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.

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? 😊

Hong Kong is losing its relevance in finance and business.

"At the height of the Zero-COVID madness in early 2022, tens of thousands of business and finance professionals left Hong Kong for more open cities, particularly Singapore."

"Despite Hong Kong's connections with China, the city's economic growth has lagged that of Singapore, which is now 70 richer than Hong Kong by GDP per capita."

What can 15 million Leni Robredo supporters do, if 31 million people love the former dictator's son Marcos Junior.

Gone are the days when politicians were achievers: bar exam topnotchers, oratorical spellbinders and eloquent writers. Now we have college dropouts, murderers, gun-totting misogynists, actors as presidents. We have not learned from history.

The PH government is dropping China loans for Japan loans to fund big infrastructure projects amid worsening disputes in the West Philippine Sea. JICA loans are cheaper than Chinese loans.

Why would you borrow money from a hostile state? It doesn't make sense.

People in the PH assume everyone is on Facebook.

Tell me about it. I can't even avail of physical therapy in a government hospital without making an appointment on Facebook, where I don't have an account. In the end, I ended up using someone else's FB account. Imagine not getting health care just because you don't have Facebook.
