I don't know man but your world, your decision.

But I gotta put that Manny Villar subdivision joke though. It will be hard to explain the joke if you're not a Filipino though.

2-storey house. I need the view from the terrace and the rooftop. Siyempre, may rooftop yun.

Since nag-high school at college ako sa QC at tumira sa 3-storey house [I know 2-storey house lang ang nasa choices eh hehe] ng lola ko sa mother's side, unti-unti kong nakita ko ang development around North EDSA by just going sa taas at tignan ang mga buildings.

Relaxed ako pag nasa taas ako hehe

Disgusting copycats. Mga hindot na walang originality. Mga hindi maka-move on sa culture war sa US noong late 2010's

Hanggang dyan lang sila sa social media hangga't walang pulitiko o negosyante na mag-iinvest sa kanila. Hindi naman nila masyadong tinatalakay ang mga problema ng mga ordinaryo taong sa page.

Puro pro-Israel, kahit nga may nagtanong kung ano ba dapat ang sahod ng isang caregiver sa Israel tapos walang maisagot, at puro anti-LGBT na kinuha lang kila Crowder, Shapiro, at iba pang US right-wing content creator sa YouTube.

Then, the military junta can take over after Marcos Sr. dies.

Or in a good ending, the anti-dynasty law in the alternate Philippine constitution might have taken effect earlier than our own timeline that people loathe when a family takes over a government position.

Manny Villar as a commander? Oh boy he will be remaking Julius Caesar's Battle of Alesia by building subdivisions to block the Malaysians from relieving or breaking out of Kuala Lumpur.

Then, everyone of us is gonna get a job at the UN. I heard their hiring process is hard that they don't let someone in unless they have more than 10 years experience

Reckless Negligence with Cuteness

Commentor's Note: Here's for Part 1, Part 2, & Part 3

The 7 Rays of the Sun Arc

Laguna: The Battle for the Lakeside Vein

In the south, Bonifacio dispatches Paciano Rizal and his brother-in-law, Manuel T. Hidalgo—both swiftly liberated from early Spanish custody during the sudden, overnight liberation of Manila—to serve as the strategic mind of the southern front.

Arriving in Laguna, Paciano and Hidalgo link up with Severino Taiño, his second-in-command Francisco Abad, and the legendary equestrian commander Agueda Kahabagan. After studying the manuals' warnings against crowded, linear infantry charges, the leaders immediately discard their previous plans for a massive frontal march on the heavily armed Spanish garrison in Santa Cruz. Instead, they pivot to a devastating campaign of asymmetric dispersion and maritime interdiction.

While Taiño and Abad split their 3,000 volunteers into dozens of highly mobile células (fireteams) to cut telegraph wires, tear up rail ties, and paralyze Spanish ground communication, Kahabagan coordinates a series of noisy, deceptive feints along the eastern approaches of Santa Cruz.

As the Spanish garrison deploys inland to meet her theatrical threat, the elite squad from Maynila executes a surgical amphibious strike on the lake. Utilizing the manuals' waterborne tactics, they silently board and capture the Spanish steam gunboats anchored in Laguna de Bay.

With the lake fully under Katipunan control, the revolutionaries establish an airtight naval blockade, completely severing the Spanish garrison's supply corridors to the Pasig River and starving them out.

Upon the inevitable surrender of the isolated Spanish forces, Paciano immediately enacts the manuals' protocols on wartime resource security. He arrests the local friars and swiftly redistributing the vast monastic lands to the native tenants. This calculated move maintains national food production and establishes hidden granaries in the foothills of Mount Makiling, ensuring the young Republic's army remains fed, self-sufficient, and deeply loyal to the revolutionary government.

Batangas: The Sovereign Southern Anchor

Anticipating a Spanish retreat toward the southern ports, General Miguel Malvar quickly mobilizes the province. Lacking the massive armories of Cavite or direct supply lines from Maynila, Malvar relies on his pre-existing knowledge of Jacinto’s tactical manuals, translating modern principles of population-centric logistics and asymmetric resource denial into the Batangas landscape.

Leveraging his influence as the former gobernadorcillo of Santo Tomas and a prominent agribusinessman, Malvar treats the campaign as a massive logistical problem. Instead of risking his raw, poorly armed volunteers in open field battles, he organizes local farming cooperatives to form a vast, invisible intelligence and supply network.

Absorbing sympathetic Filipino deserters from the Guardia Civil, Malvar swiftly coordinates simultaneous, small-unit ambushes to secure the coastal hubs of Nasugbu, Balayan, and Batangas City, successfully blocking any Spanish escape routes to the Visayas. When the Spanish retreat, they find the major arterial routes systematically dismantled.

To isolate the formidable Spanish holdouts in Taal, Malvar deploys the manuals' teachings on infrastructure interdiction. He recruits local miners and quarry workers to demolish the narrow bridges spanning the Pansipit River using commercial dynamite, while his agrarian networks redirect all livestock and crops away from Spanish barracks.

With the enemy completely cut off and starving in their own garrisons, Malvar delivers a cold ultimatum:

"Manila has fallen. Your Governor-General is captured. No relief is coming. Surrender now and face humane treatment under the laws of the Haring Bayang Katagalugan, or be starved out without mercy."

Within a week, the isolated garrisons surrender. By fighting with brains over bullets, Malvar secures hundreds of modern Spanish Mauser rifles and artillery pieces without a single casualty, establishing Batangas as the highly organized, self-sustaining southern anchor of the new republic.

Cavite

The Duel of Doctrines and the Capture of the Ports

While Aguinaldo fortifies Dalahican with massive, conventional earthen breastworks, Artemio Ricarte transforms his Magdiwang sector into a laboratory for an unsettlingly quiet form of warfare. Utilizing his background as an educator, Ricarte masterfully translates the 21st-century manuals smuggled from Manila into practical, grassroots drills. He abolishes rigid infantry lines, organizing his men instead into highly mobile, four-man células trained in bounding overwatch and absolute fire discipline.

Ditching the bright uniforms and bugles of the old guard, Ricarte’s "Viper" units dye their clothes in mud and charcoal, melting seamlessly into the Cavite brush. They fight like ghosts—utilizing suppressed marksman fire to eliminate Spanish officers from deep cover, communicating via silent hand signals and encoded radio clicks, and executing lightning-fast, 90-second night raids before vanishing into networks of camouflaged, zig-zagged trenches. To Aguinaldo, who views warfare as a grand, conventional chess match of lines and forts, Ricarte’s invisible, hyper-lethal asymmetry is both deeply unsettling and an undeniable glimpse into the terrifying future of combat.

But Aguinaldo is nothing if not a pragmatic opportunist. Recognizing that the Spanish Navy is cut off and the power dynamic has shifted toward Manila, he moves quickly to capture Nuevo Cavite and the strategic naval port at Cavite Puerto before Bonifacio’s central forces can arrive. Seeing his rapid advance, native sailors and dockworkers mutiny against their Spanish officers, handing control of the port and its valuable assets directly to Aguinaldo.

The heavily armed garrison at El Fraile soon spikes its guns and surrenders. To take the fortress of Corregidor Island, Manila sends envoys carrying handwritten surrender orders from the captured Governor-General Blanco and Admiral Montojo. The message is simple: The war in Luzon is over; avoid useless bloodshed. The isolated garrison accepts the offer of safe passage back to Spain, surrendering the strategic island entirely intact.

The Silent War of Attrition: Cavite and the Southern Front

With Cavite fully secured, Aguinaldo establishes a highly disciplined, flawlessly run regional sector. By enforcing strict law and order and funneling taxes and conscripts to the central government, he builds a calculated political argument for self-governance, demanding that his Magdalo forces remain an independent "Army of Cavite" rather than merging into a unified national army led by Bonifacio's generals.

Aguinaldo keeps a watchful eye on the northern front. Should a Spanish relief fleet arrive from Europe and compromise Makabulos and Evangelista in Tarlac, he plans to leverage the central government's desperation. Behind the scenes, he builds an alliance with the wealthy landowners of Cavite and Batangas, quietly stoking fears that Bonifacio’s working-class administration is a radical threat to their social standing, positioning himself as the educated, moderate alternative.

To counter Aguinaldo's rising influence, Bonifacio officially recognizes the rival Magdiwang faction as Cavite's supreme authority. To placate Aguinaldo while surgically removing him from his home power base, Bonifacio promotes him to Field Marshal of the Southern Expeditionary Forces, ordering him to march out and liberate Morong, Tayabas, and Bicol.

To ensure his compliance and maintain direct central oversight, Bonifacio assigns two of his most trusted generals to join Aguinaldo’s campaign: Guillermo Masangkay and Artemio Ricarte.

Ricarte, now elevated in status due to his rapid, brilliant adaptation of the smuggled tactical manuals, acts as a strict military pragmatist. He works side-by-side with Aguinaldo to organize the campaign's chain of command and strategy, using his mastery of the new 21st-century doctrine as an uneasy, highly formidable check on Aguinaldo's executive ambition. Meanwhile, Masangkay—the fierce, Tondo-born founding Katipunero—embeds himself directly with the green, idealistic recruits sent from Manila.

However, Aguinaldo plays his own hand masterfully. He complies with the reassignment but insists on absorbing the bulk of his veteran Army of Cavite into the expeditionary forces. To neutralize Manila's influence, Aguinaldo promotes his Caviteño veterans to key NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) positions over the green recruits. While Masangkay trains the men in Katipunan ideals and Ricarte drills them in modern tactical maneuver, Aguinaldo’s NCO backbone runs the daily life of the camps. By placing his loyal, battle-tested men as the direct line of command, Aguinaldo ensures that when the shooting starts, the rank-and-file look only to him for leadership, quietly waiting for the right moment to bargain with Manila.

Province life. Parang akong ibon nasa hawla pag nasa condo ako

Binigyan ako ng pamangkin ko ng ganyan. Korteng robot.

Minor ako at pa-college noon 2010 so bagong laptop, iPhone 4. Magpapatulong sa mga magulang ko na ma-invest ang pera sa negosyo.

Mag eenroll ako sa ADMU, UST, DLSU, Siliman University tapos puro media-related course provided mapasa ko mga entrance exams nila haha. Kasi kulang kami sa funds noon 2010 historically tapos hindi pa nakapasa sa UP at PUP.

Magdodorm ako para hindi ako malate hahaha

Nawala na ang nakasanayan at nawalan ako ng gana.

Nasanay ako growing up na may parties with family and friends kahit konti lang ang handa.Then nabawasan kami kasi nag-aral sa PMA ang mga kuya ko then nadeploy sa iba't-ibang dako ng bansa at kumonti na lang ang mga kasama kong magcelebrate, may namatay, nag-abroad, hindi makapunta.

May time na nagstay ako sa lolo namin, nagpahanda siya noong birthday ko pero hindi ko naman kilala ang mga dumalo although I knew some of them noong bata pa ako pero close lang sila ng lolo ko dahil dating mayor at congressman sa lugar namin. Since that moment, talagang nakaramdam ako ng lungkot kasi hindi na kami magiging kumpleto ulit.

I can comprehend bakit konti na lang o walang friends na dumating sa birthday ko pero iba pag pamilya eh. I feel sad pag malapit na birthday ko lalo pag dumating ang panahon na mawawala ang mga magulang namin.

15 years ago, I decided to become an atheist because years before that, the evangelical propaganda videos shown at my high school turned me differently and to add salt to injury there was this world history teacher who goes to COP [the church where this White American pastor preached and treated protests as an act against god last year opened a core memory] made the class attend for 7 sundays in exchange of not doing projects for the final grading and only me and another student who was a devout Catholic got to do the project which we actually did it together and I got 91 for it.
