    Change the qualifications of candidates, or voters?

    Para kasing malaking gulo kapag sabihin natin na dapat mga makakaboto lang ay yung mga income tax payers, kahit na in reality yung mga walang alam naman talaga humihila satin pababa. Why not qualifications na lang ng candidates ang babaguhin? Parang legislative at executive lang naman ang may "able to read and write". Sa judiciary, higpit ng qualifications. Dapat equal din qualifications ng 3 branches. What you guys think?

    Hypothetical US Re-Annexation of the Philippines

    Given President Donald Trump's comments about American annexation of Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone, I've been recently thinking about a hypotheical scenario in which he also calls for the re-annexation of the Philippines as an American territory. A possible rationale behind this scenario would be something along the lines of a geopolitical deterrence against Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific. Given that I've thought about this as a way of "thinking ahead" of President Trump's neo-imperialist goals, do you guys see any basis in this scenario? Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts about this.

    bank to other bank transaction issues

    Hindi ko sure kung tama ba yung flair but anyways bear with me muna.

    So, for a month or two nagkaroon ako ng problema sa gcash in which yung laman don sa wallet ay hindi ko matransfer sa ibang wallet, literally na pag tinap ko yung three dots sa bottom left ay walang nagpapakita stuck sa same page (hanggang ngayon ganun parin). Now ang problema ko naman is pag mag transfer nmn ako from bank to maya is nag failed yung transaction, naka insta pay kase ako nun so ginawa kong pesonet and then inulit yung transaction but when i checked sa maya ko walang lumabas? tama naman yung details but why is it not appearing?. Yung problema ko sa gcash is naging malaking problema pa ngayon, kinakabahan ako kung ano mangyayare sa na transfer ko since hindi talaga sya nagaappear.

    Ito ginawa ko, from gcash nitransfer ko muna siya sa bpi then nung pumasok na nitransfer ko ulit to maya but now the problem is hindi nag rereflect yung transaction ko na yon.

    is there any solution for that? i might raise this issue na sa costumer service of both bank.

    jusko naman

    I made a map of all the branches of Jollibee in the PH and abroad (in-progress, not 100% accurate).

    So... I decided to post this here because I feel like it's time. I made this during COVID lockdown out of sheer boredom. Made this using MapHub. I simply looked up Jollibee's official store directory, and confirmed them by looking through Facebook (particularly when new stores are opening) and Google Maps. This also includes CityMall branches with the combined Jollibee Foods Corp franchises (Jabee, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Greenwich). Also, like I said, it's in progress. I have yet to include branches in the Middle East, Europe, and North America, but I have been slowly adding new openings.

    This map is downloadable (through MapHub GeoJSON, KML, GPX, etc.) if anyone wants to update it themselves or use it. I will continue to update it myself slowly, but I have university studies.

    Help: travel agency na tumatanggap pa ng japan travel dates sa April 11?

    i wanted to submit our application sa Feb 6 or 7.

    the reason is kelangan ko muna bumalik sa dubai to refresh my dubai visa para hindi macancel. i can travel tom and come back on 5th or 6th. then saka ko palang masusubmit application namin.

    Attic tours tatanggap na daw sila ng april 11 travel dates bukas(feb 3). kinda stupid lang kasi naginform sila na 2 months prior dapat application eh pasok pa naman ako sa 2 months.

    now i need a travel agency that can accept our application sa feb 7 kahit pa magbayad ako ng premium service just to get it done.

    Landlord namin pataas ng pataas ng rent 1k per year. Ano po kaya pwede pang depensa dito?

    Nag start kami 12K/month tapos yearly 1K ang increase. Sabi nya last year tapos na sa 18K pero maging 19K na raw this year. Less than 10K lang pala sakop ng rent control kaya ewan ko kung may pwede kami depensa dito. Wala naman OR dito so di naman nakaregister itong apartments nila.

    Im worried for Mayor Vico in the future

    Why am I feeling worried about the safety of Mayor Vico Sotto in the future? With all the praises and undeniable social media popularity of the mayor, Im worried na one day he might get assasinated.

    I watched lots of his daily morning routine na bumibisita sa mga barangay ng pasig city. And it makes him so vulnerable for surprise ambush.

    We know how dirty our political system is and how evil our politicians are.These assasinations happened so many times to good leaders who tries to challenge the current system.

    Im hoping na maging President natin siya maybe 10 years from now. kaya sana, he always prioritized safety. And Im always hoping for his safety.

They LIKE cheap gas and making life tough for queers. They LIKE chasing Thanksgiving Day Xmas sales. And when fascism comes, they will like that, too.

    Have you heard of this PL?

    Apparently this partylist is giving out "free" health insurance to vote...ehem "mamamayan" pala.

    There's just a few issue here:

    1. Saan galing ang budget ng insurance nila
    2. Hindi ba to form of vote buying? Giving incentives to vote...ehem "mamamayans" to vote for them?

    Honestly, mukha namang di sila mananalo pero it's still sickening that they are offering sugar pills to people para iboto sila. Yeah and eff you Korina Sanchez for letting them use your platform.

    GMA 7 SENATORIAL HEADLINE BIAS

    All Ka Leody said was that Cory and Gloria were ineffective in addressing inequality. He pointed out the privatization of utilities and the introduction of the provincial rate.

    u/gmaintegratednews, akala ko ba wala kayong kinikilingan? This is blatant manipulation, and its clearly meant to discredit Ka Leody as a misogynist when that wasnt even mentioned in his reply.

    Sobrang laki pero hindi worth it Ang mga role na ginagampanan.

    Malaking sahod pero bakit Hindi parin kuntento? Do they really run for helping the people or just securing themselves to gain this massive pay? Despite the pay they receive they still clinging for someone's money. I am not pointing a specific politician but everybody knows one reason they after this position because it means business.

    ABS/CBN New Programs

    Why is ABS-CBN producing so few new television programs? The only new teleseries/drama that is being broadcast right now is Incognito, which I am watching. Back in 2018, there were 11 different drama series shown that year, many being shown at once. See the list on Wikipedia called “List of ABS-CBN Studios original drama series”. Of course, ABS/CBN was banned from broadcasting over the air in May 2020, but afterward they continued to film many series for streaming services. Recently, production has dropped off so that their only new series is Incognito. Incognito seems to be just as good as any of the the shows they produced in the past, but that is all they are doing right now. I have an iWantTFC subscription and watch from the USA.
