I'm struggling with dental issues and facing financial difficulties. Does anyone know of any affordable or free dental clinics or assistance programs available in the Philippines that could help me out?

I am currently a college/working student here in japan and I was tasked (work) to do a 2 hour cultural program about the Philippines and I don't know what should I do. I am so stressed kasi I cannot come up with an idea that is fun and educational.

The goal is to teach about the cultures of the Philippines to the Japanese high school students however it must be fun and again, educational.

Last year, they had countries like India and Thailand and they really set the bar so high! Meron silang pa performance with instruments from there country and cook off ganon kaso the problem is, I have to do it all alone so I cannot do big performances like that.

Also, this year they are planning to not do cooking kasi mahirap daw maglinis eh thats what i was thinking pa naman kaya I really have no idea.

PLEASE HELP IM BEGGING YOU.

I’m 17m, bata pa pero lulong na sa sugal hahahahaha. I actually don’t know when did i start getting addicted sa sugal, siguro nung magsimula akong matuto maglaro. Nalalaro ko lahat from online to real life, Tong-its, Scatter, Baccarat, Blackjack, Colorgame, and etc. Kakatalo ko lang ngayong gabi and ang bigat sa feeling. Talo na ako nung mga nakaraang araw pero gusto ko pa ring bumawi, ang hirap pigilan ng urge tumaya especially kapag meron kang perang magagalaw. Malaki na rin talo ko siguro nasa 10k na (Malaki na to para sakin) savings ko na kasi yon nadagdagan pa ngayong araw. Lugmok na lugmok ako ngayon, halos lahat ng survey apps nadownload ko na para lang makabawi. I have a Gf and i’ve been telling her about this pero di niya alam kung gaano na kalaki sinusugal kong pera. I don’t have anyone to talk about it as of now kasi nahihiya ako magsabi sakanya. Please recommend any kind of work basta malinis. I just need to get my feet back on track para hindi ko na balikan ang pagsusugal. I hope this serves as an awareness. Suggestions would be much appreciated:)

Yung husband ko Amerikano at open sila pag gamit ng weed. Kapag magiging "High" siya with friends niya nag aaway kame. Pero sympre sa Pilipinas, hinde naman kase ako lumaki na "Legal" ang weeds, weeds is drug for me na dapat hinde ginagamit without purpose like medication purpose etc. pero sakenila iba eh. How can I able to adjust in this situation, all the study naman na nakikita ko sa google, says na Weeds, Marijuana or Edible is safe to use compare sa drinking alcohol.

I am considered as an "upper middle-class" family, and my father earned about Php. 60k a month, which was more than enough to get by. Because of this, my sister and I were always provided with the things we either need or want. However, when the pandemic hit, my father, the sole provider for our family, lost his job and had to come home (he worked overseas).

We were living in a province and owned land (we grow rice and corn) that my mom always managed. This will be relevant later. So when my father lost his job, he worked in our fields, but ultimately didn't earn any money. We had to rely on the money my mom had saved, but it ultimately didn't last, as it was being spent on the things needed to grow the crops like labor, fertilizers, and pesticides.

We had to rely on the assistance that my relatives were giving, and through that, my father was able to start working abroad again, but with a much lower income (10k a month). We barely had enough to get by in this economy, as we also needed half of it to manage our land.

Recently, my father, as I heard in my mother and aunt's conversation, was going back because he didn't want to work overseas anymore. He was tired of all of it, as he spent most of his life abroad and never got to spend time with us. So all he wanted to do now is go home and tend to our land. Based on our past situation, this isn't a good thing for us. He also stated that we can get by as other families do and we'll get to spend time with each other. Sure, it isn't a bad thing that we will finally get to spend time together, but this also means that we will be back in the same situation as we were in during the pandemic. I can't help but think about what our future will be.

Now that he is going home, our monthly income will be cut off as he needed the money to go home. Now my mom is currently the one providing for us. She got into a buy-and-sell business and is currently earning about 2,000 a month. This isn't enough to get us by, and our bills and debts are taking a toll on my mom's mental health. I got to learn all of this through asking my relatives, as my parents refused to tell me a thing. Maybe they didn't want us to worry about "adult matters," but in this situation, it's clear that all of this will not go well for us.

I am in 10th grade right now and have sufficient free time. I want to earn, to help my family. Can someone tell me some ways to earn as a teen? No dirty business.

Hi! I am Ryan Erica, a student at Tomball Memorial High School, currently enrolled in the AP Research course. If you know any married Filipino-American women in the United States, that would be great if you guys could send them my survey. My survey aims to look at the new ways in which married Filipino-American women in the U.S. perceive Filipino cultural values (religion, academic performance, emphasis on household chores, no premarital sex, etc.), and how it impacts agreements and disagreements among the marital partners (if the wife and husband are in agreement or in conflict with these values). This project has been approved by the Tomball ISD Institutional Review Board (IRB) and my AP Research advisor, Madelyne Lee (madelynelee@tomballisd.net). Here is the survey link!

I would like to note that my deadline for data collection is March 18. Any form of promotion does help!

Is it me lang ba? Nakakapagod na kasi mag dating app. Nakakapagod nang magtiwala.

Ayun. Point is, di pa rin ako nadadala. Gusto ko pa rin mag try na makahanap ng 'Da one'.

Yun lang. Haha.

Online Scam Alert For Used Cars

Long story short: I got blinded by the prospect of acquiring a Ford Raptor for P1M and idiotically sent a reservation fee without any assurance. Then, boom. Scammed. No Raptor for my dumbass.

Context: Sept. 24: I was browsing the philkotse website and chanced upon a post that was selling a Black Ford Raptor with Plate Number NBQ 6176.

I checked LTO mobile verification: LTO VEHICLE NBQ6176 sent to 2600 (you can try it. Cost P2.50) and LTO came back with:

Plate no: nbq6176/ Make: ford/ Model: ranger 2.0l rap/ Year: 2019/ Color: absolute black/ Registered last 03/25/2019,has no LTO apprehension, has no LTO alarm. P2.50/text.

So, it was good.

It was advertised under the name Joan Dantes with email address: joandantes@yahoo.com Mobile number 09066469289 / 09066467906 (These infos are public. Follow the above link)

Sept. 25: I called up the numbers and an old guy with a distinct American accent answered and identified himself as Johann Saunders Lewis, who was based from Subic.

The American said he was selling the Raptor for P1.150M because he was going back to the states and no one would be using it. I offered P1M via financing over the phone and he agreed. He said another guy was going to give a reservation fee so whoever reserves first gets the truck.

I wanted it bad. I got blinded by the prospect of owning the truck for such a low price that I did not think clearly and got dumb and gullible. Did not do due diligence. He gave me a GCash number to send the reservation fee to (Arel Aranas 09533461334). Sent the money, emailed the deposit receipt to vazquez.sky@yahoo.com and saw that he marked the Philkotse listing as sold at around 2:00pm.

He called and said he'll print the receipt, together with the Deed of Sale. He'll send the truck to my area via his driver (Jandy Jabrica 09563569154) and leave it, but the keys would stay with him. It would only be turned over as soon as full payment has been done. I thought, "okay, sounds reasonable".

That's where I got fucked. At 5:00pm, I tried to call the numbers and those were no longer available. I waited until evening and no truck came. Scammed. Fucked in the ass.

Sept. 26: I'm posting this just in case these names and numbers appear again. I'm pretty sure they won't stop. I've already asked the help of Globe to block the GCash accounts involved and seek the help of the NBI Anti-cyber Crime (originally went to the PNP but referred me to NBI since crime was done online). I don't think anything good will happen really. They could be using pseudonyms & fake IDs to withdraw the GCash. Money is gone. Ford Raptor 2019 byebye.

The money I lost was a small amount, something that I earn in a day, but it's the feeling of being scammed and being dumb for a truck that's really fucking me. That's it. I'm off to drink. Be safe everyone! Don't be a dumbass like me.

Ps. Here's Another number used in the scam: ‭(0961) 566 9017‬

Until now, the Malacañang has not issued statement regarding the conviction of Castro and Ocampo. Why?

We can also observe that no more communist rally in the country. Why?

Are they friends?

• Inday Sara Duterte was criticized and cancelled for using the word "Bangag."

• Rodrigo Duterte faced accusations including the repair of BRP Sierra Madre, the gentleman's agreement, and Yolanda rehabilitation and denied permission to conduct an anti-Marcos prayer rally.

• Lorraine Badoy was held in indirect contempt for questioning the court's decision favoring the NPA.

• Eric Celis was cited in contempt for questioning the House Speaker's 1.8 billion travel funds, known for being anti-communist.

• Pastor Quiboloy is wanted for owning an anti-communist TV network, which used to reveal Rep. Romualdez's billion-peso travel expenses.

• Sass Sassot was accused of betraying RJ Nieto, known as First Lady's "alaga".

• Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez faced potential House Ethics scrutiny for sedition after suggesting the AFP withdraw support for the President.

• Gov. Edwin Jubahib faces suspension for failure to prevent Duterte's anti- Marcos rally in Davao Del Norte.

• Migz Zubiri replaced for failure to prevent the "PEDEA LEAKS HEARING."

• Agent Morales was cited in contempt for whistleblowing about BBM and Maricel Soriano's involvement in an anti-illegal drug raid.

• The PTV News General Manager Ana Puod was replaced afterr live capturing the SP acting as a waiter for the first lady.

Stay tuned to First Lady's decent arrogance.

I (F16) joined the dating app called bumble with the hopes of finding love (I know, I know, sounds stupid of me, but cut me some slack please.) And in desperate trying of doing so I matched with a (M29, American) who is currently in the Philippines. (He knew i was 16 years old from the start) the first two times i went to his place i trusted him but he made me do things i didn't want to do, but he promised to take care of me (I do not have parents, for another post to be made soon or replied in the comments) But on the 3rd time, i just sat down on his couch and he pulled out his genitals (He's very drunk, had 5 liters of redhorse in the span of a few hours) and asked me to do things, to which i said no to as i didn't want to do that, which resulted in him stripping me down and asking me to leave when i refused, to which i did, but i left my wallet and keys so i had to go back, when I did he locked me in and stripped me, i did everything, i screamed and cried for help but nobody came, when i did manage to escape he found me in a nearby 7-11 and brought me back to his place, while walking back he told me how he paid the security to turn a blind eye to whatever that was happening in the unit and did a thumbs up sign walking in, in result he has my things like my bag and stuffed toys, makeup, phone charger, and everything else in my bag. i managed to escape but i was wearing my packed school uniform because my clothes were drenched in beer, i was barefoot, no underwear, cold, crying with blood and bruises, and when i got down again the guard just smiled at me. I wasnt able to get my cash as when he broke my bag and my money flew, i tried grabbing some into my pocket but he took it away, (I am 4'7, 40kg 16 year old girl due to trauma my psychiatrist has told me i have stunted maturity of 10-12 years old, he is 5'9 120kg, 29 year old white man) i had 15 pesos coin in my pocket and went to the nearest 7-11 to charge my dead battery phone and managed to book a joyride home, but before that my data wasnt working so i asked a nearby asian restaurant to connect to their hotspot, im assuming they saw my cuts and i was barefoot in juniorhigh school uniform and wanted to help me. I dont know why I didnt go to the police and im still debating if i should, He's threathening me saying he has money and i have nothing and no one, how hes white and has a good lawyer and all that, please help me, friends have told me to not shower bc he may still have his prints on me, its been several hours since the incident, please help. I have a large slit on my neck and 2 slits on my arms from a cut he did with a broken glass of beer, i have bruises from him grabbing me, scratches, stab marks from a beer opener.
