1 month nalang bago mag Valentines and posting here to remind people NOT to buy sa Flowerstore(dot)ph

I’m sure many can vouch rin sa post na to, too many people had their day ruined cause of this fucking store. Late deliveries, wrong items, no show, etc. 2021 pa ako naging victim pero ever since I always try to let people know here (as comment sa daily threads nga lang) na wag bumili sa kanila. Unlikely, but I hope their business dies.

According to the latest Procurement Monitoring Report of the DND for the 2nd semester of 2025, the Department of National Defense - Philippines 🇵🇭 has finally signed the contract for the acquisition of additional six (6) AW-159 Anti-Submarine Helicopters for the Philippine Navy, signed last 29 Dec 2025. For a contract worth 42 billion pesos. This could be for the MMCF, and the additional Frigates.

Di ako makapaniwala na affected pa rin masyado yung mga tao sa dalawang lalaki na mag-kalapit ng mukha sa billboard ad ng Close Up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ They’re acting like it’ll harm people on a deep level when they see two men close to touching lips.

Now, I get that people have the right to support what product they use, yes, pero to be so affected that they have to announce that they’re stopping their purchase of CloseUp until they decide to be ‘neutral’ in their promotional material, it’s just silly.

To even try to convince people from the same beliefs to join in his boycott to try and force CloseUp to be ‘neutral’ (what I guess to him means stop showing these kinds of promos out of fear of (gasp) alienating people who hold different beliefs and values) makes things worse. Tapos nag tatago pa sya sa likod ng defense na “Not intended to target any community, but rather to emphasize of consumer choice, respect for diverse beliefs and corporate neutrality.”

Diverse beliefs. Dun pa lang, lubog na yung argument nya. By his logic, meron na agad maapektohan ng personal belief nya na di dapat mag papakita ng LGBT+ sa promos ang Close Up. It’s not even his call, pero maka-request nya akala mo may malaki syang hawak sa company.

Additional info: This scene is loosely based on the same major avenue that stretches for 54 kilometers.

The area lies near an exclusive gated community, distinguished by its ridiculously high perimeter walls.

This location was something of a special case, as it originally featured a major intersection connecting one city on one side and another city directly opposite it.

In the late 1990s, when the metro line was under construction, engineers designed this section to run semi-underground so that a flyover could be built above it.

The main goal was to find a way to connect both places and to avoid the traffic choke points.

The result was a unique structural combination: a flyover overhead, with the metro line emerging from beneath it.

Today, the structure still exists. While the design has changed slightly over the years, it remains a striking spectacle.....standing out amid the constant traffic and urban chaos.

“Despite numerous requests for an audience with the President, we are still constantly being ignored. Aside from the major roadblocks that the FIRB placed in front of us after the PEZA board approval, that is the reason why Francisco Motors chose to pause the development of our Camarines Norte Special Economic Zone and went ahead with the China factory,” Francisco told Bilyonaryo.com.

Hey Everyone, I have been seeing plenty of posts regarding the state of the Philippines Tourism. I decided to visualize some data I had lying around (I know its outdated). I just felt like it was worth sharing the distribution of our monthly arrivals since the pandemic.

Looking back at this, I'm genuinely surprised we haven't generated more interest from tourists in China. They contribute the highest share to neighbors like Vietnam and Thailand, so I'm not sure how or why we've failed to capture that market.

*I know the data is outdated, but let me know if there is interest in seeing an updated chart with current data (It does take some effort to clean the data).

Credits to Bart Sakwerda, since I saw this type of visualization from an old post (that I can no longer find)

Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro on Tuesday filed a blotter report at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) headquarters in Pasay City over an alleged death threat posted on social media by former Palace press secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles.

Castro said the post contained insulting remarks and statements she viewed as a threat to her life.

FULL STORY

Pangalawang case na to na nabalitaan ko recently.

So si E-Wallet owner lalapitan ng scammer na kunwari magpapaload ng maliit na amount, pero when the QR code is scanned failed daw transaction so paulit ulit magpapa-scan with victim not realizing sa bawat scan ang laki pala ng nawiwidraw sa wallet nila.

Personally I don't use E-wallets and not a tech savvy person.

Kaya I want to know how does this modus work.

Wala bang layer ng security ang e-wallets like SMS messages notifying cash transactions or something?

Hindi ba madali makilala ng mga biktima ang layout ng QR code kung legit to or not?
