Hello. First post here.

Recently, I have been interested in PSAs (public service announcements), ads that are made to spread awareness of social issues and problems in the community. Some of the most famous ones are usually the scariest, most chilling, most unsettling, or most disturbing ones. A simple YouTube search of the 'scariest psas' will give a whole slew of videos about that.

However, whenever I watch them, the majority of those featured come from the US, the UK, and Canada. A sizable number of others come from other known countries in Europe (e.g. Belgium, France, Spain, Norway), in South America (e.g. Argentina, Brazil, Chile), and in Asia as well (e.g. India, Singapore, Japan). However, there are only a few featured ads that originate from the Philippines.

I then wondered if there are other Filipino PSAs that can be watched on YouTube. I then searched for them, and yeah I found some really frightening ones.

The links I put here are the ones that I found while digging for these advertisements. They range from scary to serious to more light-hearted stuff, and is a combination of old ones and more recent ones. Here is the list:

These are just the ones that I have found the links to. I believe there are more than these that I listed. I have not included any radio PSAs, however. If you may, you can comment other ones in this post too. Let's see the collection of public service announcements that Filipinos like us have/had seen on their TVs or listened on the radio.

P.S. I don't know what flair to put here, so I just put in Discussion since these ads tackle serious issues.
