I still wear a mask to protect myself and other people, even if I hate them. Public health is more important than the inconvenience of wearing a mask.

Seeing dogs, especially puppies, makes me happy.

LGBT+ rights are human rights. We are all people

Grab PH should not be allowed to buy Foodpanda PH because that would create a virtual monopoly in online food delivery services. Grab PH already controls the 4-wheeled-vehicle ride hailing market when it bought Uber PH.

Filipinos have a strange custom of putting water around a bottle of peanut butter to keep the ants away. I wonder, do other Southeast Asians do this? 😊

Hey Filipinos, my mother needs to open a 2nd bank account. I'm choosing among Union Bank, Security Bank and BDO. Which should we pick?

I don't exercise.

I wash dishes. I clean the bathroom. I do laundry. I walk to the supermarket (1.2km one way) to shop.

I sometimes climb mountains. I play basketball. I walk inside the mall (I go the full distance and all floors) just to look around. I walk three kilometers to visit my sister.

I still get my exercise but I don't use the word "exercise" because it feels like work. I try to have a physically active life without thinking about exercise.

"Apple was secretly sharing data with law enforcement agencies and left a security backdoor [in iPhones] that may have been exploited by the Chinese government for political repression."

How to protect your privacy on iPhone

  1. Turn on "Advanced Data Protection"
  2. Turn off iCloud services for apps that don't need it like Mail and Calendar
  3. Turn off Location Services for apps that don't need it

I still can't understand why Asian-Americans vote Republican. Even if they are now US citizens or are born in the US, they will still be considered outsiders by many Americans, especially white ones. Plus, Republicans hate Asians and other people of color. Do these Asian-Americans think they're now white? It's like they want to suffer more. Puzzling.

More Filipinos are migrating. Nearly 49,000 Filipinos hold Canadian study permits in 2023, an increase of around 50% from 2022, when around 24,000 Filipinos had permits to study in Canada. "This makes the Philippines the 3rd largest foreign student population in Canada in 2023, second to China (102,000) and India (427,000)."

52% of Serious Vulnerabilities We Find are Related to Windows 10

"The high average numbers of 'Critical' and 'High' findings are largely influenced by assets running Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Windows Server operating systems."

Does this mean we should upgrade all our Windows 10 laptops to Windows 11?

InDrive to launch in Metro Manila this month. I hope it can compete with Grab, which has a monopoly of the 4-wheel ride hailing market in the PH.

We don't need another app to install.

When Grab PH bought motorcycle taxi app Move It, I thought I would become a 1st-time customer of that service. I use Grab, so it already has my info. I wouldn't need to sign up and type all my details. How convenient.

But Move It wasn't integrated into the Grab app. Instead, I would have to download a new app.

Bummer. One fewer customer for the company.

Mirroring China state propaganda, TikTok account posts lies on the West Philippine Sea. Filipino Redditor calls on others to mass-report the videos.

Good luck with that considering TikTok is a Chinese app.

After 1.5 years without an agriculture secretary, Marcos Junior finally appoints one. Francisco Laurel is president of 100-vessel-strong fishing company Frabelle Corporation and contributed PHP30 million to the election campaign of Marcos Junior.

What could go wrong?

As a non-techie Linux user, most of this xz vulnerability talk just goes over my head. Is there a news article in plain language somewhere I can read to understand this better? I just need to know 1) if there is a patch and on 2) which Flatpack update will it be included?

So, in PH TV, noontime show "Eat Bulaga," which used to be shown on GMA 7, has been broadcasting on TV 5 for several months. TIL, that GMA 7 will now air ABS-CBN-produced "It's Showtime!"

What a reversal of events 😳

BTS exhibit comes to Gateway Mall, Quezon City starting May 17.

One reason why the PH is more expensive as a travel destination than Thailand or Malaysia: the high value added tax.

Philippines – 12%
Indonesia – 11%
Cambodia – 10%
Vietnam – 10%
Singapore – 9% (goods and services tax)
Thailand – 7%
Laos – 7%
Malaysia – 6%
Myanmar – 5% (service tax)
Timor-Leste – 2.5% (import sales tax)

Song lyrics becoming basic and more repetitive, study finds.

"Lyrics have also become angrier and more self-obsessed over the last 40 years, reinforcing the opinions of cranky aging music fans everywhere."

I doubt the PH, the world's top importer of rice, will achieve rice self-sufficiency under a president who failed to deliver on his promise to bring down the price of rice to PhP20 per kg.

I'm curious. What smartphone do the US NSA and CIA people use? Do they use iPhones, Android phones or something else?
