This is just the latest of a barrage of instances whereupon justice does not compromise at all, regardless of circumstance or side, and moreso upholds the rights of the truly hapless, as well as those who continually campaign for humanity's good, over those who campaign only for themselves and their ill-gotten wealth and power.

I would also like to add that she's also in the game Sayonara Wild Hearts as the Narrator herself, as a sort of last-minute addition by the developers at Simogo.

 

Tourism Secretary Cristina Garcia-Frasco is unaware of where the rumors originated regarding the potential closure of Coron and El Nido due to their ongoing water issues.

She said that during her meeting on April 11 with Secretary Benjamin Abalos of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), they did not discuss this matter.

“I don’t know the source of such information, and as far as I am aware, from my meeting with the mayors of Coron and El Nido, together with Sec. Abalos of DILG and Sec. Loyzaga of DENR, ang pinag-usapan namin ay how to collaborate with national and local governments in order to focus on certain things that need fast improvement,” Frasco said in an interview with the media during her visit to Tabon Caves Complex in Quezon town, southern Palawan, on Friday, April 12.

Frasco pointed out that significant issues plaguing El Nido and Coron include the sourcing of water, wastewater, and sewage treatment facilities, as well as the need for a sanitary landfill to prevent hazardous waste seepage into water systems.

Mariing binatikos nitong Martes ni ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. France Castro ang Davao Police matapos sabihing blangko sila sa kinaroroonan ng kontrobersyal na si Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

Sinabi ni Castro na napakalaki ng intelligence fund at confidential fund ng Davao Police pero tila aniya wala itong silbi dahilan hindi nila maituro at matukoy ang pinagtataguan ng kontrobersyal na si Quiboloy na ngayon ay may warrant of arrest na kinakaharap.

Ayon kay Police Regional Office 11-Davao Spokesperson P/Major Catherine dela Rey, wala silang impormasyon sa presensiya ni Quiboloy sa Davao.

Magugunita na inamin ni Quiboloy sa isang video post na totoong nagtatago siya dahil sa mga banta sa kaniyang buhay.

“We cannot confirm if Pastor is still in Davao because we also do not know where he is now,” ayon sa pahayag ni dela Rey.

 

Quite possibly the first fanmade song for this multi-genre rhythm game, by this musician person.

Down the chats of the official Fanlore discord server lately (of which I have been in for the past few months), they've been discussing this kind of transgression alongside the HP fanfic debacle (specifically, the Manacled one, of which upon its reworked professional release by its fanfic author gained enough controversy within and outside the fandom that it warranted for a wiki article on its own).

Also, one editor has suggested using "illegal fic binding" in place of the term "illegal "fanbinding" as the latter connotes the non-profit work with a for-profit tone in a negative way. Another has noted that het (in other words, F/M) fanfics sell much more than other pairing-centered ones, and attract more outsiders willing to buy that much for an illegal fic-binded copy, in disrespect to those original authors; throw the franchise copyright shenanigans in, and there we have the entire panfandom world at a crossroads battlefield against those recklessly profiteering for the sake of it.

Also, as a side note, there's also this recently-created wiki article section about said fannish controversy:

Most, if not all, of my experienced dreams so far, have been in 1st person, as if I'm the one living through whatever realism-fantasy-scifi shenanigans I'm in; thing is, most of the time, they're almost exclusively set within my home province, including the central capital city, highways and all.
Consuming and creating various creative media also has its own part in aligning perspectives in those dreams, as well as how the supposed "plot"/"storyline" plays out in its entirety.

Hey, I know that from OMORI—specifically, the Weeping Willow joke quest.

Recently tried out vivid/statis on PC (via my older sister's (now my younger bro's) laptop) since last week, even though I'm not that much of a rhythm game enthusiasts, speaking as a young adult keen on exploration and slow-paced music in video games.

For what it's worth, it just feels and plays quite good, with only four keys to smash and hold note bars to (much like Stepmania and other related RGs, but with the addition of bumper bars), as well as a couple of modes and storyline beats to try and dive deep into, including the tough-as-nails, one-miss-and-you-fail Ultimate mode. And its palette of featured songs are a worthwhile mention, ranging from the slow-paced to the absolute hardcore banger type. And this week, I just scored my first FC on Luminaria (Opening 1), and witnessed the game's first edition of their tournament DUALIZED ASCENSIA unfold, from start to finish. Reeked of adrenaline-fueled fun and competition.

That being said, playing through my way on this game deffo improved on my physical reflexes and typing speed quite a bit, even though I get grades lower than A on certain harder charts. I guess we will see if I can achieve my first V grade and complete Class 1 in Course Mode after a couple more rounds of practice and studying Youtube plays of some of those aforementioned charts.

Here, too. My feed's all about architecture, random ramblings, things of nature, music, and of course, Fediverse stuff.

I feel it pleasant to just curate that raftbox of mine to whatever interests I actively do have at the moment, without the vitriolic banter and doomscrolling most other social media platforms have harbored as of late.

As @Drusas also noted below, just discovering and enjoying new things, while also finding stories of humane positivity, everything nature and greenery, and listening to trackertunes that are well-crafted and have a strong storyline involved.

For a complete surprise, just the few intro part notes of bo en's "My Time".

It would be mostly this song by Filipino band Over October, even though this could also apply to those missing their own parents or siblings for so long:
Into the Light

 

The central office and 12 regional offices of the Department of Education (DepEd) have not remitted a total of P5.55 billion in taxes, insurance contributions, and loan payments deducted from teachers and non-teaching personnel as of end-2022.

Specifically, the education department failed to remit to the following government agencies and corporations:

  • P4.47 billion – Government Service Insurance System (GSIS)
  • P307.034 million – Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth)
  • P193.768 million – Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF or Pag-IBIG)
  • P572.6 million – Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)

State auditors said, “The failure by the DepEd Offices to remit the premium contributions deprived their employees of the opportunity to avail [themselves] of loan privileges, earn yearly dividends, and such other benefits…thereby causing undue injury on them.”

 

Mayroong ulterior motive siguro ang mga kampon ng mga Marcos at Duterte sa pagsa-shuffle nila ng mga araw para sa mga pambansang bayani't tanyag na pangyayari sa ngayon... May maikikilos pa ba tayo, o nahaharap tayo sa kinabukasang walang alam na bayani kundi yaong mga kumubra ng ating kasaysayan?

Vice President Sara Duterte is letting go of her request for a combined P650 million in confidential funds for the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, saying she must move on from such a “divisive” issue.

She gave this statement to the Senate yesterday amid reports that senators had decided to realign the confidential funds of the OVP and DepEd, which she concurrently heads, along with those of other civilian agencies without security functions.

 

(Published on November 9, 2023)
In a since-viral video shared on social media circles last November 8, a Palawan State University (PSU) student from the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (CEAT) can be seen incoherently screaming and behaving in an erratic way, including nearly hurling a chair, at a certain classroom in the new Architecture building.

The video also showed someone who appears to be a teacher instructing her classmates to assist the distressed student. She also offered a prayer for the young woman. In response, the classmates approached the weeping student.

She was seen too being embraced by her classmates while she continued to cry, shout, and at times, even burst into loud laughter. One individual approached her also, praying and asking for God’s help, as she continued to scream.

While speculations related to supernatural possession abound amongst professors and students, others point to a lack of a formal blessing to the aforementioned building, insufficient rest and nourishment, and the heavy workload those in the BS Architecture program are currently shouldering as probable causes.

 

Former Supreme Court senior associate justice Antonio Carpio yesterday urged the Philippine government to challenge China to submit to arbitration (namely, the United Nations’ International Court of Justice (ICJ)) its territorial dispute over Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal to finally settle which country has sovereignty.

China earlier accused the Philippines of illegally entering its waters near Panatag Shoal or Bajo de Masinloc, which is within the Philippines’ 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

Carpio explained that the Philippines’ 2016 arbitral award invalidating China’s nine-dash line virtually claiming the entire South China Sea “was only talking of the maritime dispute,” but the decision can also apply to territorial claims.

Meanwhile, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra gave his perspective on the matter, explaining that a territorial dispute differs from the since-won maritime rights dispute within the Philippines' EEZ, way back in 2016. He, along with Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla, also mulls adding environmental and territorial cases as legal options regarding the West Philippine Sea, with the former having a tentative date of early 2024.
