Looks like Form Spring might be the next “in” thing for Filipinos online. Especially when you’ve got people pretending to be our president, her current press secretary, and a man accused of massacring political opponents and journalists.

At its simplest, Form Spring is a free online service that lets users answer questions, sometimes from other Form Spring users or totally anonymous people. I’ve noticed several Filipinos sign up for their own accounts, and it’s reasonable to assume that local celebrities and politicians may use the service to accept and answer questions.

The impersonated trio mentioned above are of course GMA, Cerge Remonde, and Andal Ampatuan Jr. Some gems from these fake accounts:

I believe in empowering our people and bringing government closer to them. I have confidence that our people once they know the real score will continue to support my administration as I bring you to First World status by 2020.

what is the meaning of life?

It is something I have, and something those who have nothing better to do than to spread unfounded rumors that impugn the government and jeopardize first world status in 2020, clearly do not.

Life is about letting go and moving on and not doing anything as unpatriotic as destabilizing our own government.

Virgin ka pa ba?

12 years old pa lang hindi na ako virgin.

The best Q&A I’ve found so far:
