With a little over a month to go before the end of the extended deadline, the largest mobile telco, Smart, reports they've registered 70.92% of their subscribers, while Globe reports 52.61% registration of their users. No info for Philippines's third telco, Dito.
Asking for a friend. May relative sila na kumuha ng at least 500 pesos and nahuli sa cctv, nag reklamo sila sa police and hindi daw sila na entertain kase small theft lang daw. Ano pwede gawin?...
The #Philippines, like South #Korea, have a law that “exempts a family who commit theft, swindling and malicious mischief from criminal liability exists”.
This is probably what the police meant. Though, should have been still liable for civil.
Or, maybe, there is an IRR that states anything under a certain amount + it falls under this exemption, is indeed not qualified even if only for civil.
I think, the idea behind it is to encourage it being solved within the family instead of the family unit being destroyed because family members and relatives are filing cases against each other.
Again, IANAL and TINLA.
Tell your “friend” that their best course of action is to consult with an attorney.
My friend Iris showed us a photo of a strange kind of chicharon (crackling) that wasn't made of pork skins. It's called kibet chicharon, made from chitons, a kind of mollusk. More about it here: #Philippines#Food
Juan Luna's long-lost painting "Hymen, Oh Hyménée" has resurfaced after over 130 years, and has been loaned to the Ayala Museum for exhibition by present owner, Filipino Jaime Ponce de Leon. The painting, considered the holy grail of Philippine art, is considered somewhat more significant than Luna's other major award-winning...
The #redditblackout has moved to a new stage... from a two day blackout to indefinitely shutting down... to people moving away entirely.
Yes, r/startrek has lifted off from #reddit and moved to #lemmy -- and with it, a realization that we need an easy way to help people find their new, old communities that have moved from reddit to #lemmy#kbin and whatever else pops up.
I started a quick and dirty list that you can share and contribute to (PRs welcome!).
With confirmed affiliated or migrating communities popping up for subreddits with at million plus subscribers for topics like #csgo#3dprinting#mma#Philippines#piracy#gaming and #zerowaste -- all to the #fediverse, Reddit's recent actions seem to be producing huge interest in alternative platforms!
See the linked post to find the #reddit communities migrating elsewhere.
Today in Labor History June 15, 1913: U.S. troops finally ended the Moro Uprising (1899-1913) in the Philippines, with the extermination of 500 men, women and children. The Moros (Muslims of Mindinao, Jolo and Sulu) had refused to submit to American colonization after resisting the Spanish for 400 years. The rebellion was part of the Philippine-American War, which claimed over 4,000 U.S. lives, and as many as 250,000 Filipinos. After the Uprising of 1899-1913, More liberation groups continued to struggle against Japanese occupation, and against the Filipino government.
Earthquake was super strong here in our area (we're like only 100kms away from the epicenter). Estimated magnitude of 5.5 to 6.2. It also lasted a long time. I was glad when it was over. Not sure if that means Taal Volcano is restive again. #Philippines#earthquake
Shoutout to the Android Earthquake Alert System. I got the alert on my phone a couple of seconds before I felt the earth shaking. Twitter is now just the second-best earthquake alert system. #Philippines
Are you guys from the /r/philippines subreddit and trying to find a new home? Or, you just want to start a new #Philippines community in the #fediverse network?
So, keeping @philippines is perfectly fine, you don't really have to move. The more communities we have in other instances, the better. Redundancy and continuity.
It means that, if one community hosted in a different instance goes offline (temporarily or permanently), the other Philippines communities in other instances are still intact. Those affected can move to the other existing communities. It happened before (an instance went offline, temporarily) and it almost happened again (permanently).
However, if you are the /r/philippines subreddit, since you have an existing community you are migrating over to the fediverse, then yes, choose the instance you want to be hosted on. One where you can get a guarantee that they will do everything they can to stay online for the next 20 years. Otherwise, you risk breaking the community if the instance suddenly goes offline.
Just great, first the super typhoon and now this 😔 And that is NOT a "slight increase".

This vs Kbin?
It's still early so I think migrations are still possible. So any evaluation regarding this (Lemmy) and Kbin? It looks like both are similar.
