Again, I must express my support, admiration and solidarity with the student protesters. For 28 days they have been calm, peaceful, steadfast and made their voices heard. VIU has chosen to vilify, threaten and accuse them of making others feel unsafe while VIU hires outside security contractors to surveil (including video) and make the Students feel unsafe and unwelcome in their own campus. Administration has still not had a dialogue.
The Students most recent statement.

@msquebanh
pro-Palestinian students is a misnomer
the correct designation should be:
"anti-genocide" students or protestors

@M_el_viejo Agreed. Anti-Genocide, Pro Peace, Anti-Apartheid are all suiting.

Glad that this article is out there now about the VIU encampment and the unjustified threats from administration.

Speak up folks. For the right to protest AND against genocidal governments and those that support them.

I'd just like to say I've been to enough protests of various topics that I have, in the past, seen anarchists, black block types, etc. I know what they look like.

I saw them before the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and another time in Vancouver at a Climate protest. In both cases they were a tiny TINY portion of the crowd and stuck out like a sore thumb and have never, in my experience, ever been acting in connection with the overall group. They are their own thing.

There has been nothing of that sort in any protest that I have seen in these protests. So any suggestion of such is, in my opinion, a pure fabrication and an incitement and dog whistle to Police to justify violence against the encampments.

“hinahanap-hanap” vs “hinahanap” The former means “longing”, the latter is “searching”. So, is longing or searching for ninja boy?

A very good thing in watching dubbed period from is their translations are not exaggerated. Period by local networks are often exaggerated, or use ancient words (or they invent new ones).

Happy to announce that you can now purchase my photo book ''Vancouver Island Marmot, The World's Rarest Marmot'' at the Vancouver Island University Campus store. Dr. Gorrell, a prof at VIU, has written in my book about his research on the Vancouver Island marmot and it is fascinating. He is part of the amazing team of experts involved in the VI marmot's recovery from extinction.

What I like with OTT -dubs is that they get out of their way to ensure the voice is close to the original actor's voice.

And if there are scenes wherein the character is reading an SMS, a letter, or document, they make sure there are subtitles.

Local dubbing are worst. Here's what they do:

  1. They will cut scenes.
  2. They will use any dubber.
  3. If the character is not LGBT, they'll change it to LGBT. If the character is LGBT, they won't dub it LGBT.
  4. They don't provide subtitles for scenes where there are no dialogues.
  5. Hundreds of TV commercials.
  6. A 60-minute episode in the original becomes a 20-minute episode spread to 3 to 5 days (with lots of cut scenes).

This is why, even though I've watched some of the series already in its original dub (Korean, Chinese, Japanese), I still watch the Tagalog dub of Viu OTT.

Note: Not a paid endorsement. I am simply satisfied with Viu's Tagalog dubs.
