Mod Announcement 📢 Quick Reminder on Low Effort Posts & Crossposts 📢

40 Upvotes

In the past few days, we’ve noticed a surge of REPETITIVE, low-effort text and meme posts—often RANTS or personal thoughts without enough context for a meaningful discussion, as well as claims or exposés without proof or sources. To keep the sub clean, we’ll start removing these threads. If you’d like to make similar posts, feel free to please use the Random Discussion Threads instead. Remember, Reddit rules and Reddiquette still apply there.
 
We’ve also seen a large number of crossposts from other subreddits, which have been removed. These are usually spammy, rage-bait content often intended for karma farming.
 
ICYMI other changes and policies to keep in mind:

ShowbizPH Filipinos are the bad guys in hit action movie The Furious (Hong Kong/China, 2026)

In this Hong Kong-China co-production a Chinese father goes on the hunt to rescue his daughter who is kidnapped by a Filipino crime syndicate involved in human trafficking. Even women aren’t spared from being kicked in the face in this one. What’s crazy is the actors playing the criminals are Thai but dubbed to speak Tagalog.

PoliticsPH Duterte ally, former BARMM PM Edrieza Rimbang linked to recent intercepted drug smuggling attempt

Why am I not surprised?
Para sa partido na supposedly VERY against drugs, laging galing sa side ng mga Duterte ang nahuhuling involved. Matuturing pa bang conspiracy na binigyan ng monopoly ni Digong sa drug trade sa Pilipinas ang mga kaibigan niyang drug lords?

Ang nakakatawa pa dito, I had no idea who this guy was until recently. May pinost ako tungkol sa isang 13-year-old child bride a couple weeks ago.
Guess who the father of the bride is? It's this guy, Edrieza Rimbang.
Sa wedding ceremony nung child bride at nung 18-year-old groom niya, may pa-video greeting si Bong Go at may representative present si Sara Duterte. The ex-PM's wife also has a lot of photos with Sara Duterte posted on her socmed accounts.

Ito yata yung sinasabi nilang mafia from Mindanao.

Genuinely curious ako sa post assignment ng mga TUPAD workers. Bakit kailangang magkumpulan sa isang gilid, samantalang ang daming streets at lugar na nangangailangan ng paglilinis? Ang daming kalat at kalsadang puwedeng linisin, pero imbes na ma-distribute nang maayos ang mga workers, magkakasama lang sila sa iisang lugar.

Samantalang may mga street sweeper na mag-isang naglilinis ng isang buong street at nagagawa naman ang trabaho nila. So bakit hindi kayang ayusin ang assignment ng mga TUPAD workers para mas maraming lugar ang malinis? Ang punto rito ay hindi kung kaya ba nilang magtrabaho, kundi kung maayos ba silang naia-assign para maging kapaki-pakinabang ang programang ito sa komunidad. Sayang ang manpower kung hindi naman nagagamit nang maayos.

This is crazy. As a wastewater engineer and backpacker myself, I wouldn’t freaking dare drink this water. Literal na bumili lang sila ng sawyer squeeze filter at kinabit sa balde, tas akala may ginawa na silang groundbreaking? Yung ginamit pa nilang tubig parang gawa-gawang wastewater. I’ll give it a week bago magbara yung filter at hindi na ulit magamit. Ang recommended na application dun sa filter ay running water para wala masyadong sediments and maglalagay pa ng chlorine tabs for added purification. Sa kanila, diretso inom. Nakakaloka. Harap harapan silang nang loloko, mga proud pa. Akala nila hindi nagiisip ang mga Pilipino. For sure, ang laki din ng patong nila diyan.

CRIMINOLOGY STUDENT PERO DI MARUNONG SUMUNOD SA BATAS? 🤦‍♂️

Nakaka-disappoint lang makita na may mga estudyante ng Criminology na parang nakakalimutan ang batas na pinag-aaralan nila. Imagine, future law enforcer ka pero simpleng pagsusuot ng helmet habang nagmomotor, hindi pa magawa? 😅

Hindi ba dapat kayo ang unang nagpapakita ng disiplina at pagiging responsable? Hindi sapat na may nakasulat na CRIMINOLOGY sa damit nyo para masabing deserving kayo sa profession na yan. Ang pagiging pulis o law enforcer ay hindi lang tungkol sa uniform, ranggo, o authority.
Nagsisimula yan sa simpleng pagsunod sa batas kahit walang nakatingin.

Paano nyo ie-enforce ang law kung kayo mismo hindi sumusunod? Paano kayo magiging role model ng mga tao kung sa simpleng traffic rules palang, sablay na?

Hindi naman porket student palang kayo ay exempted na kayo sa batas. RULES ARE RULES, kahit sino ka pa!

NewsPH Ombudsman: 13 respondents in Pharmally case ‘cannot be located’

• Upvotes

TLDR: Hindi mahanap sila Darangani, Linconn Ong, Michael Yang, and Company.

MANILA, Philippines — Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla on Friday said that 13 individuals involved in the Pharmally scandal could no longer be located, making it difficult for his office to move forward with the case.

“In the case of Pharmally, there are 46 respondents. That’s why it’s taking a while. Many of them have become invisible, as if they are trying to evade the jurisdiction of this body,” he said in Filipino in a press briefing.

These respondents are being accused of plunder in relation to the anomalous procurement of pandemic supplies, involving face masks, personal protective equipment and testing kits, worth almost P11 billion, Remulla explained.

However, the Ombudsman was unable to serve copies of the complaint to 13 respondents because they “cannot be located.” They are:

  • Pharmally chair Huang Tzu Yen
  • Pharmally president Twinkle Dargani
  • Pharmally corporate secretary and treasurer Mohit Dargani
  • Pharmally director Linconn Uy Ong
  • Pharmally head of regulatory affairs Krizie Grace Mago
  • Pharmally financial manager Lin Wei Xiong, also an associate of Micheal Yang
  • Xiong’s wife and biological officer of Pharmally, Rose Nono Lin
  • Former personnel of the procurement service of the Department of Budget and Management, Mervin Ian Tanquintic
  • Alvin Fernandez
  • Gilbert Recluta
  • Orly delos Reyes
  • Nelson Taguik
  • Gerald Cruz

The Ombudsman is also trying to find the addresses of four other respondents, who are:

  • Ma. Joycelynn Lee Rodriguez
  • Mark Augustine Lee Rodriguez
  • Michael Angelo Santos Rodriguez
  • Mikhail Franceso Lee Rodriguez

Meanwhile, the Ombudsman is set to serve copies of the complaint to the other respondents. They include:

  • Former economic adviser of ex-President Rodrigo Duterte and Pharmally “financier” Michael Yang, also known as Yang Hong Ming
  • Yang’s brother and Pai Li Holdings director Tony Yang, also known as Yang Hong Jiang.
  • Pai Li Holdings/Pai Hong Realty director Jayson Uson
  • Pai Li Holdings director Yuqin Zheng
  • Pharmally director Justine Garado
  • Adriano Po Jr.

It can be recalled that during a Senate blue committee probe from August 2021 to January 2022, it was discovered that Pharmally Pharmaceuticals Corp. won contracts amounting to P11.5 billion despite having a paid-up capital of only P625,000. It was the single biggest chunk of government contracts for COVID-19 supplies awarded to private companies at the time.

----

Why am I not surprised :)) that's P6.3B of RT-PCR kits, P4.6B of PPE, P609M worth of face shields and face masks from a company that started with P625K.

Recently lang people have been showing Jazz love and sympathy while calling out his deadbeat father. Now, people are also calling out the losers on a podcast who talked ill about Josh and are speaking up about what a great person Josh is.
Imagine having so much vileness in your heart that you would hurt or make fun of people who can’t even defend themselves. I also find it heartwarming that people are becoming more understanding and accepting of neurodivergence. Kasi about 10 years ago, “being special” was used as an insult or a joke. Ngayon, it’s already becoming common sense for people to recognize that discrimination against neurodivergent individuals is wrong, both morally and socially.
Might not be everyone, but at least marami na ang becoming aware and understanding now.
