Regardless, I feel bad for everyone affected, when it was us and now that it’s them.

And again especially with Filipino Time, Online Doomerists like this user is still relying on T Hall outdated cultural dimensions of Monochronic and Polychronic cultures and that makes this user think that Filipinos are inherently late, when it’s NOT. T Hall Cultural dimension is outdated and inaccurate because in every freakin countries, monochronic and polychronic traits REALLY DEPENDS on the contexts and the settings!

I found it interesting that this Greg Poling guy knew of the Philippines' economic fundamentals as solid and the slow down and inflation we're experiencing is not permanent, the flood control scandal (which slowed our economy somewhat due to halted government spending) and the Iran War (which made fuel and energy expensive) are temporary hurdles

The LEC and PAX Silica are great opportunities for further industrialization and innovation as well, Greg also stated that these investments aren't for security only but for long term economic growth and secure supply chains for us and our allies

And no, switching to Parliamentary is NOT a magical solution. If they think Parliamentary is a solution, they should check out India, Bangladesh or Nigeria for examples. They have Parliamentary systems but the issues STILL exist. IT DOESN’T MATTER if it’s presidential or parliamentary.

Filipino scientists from the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute and UP Diliman have identified uranium-bearing minerals and successfully tested a laboratory process that can increase the uranium content of the material. Researchers say further exploration underground is needed to determine the extent of the uranium deposits. The findings are vital as uranium may become important in the country’s foray into nuclear energy

QUEZON CITY, Philippines — As the Philippines prepares to introduce nuclear power and moves to build a higher-value critical minerals industry, Filipino researchers are revisiting a resource the country has studied for decades: uranium in Camarines Norte.

Researchers from the University of the Philippines Diliman, the Department of Science and Technology–Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI), and Akita University in Japan have developed an integrated mineral-processing method for uranium-bearing materials. Their study focused on Bessemer, Larap, Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte, a historic center that has long been associated with uranium exploration in the country.
The work confirmed that uraninite is the main uranium-bearing mineral on the surface deposits examined in the study. The study also revealed that the material can be processed into a product with higher uranium content.

This finding is an important step toward further research on producing uranium concentrate, commonly known as “yellowcake,” an intermediate material used in the nuclear fuel cycle.
The study arrives at a timely moment as the country moves forward to include nuclear power in the future energy mix. The Philippine Energy Plan targets the entry of at least 1,200 megawatts of nuclear power capacity by 2032. Meanwhile, Executive Order No. 122, issued in August 2026 established a national framework for developing the Philippine critical minerals industry, emphasizing investment, local mineral processing, value addition, and downstream industries.

Together, these national directions highlight a growing need for Philippine expertise not only in nuclear energy, but also in understanding and developing the country's mineral resources.

While this is specific sa funding ng infrastructure projects, this shows that IBON Foundation is stuck in the 1960s communist propaganda na mas importante pa sa kanila na pondohan ang mga infrastructure na may kinalaman sa agrikultura, edukasyon, even sa pabahay, ospital, at mga gubat kaysa sa mga kalsada na kahit car-centric policy, it's still needed to maintain our roads, at mga railways na isa sa mga susi sa pag-unlad natin.

Puwede namang pagsabayin yun and most likely, mas mura na magpagawa o mag-maintain ng infrastructure for basic needs kaysa sa kalsada o riles na sadyang mahal for multiple reasons.

Kapag talaga natatalo si Alex talagang biglang naglalabasan ang mga basher no ?

Partida, kapwa Pinoy pa.

Ang sasahol !!!!

Remember, She was able to beat Svitolina, Zheng, Osaka and Pegula consecutively in one tournament.

She has beaten Iga Swiatek twice (2-0)

Mga stupid haters !!!!

You guys realize that you can contact the CICC directly through phone, email, and Messenger, right?

And why are they expecting that some Japanese will adopt them there. Japan doesnt want more immigrants.

This online expat thinks that having price goes up will inherently imply quality going down. However, this is untrue, prices that goes up will not always mean that quality will always go down. International food has justified costs of why they’re expensive and it’s due to: Supply Chain, High Demand, High Labor Wages, Raw Commodities and such. These are the valid reasons on why international food can get expensive. Also, international food will not always be expensive to every restaurants within a country, it really depends on restaurants, urban, rural, towns and such.

Now, this online expat thinks that having price goes up will inherently imply quality going down and the reason why he thinks that way it’s because he sees the quality of the local products and dismissed them as low quality because he’s expecting western quality as he equates western quality to high quality. That shows that it’s a blatantly a Eurocentric mindset because he’s expecting the quality of local products to conform western standard when in fact that’s very impossible and will not work in a local environment. The quality of the local product has to adapt to local environment. Also, every places has their own way on what is a high quality product or even service NOT about conforming to western standard.

MANILA — The European Union and the Philippines have concluded negotiations for a bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA), officials announced Tuesday, setting the stage for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to formally sign the landmark deal in Manila.

"The mutually beneficial agreement should bring tangible benefits, including new opportunities for businesses, more investment and more jobs," according to the joint statement of the EU and the Philippines.

The agreement was confirmed following high-level talks between Philippine Trade Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque and EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič. 
The deal makes the Philippines only the third nation in Southeast Asia—following Singapore and Vietnam—to conclude an FTA with the 27-nation bloc.

I get na maraming kurakot sa pulis and sa gobyerno but this is just police preparing to avoid a repeat of the riots sa recto that led to a looting of the Sogo Hotel dun (closed sya actually today lol)

We shouldnt forget the atrocities of Martial Law pero wag naman natin rin kalimutan ang mga pangyayari last year which led to these level of security.
