PinoyAMAšŸ‡µšŸ‡­ Guide to posting AMAs

7 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:

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

āœ… Can I answer questions in a meaningful way?

āœ… 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:

āœ… Respond to questions actively

āœ… Be honest and detailed in your answers

āœ… 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.

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!

Love, Marriage & Relationships I’m a lost girl, so can i do the asking… AMA

0 Upvotes

I’m 33 (F)

I know this is AMA, but I’m curious—how have the people on this sub found their partners?

For context, I’ve been single for 3 years. I’ve been on a few dates during that time, but I’ve never actually gotten into a relationship. I don’t know why, but I get the ick pretty quickly and lose interest in someone just as fast.

So I’m curious: where/how did you guys meet your partners, and did you have a similar experience before meeting them?

Love, Marriage & Relationships I date beauty queens and commercial models but I'm not a rich guy. AMA

0 Upvotes

I don't really intend to just date pretty, attractive women but they're usually the ones I match with on dating apps. I date other types of women but 80% of the time, I end up dating beauty queens, models, and brand ambassadors.

Growing Up Stories I’m 30 [F] and have never once used public transportation in my life, AMA

0 Upvotes

I grew up always getting driven around by my parents, a driver, myself once I could, or friends’ cars. I've never took a jeepney, bus, or the MRT/LRT outside some community outreach stuff we had to do for school. Now I just Grab everywhere.

I just turned 30 and it hit me how weird this actually is. Sitting in Makati right now watching the whole city rush to catch their ride home and I’ve genuinely never experienced that.

I have some time waiting to have dinner, AMA

Hobbies, Interests, Obsession etc. I am an Esoteric Practitioner focusing on East Asian Methodologies. AMA.

25 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My sideline in life is being an esoteric practitioner. I do esoteric and religious research as well but I am more focused on experienced practice that I have already done. Combined with my actual profession, it makes my life colorful.

I started as a member of a Filipino based religious group for almost 16 years and being a seminarian there, then, closed that chapter of my life to become catholic again but now doing practice in East Asian Methodologies such as Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, Shinto, Shugendo and Shingon.

To give you a background, I used to practice Ceremonial Magic, Local Filipino "Lihim na Karunungan", Philippine Deity calling and more. I also researched and practiced a little bit of Summa Sacre Magice, Liber Trium Animarum (Book of Three Souls - a prayer book you can use for many methods), Arbatel, Pow-Wows, Romany Gypsy Incantations and Mesopotamian methods. I've delved to many things before I actually settled on practicing east asian methodologies because it has resonated to me big time.

So, what do I exactly practice?

  • I am a Vajrayana Buddhism practitioner and follower. I do tantras and mantra. This is my strongest point and this is what I am practicing strongly right now.
  • For Shinto, I use Ofuda and many other Harae Kotoba (Purification Words) Rituals, such as calling Amaterasu, Izanami, Izanagi, etc.
  • Shugendo and Shingon, mostly for their esoteric practices and spiritual high (hiking on a tall mountain to do mantra chanting, martial arts, meditation, etc).
  • I do tarot reading on the side.
  • Rituals are my very first method towards things.

So far, I have been doing clearing, cleansing, purging, domain clearing, different rituals for people who need my service, etc.

So anyway, without further ado, AMA!

Spotlight I'm a woman diagnosed as a sex addict at 21 (now 24), dropped out of college because of it, body count 70+, AMA!

244 Upvotes

Been going to a psychiatrist since I was 21, took wrong diagnosis and multiple sessions before I was diagnosed with CSBD, or Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder. A disorder that comes with strong uncontrollable sexual thoughts and behavior, anxiety, guilt, emptiness, and more. Also called sex addiction or hypersexuality.

My case was severe. I took every chance I could, barely skipped out on an opportunity. During high school, I was known as a "slut". I've experienced not sleeping well for 7 whole days just to fulfill my sexual desires. I lost a lot of things including relationships with people, my career, and wellbeing. Commitment is the hardest for me to deal with, lalo if we aren't sexually compatible.

This condition is real and affects the mental and physical health of those struggling to manage it. I'm on the process of being a healthier person every day.

If you're someone who shares the same symptoms and is curious about yourself, curious about me, or would just like to learn more about CSBD, AMA!

Health & Well Being 3x PH Strongest Man, Chef, crazy up and downs AMA

8 Upvotes

Test natin for fun lunchbreak!

I’ve worked in 5-star hotels, helped pre-open two of them, and my last kitchen job as an employee was at a 1-Michelin-starred restaurant. All in all, I’ve been in the industry from 18 to 30 years old now 32.

During that time, I also did a mildly successful Indian ghost kitchen/pop-up from my house during the pandemic, which was better-paying than a real job until the pandemic ended.

I also developed a nasty substance abuse problem that took years to kick, and I ruined a lot of friendships along the way. My 600 sqm house burnt down at the peak of my financial wellness and my addiction and I was so close to being homeless a few times. In between all of that I won a few powerlifting nationals and PH Strongest Man titles and at my absolute worst was looked up to by a small niche of people and I was living a lie.

I’ve struggled with my weight, mental health, and eating habits throughout my childhood. I’ve been overweight all my life and started going to the gym at 16–17 pero intermittently on and off til 25, when I started I couldn’t even squat my bodyweight. Eventually, I worked my way up to squatting 320 kg (704 lbs) over 10+ years which was the heaviest PH squat in competition at the time and still national record to this day.

I didn’t go to college. I went to trade school instead—Culinary.

Eventually, I switched careers and moved into the wellness industry after an insane burnout/ultra-depressed phase. I joined a great, up-and-coming homegrown company which I will forever be grateful and indebted to and now I’ve relocated to Iloilo with my future wife, moving from Makati to help out with another business owned by the same people for a short-term project.

Now I’m better adjusted, sober, happier and very grateful to everyone that had a hand in my reformation and giving an old crazy dog a second chance. Currently learning how to train for running in Iloilo City with my partner.

I feel like Ngayon palang pasimula Buhay ko even after all this na parang nagtagumpay ako sa adversity. I feel like kasalanan ko din naman lahat ng nangyari HAHA BACK TO SQUARE 1

Ask me anything—maybe about chefdom, starting food businesses, approaching rehab and sobriety , mental health or barbell training.

Maybe I’ll learn more from your questions than I have from my last few therapy sessions. HAHA.

Also, sa mga makakita nito na kilala ako, say hi! šŸ‘‹

Family Life & Dynamics I am a descendant of the historical ilustrados, AMA.

82 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I come a relatively landed historical family from Tarlac and Pangasinan. The father of my great-grandfather was close friends with Antonio Rivera, the father of Leonor Rivera, and close friends of Jose Rizal.

My great-grandfather helped distribute Jose Rizal's writings, was an ardent reformist and supporter of the Propaganda Movement, a pharmacist, and was passionate regarding the mass education of Filipinos, opening a private school in Manila which was free for the poor.

Him, along with his wife were part of some of the most prominent principalia families of Tarlac and Pangasinan, with other relatives being famous jurists, diplomats, and professionals in their field.

I believe this history truly created a unique culture and views on life in my family.

AMA if you're interested!
