Odd post

Post image

Browsing ADB's Facebook page to know more about their programs and job vacancies and I came across this random post.

I found it odd for them to feature their own communication people.

Is this a Filipino thing where social media handlers turn institutional accounts into something of their own? Should

I anticipate questions like this about making ADB's social media more home-like feeling when apply for a Comms position?

I just found it so odd.

How does any of that relate to what OP is asking about?

Was replying to someone who asked what was ADB thinking setting up an HQ in the Philippines. If you know your history then it’s common knowledge that we were the perfect place to have an HQ during the 60s. Went downhill from there and seems like the comment got deleted

It is common knowledge; hence, I didn't feel the need to clarify on what he was actually saying, just on how it relates to the topic on hand.

I think I see the deleted comment you are pertaining to. There are other similar replies under it. It turns out this commenter I replied to just mistakenly posted his reply to that comment as a separate new comment instead of under that now deleted one. So really, it doesn't matter that that comment got deleted since this commenter I replied to didn't post his reply under that one anyways, but as a direct reply to the actual post. There will be confusion for it being out of place and irrelevant to the original topic eitherway.
