TIME Magazine noted PH President Marcos Jr. attempts to rehabilitate the name of Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and that his win in the elections was thanks to the "whitewashing" of his family's plunder of the country.
In the PH, hellish heat to continue through May. The country's weather agency warned that "temperatures could reach over 40 degrees Celsius in the coming weeks."
The most affected regions are Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Zamboanga peninsula, Soccsksargen, Cordillera Administrative Region and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
The PH military alarmed by the "more than 4,600 Chinese nationals have reportedly enrolled in a private university and rented homes in various locations in Tuguegarao [Northern Philippines]."
Who needs spies when you gladly welcome them as 'students'?
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 from 1953, was 9 when The Beatles and The Stones suddenly rocked the popular music-world.
The time of breaking free from old traditions. "Free Spirit ! " So, why do I hear so many from my generation expressing views that certainly do not match with the so-called '60's Spirit ?
I grew out of that period long time ago, starting to explore Classical West and further into Traditional Asian, Japan, Korea, Chinese: So much to find there !
The Search goes on, still learning :)
PH Congress orders arrest of religious leader for snubbing hearings.

If they want something to be done with it, the Philippine government should ban TikTok itself. Or, they can rally in front of TikTok's main regional office in BGC.
@jikodesu TikTok even banned the official account of #GehleeDangca just because she was getting a lot of followers and attention after she won in #UniverseTicket.
Gehlee's mother even started a campaign to get her daughter's account unbanned, and many TikTok users joined. But, nope, nothing happened. TikTok ignored them.
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.
