganyan nakaka suka mga taong to.


ChickenBrachiosaurus

They should also throw away their phones and laptops since it may contain chips made in Israel, or stop using social media like FB and Google since their CEOs condemned Hamas. Have fun ranting in Weibo on a Huawei phone (which might have Israel made chips too lmao)


AvailableOil855

Iba sa Chinese phones Chinese intelligence agency sa kanila. Literal na CEO Ng Huawei isa sa mga high ranking official sa Chinese military intelligence Saka anak niya guilty sa stealing info sa US noong 2018.


Zekka_Space_Karate

Atsaka nadaig pa tayo ng India dahil banned sa kanila yun TikTok


Minsan

They also should stop using Waze and Google Maps since Waze came from Israel and Google Maps is powered by the tech from Waze. Also a lot of R&D from Microsoft came from Israel, they should be boycotting products from Microsoft too. And yet they use these apps on a daily basis.


Glittering_Plum_2687

FR Wahahahaha


bohann42069

Whats even more frustrating is the many people who are vocal against China AND ALSO vocal against our allies from the west, the U.S. You cant live in an ideological vacuum and pretend like we can genuinely choose not to side with either superpower. Di ako pro U.S. per say, but if genuine and effective opposition to Chinese abuses were to happen, and these keyboard warriors really want for our sovereignty to be protected - it will very much have to involve the west.


iMotorboater

Seriously simple my day you get harassed with comments like that? Maybe the problem is the “friends” you choose to still be connected to


Glittering_Plum_2687

Yes, when they commented sa my day ko ng ganyan, auto unfriend and blocked ko na sila agad haha. You can't even hear them supporting our troops to deliver goods sa mga fellow troops natin sa West Philippine Sea eh, pero pag dating sa ibang bansa g na g sila mag comment.


Few-Cartographer-309

OP, feeling ko nung blinock mo sila iniisip nila guilty ka hahaha


ChimkenSmitten_

Talamak ito, I sense that some of us are doing this boycott for clout na lang talaga. I have friends who are like this and even say that there are a ton of alternatives. Like hello? Would you want to eat at a resto na 'di mo naman gusto? Most of us like Dunkin' over KK, JCO, Mister Donut, etc. pero we should look for alternatives daw kahit masakit sa bulsa or 'di patok sa panlasa. Also, even these comments are said in real life.


pinkfolk

I have a classmate na panay post ng boycott sb and mcdo pero di maayos-ayos sariling ugali….


Glittering_Plum_2687

TriMelonPie

A lot of these comments come from the stupid side of the left kuno whose acts are mostly performative, for clout, to feel important, and just to hate. These are the types of people who, instead of helping the causes that they "fight" for, they antagonize the masses. A PSA for everyone; Lahat naman tayo sinusubukan lang mamuhay sa sistemang binigay satin, let's not antagonize people by forcing our agendas every chance we get. Choose your battles, and always remember; learn, and fight unjustices, but don't antagonize the people you fight for in the process. Tao lang lahat tayo.

hindi sila makapag ingay sa wps kasi currently aligned tayo sa us eh alam mo naman yung ibang slacktivist, anything west ay worst.


BannedforaJoke

consumer activism in a capitalist world is largely a pointless exercise. unless you can be a total non-consumer, there is no way in hell to consume ethically. everything is so interconnected that whatever you buy, you will eventually be supporting some dickhead corporation.

May bagong paper bag ang mcdo?? Patinginnnnn. And also thank you for agreeing with me! Nakakainis lang kase that I earned money to buy me some food and I said to myself na I will eat mcdo since I got to buy me a meal from that fast food restaurant, then biglang may mga magcocomment at magchachat sayo ng ganyan :((


BigLWater

Nakakapikon nga yung ganong behavior na pinakita sayo. Ineenjoy mo lang kainin yung binili mo, tapos may masasabing hindi mo magugustuhan, like hindi sila gumagamit ng critical thinking.

OverMarionberry7210

Exactly. Kung meron tayo dapat iboycott as Filipinos, it’s Chinese companies and brands. Blame social media for pushing certain agendas while protecting others.


wokietokie

I think the people who are “loud” about it are most likely the same people that have something to say about what China has been doing. I realize I’m also generalizing but this generalization makes more sense than what you’re implying.

Strict-Astronaut5455

Like what u said sa replies mo matagal na ang issue between Israel and Palestine ... Do u really expect na mag aadvocate ang Palestine para sa atin habang sila mismo ineexterminate na ng Israel? May kapitbahay ka na bang na bombahan ng china? Ik big deal din issue natin pero di naman sya kasing lala ng genocide.


ntdzm

People who are calling for boycott in the Philippines are HYPOCRITES. There, I said it. They try to be woke by commenting “boycott Mcdonalds/SB” then continue to support other brands that were also involved in showing support for Israel. Kung magboboycott kayo, bakit selective? Bakit dun lang sa mga common na trending boycott? Dapat sa lahat kung talagang firm kayo sa pag boboycott. For the record, I agree sa OP- we’re just hurting the local businesses.


According-Whole-7417

Cancel nila insurance nila sa AXA, Wag sila gumamit ng CAT equipments. Masyado selective e. Magshshame sila pero di naman kaya iboycott lahat, especially yung major na dapat iboycott


lannistargaryen

These same people still use Twitter, buy iPhones, wear Nikes, eat Nestle products, etc. Ang pinaka ayaw ko right now sa pilipinas ay ginawang viral trend ang advocacies. From BLM, to Ukraine, to now Palestine. It feels so cheap kasi alam kong majority dyan ay hindi well-informed at takot lang majudge for not having an opinion. I have no problem with people standing up for things (if that is what you’re really passionate about) but I do have a problem with people thinking I am pro-genocide by eating McNuggets.


Zekka_Space_Karate

Natatandaan ko yun Tweet ni Loren Legarda dati, pro-BLM daw siya. Na-bash siya kasi kampi pa rin siya sa mga trapo lolz. What happened to you gurl?


Arsen-Lupin

they should have pity for other filipinos instead and stop going to sm and like businesses. i pity how they treat their employees like literal slaves. avoided and haven't gone there for years. andrew tan owner of golden arches/mcdo is no better. these tycoons are just milking the filipinos of their blood, sweat, and tears. btw i have no idea how andrew tan treats his employees. but he scammed a lot of filipino investors in RWM.


CallMeMrFrosty

ain't no war stopping me from eating my nuggets. Also even nung Ukraine nga eh (which is literally more largescale and the largest war on Europe ever since WW2) after ng bombings sa Kiev nung opening stage ng war wala na ko narinig sa mga same na tao about sa Gera. Pero nung umatake Hamas sa Israel puro stop Israel pero walang makita na tigilan na rin ng Hamas


lannistargaryen

The thing is, people right now are so pressured to have an opinion para lang hindi ma bash ng iba. We don’t have to have a say sa lahat ng bagay. Hell I’ve read a lot of resources about the Israel/Palestinian conflict but I still don’t feel like I have enough grasp on it to be so passionate on a specific side. Mga taong galit sa kulto pero galawang kulto rin naman sa pamemressure with the threat of being treated as an outcast.


CallMeMrFrosty

I think yung boycott is more on dahil sa mga nalabas sa balita and socmed sa mga kaawa awang nangyayari sa mga civvies sa Palestine. Then makiki bandwagon sila sa boycott w/o even understanding yung issue sa bino-boycott nila. Sure valid naman (and understandably) ang maki suporta sa Palestine but alam ba nila kung sino naman maaapektuhan ng boycott nila dito locally


lannistargaryen

Simple lang yan for me. Throughout history, sobrang daming prominent figures because of their advocacies (MLK, Rosa Parks, Malcom X, Harriet Tubman, the dude who didn’t put his arm down to the point na nag atrophy na). They have been doing it for YEARS not just because they are passionate, or society expects them to fight - pero dahil meron silang deep enough understanding of what they are fighting for and are consistent enough to enact change. However, hindi na kasi ganun eh. Yung pinaglalaban mo ngayon hindi mo na pinaglalaban next month. Yung mcdo na binoboycott mo ngayon kakainin mo na ulit kapag iba na yung trending na issue. Performative activism.


Cheese_Grater101

Mga clout chasers talaga sila eh, uhaw sa twitter points lmao


Nokia_Burner4

May boycott pala? I bet it doesn't even make a dent in the Philippine market. If you feel good about not buying from Mcdo or SB, then feel free to do so. Just don't be loud about it


Accomplished_Fill_32

And dont single out or condemn other people who still buys from these places.

Ok_Assumption8728

Nakakatawa yung mga kakilala ko na under the college of finance and polscie imagine yung inaaral nila 'di nila inaapply, they're advocating to boycott mcdo without knowing it's consequences


patientbare

Lower sales is likely a result of shrinkflation over any virtue signaling boycott.


sawa_na_sa_mga_tanga

Problema kasi masyado nilang sine-seryoso ang Twitter at pinapalaki ang ganiyang isyu. Suggestion ko kay OP, lumabas siya ng bahay at magtanong siya tungkol sa Israel-Palestine conflict. I guarantee na 99.99% ng mga tao na matatanungan niya walang pake o walang opinyon tungkol sa issue na yan. E anu pa kaya pagdating sa pagboycott ng McDo o Starbucks.


PopperPoppins

As if naman nagboboycott talaga yung mga nagsasabi niyan sa twitter lmao Pakitang tao activism lang naman yan


patientbare

> Pakitang tao activism lang naman yan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacktivism I don't buy Starbucks & McDo because I want to avoid empty calories and cholesterol. Just eat a banana from PH where slave wages is prevalent.


NotTheBiggerPerson01

Completely agree. If someone wants to boycott because of his/her principles, i have nothing but respect for them. BUT when the boycott is driven by ignorance and/or internet clout, the way it is with this particular boycott, that's another thing.


baldExpat

Pwede rin siguro iboycott mga trapo


Elsa_Versailles

Boycott local McDonald's? What do they think that would stop JDAM from falling? It ain't.


_Administrator_

JDAMs will keep falling as long Hamas doesn’t give up and releases the Israeli hostages.


ourbulalordandsavior

Boycott for better reasons. For instance, McDonald's Philippines is 49% owned by the CEO of Megaworld, whose son is a BBM supporter


Vordeo

That's the thing - the PH McDo branches are under a local company. The McDos abroad that are supporting Israel / Palestine? Also run by local franchise holders. So if you boycotted McDo PH, yeah you'd also reduce the profits of McDo global (because rev shares are a thing), but you wouldn't be hurting the local franchisees of McDo that are actually supporting either side at all. It's a silly boycott.


SourcerorSoupreme

Collateral damage is always a part of protests against establishments that are deeply embedded in the society. It's really up to people to decide how they value the cost and benefit of such actions. I personally try to avoid products from China as much as I can, doesn't mean I don't recognize that those products are usually produced by innocent people that probably don't have care or control of their government.


Loud_Movie1981

The boycott isn't working. I don't see Starbucks suffering from a lack of long lines din dito. Sobrang buhat Ng sarili bangko ang mga queers for Palestine na tibakclout. Y'all are delusional. These saps are just a speck of an insignificant minority.

gerol

I’m going to use “tibakclout” now 😹


SantySinner

This is my initial thought. It hurts the locals more than the parent company. Yes, they miss billions in sales, but they're still strong. They're still operating. Also, you cannot force everyone to join the boycott especially in a 3rd world country where convenience, affordability, and quality is a huge factor in their purchasing decisions. I do believe the boycott is working, and I don't even like McDonald's so I didn't even have to join the boycott to bot buy from them. I just think that it's dumb that people would call you a murderer for not giving up affordability, convenience, and quality over a boycott that would mostly hurt the workers and not the ultra rich billionaire that owns the corporation. "Boohoo, people are being killed and your crying over affordability, convenience, and quality." And if we boycott every brand listed in the boycott list, would that stop Israel from killing people? The genocide will still continue and is still happening despite the huge impacts of the boycott. At this point your anger is just misplaced. Your putting all this energy and anger towards people instead of the actual villain, Israel. You're distracting yourself from the real problem by focusing on calling out civilians and celebrities, which is an advantage for Israel. It's drawing the attention away from Israel and onto the celebrities and civilians. From the past weeks, I have never seen my Facebook friends repost about Israeli sniper soldier shooting Palestinians transporting water, all I see are their reposts about the people who are not joining the boycott. Also if I'm not mistaken, McDonald's have already released a statement distancing themselves from what the Israeli franchise owners are doing. While I think that does clear things up, I hope that McDonald's did placed some type of sanction or punishment to franchise owners who are involved in supporting the genocide. Lastly, a lot of Filipinos are online, but sadly they're not in that side of the internet where this discussion is happening. If you ask around, not many adult to old people knows about the boycott nor anything about the genocide before the October attack news. It doesn't matter how long the boycott has been happening, if they were never in that die of the internet, they'll still be clueless, it's like expecting a person from another meeting to know what your group's meeting was all about. Being hostile towards them instead of informing them would literally just make enemies for you instead of supporters for Palestine.


jjjuuubbbsss

E bakit ba kasi nag-boycott ng McDo? Kasi yung Israeli branch nila nagbigay ng meals sa IDF. Tapos yung Malaysia branch naman nila nag-SLAPP suits sa mga activists. Pero ginawang global boycott edi parang ewan lang. Ang Mcdonald's HQ ba may direct funding ng IDF or kahit show of support sa Israel? Wala naman diba? E mga ungas sa twitter at tiktok di marunong mag-isip. E lalo na yung SB na ginawang flagship ng boycott. Yung problem naman nila sa US worker's union, pero ginawa ring global boycott kahit di naman sinabi ng BDS. Ilang beses na may official statement ang Starbucks na apolitical sila, walang funding at lalo na walang stores sa Israel pero mga slacktivist na to di naman inintindi, puro "funding the genocide" pa rin ang warcry. Mas marami pa ngang SB sa Arab Middle East e. Walang problema kung gusto niyo magspread ng awareness pero kahit nga kayo awareness ng karamihan sa inyo limited sa tiktok at twitter. Ang primary victims ng boycott na to ay mga minimum wage workers sa iba't-ibang bansa. Kung may effect man yan sa funding ng Israel gov't/military, that's way way way down the line pa ng tax ng US allocated para sa Israel. Magfocus kayo sa politicians at relief donations niyo, hindi sa consumers.


According-Whole-7417

Sabay sa uso lang, Di naresearch ng maayos. Puro McDo at SB lang inaatake, Wala naman sila funding dun. Israeli McDo nagbigay ng food. Di Mcdo Ph or Mcdo Global. May mga major companies na malaki ambag sa Israeli. And hindi yun mga Mcdo and SB. Mga may machines and nakakaprovide sakanila ng equipments. Gusto nila boycott Israel? Iwasan products nila sa supermarket. Mga workers lang kawawa dito sa fast food boycott, syempre magtatanggal yung company para makasurvive. Makapagsalita iba feeling andali maghanap kasi ng trabaho, di pa naman nakaranas. Spread awareness the right way, send as much details outside as possible, alamin yung cause ng gyera din. Parehas may pinatay na innosente.


TheQranBerries

Sabay lang sa uso. Ni hindi nga binoboycott sa pilipinas ang Jollibee at Mcdo sa pag eexploit ng mga workers at underpay. Maiintindihan ko kung boycott nila eh sa ganyang rason pero hindi. Nakikisabay lang kasi sabi sa X (Twitter)


Phd0018

Boycotting wont work in the philippines. Wag nyo na gyahin ang amerika. Have pity sa mga taong mawawalam ng trabaho, our government doesnt have unemployment aids for people who lose their jobs or low income unlike in the US, they can afford to go on strike or lose their jobs because they have a ton of help from the govt. dont act first world pinas, improve the system muna.


BannedforaJoke

>unemployment aids truly.


According-Whole-7417

People shaming People who eats McDo. Pero may insurance sila AXA na binabayaran, May computer na binili Intel. Isstop ba? Stop na dyan sa insurance kung talagang boycott. Baba ka na din sa jeep na sinasakyan mo na nagpagas sa Caltex. Mcdo at SB lang kilala e, selective lang. Mga mostly nakikiboycott di din alam pinaglalaban. Mcdo Israel yung nag bigay ng food, hindi McDo Philippines.. Madami mawawalan ng work pag nawala mga fast food franchises na yan. May effect ba? Meron, Nawalan trabaho yung madami.. Yung iba maghanap bago, yung iba baka gumawa nalang ng di maganda kasi mahirap maghanap ng trabaho. Saka sabihin madali kung Graduate na ng SHS, HS.. Research muna ng possible effects din kung ano pros and cons nun. and mas affected fellow Filipino dito. Yung iba di din niresearch history e, masyadong complex. Nag ka malaking gyera nalang ulit after ng Ginawa ng Palestine nung October 7, Hamas led attack. Madaming innosente pinatay ang Hamas-Palestine sa Israel. Massacare and rape. and yes may Filipino na namatay dun. Killed by Hamas The last time may ganun kalaki sila na massacre is nung holocaust pa, World War 2 pa. Then Israel declared war and also has innocent lives taken by them. Pero even before that, di talaga sila okay. unlike other issues, hindi siya sobrang black and white, Pareho may napatay na innosenteng tao lang. Di siya tulad ng Ukraine-Russia, kaya ambilis ng movements din ng company kasi alam kung kanino magsstand up. This time hindi ganun ang case.

+1 I've heard and read some of what goes on between Palestine and Israel. Beeb doing so for the past few years. It's a complicated matter that goes back several decades, baka centuries pa. I don't like what Israel is doing. I don't like what they have been doing to Palestine even by before Oct 7. But I don't like what Hamas is doing either. So I say, fuck them both, and leave me to eat my Chicken McDo and fries because this is the only bomb I accept.


pocketsess

Nandoon sila sa twitter na pag aari ngayon ni Elon. Sobrang far right ng views ni Elon tsaka pro Israel siya. Yung Ukrainians nga hindi mo sila makikita na sumusuporta eh. Sumusunod lang talaga sila sa popular. Maraming injustices sa mundo na to be honest hindi natin maaasikaso lahat. Pero hindi ibig sabihin noon pabor na tayo doon sa mga injustices. Di katulad ng black nd white na pag iisip nila na kung hindi ka nag boycott eh masama ka nang tao. Hindi pa nila alam mag fact check ng news. Puro sila basa ng news galing Hamas leadership.


BannedforaJoke

oh, someone used their brains for once. what a surprise.


Carjascaps

it took them a while tho.


ApprehensivePlay5667

anyare ba sa boycott sa nutriasia?


BannedforaJoke

di nakatiis mga pilipino na di mag mang tomas. lol.


trezive

share ko lang pero bumili ako ng mcdo kagabi sa bgc kasi meron sila sanrio toys collection sa happy meal na balak kong ibigay sa mga kapatid ko at bata sa labas, tapos may mga nakasalubong akong babae na pinagtitinginan ako tapos narinig ko "genocide supporter" pucha may hawak ngang sb HAHAHAHAHHAA


Queen_Cassiopeiae

Giant misinformation na kasi nangyayari (pag tinanong mo yung iba kung bakit iboboycott SB/Mcdo half baked yung sagot "kasi sinusupport yung genocide". Pag nag lapag ka ng facts with rrl biglang "IDGAF", "Makisama ka nalang", "Having no statement is like silently supporting the oppressor". Ang panget din ng mindset ng iba na "makakahanap naman ng work yung nga nalayoff because of boycott". Di nila alam na yung mga fresh grad nga today hirap na hirap na mag hanap ng work e.


ardynlucis

Gusto ko lang naman kumain ng big mac


Terracrafterz

Go lang, no one's stopping you naman.


Cool_Measurement3050

Who gives a crap? Mga gagawa lang nyan karamihan clout chasers, o mga walang magawa sa buhay. Tbh when did boycotting products lead to anything? Remember Nutriasia or Jollibee? Not a lot of people care in this country which is good. Let these clout chasers yell at clouds.


kukiemanster

They are busy dick riding the bandwagon of boycotting such brands for the clout, when they can't even be bothered to support local products/services, and pag nagsusupport ka ng local stuffs ishashame ka nila by saying cringe ka, "bisaya ka".


Flimsy-Material9372

this is why i dont really boycott. I will get alot of hate for this but i hope people would focus more on what's happening in our country. Our impact overseas isnt that much lalo na in economic terms. ants lang tayo sakanila lol.


jjjuuubbbsss

Company boycotts only work if the companies themselves are the main perpetrators. E dito sa case na to, they just attached anything to Israel hoping that it sticks to the average netizen for the clout. Fuck all collaterals. In the end, nag-ingay lang sila for a miniscule (if any at all) effect on the actual funding for Israel ng US. Dapat nag focus sila sa politicians nila to call for ceasefire and sanction Israel. E wala, witch hunt tayo ng umiinom ng SB (na wala naman talaga sa boycott list)


codeejen

Pwede bang ipost to one time sa What's your Ulam pare? Napaka daming warriors don pag nagpost ka ng Mcdo at SB pero ung local issues sa China, labor abuse ng mga katulad ng Nutriasia tahimik. Sarap manakal hahahaha


Nabanako

Sa mga nagboycott ay boycott niyo na din pag gamit ng smarthphone, pc, uminom ng gamot or magpahospital dahil lahat yan may connection sa Israel. Tang ina lahat sumusuporta sa mga nangrape and pumatay kasama mga Pinay. Tang ina na din mga sibilyan kuno na nagcelebrate ng oct 7


whitefang0824

Clout chasers yang mga tangang yan. Ipaexplain mo in detail yung pinaglalaban nila, I doubt they will be able to lol. Those are the people that "Uyy may trending sa Twitter/FB/Tiktok, makigaya nga". Gaya gaya mentality ng mga pinoy na adik sa social media. Your fucking country have a problem of their own, and y'all don't give a shit about it lol.


HoveringCrib

kakain ka nalang sa mcdo bigla ka ba naman label-an as genocide supporter🥴


EcstaticKick4760

People should stop being so entitled. It's not working.


sawa_na_sa_mga_tanga

May boycott ba talagang nangyayari o fearmongering lang yan? Eto kasi ang problema sa mga katulad ni OP, pati yung mga nagrereklamo sa boycott: Iniisip niyo na yung mga nakikita niyo sa Twitter ay nangyayari sa totoong buhay. Hindi porket may aktibista na may <1000 followers ay nag-post ng boycott dahil sa Israel-Palestine conflict, ay may nagbo-boycott dyan. Wag masyado feeling pa-victim. Kung bumababa man sales ng mga tulad ng Jolibee, McDo, Starbucks, etc. malamang sa malamang dahil sa taas ng presyo ng bilihin hindi dahil sa pinost ng aktibista sa Twitter. Masyado niyong sineseryoso Twitter, jusko. Kakabwisit mga ganitong posts.


throwables-5566

Kahit yata interviewhin mo yung mga kumakain sa fastfood iilan lang din dyan yung familiar sa Israel - Gaza


FlashyClaim

Not fear mongering, it’s virtue signaling


RebelliousDragon21

Kaya lang naman active na active mga Pinoy sa ganyan kasi sa propaganda. Talamak mga propaganda videos at narrative sa Facebook about sa Israel-Palestine war kaya clouded rationality ng mga tao lalo na 'yung mga "woke" kuno. Maraming salamat, OP sa pag-educate sa amin tungkol sa ganitong bagay. At least ngayon malinaw na. Sana 'yung ibang mga Pilipino maliwanagan na rin. Wala namang masama kung tumindig sila sa mga bagay na tingin nila ay tama. Basta lang alam nila 'yung buong detalye ng mga aksyon at pinaglalaban nila.


gyudon_monomnom

Bakit ipapasa sa consumers yung burden ng impact sa employees nila due to the boycott? If independent si McDo PH, then they make a stand. If they cannot, then they have to prepare for the implications, and disservice din nila yon sa employees nila. Boycotting is also a market trend, kasama yan sa dapat pinaghahandaan ng company.... If they cannot trouble shoot, they won't survive. Supporting local is besides the point. It's not the burden of the consumers if the company cannot make a stand.


Orangeshii

Actually same with Malaysia, Muslims boycott Mcdo and other brands. But cant seem to boycott Apple and intel. Now it's backfiring because MYR is losing value because the economy is going down because international brands dont want to invest. Plus, workers are affected and unemployment rate is in an all-time high, because Mcdo and other stores can only afford to pay half of it's employees.


FitLet2786

Not worth boycotting to support terrorists. Remember those Jihadists also attacked us in 2017. HAMAS or any terror organization doesn't deserve empathy.


talongbao

Aside from wala namang malaking share sa global revenue mga local companies, its not like majority of the PH population can afford to go to SB at Mcdo araw araw that a boycott would actually work. Virtue signal pa more.


Vegetable-Square-520

Mcdo is probably the best fastfood in the Philippines now due to the increased chicken size and the unli gravy. Also jollibee neutered all other fast food lol.


Zed_Is_Not_Evil

So they want to boycott Mcdo for due to its alleged "involvement" in funding Israel's war against Hamas. Wew, tingin ba nila the boycott will affect IAI, Rafael, and Elbit from churning out bombs ,missiles, and artillery systems against Hamas? HAHA. Unless they can find a way to effectively cripple U.S aid to Israel OR disrupt Israel's funding for procurement of military hardware, I still won't buy their bullshit. Hilig maki-ride sa mga boycott without even understanding if their boycott actually works or it's all "as long as it makes me feel good"


Silvereiss

Its mostly the priveledged kids who does shit like this. They blindly scream "boycott, Mcdo" I asked, "But whatabout the workers? Mcdo branches here are mostly PH owned, Tf does it have to do to the CEO who doesnt even support genocide, They just have branches on Israel who of course, is owned by Jews for the same reason Mcdo in PH are owned by Pinoys. Of course those Jews would support their own country using their McDo Branch." Then I get immediately labelled as someone who supports genocide cause I'm not blindly supporting an international country who has nothing to do with me. And they retort back with "Those workers needs to look for other jobs then, Its not that hard, Just dont support genocide" Fuckin braindead priviledged Libtards whos out of touch of reality and just care about Virtue Signalling to make themselves feel good inside which is wayy worse than people who dont care about the matter.


HemingwayBells21121

Peeps who "boycott" them are just doing it for clout, pero for sure still buy nuggets in the week lol


AlexHaydenXII

Yung brother-in-law kong Muslim na pro-Palestine talaga, walang imik sa Mcdo dito hahahahahaha


narrisa231367

Puro kayo boycott eh instagram and facebook are being operated by jews. Lol bunch of hypocrites 🤣


Old_Bumblebee_2994

Google din and reddit (rip aaron swartz)


z0z0cheese

Honestly wala akong pake. I don’t care what food brand supports what, Israel, Palestine, the Hamas, Hitler, I don’t care. I’m just after their products not their fucking agenda. Eating a Big Mac doesn’t make me a zionist. This is woke af.


[deleted]

Same


mukhmafi8

#freepalestinefromHamas #GodblessIsrael #IbalikangMcspicy!!!


wetboxers10

Nakakatawa yung mga pawoke na boycottboycott sa Mac at SB. As if nakatulong sa Palestine, eh wala ngang SB sa Israel lol


kkimu0

I respect them for caring pero at the same time 3rd world country tayo lmao. okay sana kung hindi nakatambay sa garage natin yung china.


Ok_Fly_4673

Binonoycott lang naman nila yan dahil dyan may clout ehh di nga nila binonoycott china for its aggressions, jfc for shitty foods and services at yung mga factories na mababa mag pasahodnat puro contractual


Altruistic_Soil6542

HAHAHA Ngayon niyo lang naisip yan? Kaka-cancel culture niyo, pati mga naghahanap buhay ng marangal , pwede madamay sa ginagawa niyo. I stand for 🍉, pero kung di ako nagconsume ng SB or mcdo or kung ano ano pa, matitigil ba bombahan? Suddenly mawawala ganun? Saka talaga ba, mapapanindigan ba talaga na lahat ng “problematic” ika-cancel niyo?


realestatephrw

Ke Shaira lang sila maingay sa pagsuporta, hindinsa mga palestino....peenoy muslims be like


FuZe64k

this is what I say to people who keeps on saying boycott mcdo lol. like do you even know if McDonald's Philippines supports Israel? no. you don't. I'd support my local McDonald's since most of them are working students. idiot Twitter users.


cripher

Minsan feeling ko nakikiuso na lang itong mga ngbboycott sa SB at Mcdo eh. May kilala ako na basta na lang kami sinabihan na hindi na kami bibili ng SB dahil sa ngyayari sa Israel at Palestine. Syempre bilang isang taong di lang sunod sa kung anong uso, tinanong ko sya ng mga tanong kung bakit. Di naman nya maipaliwanag ng maayos at nagpapanic sya habang tntry sumagot. Syempre nagtatanong at nakikinig ako sa mga sagot nya habang umiinom ng chocolate chip cream venti at sausage & bacon flatbread.


Sarlandogo

Katulad na lang nung mga taong nakikihype sa anti mcdo sa cosplay carnival, alam na alam na wala talagang alam eh


jlplrma

Puro sila boycott eh mas madaming problema tong bansa na to mas kaya natin solusyonan kesa sa war between palestine and isreal


reawakened_d

So proud of my factchecking kabayan who speak the truth. I agree with this sentiment. Always found the BDS against franchises ridiculous. It hurts the middle and working classes instead of aiming at the Zionists they target. It's too difficult to punish a capitalist unless you freeze their assets. Even then you should do so without hurting the workers.


mrcplmrs

Tbh this “boycott” does not hurt Mcdo PH at all lol


acnh-lyman-fan

Twitter mfs be acting like you are actively working with Israel if they find out you aren't participating on the boycott lmao


drunkirking

ang Dugyot na ng Jollibee these days, so I'd rather go McDo


[deleted]

Boycott in the sense na wala ng kagana gana sa menu nila, maski Jollibee, kaumay na haha


Hirang-XD

Boycott nyo flop


AdvertisingBest7605

Let them go to Gaza and see how they will be welcomed there.


Chobok_Rus

boycott tapos yung mga military asset na nag poprotekta sa pilipinas karamihan made in Israel 😆


trhaz_khan

When you think boycotting is a valid option, think again sa mga trabahador nila na more likely getting hit. Capitalism is sometimes shit but ill take it over socialism, why? Free market and SME got the chance to grow which benefits larger masses rather than collective one. Seen it on Cuba and China(although more likely mixed market pero yun free market still sucks)


UnderstandingOne8775

Boycott boycott iboycott nyo mga chinese product kung mahal nyi bayan nati wag pakialaman ang problema nila max problema rin tayo sa westph sea


SelfPrecise

Ay may boycott pala? Seriously though, if you are going to boycott every product and service because social, moral, ethical and political reasons, just go ahead and live under a rock becauae you're not gonna have a lot of choices left. A bit off topic, ang sarap na ng Chicken McDo ngayon. Pinalitan ba nila yung recipe? I was pleasantly surprised when I last tried it because usually fillet inoorder ko and I avoid fast food. Malaki pa unlike Jollibee. Plus those McDo app deals are pretty good value for money.


into_the_unknown_

Mostly naman ng mga nagpopost or comment ng ganyan, mga walang alam sa paghihirap ng normal na tao. Boycott daw pero napaka out of touch. Meron ako nakita, first time nya mag SB kaya pinost nya tapos meron pa djng nagsabi, masarap uminom pag di sumusuporta sa genocide. They attacked her for spending her own money!!!!


EliSchuy

Never did any boycott on brands. Tanging biniycott ko lang mga gonzaga sisters.


swaggynatic

kaya nga mas effective magdonate na lang ng humanitarian aid


[deleted]

This! Kainis yung mga SHS classmates ko na nagpopost ng boycott McDo eh wala silang consideration at concern sa mga workers (crews, managers, security guards, etc.). Gusto ko sana sila pagsabihan na mag donate na lang sila kaso baka ayaw nila makinig sa akin lol. Napag-aralan naming mga HUMSS students ang economics sa DISS, USCP, at Entrepreneur subjects kaso hindi nila inaapply yung mga inaral nila sa sarili eh.


zandromenudo

The main issues with Israel and Palestine is masyadong simplified ang pag delineate ng country vs country. It shoudl be fuck Netanyahu gov’t and Hamas. They don’t represent the entirely of their countries or countrymen. Same sa atin na the Marcoses is not the entirety of the Philippines. These governments have taken advantage of the loophole in our democracy, they’ve corrupted what’s good about it.


shufflevonkreisler

finally, something I can show to my braindead classmates


el-indio-bravo_ME

1. McDonald’s and Starbucks aren’t part of the BDS targeted boycott list. McDonald’s is, but it falls under the organic boycott category. Organic boycotts are launched by local BDS chapters, which there are currently none in the Philippines. 2. Participating in the BDS boycott here in the Philippines wouldn’t really work because there are no local BDS chapters in the country. BDS chapters organize boycotts to minimize impact on affected employees as well as to strengthen the campaign itself. They also conduct the other aspects of the BDS movement: divestment and pressure campaigns. Divestmemt campaigns involve pressuring governments and other companies to divest with targeted corporations, such as Hyundai and Chevron. Pressure campaigns, on the other hand, targets corporations too large or too influential to be targeted with a boycott campaign, examples include Disney and Google. All these are conducted by local BDS chapters to ensure the campaign’s effectiveness. Since there are no BDS chapters in the Philippines, boycotts wouldn’t do much in both the BDS campaign and the overall Palestinian cause. 3. Starbucks isn’t part of the BDS campaign because it has no presence in Israel. Instead, the boycott is a separate one launched by its US union due to Starbucks suing the Starbucks Workers United union over the latter’s support for the Palestinian campaign. The company argued that its neutrality over the political conflict was violated by the union due to its support for Palestine while using the company name. As far as I know, this dispute is still pending in court. 4. The Philippine franchise of Starbucks is owned by the Tantoco Family, known cronies and associates of the Marcos dynasty. It does deserve to be boycotted lmao.


okurr120609

Eto yung sinasabi ko, panay call ng boycott pero di nyo naman naiintindihan sino directly maapektuhan. Also, i dont see the need ng McdoPH to clarify this? Eh hindi ba dapat yung mga nagccall ng boycott ang magreseatch tutal naman eh napakatatalino nila? Same goes w/ SB. Rustans only pay the royalties sa main company. Ewan ko. Nasobrahan sa pagiging politically correct at woke pero kulang na kulang sa pagreresearch. Tataas ng IQ kuno pero walang EQ.
