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.

So when the Marcos Jr administration, which did not campaign on any relevant issue during the elections except for the aspirational Php20-per-kilo rice, announces that it is prioritizing efforts to ensure food security, it comes as a complete surprise.
More interestingly new is that Marcos Jr himself, despite his absolute lack of work culture, sits as the agriculture secretary
#BDO Unibank in the #Philippines has been having issues lately with their OTP. Apparently, it affects their app as well. Anyone know who their SMS platform provider is?
How the FUCK is this shit still fucking happening in the Philippines? This is the type of people enforcing our fucking laws. How the FUCK are these people still in their positions?? AX THE FUCK OUT OF THEM #LGBTQ#Philippines
According to a 2023 SWS survey, 79%, or about 4 out of 5 Filipino adults agree that gay and lesbian people are 'just as trustworthy as any other Filipino'
It's so scary for queer Filipinos what was done to Awra Briguela, a recognized, famous, popular celebrity being handcuffed and manhandled by Makati police in broad daylight for defending her girlfriends against a man harassing them. The creep punched Awra, and she just punched back.
And the fucking creep is roaming the city scot-free. What the hell is going on in Abby Binay's Makati?? And if this type of shit happens to famous queer people, how much more to those who aren't? #lgbtq#philippines
Last year, the Filipino heirs to the last sultan of the remote Philippine region of Sulu were awarded US$14.9 billion by a Paris arbitration court in a long-running dispute with Malaysia over a colonial-era land deal.
enjoyed my long walk in Baguio, tiring because of the steep roads but very walkable (a rarity among Ph urban areas).
moments like this make me want to have a proper camera. in real life, the wall is a deeper red, which pops nicely against the gray raw concrete, something i was not able to capture.
grateful to Andrea C for bringing us to the citys cool spots.
“Larry Gadon, a lawyer suspended by the Supreme Court (SC) for his verbal assault on a journalist, has been appointed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. as Presidential Adviser for Poverty Alleviation, said the Palace on Monday.”
“If #voting mattered, right-wingers wouldn't do voter suppression.” Yeah, I'll admit it: voting matters—but only to the extent it provides cover and legitimacy to the current order, whether liberal or genocidal. Where voting actually doesn't matter is in actually getting shit done.
Oh you voted in #Biden? The concentration camps stay open, the police state is expanded, and the trans genocide will continue unabated. There's your vote—it mattered fuck all.
In the #Philippines, voting does matter—in giving legitimacy to murderers and fascists like Duterte and Marcos. Oh you voted for Leody/Leni? Your vote doesn't matter at all because under a first-past-the-post system, voting for losers means you aren't represented at all.
Voting matters in all the wrong causes. Voting doesn't matter one bit in all the causes that matter. The significance of the individual ballot is the sophistry of liberal ideology. And that's pretty much it.
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
"#MANILA, #Philippines — #Mayon had registered 102 volcanic earthquakes from 5 a.m., June 25, to 5 a.m., June 26, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (#Phivolcs) reported Monday.
