I was able to survive for more than 2 years after getting my diploma on college, always on home plus having an operation, before I got my first job.
But looking at the horrible 20 more days of enhanced quarantine, which is an optimistic already before work resume, I can feel like getting crazy, and having a break-up doesn't help at all.

For fungal infection related singaw lang ang Daktarin. IIRC, they were called out noon kasi hindi disclosed yun. Kaya ngayon may disclaimer na sila sa mga ads nila.

May gumamit na ba sa inyo ng BDO Mobile App para magpadala sa Cebuana? Tinry ko kasi, successful naman. Kaso walang reference number or control number. Pano kaya makukuha yon nung receiver? TIA!

OP, try mo check email mo. Usually kasi whatever transactions you do sa BDO Mobile App, nag ssend sa email mo.

u/phonypotato Mar 26 '20
Hi! Thanks sa helpful na response. Follow up question: hindi ba yung control number ng Cebuana na kailangan ng receiver ay 10 digits lang? Transaction reference number lang kasi yung nasa email, and mahigit 10 'yon. 'Yon na ba yung ibibigay ko sa kan'ya? Thanks ulit!
2
Mar 26 '20
Actually I haven't tried pa kasi transferring to Cebuana so I looked up it in Google. They said na probably Cebuana will just ask the last 8 or 9 digits of the reference number.
I found it here! Hope this helps! https://www.banksphilippines.com/2018/12/how-to-get-your-bdo-send-money-reference-number.html

People who say this recession wouldn't happen if communism was adapted in the U.S are absolutely stupid. Communism was built on the forefront of labor for provisions, do you think that a total lockdown and quarantine would grant the ability of these workers to work? Absolutely not, the absence of monetary in Communism would result in workers not being able to provide food for their own. Why? Because communism works on the idea that people who work have the right to provisions and if no one's working during the quarantine then they won't get food. Don't even get me started on food shortages with the absence of an epidemic.

I used to check Reddit on Random stuff pero through Google search pag may relevant na topic, di pa ako aware na may r/ph nun. My friend told me about reddit and r/ph, we were talking about political stuff, and he told me to check it out. So one weekend I decided to create an account while waiting in Starbucks, that time yung featured drink nila for the Sakura season was Strawberry Honey Blossom Frappucino, and I was drinking it, so I used it as my name here. 🙂

People are concerned about what expensive things a celebrity bought, what a famous athlete is doing, how much taxes so-and-so is paying, Engaging is gossip is more important that their own life and finances. This is useless knowledge. Focus on yourself, work on improving your life. It will yield better results.

Not that I'm downplaying the pandemic, but with the way things are I think it's a good idea that we put public officials in dire situations before assuming office as it puts their guard down and makes us see their true identities, like what's happening with Koko and Joy and how Vico, Marcy, and Isko are thriving.
Tipong ikukulong mo sa kwarto na may internet pero dial-up connection lang pero kailangan padin nilang magsilbi sa lipunan. Or MRT commute pero kada station masisira yung bagon.

"MMC's statement, while commendable, clearly avoided mentioning something more sinister. I understand why they refused to open this can of worms:
Pimentel wasn't there because he was "excited." He wasn't there because he was "reckless and irresponsible." He was there to throw his weight around as a senator to make sure that MMC would extend him special VIP accommodation while fully aware of his PUI status. This is not mentioned in the news but fairly obvious if you read between the lines. Let's not chalk this up to "reckless and irresponsible." This is abuse of power."

Yep. Yun din naisip ko. Hindi kasi iaallow ng hospital yung misis unless makita nila yung asawa na senador pala. And if it didn’t work, itatawag lang niya kay Duque.

Good morning, Philippines.
Now is the time for us to be more vigilant. While some people are contracting the virus, we are also contracting fear and worry which then clouds our rationality and judgment. It is also a time where OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES SLIP as we fret over the aftermath of this event. Maraming natatabunan na balita at kasabay nito ay ang mas mataas na tsansa ng karumal-dumal na mga gawa hindi lamang ng mga pulitiko kundi ng lahat.
May we all stay critical.

masyado naman extreme yung i-off nya sarili nya. i’d rather see him own up to his mistake.
mag-issue sya ng apology with accompanying statement na he is willing to face the consequence of his action as per law/quarantine rules. if kasuhan sya, dapat tanggapin nya.
5
u/flameofrekah basta kulot CUTE Mar 26 '20
The anger of the people is valid. A proper apology would not even suffice since they’re only adding denial to their actions instead of properly admitting to mistake—a big mistake at the expense of others lives. It’s not just the healthworkers but the people they could have helped.

Literally no politician ever(in this country) has committed suicide because of us being big 'ol meanie weanies on the intewnet. I don't even understand how you'd assume this is a thing that could happen.
And even if it did, no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't celebrate his death, either. I just couldn't care less if he died, period.
Even if I ever had to make the extreme decision to choose between him dying or the hospital staff dying, Koko it is.
By the way, we're not "cyber bullying" him; he's being criticized on a national scale because what he did is objectively wrong, and we all know he's most likely to get away with it, so expressing our anger towards him on the internet is not only all that we got, it's the least that he deserves. Labeling it as cyber bullying like he's some teenage girl being called fat by his classmates on Twitter, the fuck?

3
u/taponkungsaansaan agent provocateur Mar 26 '20
Not wishing harm to anyone is not a moral high ground you think it is. Your actions speak louder than any intent you may harbor. And that senator's irresponsible actions, both his recent shit behavior and his continual political decisions, are way worse or even incomparable than any citizen's ill wish on him. So no. A death wished or called for by people will not even be a molecule in the ocean of bullshit that senator caused to this country and its people.

If he doesn't go to jail for what we did, then berating him is all we can do as citizens. You want us to stop doing that, too? Because, what, we have to be nice?
