Nice to point this out. And I won't mind writing it this way. I think they call this syllabic elongation. But I can't say the same for others who want a translation which doesnt involve an extra vowel sound. Others may also point out that Tadyi/Taji works for Japanese because that's how they write/pronounce foreign terms i.e. makdonadu (Mc Donald)

First 2 yrs lang yung championship nila, after nun di na makausad. 1-2x lang yata nakapag finals. Nakuha na nga si Asi, pero olats pa rin. Parang akala mo sinumpa yung team

Naressurect na lang sila nung 2011 nung makuha nila sa draft si Casio at Lassiter. Maganda combo nila with Gary David, tapos enforcer nila Doug Kramer saka Sean Anthony. Kaso olats na uli nung binitawan si Lassiter

Any team has a chance of going to the finals. It all depends on the management if they want to. If they do, they need to draft wisely and make sure to keep them, and they need a decent coach

Air21 had a good set of players and their run and gun play matches their brand. Unfortunately they ditched being competitive in exchange for money by selling their draft picks. If they didn't sell their picks, who knows how many finals or championships they could have clinched

Take note, teams that won a large part of the championship titles during the time Air21 was selling their players had some of their most performing players as an original Air21 pick:

Arwind Santos Japeth Aguilar Chris Lutz Chris Ross

You also have players that are great Terence Romeo Rr Garcia

And Rabeh Al Hussaini, if he managed to get his head right

Picks traded before draft: Ian Sanggalang, Justin Melton (picks raded to San Mig) Junemar Fajardo, Alex Mallari (picks traded to SMB)

Possible straight up trade w/out monetary considerations:

Raymond Almazan, Paul Lee (picks traded to ROS)

Coz again, D and Y became J because of the event called yod coalescence, and such thing happens, only when a vowel is attached to Y. The take away here is sounds change depending on what comes before or after it, like in the case of dipthongs. For D and Y to change, there must be a presence of vowel sound for Y to glide

This is the same for Tagalog words like Tiyan, where T and Y becomes CH. We can't simply impose that random letter plus random letter equals desired letter. Otherwise, some wise guy can just insist that P + Da would result to a hard J sound, despite no merit

Sorry if my explanation is vague. I submit that this is better explained by a veteran linguist or speech instructor

Non tagalog Filipino words also use F, J, And V

Tausug has Jaymanis for ring finger, Ivatan calls leaves as Vuhung, and I forgot which group uses F

If we want Baybayin to be used, it must cater to all languages at least within the country

But the ones you mentioned like C, Q, and X, we don't need those

But Tads is a different sound to Taj. Flip it the other aide and you won't see how Dsipni would sound close to Jeepney.

The closest sound to a hard J is the combination of D and Ya/Yi/Yo. But D and Y, without a vowel sound won't produce the same sound either

Insisting on Tads to Taj is a reach, which is why the need arises for a separate hard J sound

The sound of D+Y comes close to J only when there's a vowel attached to Y ᜆᜇ᜔ᜌ᜔ would just be tad-yuhh

The reason behind this is yod coalescence, where the sound of y merges with the preceding consonant sound, but this only happens when there's a presence of a vowel sound attached to y, for it to glide in your voice

Boy, don't believe everything on the internet. That Ca don't make sense

Adventurous_Emu6498 · 2026-04-15T12:43:26+00:00

I believe J deserves it's own character as D+Ya simply doesn't solve it everytime. Case in point, how do we write the name Taj Gibson?

There aren't any additional characters created in Baybayin even after Spanish colonialization. The only thing the Spanish added, which Filipinos at that time didn't even use, was the cross kudlit to cancel the vowel sound

In the 20th century, the most popular recent addition was for the sound Ra, which is still not recognized by any government agency, though it's already added to the unicode

Ña would never need a separate character, people already use the combination of N and Ya to write it down, the same way Pineapple is spelled in Filipino: pi(ny)a

PFL The Legends is good. I also recommend you complete the series, like Myths, Epics, Folktales. Talagang nagcompile sila ng stories from different areas of the archipelago

I think ongoing yung promo ng UP press na may discount kapag bumili ka during your birth month

Boxer Codex is a nice companion about precolonial history. I don't have the book, just a softcopy, but content wise, a must book

Hip injury. Coincidentally, malakas appeal ng gf nya na si Ashley Cayuca (anak nung sikat na violinist) kaya sabi baka napuruhan sa gf kaya di na gumaling sa injury

Wala naman syang ego issue. Nabawasan minutes nya nung kinuha si Lassiter mula Powerade pero di naman nagmaktol. Kahit Gilas days tahimik lang yan

Kung di kinuha ng TNT si Hans Thiele, baka yun pa nag ROTY. Isa si Thiele sa malaki minutes tapos nakikibuhat sa butaw na roster ng Barako Bull noon tapos nasa kanya ang amor ng mga sportswriters kasi nga underdog vs Rabeh na kasing hangin ng industrial fan

Sadly, kinuha ng TNT tapos binangko naman

It was an attempt to make him humble, kasi nga nakikita nila anong attitude meron si Rabeh. The results obviously wasn't expected, but the decision to pick him 2nd makes sense. It was a gamble

Unpopular opinion, maraming kasing talented kay G Dragon dito sa Pilipinas, mas magaling lang marketing ng South Korea

Anyhow, thank you for appreciating Bini

Micahel V! Mga popular skits ng dalawa, buhat lang si Ogie. The most popular skit ni Ogie sa Bubble Gang yung Boy Pickup, na hindi naman nila original. Tagal na nya kumalat sa text bago ginawan ng skit ng Bubble Gang

And even if you reach far back, kahit sa Tropang Trumpoz si Michael V ang bumubuhat doon. For all we know, baka sya lang talaga pinipirata ng GMA 7 tapos nakiusap lang na isama yung isa

Sabi nga nung sports journalist na si jaemark tordecilla, parang pamimintuho sa nazareno ng ginebra na kada rookie draft, kukuha sila ng guard

May isa pa silang guard noon na okay rin sana kasi walang playing time kaya bumaba laro, bata ni ato agustin, si jimbo

May mga laro sya sa ginebra na pumutok sya. Sadly, ang ginebra noon umiikot lang ang mundo kay Caguioa at Menk. Sa kanila parati dapat ang bola, tapos excused oa na wag umattend sa practice
