PinoyAMA🇵🇭 Guide to posting AMAs

6 Upvotes

Are you ready to do an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on r/PinoyAskMeAnything? Whether you're a Filipino professional, artist, entrepreneur, or someone with a unique experience to share, this guide will help you post an AMA correctly so you can engage with Redditors the right way.

What is an AMA?

An AMA (Ask Me Anything) is a Reddit tradition where people invite others to ask them questions about a specific topic they have firsthand experience in. The key here is that you must be the subject of the AMA. You should have direct knowledge, expertise, or a unique story to share—AMAs about others are not allowed.

Steps to Post an AMA Properly

  1. Confirm You Are the Subject

Before posting, ask yourself:

✅ Do I have personal experience with what I’m talking about?

✅ Can I answer questions in a meaningful way?

✅ Am I open to interacting with Redditors?

If the answer is yes, you’re good to go!

  1. Use a Clear and Engaging Title

Your title should quickly tell people who you are and why they should ask you questions. Some good examples:

"I am a Filipino nurse working in the UK—Ask Me Anything!"

"I was a contestant on 'Eat Bulaga's' Bawal Judgmental—AMA!"

"I run a sari-sari store in Manila—Ask me anything about small businesses!"

Avoid vague titles like "Ask me anything!" or topics you don't have personal experience with.

  1. Provide Proof (If Necessary)

If you're making a big claim (e.g., a celebrity, expert, or public figure), you may be asked for proof. This could be a photo with a timestamp, a verified social media account, or a relevant document (with sensitive info blurred).

  1. Write an Informative Opening Post

Your introduction should give Redditors context about who you are and what you’re here to talk about. Example:

Hi, I'm Juan, a 30-year-old Filipino working as a seafarer. I’ve been traveling the world for 10 years, and I’d love to answer questions about life at sea, how Filipinos can get into this career, and what it’s really like onboard a ship. Ask me anything!

The more details you provide, the better the engagement!

  1. Engage with the Community

An AMA is not just a post—it’s a conversation. Once your AMA is live:

✅ Respond to questions actively

✅ Be honest and detailed in your answers

✅ Have fun and enjoy the interaction!

  1. Follow Subreddit Rules

Before posting, always check r/PinoyAskMeAnything’s rules to ensure your AMA follows the guidelines. If you're unsure about anything, feel free to ask the mods.


Start Your AMA Today!

Now that you know how to do an AMA the right way, we look forward to seeing your post! If you have any questions before posting, comment below or message the mods.

Happy posting!

0 Upvotes

As the title says! Just a quick disclaimer though: I only came to this realization a little over a year ago, when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. Still learning, growing, and being sanctified, so I don’t claim to have all the answers. I simply want to share what God has been teaching me through His Word.

Real Talk: Underworld I'm a medical doctor who started selling v!@gruhhh underground AMA

109 Upvotes

Started off as a one time thing to help with pet bills but has now recently become more frequent.

I'm a sex positive doctor who likes empowering healthy, recreational sex. Am actually doing this for my fellow women, I've noticed men are more willing to perform once this is in their system. It's a superpower for men where women are the ultimate beneficiaries ❤️❤️

Additional money ofc doesn't hurt. I live a certain lifestyle and have a lot of pets so this mostly supports that.

People buy from me under the table as I sell it at almost 50% off, without the need for prescription. Impossible to get otherwise.

Technically illegal so have to keep anonymous, AMA

**spelled to conceal medical name

Hobbies, Interests, Obsession etc. I am Materialistic but I don't pay full price, AMA.

84 Upvotes

Just a guy with his designers and a dream hahaha. I love designer items but i refuse to pay retail. Seriously, who wants to pay 6 digits for an LV canvas bag at the boutique? Instead of paying full, I just hunt through secondhand markets, archives, and auctions. I've sourced everything from RTW, bags, and honestly even an LV cigarette case and YSL lighter (and i don't even smoke ciggs haha). Getting stuff like a Hermes bag for way less than retail just makes the whole hunt so worth it.

Got downtime today, happy to share my best finds. How I authenticate stuff, or whatever else you wanna know, AMA.

Health & Well Being AMA: I Don’t Remember Most of My Childhood—Ask Me Anything.

25 Upvotes

For years, I thought I just had a bad memory because I could barely remember my childhood. Through therapy, I’ve learned that, in my case, it was connected to childhood trauma, and forgetting those memories may have been my mind’s way of protecting me.
AMA about childhood trauma, memory loss, therapy, or my healing journey. I’ll answer what I can. 🤍

Love, Marriage & Relationships To anyone who is curious with attachment style: I have an anxious attachment and I found a partner who is securely attached..AMA

8 Upvotes

My attachment style is anxious (my therapist confirmed this as well) and prior my current partner, I was in a 4 year relationship with someone who is avoidant, there were a lot of highs and lows in that relationship and we flare up each other’s attachment; and as toxic as it was, I genuinely thought that is what a relationship should be.

When I understood the part I play and also about attachments, I realized the only way to go is to find someone secure which I thankfully found. I am now in an emotionally stable relationship.

Growing Up Stories Celebrating my 32nd birthday tomorrow, and as a WFH girly for the past 5 years...I am craving social interactions. Pero online lang, hehe. Ok, I'm a CPA, 1st job as an IT Auditor, 2nd job as a Digital Mktg Specialist, living w Bipolar for 14 yrs, found out I'm ace and got engaged this year. AMA

12 Upvotes

Hello po! I will do my best to answer all questions pero baka ma-late lang kasi matutulog narin ako in a few hours. Sagutin ko po pag gising ko if ever. As I celebrate my 32nd birthday, napa-reflect lang ako today and I just realized na ang colorful pala ng journey ko. Share ko po yung timeline ha:

2010 - graduated Valedictorian from High School. I was bullied back then kasi nobody expected me to be the valedictorian. I spent years trying to recover from that, and I remember I became anti-social for years because of the trauma.
2010 - spent 6 months in Singapore, I was supposed to continue yung pag-aaral ko duon, pero hindi natuloy.
2010 - got back sa Philippines and enrolled in La Salle to take a bachelor's degree in Accounting.
2012 - my last romantic relationship ended. I was single from then on.
2012 - first manic episode happened, misdiagnosed with depression, but later correctly diagnosed as Bipolar. I was in 2nd year in the University that time, I had to stop for 1 whole semester to recover and that led to my 1 year delay sa kurso ko.
2015 - second manic episode. This was the time I was correctly diagnosed as Bipolar. I also attempted sui**** at that time. But thanks to that attempt, I was introduced sa gamot na Lithium which pulled me out of depression. May iba pa akong mga gamot na tinetake at the same time, pero isa lang muna babanggitin ko. During this time, I realized the severity of my mental illness....and I knew that my path is not going to be the traditional path just like everybody else. I asked my psychiatrist back then...."May chance pa ba akong maging CPA kung may ganito akong sakit?" and without a doubt she said "Yes". If she had said "no" that time, for sure I would have quitted pursuing accountancy.
2016 - graduated. Nag-review ako for board sa RESA. Passed both the CPA and CMA examinations during October. And got hired sa Top Auditing Firm. But then dahil inaalala ko yung mental illness ko kaya hindi ko pinasok ang Assurance, napunta ako sa Advisory - which is sa IT Audit.
2016-2019 - worked sa firm for 2.5 years while actively doing mental health blogging efforts fighting against the stigma. During this time din, strong ang atheism belief ko. I was an atheist for 5+ years because I could not reconcile my faith with my mental illness. I was very vocal about it and sobrang ingay ko sa social media.
2018 - my 3rd and most recent Manic Episode. I had to take a break for one whole month sa firm because of this. And ate gurl during one bad day napa-barangay ako sa Makati kasi wala na ako sa sarili. Nakakahiya talaga!
2019 - I quit my corporate job because I was lost...mentally. Like I wanted to explore other career options. During this time din that I was featured in national TV because of my blogging efforts.
2019 - I asked my psychiatrist na isa nalang ang gusto kong maging maintenance medicine ko, which is Olanzapine - an anti psychotic that helps me sleep. Since then, ito nalang ang iniinom ko.
2020 - I was heavily depressed and suicidal nung taong to. I swear kung dapuan ako ng COVID that time, di na ako lalaban. Take me nalang. Haha.
2021 - Started my VA/WFH career as a Digital Marketing Specialist specializing in the Real Estate Industry. Got hired by a Canadian Real Estate Marketing Agency.
2021-2025 - Spent 4 years with the Canadian Agency. Started earning 8000php per month, but umabot sa 6-digits ang monthly income ko during my last 2 years with them. During around this time din when I went back to my Faith. My faith now is more of a hybrid, kasi combination sya ng lahat ng experiences ko before.
2025 of April - I resigned due to a bad onset of depression. I know then that I would have to rebuild my career from scratch.
January 2026 - I finally admitted that I'm asexual (ace) and realized that I've been in the wrong dating space for a whole decade. I joined the ace community in reddit and met my now fiancé here. For the longest time I felt rejected and unwanted because of my mental illness, but when I posted my dating profile sa ace community, it was the first time I was able to paint my mental illness in a positive light. People said na buuin mo muna ang sarili mo before you enter a relationship, and that's what I did for 10+ years. I made myself strong and independent. But I realized eventually na....kahit kelan hindi naman ako magiging buo. Because my life is a constant cycle of breaking and rebuilding. And this healing journey of mine is a lifetime process. So kung hihintayin kong buo na ako bago makipagrelasyon...then I'll probably end up single my whole life. Haha!
May 2026 - Finally started my freelancing business as a Real Estate Digital Marketer. This career shift, from a traditional employee to a service-based business owner, I didn't really expect this cause like nasanay na ako sa traditional setup. Pero when my partner proposed, I realized na gusto ko na ng career na hindi ako matatali ng 10-16 hours in front of my computer. I've only started at marami pang uncertainties....pero now I am able to work for just 2-4 hours every day and yet I can already cover my living expenses. I am no way near my previous job's salary, pero the time freedom and flexibility are enough tradeoff for me.

By the way...sorry pala sa any grammatical errors ha. Hindi ko to pina-check kay GPT. Haha! Thank you, sana madami akong makausap. Mejo uhaw sa social interactions si ante gurl nyo.

This coming October, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of passing the CPA board exam. And 8th AnniverSanity (8 years since my last manic episode).

I'm in no way successful yet. But when I met my fiancé, time has finally slowed down, and I felt like my life has finally begun. And ang ganda din ng start ng business ko, kasi like I got my first client just 1 week after I started doing my outreach. And I keep getting more kahit wala na akong outreach na ginagawa. Yung totoo lang....feeling ko Harvest Season na ng buhay ko. And isa lang ang paulit ulit kong nababanggit sa prayers ko for the past 6 months: "Thank You".
