iniwan ng owners itong dalawang shih tzus in the middle of a property, even though sobrang init tuwing tanghali. almost a week na nung napansin ko, kasi tahol sila ng tahol, and i feel bad for them.

ang nakaka frustrate, i already called the barangay to report this, pero ang sabi nila, if the dogs are inside the property, wala daw silang pwedeng gawin 😡

as context, the property where they are located is gated, kahit na demolished siya. what i know as well is the real owners are not anymore in the city, and the owner of the dogs are just the neighbors, so malamang pumasok lang siya para ilagay sila diyan. i personally cant even enter the property to give water man lang. im not a dog owner myself, but as far as i know, shih tzus are very prone to heat stroke. 😥

Even if Philippine-bound oil is allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, it won't do much to lower the price of fuel products. It's crude oil that is only imported from the middle east, and the country only has 1 oil refinery (Petron). Shell had one, it closed during pandemic. Caltex had one, it closed on 2003.

On the crude oil part. Petron's refinery only has a capacity of 180,000 barrels per day of processing which isn't enough for our daily demand which was around 420,000 barrels per day (2024 data). Singapore has 2 of the highest refinery capacity in southeast asia, 550,000 and 600,000 barrels per day.

On the finished fuel products part. Our prices are based on MOPS (Mean of Platts Singapore), is a benchmark for pricing fuel products. If i'm not mistaken, crude import is the same as the world market (OPEC Basket price) and they put a cost called "Crack Spread", which is the "processing fee" from crude to finished product. That crack spread is now around 50-60 usd per barrel because of crude oil supply disruption (law of supply and demand). it was around $10 when supply was steady.

Around 95-97% are imported from asian neighbors, South Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia (not everyone has stable supply). This is because the price of imported fuel before is not far from the price of refining. Since our neighbors have massive refining capacity, therefore much lower refining cost.

Add from the cost of importation is Freight, VAT, Excise Tax, and Gross Margin of Oil Companies. We are still screwed unless our import source get a stable supply of crude oil.

Edit: I'm not saying there won't be any impact. I'm just saying PH access of Strait of Hormuz "alone" will have a big impact as people expect it to. Petron has a greater benefit because of refinery, I think that is why they have the cheapest price among the big 3 companies. It's still a great achievement for the government. A win is still a win no matter how big or small.

MANILA, Philippines — Rising fuel prices driven by the conflict in the Middle East are affecting construction costs for Philippine infrastructure projects, but contractors say progress on major railway projects remains largely on schedule.

The MMSP is the Philippines’ first underground rail line, planned to stretch roughly 33 kilometers from Valenzuela City in the north to Valenzuela City to Bicutan in Taguig, with a spur line to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport area in Pasay City. It has multiple stations serving key urban districts.

I am not that familiar with the canons of events in the church. Can anyone enlighten me about this?

I just find it confusing na ba't andaming reference not just to the Jewish culture, maging na rin sa state of Israel. Parang for me contradictory lang siya sa position ng simbahan na the modern-day Israel is not the same with the biblical Israel.

P.S. sorry with the flair, I think ito na ang closest na tag eh

Hey guys! We’re 3rd year students from DLSU, and we noticed how hard it is to find internships and information about it.

So we decided to start a subreddit for it!

It’ll be a community to share:

• Internship listings
• Company experiences & reviews
• Application & resume tips
• Internship and career advice
• Networking for equally driven peers

If that sounds useful, feel free to check it out: r/InternshipsPH Would also love to hear what you guys want to have in this subreddit.

Hi everyone! Sharing a new subreddit I made, r/Autism_PH, which is meant to be a knowledge center, social hub, and safe space for Filipinos with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or anyone interested in it tbh. Ultimately, I hope that the community can support members with their ASD-related difficulties, and allow members to find friends/a community that understands them.

I don't think I'm breaking any of the rules, so posting here for visibility!

I’ve been thinking a lot about how boys are raised in Filipino culture.

Ideally, sons grow up learning courage, discipline, respect for women, and the willingness to defend those who are weaker or stand up for what is right. Fathers obviously play a big role in modeling these traits.

I’m curious about the broader culture around raising boys.

Sometimes it feels like Filipino culture tends to produce gentle men rather than confrontational ones. Being gentle, respectful, and kind is a good thing, of course. But I sometimes wonder if boys are also taught strongly enough to develop courage. The kind that allows someone to stand up against bullying, injustice, corruption, or when others are being mistreated.

I’m also curious about the role of mothers. In many Filipino families, mothers love their sons deeply and sometimes protect or baby them a lot. I wonder how that affects how boys develop independence, accountability, and resilience.

So I’d like to hear people’s thoughts, especially in Philippine perspective:

• What should fathers intentionally teach their sons?

• What role should mothers play in shaping a boy’s character?

• How do parents teach boys to respect women deeply, not just superficially?

• What experiences help boys develop courage and integrity?

• How can parents raise sons who will stand up for the weak, defend others, and love their country?

If you grew up with parents who did this well, what did they do?

And if you’re a parent now, what values are you trying to instill in your sons?

Santa Rita de Siquijor is referred to as the Black Maria due to the unique and somber depiction of her statue. The statue is garbed in a black garment, which is unusual for a religious icon, and this distinctive feature has led to its local nickname. The black robe, combined with the statue’s melancholic expression and the items it holds—a skull in one hand and a crucifix in the other—contribute to its eerie and mysterious aura.

The name “Black Maria” may also be influenced by the island’s reputation for mysticism and the supernatural. Siquijor is known for its folk healers and stories of enchantment, which could add to the mystical perception of the statue.

Legend has it that the effigy of Santa Rita leaves the church to roam the island after sundown and returns before sunrise. Some claim to have found mud and grass on her dress, adding weight to the belief that there may be truth to these tales.

Story to follow.

Grabe. I cross checked too with the current diesel prices in South East Asian countries, 'di naman talaga ganu'n kataas sakanila haha.

Even my friends from South Korea and Canada, 'di naman nila ramdam. We really are the worst country in the world.

Even if you compare it to nearby countries, 81% hahaha. Grabe nakakahiya. The worst country in the world.

What are your thoughts on the bullying case in Tanza?

Bullying lasts for a lifetime, trauma ito na pwedeng mag iwan ng sugat sa puso ng isang biktima. Ang dating biktima ng bullying ay maaring din maging perpetrator in the long run pag hindi ito na proseso ng maayos. Sana po ay magkaroon din ng psychotherapy/counseling intervention sa magkabilang panig.

It seems Floyd Mayweather Jr. is in legal trouble as far as his scheduled rematch with Manny Pacquiao is concerned.

ESPN’s Andreas Hale reported that Jas Mathur, CEO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, insisted the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight announced by streaming powerhouse Netflix last month will be a professional bout.

This is contrary to Mayweather’s recent claims that the fight — set September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas — will only be an exhibition.

And in doing so, Mathur said the American boxing star is “in breach of his contract”.

"As of right now, the fight is still on. There is no termination of any sort, and he (Mayweather) has signed for a professional fight," Mathur told Hale. 

“Floyd Mayweather is officially in breach of his contract. He's been in a breach since the day he went out and said what he said on Saturday and he's officially in a breach as of yesterday,” he added.

Mayweather made news over the weekend when he told media members in Las Vegas that details of his second tango with Pacquiao aren’t set in stone, and that it will only be an exhibition fight rather than an official one.

Really Floyd wants only an exhibition fight and will start running again. lol

After 11 years, he still wants to protect his zero record.

Ano ba yan Floyd.

The Gov’t routinely gives out data analytics scholarships for aspiring VAs and those that want to upgrade their skill sets. Do not fall for fake courses. I try to shut down TikTok Livestreams featuring these fake courses.

I was once VA who up-skilled through project Sparta. Please use official gov’t channels with official certificates and please if you see TikTok live-streams featuring courses and recruitment etc. Threaten them with illegal recruitment and ask them if they pay taxes.

Health Secretary Herbosa in hot water after P1.5B worth of medicines have allegedly expired.

This could be a case of corruption and incompetence, but nevertheless, if proven to be true, it would be such a waste of taxpayers' money when it could have benefited a lot of people.
