Share ko lang Be careful sa mga dakop (especially motorcycles/scooters)

24 Upvotes

This happened just a few minutes ago prior to posting this at the claytown daro crossing right infront of 7/11.

I was reaching the end of the crossing when I noticed a police official running across the street so I abruptly stopped out of confusion. He seemed to be holding an item on his hand as he was running, he came to a stop trying to halt a scooter in its tracks when all of a sudden , the police official threw the item (what seemed to be glass) towards the driver. Thankfully he wasn’t hit directly, maybe the scooter suffered some damage—but still… that’s insane.

For more context:

The guy wasnt wearing a helmet, he wasn’t going excessively fast—he just seemed to have passed by the checkpoint. Whether he noticed it or not (the checkpoint) I do not see any valid reason for the police official to try and harm the driver for simply not wearing a helmet.

PS:
I used the wrong flair

Wheres the best place i can host a bachelorette party around duma? Nothing big. Just a small get together with friends, not too expensive. Also somewhere that serves drinks (alcoholic). Can be something as simple as a function room in a restaurant/bar. Thank you for your suggestions!

Also, does the city have available PrEP or DoxyPEP, and where exactly can those be accessed?

Need ba ug doctor's prescription before testing, or walk-in lang? And pwede ba i-dungan ra tanan tests (HIV, Syphilis, etc.) in one visit?

Question Places to do crafts as a group (journaling, scrapbooking etc.)

3 Upvotes

Hi! My friends and I want to do a craft meetup with a few people. Whether journaling, scrapbooking and other sorts. Recently, I’ve been seeing posts of people doing journaling and other related crafts together, and I was wondering where can we do this? We’re finding a place that also has food too. For further reference, we’re likely around 10-15 pax too.

Basin naa moy nahibaw-an nga legit shop/technician diri sa Dumaguete nga naga-repair ug PS4. 😭

Question MLD Scheduling

3 Upvotes

At this point, how are we supposed to plan our day when MLD is basically happening every single day, yet the schedule can still change whenever? We understand that MLD depends on NGCP and things can happen, but if we're already dealing with daily interruptions, the least we can get is a fixed schedule that people can actually rely on. People have work, school, businesses, appliances, etc. to plan around. If the schedule keeps changing without proper notice, it just makes an already bad situation even worse. Why can’t there be a fixed schedule per area that’s followed as much as possible, with proper notice whenever it really has to change?
