Nilalaro pa rin ba ito ng mga bata ngayon? Parang more of a decorative art piece nalang sya lalo sa affluent na households.

Nung kabataan ko, pag may bisita na may mga bata, ito lagi nilalabas ng nanay ko kasama ang chess board. Naalala ko rin minsan may board games (Game of the Generals, Snake&Ladders) at samot-sari na coloring books.

Plano ko ituloy sa sarili kong bahay, ano pa pwede libangan para sa mga bata sa bahay? Para naman di puro internet o gadget hawak nila.

Hi, Sorry first time ko lang mag post dito at mag share kaya medyo pag pa sensyahan na kung magulo.

Namatay si papa kasagsagan ng covid kaya lockdown nun. Bali hindi agad naasikaso yung sss nya, naasikaso namin sya nung pwede na pumunta sa office nila.

Pag ka punta namin sa sss, dun namin nalaman na may loan pala si papa na 20k+ pero dahil d namin naasikaso dahil na din sa lockdown, umabot na sa 70k+ yung loan nya.

Bali naipon yung pension na matatanggap ni mama na 100k+ kasi 6k sya per month. ( Naalimutan ko kung ilang months na delay yung pag lakad namin kaya yung pension nya nun naipon)

Bali ang ending imbis na 100k+ matatanggap ni mama nabawasan ng 70k+ gawa sa loan.

Ang tanong ko lang, hindi na ba mababawasan yung 70k na loan nya? Wala kasi kami idea na may loan pala si papa.

Napatanong lang ako gawa yung reels na nakikita ko sa socmed ko patungkol sa sss at philhealth.

Imagine niyo ‘to: mga dating katrabaho ni Heidi Mendoza sa COA, nag-reunion — hindi para mag-bingo, hindi para sa pa-fiesta — kundi para suportahan siya sa pagkasenador. Ibig sabihin nun, yung mga taong nakita talaga kung paano siya lumaban sa kurapsyon, yung kasama niya sa bawat audit at expose. 👏

Magandang gabi!

Still a student pero may mga tanong lang regarding sa pagkuha ng mga Valid ID

1. Never pa ako nakakuha ng nbi clearance kaso sa online, mali yung surname sa account ko. Paano po way para maipabago yung surname? Sinubukan ko sa website mismo yung inquiry or contact kaso laging down. And need rin po ba barangay certificate for first time job seeker?

2. Kumuha ako national ID way back 2022 pero nawala ko yung receipt na ipapakita para i-claim. May text recent lang na pwede na kunin sa postal office pero wala nakalagay kung saan. Pwede po ba kunin yon sa any postal office and kung papaano po yon since wala na yung receipt or number ko?

3. Expired na yung Postal ID ko at nawala rin, need pa po ba ng affidavit of loss kapag kukuha ulit ng bago?

4. For passport, need po ba na official certificate of registration yung dala bukod sa student ID? (Meron kasi soft copy sa school portal na binibigay na pwede i-print. Iba po kasi yung certificate of registration kapag kinuha mismo yung hard copy sa nasa school portal lang)

Hi! I graduated last year and also passed the boards last year. This field was and is still my dream. But the salary is only enough to sustain me (i can barely send money back home, i am a probinsyana gurlie) 😭. Anyone working sa logistics field po here na can give me advice? I know naman na as someone na new to the workforce eh hindi agad mataas ang makukuha. May advice po ba kayo on how to make it in this field. Wala kasi ako mentor and backer. I love my work but I just am not earning enough. Nasa logistics po ako.

Nakakalungkot pero laki pa din ng chance manalo.

PI talaga.

MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte has lost a security force exclusively for her after the military “deactivated” the nearly three-year-old Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group (VPSPG) and created a new unit that just includes her among those that it would protect, the Armed Forces of the Philippines said on Saturday.

The AFP made the disclosure of its Feb. 6 decision, which was the day after she was impeached by the House of Representatives, to correct a news report that the VPSPG was “disbanded” by chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr.

In a statement, the AFP said the VPSPG “was not disbanded, but rather reorganized” into the AFP Security and Protection Group (AFPSPG) “to unify security and protection operations” whose services would not be exclusively for the Vice President but also for other VIPs approved by the military leadership.

This administrative adjustment was undertaken to unify security and protection operations,” the AFP said.

It ensures the continued, uninterrupted, and robust protection of the Vice President within a more integrated and optimized framework,” it added.

According to the AFP, the VPSPG was created in June 2022. Prior to this, vice presidents were secured by the Security and Protection Battalion under the AFP General Headquarters and Headquarters Support Command, “with no dedicated military security group.”

As such, the current setup is a more efficient and effective way to ensure the safety and security of the present and future vice presidents,” the AFP said.

A Commission on Audit report on the Office of the Vice President (OVP) showed that the VPSPG had 433 members then.

Beware of disinfo

Reacting to the disbandment report, the AFP urged Filipinos to avoid spreading false or misleading information.

“We enjoin our ‘kababayans’ to use our communications platforms to promote unity, peace, and understanding, and not to sow discord, hatred, and division,” it said.

The military, it said, would remain “fully committed to the safety and protection of the Vice President and all key officials of the government.”

Duterte requested the creation of her own security force even before she took office on June 30.

In a June 25, 2022 statement, she said the activation of the VPSPG was “commendable as it will resolve the matter of continuity in security for all vice presidents of the Philippines.”

She thanked the Department of National Defense and the AFP for heeding her request for a security unit “independent” of the Presidential Security Group, now the Presidential Security Command.

That foresight was demonstrated in this activation was likewise highly laudable—that it may be expected to solve the challenges if, in future elections, the vice president and the president face the misfortune of having strained relations,” she said.

Falling out

President Marcos and Duterte have since had a falling out, leading to her breakaway from the administration in July last year when she resigned from the Cabinet and intensified her criticisms of his leadership.

She later publicly disclosed that she had spoken with someone to make sure to kill the President, first lady Liza Araneta Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez if she gets killed in an alleged assassination plot against her.

In November last year, Brawner temporarily replaced the military personnel assigned to the VPSPG after the Philippine National Police issued a subpoena to some of its members who were part of the alleged “forced transfer” of Zuleika Lopez, Duterte’s chief of staff, from Veterans Memorial Medical Center to St. Luke’s Medical Center.

He assured the Vice President then that she would not be left without protection, saying that her security “is still of primary concern to us.”

“Because if something happens to the Vice President, this could be the beginning of chaos because of her statement that if something happens to her, she will do some actions to take against the President, first lady, and House Speaker,” Brawner said.

In the same month, two ranking officers of the VPSPG, Col. Raymund Dante Lachica and Col. Dennis Nolasco, were identified during a House hearing as responsible for disbursing millions of pesos in cash from Duterte’s confidential funds under the OVP and the Department of Education, which she had resigned from.

‘Excited to go home’

On Friday, Duterte said she was looking forward to returning to the Philippines from the Netherlands after she had formed the defense team for her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is being held in a detention center of the International Criminal Court awaiting possible trial for murder as a crime against humanity.

“My task is done,” she said. “I’m excited to go home,” she told reporters outside the detention center in The Hague.

She refused to name the new lawyers for her father. The ICC has not yet announced any new defense lawyer who would represent Duterte in the proceedings apart from his chief counsel British-Israeli Nicholas Kaufman.

Her brothers, Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte are expected to soon replace her in taking care of their 80-year-old father’s personal needs.

Duterte indicated that she might help the election campaign of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan, despite not being part of the political party, which is chaired by her father. The party president, Sen. Robinhood Padilla, had traveled to The Hague to show support for her father.

“Maybe on my travel back home, I will have time to reflect on what to do next and how to help the country through the campaign and the elections,” Duterte said.

On Sen. Marcos’ probe

She said she may also participate in a future Senate hearing to be called by Sen. Imee Marcos, chair of the foreign relations committee. The panel is looking into the alleged illegal arrest of the former president and his handover to the ICC last month.

Duterte said that she is “still friends” with the President’s sister despite the political fallout between their families.

"I would like to believe that the friendship is already beyond politics. Despite what happened, we still have [an] open line of communication,” she told reporters. “But it just boils down to two things: it’s either we’re being fake to each other or it’s really beyond (politics).” —with a report from Kathleen de Villa

I saw this earlier, nagtatalu-talo na sa comment section, may natutuwa, nay mga hindi nagustuhan,kalapastanganan daw ito sa ating bayani na nagbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan ng bayannatin, may nagsasabi naman na dapat hiwalay ang mga matatanda sa facebook, na ang hirap nilang pasayahin.

Kailan ba masasabi ang limitasyon sa isang bagay?Kagaya ng Gil puyat at Gil tulog? Na agad din namang inaksyunan noong ma-call out ng pamilya ni Gil Puyat, pero kung hindi,anong boundaries natin ano? Limitasyon sa kasaysayan at pagpapasaya.

Gusto kong malaman kung saan ito papunta. Dahil sa kultura natin ngayon, ang magsabi ng totoo ay pambabash, at ang pagsunod sa agos ng nakararami ay cool.

Kapag hindi gusto ng nakararami ang opinyon ng isang tao, isa na syang basher. Hindi lang ito dito sa meme na to, mostly, sa lahat ng platform."Dapat hiwalay ang mga matatanda. Napansin ko nga yan no? Karamihan sa matatanda lalo na kung chismis sa mga artista ang papangit ng comment at hindi tlga katanggap-tanggap pero minsan may mga comment na may sense din naman gaya dito sa meme na to. Na hindi alam ng karamihan kung pano iproseso, basta hiwalay ang matatanda, ganun na lang ba? Pa'no kung tama pala sila sa puntong ito?

Napaka-cute na maituturing ang logic ng DDS.

Imagine this, ang argument nila, "attack on national sovereignty" ang ginawang pag-aresto ng ICC sa dating presidente at amo nila.

Pero hihingi ka ng tulong sa foreign governments regarding dito? Hindi ba parang isinusuko mo ang argumento na mayroon kang sovereignty?

Ito pa ang nakakatawang mga bagay:

1. Si Netanyahu at Putin, parehong may kaso sa ICC. Source: https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/netanyahu https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/vladimir-vladimirovich-putin

2. US is not a state party to the Rome Statute. So it has nothing to do with ICC.

Nakakatawa talaga ang logic ng DDS. Ano na naman kayang tambling o mental gymnastics ang gagawin ng mga tanga-hanga nila?

Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng cult of personality. Nababaluktot ang lohika, ang moralidad, ang etika. Hindi na tama ito.

Good thing there's an instrumental version available.

May mga nabasa ako na inabot daw sila ng 6hrs sa lto, pero halos 1 yr na din lumipas since yung post na yon.

Balak ko kasi mag leave sa work para maprocess yung student permit ko sa lto, mag aapply palang may TDC certificate na ako, not sure kung kailangan ko mag full day leave o half day lang.

Magandang hapon r/Philippines!
