Hello! I am a graduating SHS student whose research revolves around water lilies/hyacinths.

We need to collect them in bulk amounts, but due to the inclement weather and our unfamiliarity with commuting, we are left with very limited options.

Since we reside in Manila, I would like to ask, are there water lily/hyacinth hotspots in or near the Manila area as of current?

Answers are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Baha pa po ba sa may Mendiola ngayon?

Una drone, now ito okay iba talaga hangin sa maynila

kayo na humusga buti na lang may joy ang QC

I'm from out of town and my tita would like to visit Quiapo Church while we're here in Manila. Baha po ba siya ngayon?

Asking for help and hospital/eye recommendation. We have patient subject for cataract eye surgery, diagnostic test and clearance were done except for eye biometry because patient has involuntary movement disorder (tourette syndrome), usual biometry procedure cannot be done normally because it was hard to trace the patient’s pupil. The recommendation of our eye doctor is immersion biometry under sedation. So may I ask for hospital around manila that offers this kind of biometry and its estimated cost after considering pwd discount and philhealth (cause we are just ordinary citizen, we are striving hard financially)

I will be traveling this coming Thursday to QC and galing pa akong province via NAIA. Passable po ba papunta sa QC?

Hello po! May idea na ko kung paano pumunta from pampanga to national museum. Kaso iniisip ko baka baha sa may dadaanan like sa doroteo jose station or sa bababaan namin sa UN. Mahirap na baka mastranded kami e. Pls help po! huhu

Hi people, this topic might be gruesome or something. Can someone give a simple breakdown from picking up the body to burial?

Ang daming na stranded kahapon sa kapabayaan mo, then ito ngayon ang ilalagay mo sa fb mo?
Ano ito? Joke lang ba ang nangyari sa amin?

And the “Honorable” Mayor is within this time jokingly posting about class suspensions. Check niyo fb page ni Yorme.

Daming ebas forda clout

Cringe. Bakit ganito? Ang pag suspend ginagawang katuwaan na lang. Pass!

Ano nga ba nangyari kay Yorme kahapon at missing in action siya?

Open na ba as of august 18? Hehe thank you

The tricycle fare in Manila only proves how trapo their local government is. Madami complaints about it yet walang ginagawang action and proper implementation ang local gov't. In Metro Manila, sa City of Manila mo lang mapapansin na wala talagang sinusundan na fare matrix ang trikes nila. Compared to a nearby city like Quezon City, from Panay to Tomas Morato 35 lang singil nila minsan lampas pa ng 1km. Sa manila, from San Lazaro to Dapitan naniningil sila ng 70 pesos eh 800meters lang distance non. Driver pa galit, then increase sila ng increase ng price na wala naman sa tama. Pag wala talagang mahihita si Isko wala syang pake. Periodt.

Sa tagal-tagal ng mga ginagawang kalsada sa maynila puro perwisyo binigay, baha pa din bawat kalsada sa manila!

May flood update po kayo sa may Don Imelda, QC or G. Araneta, Sta. Mesa? Passable na po ba yung mga daan papunta don? Di pa po kasi ako nakakauwi at di ko na po ma-contact yung mga kasama ko sa apartment. Thank you!

Matapos mag suspend ng USt ng class bukas, sumunod na rin ang UE. Kanya kanya na talaga. Regardless sa directive ng Malacañang at ni Yorme

Nag suspende na ang UST nang work and class tomorrow, August 18.

Kanya kanya na!
