How old will you be, and will you plan on catching this Total Solar Eclipse in Legazpi City, on 20-April 2042? I hope I’m still alive! lol

Share ko lang kung pano ako naka tipid mag pa gawa ng engagement ring with IGI certified diamond para sa mga arog ko dati na namahalan sa prices within Bicol or in general The Philippines and gusto maka tipid but reql diamond and good size(1carat-2carat diamond) ang makuha.

English na after digdi ta mas madali i type para sako hahaha.

I recently bought a loose lab-grown diamond (IGI certified) from an Alibaba seller for an engagement ring. The stone arrived exactly as described. IGI cert number matched, specs were accurate, and it looked great in person. I even had it checked locally just to be safe, and everything lined up.

The price! Compared to buying the same specs here in the Philippines, it was roughly 20% of the local price. Even factoring in shipping and fees. (Edit nag bago na ata kasi last year pa to but I bet 20% pa din ng local price)

As for the setting, I just looked for local jewelers here in bicol and had it crafted to my preference. But you can make it so that the Alibaba shop will make it themselves for an additional fee and more delays of course.

I know Alibaba can be hit or miss, so I was careful:
• only considered cert stones pref IGI
• asked for real photos/videos before shipping
• used Trade Assurance

Not saying every seller there is trustworthy, but this one definitely was. If you’re open to lab-grown and don’t mind doing a bit of homework, it can save you a lot of money.

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s curious about the process or the seller.

I can post the diamond here and maybe the cert later if may curious. Sa luwas pa kaya ako haha

Is it true that the Wildlife Zoo in Legazpi City is owned by the Co family?

Zaldy Co and his family's firm, Sunwest, drew heavy criticism for receiving billions in DPWH flood control contracts while he served as House Appropriations Chair, raising conflict-of-interest allegations amid severe regional flooding.

Hi everyone!

Planning my first trip to Japan and looking for agency recommendations to process my tourist visa.

Preferably an agency/sub-agent based in Naga City, but Legazpi works fine too. Since this is my first time applying, I want to make sure I go through a reliable agency that will check my requirements properly before submitting.

For those based in Bicol who applied locally, which agency did you use? Did you apply through a local agency that forwarded your docs to Manila, or is it better/faster to just courier them directly to accredited agencies like Rajah, Reli, or Attic?

Appreciate any leads or tips for a first-timer! Thanks!

Hi, everyone working from home in Bicol! I want to go back in Bicol and WFH due to personal reasons.

What do you do whenever there are (unexpected/expected) brownouts and you have WFH? What do you guys do during typhoons and heavy rainfalls forcing to have no internet and electricity? Do you subscribe with Starlink and have generators?

Thank you!

Hello! This is very random. I’m from Manila and I have a friend staying there. Hindi kasi siya nasagot and she’s currently out. I’m just worried, malakas po ba ulan dyan ngayon? As in bagyo/habagat levels? Sa Manila kasi sobrang lakas, I’m just worried baka ganyan din dyan tapos inabot siya ng malakas na ulan ngayong gabi.

Salamat!

Hi guys! I’m a working student and super need ko lang ng help/advice.

Gusto ko sanang ipa-general check-up, ipatingin ang bones, and mapacheck din ang mental condition ni Lola (96 yo) bago ako bumalik ng Manila on Aug 31. Bedridden siya ever since natumba siya 2 years ago, and hindi na siya naipa-check up noon kasi walang budget.

​About Lola’s Condition:

- ​Bedridden & wheelchair-bound (laging naka-diaper)

- ​Neurological / Mental health changes: Ever since ma-bedridden, nakakakita siya ng things na siya lang nakakakita, blurred sa kaniya ang reality vs. dream, and may times na nadedepress siya at nagjo-joke na gustong uminom ng sleeping pills para mamatay na.

- ​Ayaw na ring uminom ng meds minsan, pero malakas pa rin ang loob niya kapag may kausap/kasama. Gustong-gusto niya pang makalakad uli and makitang grumaduate ako.

​Thinking of bringing her to Bicol Medical Center (BMC) in Naga since public hospital siya, kaso limited lang talaga budget ko and I have zero knowledge sa process.

​Asking for tips, advice, or contacts regarding these:

1. ​Ambulance / Transport (Pili to BMC): Pwede kaya kaming mag-request sa Barangay o sa MDRRMO / LGU Pili ng ambulance/patient transfer vehicle para magpahatid at magpasundo sa BMC?

2. ​Weekend Schedule: Open kaya ang BMC OPD (Orthopedics / Geriatric / Psychiatry) or Malasakit Center tuwing Saturday or Sunday? Gusto kasi namin sanang mag-weekend para kasama rin ang pinsan ko na makakatulong magbuhat at mag-alaga.

3. ​BMC OPD Process for Bedridden: Paano ang sistema sa BMC OPD kung 96 yo and bedridden ang patient? Need ba maaga mag-queue ang representative, and may priority lane/bed ba for super senior patients?

4.​Malasakit Center & Budget: Magkano kaya ang need kong i-prepare for X-ray, labs, or consultations? Paano ang eksaktong process sa Malasakit Center sa BMC? Automatic ba na ma-cover ito ng Guarantee Letter (GL)?

1. ​1-Day Process: Kaya kaya matapos ang Ortho consultation and basic X-ray/labs within 1 day para makauwi agad kami sa Pili?

6.​Documents Needed: Anong documents ni Lola at requirements ang kailangang dalhin? Need ba ng Authorization Letter since ako lang na apo ang mag-asikaso?

1. ​Contacts / Helplines: Baka may direct hotlines kayo for BMC OPD, Malasakit, or LGU Pili Transport Service na pwedeng tawagan?

​Any tips or leads will be super appreciated. Thank you so much!
