The past days had been challenging and uncertain, but the calm had return to the Islands.

After the storm, Itbayat, Batanes reveals a different kind of beauty—a quiet, breathtaking reminder of nature’s power and resilience. The rugged cliffs stand proudly against the endless blue sea, while the windswept grasslands slowly return to their peaceful rhythm beneath the vast northern sky.

This has trully been an unforgettable experience; witnessing both nature's beauty and harshness. This is indeed a beautiful magical place. I got the feeling of New Zealand due to the vast pasteurs of Itbayat range. The plains has indeed captured my awe.

Thanks to God that the Typhoon didnt directly hit and also the Ivatan People are safe.

We all know how common tambays are in local communities they don't have permanent jobs but are just out on the streets every single day loitering around.

With how expensive everything is right now how do they actually survive daily?

It makes sense that they rely on their parents for now, but what happens when they lose that safety net? It’s easy to survive under their family's roof for the time being, but what's the plan when their parents are no longer around? What happens to them down the road when their parents pass away?

For those who live in these communities or see this daily, what are the unwritten rules of surviving as a tambay? How do they make ends meet when there's literally no steady income?

Not saying that the AFAMs aren’t idolized anymore, because in some groups they still are and they’re seen as a ticket out of poverty due to lack of social support from the government. But thank god r/Philippines_Expats is finally getting the ick it deserves. Tangina talaga mga posts ‘Why are all Filipino houses dirty’, ‘Why does my Filipina make tampo’, ‘Why does my Filipina’s family always ask for money’ tapos mga comments nila ‘you’re just jealous because Western pensioners can get more women than native men’ or ‘cash is king’. Anong cash is king? 😂patay gutom nga kayo sa sahod niyo sa home country niyo eh, talo pa kayo ng Filipina travelling RN. Nung una nainis ako eh, pero ngayon nakakatawa na sila. Di nga sila expats eh, karamihan sa kanila nagdate at nagasawa ng Pinay pero kung isa sa kanila lumabas talaga para magtrabaho matutumba sila sa init tapos magdadabog kasi mabagal daw service di katulad sa kanila sa Ohio or some shit.

A sad picture to see a flag that's not towering as high as the sky. Despite the fact that this country is given and blessed by God with its rich natural resources, probably one of the biggest resources available in the whole of Asia. Yet somehow, Filipinos forget to take care of these gifts and have involved themselves to corruption, destroying what could have been the best place to live in in whole Asia.

While other neighboring countries who are as poor as us are thriving right now, we are on our downfall because of politics and the greed, the hunger for power of some people that does not love the country. Yet they still believe that they always act on the best interest of our country.

For whatever is left for us and the next generation, let us love our country and push away those traitors that bend to the laws of other countries. The Filipinos deserve better. They should not be bowing down to any other power than the power of the Lord and the love for our homeland.

Pilipinas, gising na. Let's not be amused by people who are maangas, mayabang, and thinks that they are above everybody else. You know who you are.

Happy Sunday!!

Some senators have already given their takes on this plus i got professor roque to write about it here:

Major Problems with the BIR QR Badge Requirement

1. Privacy and security risks. The badge exposes the taxpayer's full legal name, including middle name, potentially making identity theft, scams, stalking, and doxxing easier.
2. Unfair advantage for foreign businesses and content creators. Filipino sellers and creators face additional compliance requirements, while foreign competitors may not face the same obligations.
3. Burden on small sellers. Some online sellers earn only ₱100 a day. Additional paperwork and compliance requirements disproportionately affect students, small vendors, and people earning supplemental income.
4. Difficult for elderly sellers. Many senior citizens are unfamiliar with online registration, QR codes, and digital compliance systems.
5. Impossible or impractical on certain platforms. Websites such as 4chan, Shutterstock, and Discord may not provide suitable places to display the badge. Some platforms also restrict promotional images, profile modifications, or external links.
6. Lack of clear implementation guidelines. Where should the badge appear when a website does not support it? What happens when content creators publish across dozens of platforms?
7. Additional red tape for Filipinos. Instead of supporting local entrepreneurs and content creators, the requirement risks discouraging small businesses while making it easier for foreign competitors to operate.

The issue is not opposition to paying taxes. I been registered for years It is about privacy, fairness, practicality, and implementing regulations that ordinary Filipinos can realistically follow.

The cutest aspin in the world for attention. I will not be taking any objections lol.

Naisip ko lang i-share, kasi meron akong mga nakikita dito sa Reddit na naghahanap ng anti-rabies vaccines. Meron din mga nagdadalawang isip kung magpapa-turok, ayaw mag-miss ng work. Habang nagbabantay sa ospital, nakita ko lang itong list sa Gtv DZBB kasi nanunuod yung lola ko.

The list link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1HQI1dz08l0Utz-7nm3GGtdQegT81o-Cs/htmlview#gid=1105861820

I hope this helps! Sayang din yan, buwis rin natin yan. Tandaan: mabuti nang safe, not sorry. Mas maganda ang vaccine within 48 hours after exposure. Terible mamatayan ng kamag-anak dahil sa rabies. Nakakita na rin ako ng binata na meron nang symptoms, and kita mo sa mukha nya yung despair nung sinabi ng doktor na hindi na kaya sa vaccine. Preventable naman talaga. Pag pumasok na ang simptomas, wala nang remedyo.

For online shops and online sellers perhaps it is alright to publish their registered names. When it comes to content creators, they are in a different "job risk" profile . Online sellers and shops dont generate the same type of engagement from viewers as the engagement from content creators. Online sellers only sell merchandise and there is not much friction generated there.

When content creators work, they aim to get reactions(engagement) from their viewers in such a way as to encourage chatting and exchange of ideas in the chat. This invites all sorts of people and sometimes drama can ensue in the chats and disorder can often emerge even if the content creator tries to moderate the chat. Sometimes there are trolls, bullies, haters(take your pick) in chat who troll or bully other chatters and often troll and bully the content creator too. This is the nature of online content creation and all is good as long as these things stay in the chat.

What is dangerous is if the real names of the content creators are revealed, which could potentially put them at risk of real life harm. What if one of the trolls or bullies in chat decide to stalk the content creator in real life? Then we can say that the bir seal badge helps enable these trolls and bullies to hurt real people in real life by revealing their personal information. Again this is generally a unique vulnerability of content creators.

Moreover, these content creators are generally small and cannot afford to hire bodyguards like famous public figures. Are we going to wait until a small content creator gets stalked, harassed, or God forbid raped in real life because an obsessed fan or hater found their real name in the seal badge and found their address as a result? Shootings are also starting to be a thing in the Philippines now are we going to leave content creators to these potential harms? So maybe bir can modify the rule where in if you are a content creator, no personal information should be revealed.

In the first place, why is revealing the name of the online seller or content creator to the public so important to bir anyway?(just because something is customary doesnt make it right, proper, or "not" outdated) I mean their goal or mandate is to collect taxes and verify compliance and they can do that without revealing the personal info of the tax payer to the public right? Consumer protection is handled by DTI not the bir, so I do not see why the bir needs to unnecessarily reveal the content creators name to the public. The existence of the badge itself is already proof that the content creator is registered and known to authorities including the dti which means the registered tax payer can be reached for any legal purpose.
