42 Upvotes

In the past few days, we’ve noticed a surge of REPETITIVE, low-effort text and meme posts—often RANTS or personal thoughts without enough context for a meaningful discussion, as well as claims or exposĂ©s without proof or sources. To keep the sub clean, we’ll start removing these threads. If you’d like to make similar posts, feel free to please use the Random Discussion Threads instead. Remember, Reddit rules and Reddiquette still apply there.
 
We’ve also seen a large number of crossposts from other subreddits, which have been removed. These are usually spammy, rage-bait content often intended for karma farming.
 
ICYMI other changes and policies to keep in mind:

ARESTADO ang isang 18-anyos na estudyante matapos ireklamo ng umano'y panggagahasa sa isang edad 19 na kapwa estudyante sa Cebu City.

Ayon sa pulisya, nagkakilala ang dalawa sa isang dating app at nagkasundong magkita noong Oktubre 19.

Dinala umano ng suspek ang biktima sa isang pribadong paradahan sa Brgy. Kamagayan, kung saan naganap ang sinasabing panghahalay.

Itinanggi ng suspek ang alegasyon at iginiit na may pahintulot ng biktima ang nangyari.

Nananatiling nakakulong ang suspek habang inihahanda ang reklamong rape laban sa kanya. | BULGAR

ViralPH Naglabas naman ng Mental Health card after pagtawanan ang isang PWD

Post image
311 Upvotes

Tito P of the Machong Chismisan podcast skipped the invitation of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) earlier this week and cited his mental health concerns. The invitation coming from the NBI was due to the now-deleted episode where he mocked Josh Aquino and compared him to his younger brother, Bimby Aquino, while the rest of the hosts seemed to be laughing at the comment. 

The episode drew backlash from netizens and called out the hosts for the inappropriate comments made against Josh.

Daniel Vivar was the first to arrive at the NBI while Tito P sent a letter through his legal team that explained why he couldn’t go–– citing his mental health as the reason. 1PWD Party-list’s John Daniel Castro, who filed a complaint against the hosts and the producers of the podcast, maintained that they will have to verify the official diagnosis of Tito P.

“We have to verify kung talagang diagnosed si sir–– si Tito P–– ng sinasabi niyang bipolar and ADHD kasi wala naman attachment yung letter so we’ll have to see din
 It will never be an excuse–– hindi natin hahayaan na gamitin din yung kapansanan para makalusot sila sa ginawa nila sa may mga kapansanan,” he said.

Meanwhile, NBI Director Melvin Matibag asserted that even though the hosts may opt not to go to their headquarters for questioning, they will still investigate the situation at hand and use their podcast as the basis of the complaint.  

“Kung hindi man sila dumating, ang pag babasihan natin dito ay yung kanilang mismong podcast at tsaka yung nangyari. Malinaw sa batas sa ilalim ng Magna Carta for Persons with Disability Republic Act 7277 na ito’y inamendahan ng Republic 9442, ipinagbabawal ang pampublikong pangungutsa at paninirang puri laban sa taong may kapansanan at may kaakibat itong multa at pagkakakulong,” the NBI Director claimed. 

Previously, Tito P released a statement that he is also neurodivergent and that he has learned from his actions. Machong Chismisan also uploaded a public apology and assured everyone that they will be accountable for what transpired. 

“As someone with ADHD, impulse control can make filtering thoughts difficult. An edgy joke might pop into my head, and before my executive functioning can evaluate the social risk, it has already been said aloud.  I share this not to excuse my behavior, but to provide context,” Tito P previously shared

NaturePH Calm Before the Storm Update: Itbayat Batanes Oct 22, 2026 Morning

582 Upvotes

Right now Itbayat has experienced high winds but no rain downpour. The super typhoon Champi is still approaching. It is expected to be near by nightfall.

The beauty and force of Nature can be clearly displayed when we visited this port Balanga of Itbayat batanes. The wave is so big and produced approximately 4 storey wave crash onto the port twice. The waves are so big and the sea is already restless with the approaching typhoon. The wind in the port is so strong it can really push a person away. And the seabreeze can be tasted at within the mist produced.

This made me feel small as a person. We are quite ants in the face of mother nature. Let us pray for safety of the people. The storm had listed a bit far which we are thankful for. Thanks to God.

Nananawagan ako. Kung may extra ₱180 kayo, please watch 2 Valid IDs sa pinakamalapit na sinehan. Minsan, ₱180 lang ang halaga ng isang ticket, pero baka ito ang maging simula para mamulat tayo sa katotohanang matagal nang pilit itinatago sa atin. Kung kaya tayong gisingin ng pelikulang ito mula sa pagiging manhid sa bulok na sistema, then I hope we choose to watch, reflect, and question. Hindi tayo dapat maging bulag na PRO-DDS, PRO-BBM, o PRO-LENI. Hindi personality ang dapat nating ipinaglalaban, kundi principles, accountability, at katotohanan. Because at the end of the day, hindi pangalan ng politiko ang dapat nating unahin. We should be PRO-PILIPINAS, PRO-PILIPINO, at PRO-KATOTOHANAN.

GovtServicesPH Dapat higpitan ang verification ng PWD IDs, lalo na sa mga walang valid medical basis!

Post image
162 Upvotes

SKL, inis lang ako kasi may na-encounter akong dalawang tao na nagpagawa ng PWD ID kahit may questionable o walang sapat na medical claims para maging eligible sila. Ang mas concerning pa, may kamag-anak silang empleyado kaya parang naging mas madali para sa kanila na makapagpagawa ng ID.

Dito ako napapaisip. Paano kung totoong issued ng LGU ang PWD ID, pero hindi naman dumaan sa tamang assessment o walang sapat na medical documentation para suportahan ang disability claim? Technically, totoong ID siya dahil galing sa kinauukulan, pero paano naman ang legitimacy ng claim sa likod nito?

Hindi ba dapat mas mahigpit ang verification process, regardless kung may kakilala o kamag-anak sa loob? Hindi dapat nagiging shortcut ang personal connections para makakuha ng benefits na para talaga sa mga taong qualified.

Linawin ko lang, hindi lahat ng disability ay visible, at hindi rin natin puwedeng husgahan ang isang tao base lang sa itsura niya. Ang point ko ay dapat may tamang medical assessment at dokumentasyon, hindi dahil may koneksyon ka sa empleyado ay mas madali ka nang makakakuha ng PWD ID.

Nakakalungkot lang isipin na habang may mga totoong PWD na nahihirapang mag-asikaso ng requirements nila, may mga pagkakataong posibleng nagagamit ang personal connections para malusutan ang proseso.

Ano sa tingin ninyo ang dapat gawin para maiwasan ang ganitong sistema nang hindi napapahirapan ang mga legit PWD?

PoliticsPH Heidi Mendoza, pasok na sa Top 12 ng senatorial surveys! Kasabay nito, umaarangkada na an fake news at black propaganda laban sa kanya mula sa mga tulad ni Darryl Yap.

Thumbnail

254 Upvotes

Darryl Yap, kung totoo mang 143 ang IQ mo, bakit hirap kang paghiwalayin ang tatlong magkaibang legal proceeding? Ang taas ng confidence, ang baba ng evidentiary standards. O talagang paninindigan mo na lang ang pagiging fake news peddler mo?

Una, HINDI “NAPATUNAYANG WALANG KASALANAN” SI CORONA MATAPOS MAMATAY. Noong 2016, ibinasura ng Sandiganbayan ang kanyang mga kasong perjury at paglabag sa RA 6713 dahil sa kanyang pagkamatay, hindi dahil sa acquittal on the merits. Walang criminal conviction, pero wala ring judicial finding of innocence. Basic criminal procedure pa lang, mali ka na.

Ikalawa, HINDI NABURA ANG IMPEACHMENT CONVICTION NI CORONA. Noong Mayo 29, 2012, bumoto ang Senado ng 20–3 upang hatulan siyang guilty sa Article II ng impeachment complaint dahil sa hindi ganap na pagdedeklara ng kanyang assets sa SALN. Tinanggal siya sa puwesto bilang Chief Justice. Impeachment conviction iyon, hindi criminal conviction. Magkaiba ang constitutional accountability at criminal liability.

AT ITO ANG PINAKAMAHIRAP MONG TAKASAN, DARRYL: SI CORONA MISMO ANG UMAMIN.

Noong Mayo 25, 2012, sa mismong Senate impeachment trial, kinilala ni Corona na mayroon siyang US$2.4 MILLION sa apat na dollar accounts at humigit-kumulang ₱80.7 MILLION sa tatlong peso accounts na hindi niya idineklara sa SALN.

Hindi ito imbento ni Heidi Mendoza. Hindi ito tsismis ng mga kritiko ni Corona. Mismong taong ipinagtatanggol mo ang umamin sa pagkakaroon ng mga depositong hindi nakasaad sa kanyang SALN.

Ang depensa niya? Naniniwala siyang hindi kailangang ideklara ang dollar deposits dahil sa Foreign Currency Deposit Act, samantalang ang peso deposits ay may halong pera ng kanyang pamilya. Pero hindi tinanggap ng mayorya ng Senado ang mga paliwanag na iyon.

Linawin natin: Hindi pag-amin sa pagnanakaw ang pag-amin sa hindi pagdedeklara ng deposito. Pero ang mismong pag-amin niya ang naging mahalagang batayan ng impeachment conviction.

Ikatlo, ang ibinasura ng Sandiganbayan noong 2022 ay HIWALAY NA CIVIL FORFEITURE CASE tungkol sa umano'y unexplained wealth. Tinanggap ng korte ang ebidensya ng pamilya Corona na mayroon silang sapat na pinagkukunan ng pondo upang maipaliwanag ang mga kuwestiyonadong ari-arian.

Pero basahin mong mabuti: KINILALA RIN NG SANDIGANBAYAN NA MAY MGA ASSET NA HINDI NAIDEKLARA SA SALN. Ang hindi napatunayan sa civil forfeiture case ay ang pagiging unexplained wealth ng mga iyon.

Ibig sabihin, puwedeng may lehitimong pinagmulan ang pera ngunit hindi pa rin ito wastong naideklara sa SALN. Magkaibang legal na tanong iyon. At ang desisyon noong 2022 ay hindi nagbaligtad sa impeachment verdict noong 2012.

Hindi lahat ng dismissal ay acquittal. Hindi lahat ng acquittal ay exoneration sa lahat ng posibleng pananagutan. At hindi lahat ng legal na pera ay awtomatikong wastong naideklara.

Ikaapat, tungkol kay Heidi Mendoza: Bilang COA commissioner, nagpaliwanag siya ng pagsusuri sa mga transaksyong nakapaloob sa AMLC records. Ang malalaking halagang binanggit sa mga transaksyon ay cumulative inflows at outflows, hindi awtomatikong aktuwal na perang hawak ni Corona sa isang pagkakataon.

HINDI SI HEIDI ANG GUMAWA NG AMLC RECORDS. At noong Hunyo 2012, kinumpirma mismo ng AMLC executive director na tunay na nagmula sa kanilang ahensya ang report na ibinigay sa Ombudsman.

Kung sinasabi mong nag-perjury si Heidi, aling eksaktong pahayag niya sa ilalim ng panunumpa ang sinadya niyang pasinungalingan? Ano ang ebidensya? Nasaan ang judicial finding na nagpatunay ng paratang mo?

Hindi sapat ang malakas na boses para maging ebidensya. Hindi rin napapalitan ng mura ang burden of proof.

At ang pinakainteresante? SI JINGGOY ESTRADA, NA HAYAGAN MONG SINUPORTAHAN, AY ISA SA 20 SENADOR NA BUMOTONG GUILTY KAY CORONA.

Oo, Darryl. Kasama si Jinggoy sa mga humatol kay Corona. At sa sarili niyang paliwanag pagkatapos ng impeachment, binanggit din niya ang hindi pagdedeklara ni Corona ng kanyang assets sa SALN.

Bakit si Heidi lang ang pinupuntirya mo? Bakit hindi mo rin kuwestiyunin ang senador na personal na bumoto para sa conviction? Selective outrage ba ang bagong legal doctrine?

Kaya bago mo kuwestiyunin ang konsensya ni Heidi, siguraduhin mong tama muna ang ipinapakalat mong impormasyon.

Ang malayang pagpapahayag ay hindi exemption sa factual accountability. At hindi nagiging historical fact ang maling interpretasyon dahil lang sinabi nang may pagmumura, kumpiyansa, at diumano'y 143 IQ.

May testimonya si Corona. May opisyal na impeachment verdict. May hiwalay na criminal dismissals. May hiwalay na civil forfeiture judgment. Lahat may kani-kaniyang legal na kahulugan.

Hindi mo puwedeng paghalu-haluin ang mga iyon para gumawa ng kuwentong mas pabor sa propaganda mo.

143 IQ raw, pero tatlong legal proceeding, hindi mapaghiwalay.

Darryl, ang problema sa argumento mo ay hindi kakulangan ng tapang magsalita. Kakulangan ng katumpakan.

BAGO MAGDIREK NG KASAYSAYAN, MATUTONG MAGBASA NG DESISYON.

I guess light rant lang about sa attitude ng ibang pilipino pagdating sa local destinations. Ang weird lang makabasa like ito example, may nagpost ng pic ng occidental mindoro tapos may mga magkocomment na parang ibang bansa sa ganda or parang patagonia. Kahit din nung may nakita akong post sa zambales, parang new zealand or new zealand of the philippines daw like ??? . I tried testing din na magsearch sa youtube if may something similar na ganung treatment, and ayun may nagpakita na "santorini in zambales" . Siguro for promotion na lang

idk parang ang interesting lang makabasa na may mga pinoy minsan na hindi makapaniwala na may magagandang lugar sa pilipinas.

baka rin kasi i travel a lot na lately locally kaya iba na rin sa pagappreciate ng mga lugar dito (and thankful ako na may kakayahan na ako)

NewsPH The Philippine Air Force participated in an international meeting with Korea Aerospace Industries and other K-Defense companies. Discussion focused on performance upgrades of the FA-50s and expanding exports to the Philippines.

75 Upvotes

đŸ‡°đŸ‡·đŸ‡”đŸ‡­ | The Philippine Air Force participated in an international meeting with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), Hanwha Aerospace and LIG D&A in Sacheon Gyeongsangnam-do, from October 21 to 23. Korea Aerospace Industries presented "FA-50 Sniper Targeting Pod Integration", a best-practice example of performance upgrades to FA-50 aircraft of the ROKAF and member countries like the Philippines (the additional 12 new FA-50 Block-70 fighter jets and FA-50 Systems Upgrade for the existing FA-50s), with proposal to expand exports to the Philippines.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and the Republic of Korea Air Force announced on October 22 that they held plenary meetings of the Korean Aircraft International Technical Cooperation Group (K-TCG) and the Safety Management Group (SMG) in Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, from October 21 to 23.

The international meetings of the K-TCG and SMG, organized by the Air Force with support from KAI, are regarded as helping to develop cooperation between the Air Force and countries operating Korean aircraft, strengthen confidence in those aircraft, and expand exports.

That day, the Philippines alongside other participants visited the Sacheon Airshow venue and watched test flights of Korean aircraft, (likely the KF-21s, T-50s and the FA-50s during the airshow: https://youtu.be/Qm9-WeygcxU?si=ieIqhV6TXG4nDXBL). On October 23, they are also scheduled to share outstanding issues and discuss them in separate meetings by country and aircraft type.

The meeting were joined by about 24 overseas participants from six countries that operate Korean aircraft: Indonesia, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Thailand, and TĂŒrkiye.

KAI also presented on "Ways to Use Aircraft RAM-C Analysis," which can help continuously improve the reliability of increasingly advanced modern weapon systems and reduce operating and maintenance costs through total life-cycle management.

Song Ho-cheol, KAI executive vice president and head of the Production Operations Division, said, "This meeting is a valuable opportunity to share operational experience, improvement cases, and challenges with countries that operate Korean aircraft. By presenting performance upgrade cases and strengthening cooperation, we can improve confidence in Korean aircraft and create opportunities to expand export markets in the future."

NewsPH 7.2% inflation and corruption makes me want to spend more....

24 Upvotes

Is it just me or the economy is so bad right now na gusto ko na lang gumastos nang gumastos? Our government is so corrupt to the core, I just know that the value of my saved money will be less in the future. Look at fast food now, before, I have never ordered the most expensive option regardless if I crave it because I kept thinking of just puting it in savings. Now, I just keep spending the hell out of my money, thinking it's now-or-never.

I know I should just invest it on whatever but at what point in my life I could actually reap the fruits of my labor when everything now is so uncertain, especially with the AI thing replacing us. The price of owning a home is now more impossible than ever, and that's the only thing I have ever wanted -- it feels pointless to even save.

When I buy something, I can feel and consume the tangible value of my money. I get to own my money, in the present. I know that I should look it into the perspective that I am stealing from my future self, but the inflation is already stealing it from me -- why not spend it now? Hayst... idk what I am saying, I am just so tired of working and trying to figure life, while some government officials and nepo babies are unaffected by inflation.
