I joined the ASEAN Hive Community a day I get my hive account with such enthusiasm, eager to connect with fellow Filipinos, Asian Brother and Sister and share my passions with the world. I envisioned lively discussions, collaborations, and a supportive network of like-minded individuals. I poured my heart and soul into my posts, sharing my thoughts, my dreams, my experiences, and creative endeavors.

But then came the label: "possible bot account." (HUHUHUHUHUHU) A cold, algorithmic assessment negating my very essence as a hooooman being. It felt like my voice, my unique perspective, was being dismissed as mere code, a manufactured entity devoid of genuine emotion and human connection.
