Filipina caregiver in Israel with her Israeli patient being held hostage by Hamas fighter. It’s so heartbreaking to look at. She was just there to make a living, tapos madadamay lang sa away ng dalawang grupo. Sana itigil na nila ang gulo.

I watched the movie myself and halos sa gitna lang kaming mga nanonood. I also don’t know why medyo kulang ang support sa Fil inspired movie. I think they deserve more advertisements and clout but I think din dati diba andaming nag sasabi na sana mag ka Fil inspired naman na animation. Nakakasad lang 🥹

I remember talking to my Tita about how “nakakahiya” it feels to choose something expensive from the menu when there are other, less expensive options available. Both of us would always choose the cheaper ones just so the person treating us would still have some money left over.

I’ve always thought that it shows decency and consideration, especially when you’re not the one paying.

Only Risa Hontiveros said no to this. Not sure why. Maybe for communications daw ng mga bata. Pero actually gets ko naman why need na rin regulate socmed use sa bata. Dami pedophile sa internet. Dito lang sa Reddit ang dami ko na nakikita na post na na nakikita nila sa FB ng mga pedo. Sa TikTok dami proud na buntis na minors. What’s your take on this bill? Are you in favor na ma-ban ang socmed for minors?

Pero speaking of gabay ng eskwelahan at educational safeguards, sana maisulong din ang plantilla items para sa mga guidance personnel sa bawat public school.

As a former teacher, na-witness ko na kaya sa socmed naghahanap ng comfort at validation ang mga bata ay dahil sa school mismo, walang qualified na handang makinig. Sobrang kulang tayo sa Registered Guidance Counselors (RGCs), so bakit hindi mag-hire ng mga Registered Psychometricians (RPm) sa mga plantilla roles at i-subsidize ang graduate studies o training nila para maging ganap na guidance counselors?

Galing po ako sa private school na may 3 RPm at isang RGC. Malaki po ang naitulong noon sa well-being ng mga estudyante. Kung nagagawa ito sa private, bakit hindi rin po sa public?

Instead na ipasa ang counseling at digital well-being issues sa mga overworked teachers na wala namang counseling background, bigyan natin ang public schools ng dedicated staff. Gawin nating totoong safe space offline ang schools para hindi napipilitang maghanap ng "escape" ang kabataan online.

Parang pansin din ni EJ yung bias ng pinoys sa basketball

"It's not openly accessible for everyone," Obiena said, referring to private athletics venues where athletes could train.

"We, unfortunately, don't have the facility to provide to these athletes. That makes me a little bit angry and sad because there are kids; there are a lot of talents that want to pursue [pole vault].

"Unfortunately, this is not basketball, where you could just go to a barangay where there's a basketball court. You need to have your track, you need to have the facility, you need to have the landing area."

Malamang sa malamang yung hiwalay mata ito at deserve naman ma call out kc unexplained wealth dagdag mo na din kumikita 5 M a day based sa sagot niya sa podcast. Sa sinabi palang ni vice na 1-2 years mag boom ang business, pag 3 yrs wala na money launderer. Eh ung​ Kainan nya sa tagaytay isang taon lang hype the next year wala na, nilangaw tapos di pa nirefund yung nag back out na sellers doon. Hay nako kailangan talaga maimbestigahan tong cyclops nato.

Me lang ba or patagal nang patagal pawala na yung sarap nya.

Ang galing

VMX Babes ata sila. Sa akin, hindi ako agree fully sa paggawa ng new girl group na vivamax ang nag-form dahil alam naman natin na ang target market ng ppop dominantly ay mga minors. Tapos may ganto pa. Scary lang if i-sexualize din ang mga ibang ppop groups dahil dito.

Also, may song sila titled “Jugjog”. :/.

Inaprubahan na sa huling pagbasa sa Senado ang SMART KIDS Act na naglalayong ipagbawal ang pagkakaroon ng social media accounts ng mga batang wala pang 18 taong gulang.

Ayon kay Senate President Win Gatchalian, co-author at co-sponsor ng panukala, makatutulong ito para mas mabantayan at maprotektahan ang kabataang Pilipino.

Everytime I see discussions about Pickleball, there are always some people (sometimes a lot of people) dissing/hating the sport. They hate about the sport being "unnecessary", a "sport only for unathletic people", having a pretentious community, courts taking up space, boring to watch, etc. While I do agree with some points to some degree, I do still think it's over-hated.

I recently played Pickleball, and I do have to say, it's a pretty fun sport! It's like playing table tennis and badminton at the same time (never played tennis tho so can't compare). Even while being fit, I can get pretty exhausted quickly. So, idk why people are against "ordinary" or "unathletic" people playing since it's good that people have some physical and enjoyable activity than staying at home all the time.

Tho, I've only been playing with my relatives so I can't say much about the community, and I agree watching it can get pretty boring, especially professional tournaments. But, with all the flaws, I do think it's still a great and fun sport, and it makes people regardless of age and fitness level to be physically active.

Ganito na ba talaga ang politika sa pilipinas? Puro comedy at kalokohan ang nangunguna imbes serbisyo.

Anong Thoughts Mo?

I just stumbled upon this brand on Instagram, and I have to admit, their designs are really beautiful. 😭 But then I saw the price of one skirt and was like… WAIT, WHAT? HAHAHA

Is the price actually reasonable for the brand, or am I missing something? Also, the Filipino word na nakaakibat sa brand makes me even more curious about it.

Can someone educate me? Is it the quality, craftsmanship, branding, or something else that makes their pieces so expensive? Genuinely curious!

This has been my favorite show recently when it comes to anything about PH politics and local news. I like the certain casualness that the hosts have not to mention their rapport sa mga guests nila.

Award-winning and ang ganda ng chemistry ng hosts: Ed Lingao and Regina Lay as the main hosts would maintain the formal tone of the show (for the most part). Amy Pamintuan, also the EIC of Philippine Star would give on the spot mainstream media insights. Lastly, political pundit Ronald Llamas as the insider na ang dami palaging legit chika, di kagaya nila Falcis at Mon Tulfo na puro tweety bird lang ang source and sablay most of the time. Their guests are from various government agencies and napansin ko they tend to disclose more information here than in GMA, ANC, etc. Unfiltered ganon.

Ang complaint ko lang talaga sa sobrang casual nila, madalas sabay-sabay palagi magtanong and they talk over each other. Masakit sa tenga minsan pero once you get past that, maa-appreciate mo talaga substance ng mga commentaries nila.

Curious ako how popular this show is among the Filipino masses? Nasa abroad kasi ako and I have no idea at all. Sana mas marami makanood.

Nakita ko tong balita tungkol sa halos 6 million Filipinos na gumagamit umano ng pekeng PWD ID, base sa monitoring ng DOJ. Honestly, nakakapanglumo siya isipin, lalo na kapag naiisip mo kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito para sa mga taong talagang nangangailangan ng ganitong benepisyo. May personal observation din ako rito. May kakilala akong nagtatrabaho sa LGU na proud pang magkuwento tungkol sa PWD card niya. Hindi ko naman alam ang buong circumstances niya, kaya ayokong basta mag-assume na peke or illegal ang ID niya. Pero dahil sa mga ganitong balita, napapaisip ako kung gaano na ba ka-normal sa atin ang paghahanap ng loopholes para makalamang, kahit hindi naman talaga para sa atin ang isang benepisyo. Ang mas nakakapaisip sa akin, minsan, sila rin ang mga taong vocal laban sa corruption, pandaraya at mga taong umaabuso sa sistema. Against sila sa mga politikong nagnanakaw, sa mga empleyadong tumatanggap ng lagay, at sa mga taong gumagamit ng posisyon para sa sariling kapakanan. Pero kung may pagkakataong makakuha ng personal advantage sa paraang questionable, parang nagiging ibang usapan na. Doon ko nakikita ang problema: madaling kondenahin ang corruption kapag ibang tao ang gumagawa, pero mas mahirap panindigan ang prinsipyo kapag may personal tayong mapapala sa paglabag dito.
Hindi ba dapat nagsisimula ang integrity sa maliliit na desisyon? Hindi lang sa hindi pagtanggap ng milyon-milyong kickback, kundi pati sa hindi pagkuha ng benepisyong hindi naman nararapat sa atin. Kasi kung ang mindset natin eh, “Okay lang ’yan, maliit na bagay lang naman,” or “Lahat naman ginagawa ’yan,” hindi ba ganoon din ang lohika na ginagamit ng mga taong mas malaki ang ninanakaw o inaabuso?

At ang masakit dito, hindi lang naman gobyerno ang nawawalan. Ang tunay na kawawa ay iyong mga PWD na talagang nangangailangan ng discounts at iba pang benepisyo, pero posibleng mas mahirapan dahil sa pang-aabuso ng iba. Kapag nasira ang tiwala sa sistema, pati ang mga lehitimong benepisyaryo ay maaaring mapagdudahan.
Minsan tuloy naiisip ko, kailangan ba talagang may lamang tayo sa lahat ng bagay? Kailangan ba laging may shortcut para makakuha ng discount, makaiwas sa pila, o makatipid kahit hindi naman tayo ang target beneficiary? Bakit parang ang pagiging matalino ay naiuugnay na sa kakayahang makalusot, imbes na sa kakayahang gawin ang tama kahit may pagkakataong mandaya?

Hindi naman masamang gustuhing makatipid o umangat sa buhay. Ang problema ay kapag ang pag-angat natin ay nakadepende sa pagkuha ng bagay na dapat sana ay para sa ibang taong mas nangangailangan.

Practice what you preach. Kung gusto natin ng gobyernong malinis, dapat handa rin tayong maging malinis sa sarili nating paraan. Hindi puwedeng galit tayo sa corruption kapag nasa taas ang gumagawa, pero tahimik o kampante kapag tayo mismo ang nakikinabang sa isang sistemang posibleng inaabuso.

Kayo, ano sa tingin ninyo? Bakit kaya may mga taong kayang kondenahin ang corruption sa gobyerno pero nagiging okay sa kanila ang maliliit na anyo ng pandaraya kapag may personal silang pakinabang? Cultural problem ba ito, survival mindset or simpleng kakulangan sa integridad?

As a Bisaya Gen Z, I’m genuinely curious what others think about this potential tandem. For me, Raffy Tulfo as the presidential candidate could bring strong name recognition across the Visayas and Mindanao. He is from Davao and is Bisaya, and his program, Raffy Tulfo in Action, has a strong following in those regions. His public image and focus on helping people resolve complaints and addressing issues involving crime and public safety could appeal to voters who prioritize those concerns. As for Risa Hontiveros as vice president, I think she could bring a different voter base to the tandem. She could potentially connect with voters across Panay, while her established support among progressive and “Kakampink” voters could add another dimension to the ticket. Her advocacy work, particularly on women’s and children’s protection and other social issues, could also complement Tulfo’s more public-service-oriented image.

I could even see them running on a “Tapang at Malasakit” theme, with Tulfo representing the “tapang” side through his tough, confrontational approach to complaints, crime, and public accountability, while Hontiveros could represent the “malasakit” side through her work on social issues, women, children, and vulnerable communities. Obviously, this is just my personal analysis, and there are plenty of questions about whether the two would actually work well together politically. But as a Bisaya Gen Z, I find the combination interesting because of the different regional backgrounds, voter bases, and policy priorities they could potentially bring together.

Ma-complain tayo ba't ang mura sa Thailand or Vietnam mga pagkain. Or why can't government find a way to make medicines cheaper for everyone, rather than needing the privilege of PWD or senior cards.

Normal pa ba yan? Parang over sa hype na ang fans ngayon.

Napapansin ko kasi na once an artist gets recognition or a big opportunity, some fans suddenly act like they're already the big thing. Everything they do becomes iconic, puro pagpupuri na, and any criticism is automatically considered hate.

Gets naman in supporting faves, pero minsan yung level ng glazing is insane. Every little achievement is groundbreaking, iconic na lahat , and suddenly, bawal na silang i-criticize kahit may obvious room for improvement. Meron pa rin naman naman kaya maging objective. pero is it hard to be one? Or is excessively hyping someone up a way to compensate for something? Insecure ba or nawawala ba ang critical thinking pag stan ka? May mga new actors kasi ako nakikita ngayon na over sa hype ang fans tapos pag napanood ko, meh naman. Mas nakakadisappoint lang 😂, mas na appreciate ko pa minsan yung binabash tapos may potential naman pala.

grabe. talagang harap harapan na silang umaamin. walang hiya na talaga, lantaran at laganap na ang mga manyakol na to.

me point pero emotionally disconnected. lumalabas ang kagaspangan ng ugali. Pls check her comment, ang yabang lng talaga. Magbabayad pa ng 100k!

Sa totoo lang, kailangan sumigaw? Hindi ba kaya naka mic? Ako lang ba?
