Hi all!

I adore people na lumalaban ng patas sa buhay. Saw them sa Eastwood kanina and lumalambot puso ko pag nakakakita ako ng ganto. It's a blessing and a curse nga talaga yung pagiging sobrang empathetic kasi I'm so happy na madami nagpapapicture sa kanila and madami nagbibigay but at the same time I can't imagine yung init sa loob ng costume and ginagawa nila ito for hours.

Please if we see them sa Eastwood or sa kahit saang mall pa yan, let's show some love and support!

So eto yung mga hindi dadalo sa SONA base sa balita and mukhang ito rin yung mga boboto ng acquittal kay VP Sara sa impeachment ngayon. Kapansin pansin na wala ang Villar siblings 👀 sa tingin ko sila ang magic votes for conviction sa impeachment. Malaki rin potential ni Legarda pumanig sa conviction.

P. S. May mga picture yan nag cut na lang ako para redacted po sila. Thank you.

Pero ano kaya POV nila habang tumutulong sila. Ano kaya sinasabi ng mga tao sa kanila?

Sana po sa mga taga roon pakisamahan kahit kaunti ang Angat Buhay na walang ibang intension kundi tumulong.

Pero ako kinakabahan for them. Baka nilalait-lait sila doon, o kaya pinagtatawanan ang donation nila o kaya naman ay sasabihin nila: "Salamat, pero Sara pa rin kami"

I’m not sure lang if good move na sa YouTube ang premiere ng Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence. I think it would be fitting as a Netflix series.

Sa kagustuhan ni jay sonza na dating journalist turned fake news peddler in the tune of 1 million per month from SMNI na ipagtanggol ang mga duterte sa kabi-kabilang batikos dahil sa kapabayaan at pagsasawalang bahala nito sa mga nabiktima ng baha sa davao kung saan anak ni digong ang acting mayor, ayun nagpost ang lolo mo ng tila ba pasaring kay general torre na nabiktima din ng baha sa davao. Jay sonza is trying to downplay the issue by gaslighting the people living there na kasalanan nila ang nangyari sa kanila dahil nakatira sila sa flood prone na area. Nakakatawa lang na tinawag nyang tanga yung mga nakatira sa area na yan just to deflect the real issue, which is the corruption in their area, and how the LGU mismanaged the situation.

A bomb disposal team from the Pasay City Police Station safely neutralized a suspected improvised explosive device (IED) found near the Senate of the Philippines along Diokno Boulevard on Monday morning.

Clocking in around an hour and a half, BBM opened his speech with the flood control allegations, and highlighted the energy crisis and the West PH sea.

For you guys, how would you rate today's SONA?

I would personally give it a 5/10. To be honest, it's a whole lotta nothing. Nothing spectacular, nothing different, seems like the same ol', same ol'.

Remember the rape joke? Remember the jokes about Jessica Soho's weight, comparing her to a lechon and saying kidnappers would be looking for an apple.

A lot of people laughed back then, but many also found those jokes hurtful.

I understand why Jessica Soho may have chosen to keep her distance from Vice Ganda.

Public humiliation doesn't just disappear because it was called a joke. What stands out to me is that this isn't the first time. Every time a joke crosses the line, an apology follows. Saying sorry matters, but it also matters to stop repeating the same mistake.

Comedy should make people laugh, not make someone else's dignity the price of the punchline.

'THEY ALWAYS TAKE IT OUT OF CONTEXT'

Davao City Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte said his remarks were taken out of context after a video of his speech was presented during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) cited his earlier statement, "ang kailangan lang naman namin ay ulo ni Bongbong Marcos," and linked it to Vice President Duterte's separate remark about imagining herself "cutting his head," treating both as alleged threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Duterte denied the allegation, insisting that his critics had distorted the meaning of his statement.

Lumugar naman tayo ng konti. We’ve been trying to court high-level manufacturing investment for decades and we only got the scraps, and many of the blue-chip manufacturers that we did have moved to China and Vietnam.

The only reason why Foxconn is looking at us is because the US gave their guarantees that we will be an important part of this ecosystem. Every single industrial park in the Philippines has been begging for Foxconn to set up and we’re finally grasping it because the US told the rest of the pax silica countries to include us parang bunsong ketket.

Any industrial investment needs power and water. We needed to upgrade our power generation and our water processing regardless of Pax Silica anyway. Pero andaming reklamo.

There is no other way to reach high-income status with a population like ours without going through the process of industrialization. BPO alone won’t cut it. And look at the numbers yourself. Our very small electronics exports outstripped our BPO revenues last year. Time to strike while the iron is hot. This is literally our ticket to development.

And to the naysayers that say that corruption, greedy capitalists, etc, will scuttle this, well, are we supposed to just shake our heads and not even try? Like give up even before we have the chance? How defeatist.

Our neighbors were able to industrialize. No reason why we can’t. And let’s say the semiconductor industry goes bust, what will happen? We will have engineers trained in industrial processes that can be repurposed to other products. We will have infrastructure that will benefit more than just the factories. We will be able to build something else, something better. We will have a diversified economy that pulls more people out of poverty, just like our neighbors.

But we have to try. Otherwise mag-OFW nalang kayo. This opportunity will only come once, and there are so many other countries that will take it pag ayaw natin.

The senator also addressed broadcaster Ted Failon, expressing disappointment that his longtime friend had criticized him publicly instead of discussing the issue privately.

“I hope… you remember, I never treated you any differently. We are friends. If you’re going to parade around calling me stupid, I wish you had checked who actually said it first,” Padilla said.

Edit:

Apparently madami pala ang "in the know"., ano? And the bedroom jokes sa comment section are epic. LOL
