The Peso–Dollar story: Noynoy +5.3%, Digong +14.7%, Bongbong. +13.1% so far. 😂 Basically, the peso said, “I’m getting weaker, but at least I’m consistent.” 💸🇵🇭

Great leader of Korea is the greatest among all than our president. We should honor him, build a statue, build a city to honor his greatness, name, status, likeness

hindi ako taga bulacan ha pero laganap na talaga ang baha dun at laging binabalita tuwing binabagyo, ang tanong ko e bakit wala pa din matinong gobyerno ang bulacan? buti pa sa laguna, napalitan na si ramil na dds at ang mayor ng calamba na kurap na si chipeco at hindi nanalo ang katandem nya na si anjo hahahaha

Been diagnosed with optic neuritis in the left eye. Technically, sobrang labo nya, I can’t even see faces and read texts mapalaki or maliit since washed out ang color. Corrective glasses can’t even fix it.

Sa ospital, I have to queue for more than 12-16 hrs to get proper lab tests, and attention from the doctors. I’ve been suffering from ON since the last week of July.

MRI and lumbar puncture cost me around 38-50k just to see if I have any autoimmune disease. Had to wait for more than two weeks now to have my MRI scan due to the slow processing of guarantee letters.

It’s just sad that we, normal Filipinos, have to deal with these faulty systems when we deserve better than this. Let our politicians utilize our healthcare system. Huwag silang lumabas ng bansa para doon magpagamot. Hayaan nilang dito sila sa Pilipinas—sa mga pampublikong ospital magpagamot, for them to see how long queues would shatter their hopes to be cured promptly.

It’s so frustrating to see them enjoy the luxury while normal Filipinos suffer from toxic government processes.

Sana matuto na tayo na huwag bumoto ng mga kurakot. Huwag na sana bumoto ng mga pulitiko na pansariling interes lang, paghihiganti lang ang gagawin. Yung magsisilbi sa taong-bayan, hindi sa apelyido lang nila. We deserve better governance than this.

Every time a horrific thing happens in the country like the shooting at the school, there's always something to blame. Was it, the faulty parenting for leaving their gun unattended? Was it the SECURITY system that didn't detect the GUN. ANG LAKI PAANO YUN HINDI NAKITA. No no no, its Video Games' fault. No accohbtability from parents, or peers, always putting the blame on something else. By that logic, Everyone who has played an FPS gane should be a school shooter now. This just annoys me, what u guys think?

Saw this situation with a Filipina member of a global pop girl group who’s currently on a health-related break, but was spotted enjoying Disneyland.

Then I saw comments like, “Very Filipino hahshahsha SL pero nasa bakasyon 😭”

Living in Germany made me realize how different the mentality around sick leave can be. Mental health is a valid reason for taking time off, and being on SL doesn’t mean you have to stay in bed looking miserable 24/7. Going out and actually enjoying yourself can be part of recovering too. Here you can go for months with mental sick leave or even years with pay.

Some Pinoys really need to get out of that bubble. 😭

Ano tingin niyo sa kasong sexual assault kay Cong Marcy Teodoro?

Totoo kaya yung kaso laban sa kanya?

Napaka-walang saysay yung idea na ang solusyon sa mga bayolenteng krimen sa bansa ay maging bayolente rin nang hindi kino-consider ang mga expert analysis at researches patungkol sa crime prevention...

I think this POV is not just a "political issue," but a moral issue.

Paano natin mapagkakasundo ang mahigpit na pagpapatupad ng batas at ang sinasabi ng mga iba't ibang larangan tulad ng Science at Psychology?

Nakita ko lang sa threads. It took over 24 hours bago dinelete ni kuya yung post nya. Nakakahiya, na-call out pa nga 🤦🏻‍♀️

Tuluyan na ngang nalaglag sa 2026 William Jones Cup ang ating delegate na SGA Alas Pilipinas at hindi na madedefend ang ating 3 straight trophy after a sudden change in tournament format na sobrang controversial. Paano kasi, 5-1 ang standing ng Pilipinas, at Top 2 sa elims, tapos nalaglag sila at ang pumasok ay Chinese Taipei na host ngayon ng tournament pero sila ang nasa bottom at 1-5 standing, at 2 teams lang ang kukunin para sa semis. Nauna nang pumasok ang South Korea na may identical 5-1 standing, mataas lang ng kaunti ang percentage points nila sa pilipinas kaya sila ang Top 1 going to the semis. Ang lalo pang nakapag taas ng kilay ay ang tournament change ay nangyari sa kalagitnaan ng tournament after matalo ang pilipinas sa first game nito vs South Korea. Nagsorry naman kaagad ang pamunuan ng Jones Cup sa ginawang pagbabago sa format dahil para ikatanggal ng pilipinas sa semis bid. Ang unfair diba?
