Just great, first the super typhoon and now this 😔 And that is NOT a "slight increase".
"#Phivolcs also observed a slight increase in #SulfurDioxide emissions in the past two weeks. From an average of less than 3,000 tons per day between April 1 and May 21, the average rose to 5,360 tons per day between May 22 and June 1." #Philippines#Volcanoes
"The #rockfall events and #PDCs were more than the 254 and 17 recorded on Saturday, respectively, while the #VolcanicEarthquake decreased significantly from the 65 logged the day before." #Philippines
Well, I've seen both terms used to describe a variety of things in different circumstances. For example, the terms have been used to describe language(s), cuisine, products, geography, schools, and countless other things from the #Philippines.
So just to pick one of those, when speaking of cuisine from the 🇵🇭, should we say 'Philippine cuisine', 'Filipino cuisine', or as you've suggested 'Tagalog cuisine'?
“Love the Philippines” even when it’s Switzerland, Indonesia, UAE, Thailand, and a host of locations in other countries that are used in a promotional video for the Southeast Asian country.
The Philippines’ Department of Tourism (DoT) was left red faced after the errant video containing footage of foreign locations purporting to be The Philippines was published on Facebook last week. Angry Filipinos quickly called out the government department for allowing the video to be published.
The DoT apologized and condemned the release of the video once they realized the issue. It was part of the country’s latest tourism campaign which launched last month.
Meanwhile, DDB Group Philippines, the agency responsible for producing the video had told the DoT that all the footage used were original but later admitted that those were stock videos taken from content provider Storyblocks. The agency took the video down in short order.
The agency apologetically said that the video was meant to be a mood video to show what the final work is supposed to look like. Mood videos are not meant for public release.
"The plan has also drawn criticism both domestically as well as internationally, from neighboring countries such as #SouthKorea, the #Philippines and #China. Their argument is that this is a transboundary issue — that waste water released by Japan is not going to just stay in and around Japan." #Fukushima#NuclearPlant
Okay so maybe I'll do another #Introduction since it seems timely. I'm Anton, I'm from the #Philippines and I'm currently a #PhD student in #Mathematics at University of Vermont.
Within mathematics I specialize in #NumberTheory and within number theory I specialize in #ArithmeticGeometry. If I have to be even more particular, I work on automorphic forms, Galois representations (including p-adic Hodge theory), Shimura varieties, and arithmetic manifolds which cannot give rise to Shimura varieties. All of these things which seem rather broad are related to and somewhat unified by what is known as the Langlands program.
I also have a master's degree in #Physics; I currently do not do research related to physics (though some of the math that I use, such as the theta correspondence, were inspired by physics) but I have a soft spot for #MathematicalPhysics (maybe in the future I'll be able to work on that).
Besides math I like a lot of stuff especially #CuteAnimals and especially #Bunnies. I also like #VideoGames especially of the #JRPG genre, though I'm both too busy and too poor currently to play them. Like a lot of Filipinos who grew up in the 90's and 2000's I like #Anime and #Manga (especially from that era). I also like #Art by which I just mean anything that looks cool to me. I mainly want to discuss #Math on here, but by no means will I be posting about only that.
Our project ZooMap is looking for an international PhD student to join the #Germany team.

Deadline for application is on July 31, 2023. Please spread the word!
"It's not a Brompton, brah" is what goes in my head, every time someone asks me about my bike, like this morning, on my way to the yoga studio.
We have a lot of #bicycles on #Philippines' roads now, and @pinoy r̶i̶d̶e̶ @padyak their folders, and it takes them where they want to go. Good enough right?
Happy to see another folder at the parking rack today.
As a Filipino, this faux pas is so unprofessional and super cringe. The "It's More Fun In The Philippines" campaign from the past administrations was inspired and hard to top. #Philippines
In the case of the #Philippines, #voting does not keep the fascists out but rather brings them into power. The question is, why is it that people vote for fascists? Is it because they are themselves fascist? No, I don't think so. I think people vote for fascists precisely because they are alienated from true political agency. #Fascism presents itself as empowering, promising agency that people lack. People want lower prices, Marcos promises to enact their wishes, an avatar for the people's agency. But the agency presented by electoral fascism is precisely Spectacular—it is an image of power rather than power itself, a Spectacle in the Situationist sense.
The challenge then is to smash this Spectacular agency and capacitate people to practice their agency directly—mutual aid, popular assemblies, direct democracy outside the state, etc.
The ballot presents us with false Spectacular agency, and it's up to us to provide true agency.
Senator Nancy Binay: The Department of Tourism should also be more discerning and critical on pegs, concepts, storyboards, and drafts that ad agencies present to them. There were lapses, too, on the part of the client.” #travel#tourism#newtourismslogan#Philippines
Hands-down, they bake the best croissants in the #Philippines -- if you don't mind going out of your way.

Lovingly flaky, flavorful without being overly butter-y, and perfectly sweetened. I had mine with some blueberry confit, and it still wasn't cloyingly sweet.
I'm Agas Ramirez, host of the #HERstory#SoutheastAsia#Podcast. I share women's history from the region, like the stories of Supayalat of #Myanmar , the Trung Sisters of #Vietnam , Prinsesa Urduja of the #Philippines , & Emiria Sunassa of #Indonesia . My latest series is on the #Manila Carnival (1908-1939).
Follow me for all things Southeast Asia! Looking forward to reblogging your posts. #TootSEA
ICYMI: Ep 10 is about Prinsesa Urduja, a legendary warrior princess who led her own army. While she was recorded by Ibn Battuta in the 14th century and is a popular heroine in the Philippines, we still don’t actually know for sure where Tawalisi is... Excerpt here! 👇🏾
