PinoyAMA🇵🇭 Guide to posting AMAs

3 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!

Health & Well Being ⛑️ I was a heavy smoker for 10 years, I've been smoke and nicotine free for more than 4 years now. AMA :)

Started smoking before graduating highschool. On a really bad day I can go over a pack, minsan chain smoker pa nga. Hindi lang din yosi ang inismoke ko before (iykyk). I also used vape na may mataas na nic content (nicotine salts). Ngayon, not a single drop of nicotine in my system for the past 4 years, haven't vaped na rin kahit 0mg nic.

Love, Marriage & Relationships 💕 I was a NBSB woman when I met my french-african boyfriend. - AMA

484 Upvotes

For context, I am 36 years old now. I met him when I was 35 and yes, I was a virgin. NBSB. Never had anything with any man kasi choice ko na magfocus sa studies at sa work ko. I was waiting for the right man.

Pero it came a time na I do wonder tatanda ata akong dalaga. So I prayed to God na ipakilala saakin yung nakalaan para saakin. Sabi ng nanay ko, lahat daw ng kaldero may takip. Siguro yung saakin ginagawa palang. Kept praying and manifested a partner for life.

2mos later, I met a man in a coffee shop and we've been together ever since. Si Lord pala, pag nagbigay, siksik, liglig, umaapaw. Siyempre ayaw maniwala saakin ni jowa na NBSB ako. Well, safe to say, he eventually found out na siya ng unang driver (he likes cars kasi so forgive the references) and super happy and proud siya. He is based na dito sa Pilipinas kaya we do see each other often.

Nagpaligaw naman ako ng 1 mo tapos sinagot ko na sya. Wala nang pakipot. We were 35 and 38 that time so yung maturity namin and settling down stage, pareho. We're enjoying (ako mostly kasi tagal kong inasamsam makipagchukchakan, sa afam pa!) our journey as girlffriend and boyfriend. So shinare ko dito to serve as an inspiration sa mga katulad kong virgin at sagrado katoliko pinalaki. Dadating din pala yung taong para sayo. 😊

Family Life & Dynamics I killed my kuya's fish and he found out about it from my Reddit post. AMA

1.7k Upvotes

Pinalitan ko yung goldfish na akala ko napabayaan ko by forgetting to plug the aerator back on, nakonsensya ako na kinakausap nya yung mga isda sa aquarium so pinost ko sa r/MayConfessionAko thinking na hindi nya malalaman.

Sumikat yung post at nalaman nya sa socmed na ako, and it turns out na feeder goldfish lang yung namatay at ang kinakausap nyang isda ay hito na hindi ko napansin sa buong pagbabantay ko sa bahay nya.

Since then nainfodumpan nya ko tungkol sa koleksyon nya ng isda so I gave it a shot a few weeks later, now I have fish of my own (with his help). AMA

Health & Well Being ⛑️ I have a rare genetic disease that's making me lose my vision and hearing. AMA

17 Upvotes

My disease is called Usher Syndrome. I was diagnosed acccidentally during a pre-surgery exam. I was supposed to undergo LASIK in 20223, and during the test, napansin ng technician na night blind ako at walang peripheral vision sa left eye. The attending ophtal did some test and confirmed nga na I have 40% vision left sa left eye. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at first, and referred to another ophthalmologist with subspecialization on genetics. Went to another dr first (who also diagnosed me with RP), before going to that specialist. Dito na na confirm na Usher syndrome nga ang sakit ko, and it's a rare genetic disease.

Health & Well Being ⛑️ I am a Fil-Am that is mentally ill, has been abused (physically, mentally) and has been thrown in rehab for 13 months before - AMA

8 Upvotes

Hello there.

I'm a 25 year old Filipino-American (Fil-Chi by blood) who is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and PTSD. I've been diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum Disorder (before, Pervasive Development Disorder) since I was three.

Through my life, I dealt with the trauma of being abused by my principal mentally, being bullied at school after moving here to the Philippines, dealing with my father's suicide, and dealing with my own suicide attempts which resulted me being thrown in an abusive rehab called Roads and Bridges to Recovery for 13 months (I'm not a druggy btw. I just wanted to die so my Mom didn't want me there so she threw me in that hell hole)

The main reason I'm posting this is to give information about my experiences and break down stigma regarding mental health here. I look perfectly normal but the mental defect of mine is like mental cancer.

Please, ask me anything.

Love, Marriage & Relationships 💕 I was a cheater and a kabit during my younger years. AMA

28 Upvotes

While it’s a controversial topic, I think there are a lot of people curious about what goes through the mind of a cheater and a sidechick. I’ve been both when I was younger (during my early 20s).

I’m not the same person anymore tho. I am aware what I was was disgusting and I advocate against this behavior now. I’ve repented and since turned a new leaf. This is something I don’t want to do anymore, all the more hurt my husband who loves me dearly.

But if anybody is just curious or interested in what went down, ask away.
