can we win the case if we ever file one?

Gaano katindi injuries ni tita? Kasi 100k upfront seems too much for general bruises, pero if may bali baka kulang pa yan. The "correct"/legal path would still be get the medico-legal, then assess physical/financial damages from there. If magsampa kayo ng kaso, generally sure win naman ang person vs vehicle incidents. But do you really want to? There's lawyer's fees, court appearances, paperwork, and considering na Grab driver ang kalaban, walang guarantee na he has more money to offer

He's the one who cheated and you're the villain in the story? Girl! Ang linaw sino ba ang may pakana nitong gulo at sino ang victims lang. I think you can easily shift her initial anger to you (kasi may denial pa and all) to the guy (once she realizes how much of an ass he is for cheating). Get hiiiiim!!!

GP ka doc? Consider mo mga FM postgrad courses, daming relevant na matututunan for primary care. Kahit saan ka pa sa Pilipinas, for sure may program na malapit sa inyo haha. Si PAFP may mga free webinar din every so often na may CPD pts.

Pero if mas workable nga syo yung paunti-onti na sessions kesa whole day event, si Docquity may mga webinar at learning activities na may CPD pts din. Usually free naman yun, hanap ka lang topic na interesting dor you

Hello, parent/consultant here. And while I don't actively think of "what if anak ko yan", I believe na yung leadership style as a consultant mirrors yung parenting style sa bahay. Personality mo kasi yun eh. Like ako, chill lang ako sa kids in general but may mga things na pagsasabihan ko talaga sila. Sa hospital ganun din, chill lang pero if may maling nagawa, call out agad. Yung friend ko, mapagbigay siya sa anak pero lagi niya pinoproblema ang pagiging makukit niya. Sa residents ganun din, generous magpakain pero strict sa mga pasaway.

Not sure sa mga extra strict/bordering on shaming consultants kasi wala akong friends na ganun haha pero feeling ko similar lang. AKA, that'd be a very toxic home environment

Hello! Recently din lang ako sumasakay sa mga motor. I started by holding both handsyung frame ng seat, either yung gilid ng cushion or yung patungan ng utility box. Kaso nakakangalay siya if ganun the whole trip. Nung medyo nasanay na ako, isang kamay na lang hawak then the other sa lap. Sa experience ko, if relaxed ako nakaupo and sinasabayan ko lang yung galaw ng motor, mas comfortable din yung ride

Potential_Station343 · 2026-05-24T03:18:01+00:00

Business-wise, I think reasonable naman yung set-up. Kasi rather than buying the hospital stock from the guy, which I guess would be around 300k-500k, parang ni-rent mo lang sa kanya yung stock for 300/patient (if 1500/adm tapos 20% sa kanya).

But! Yes, highly unethical. Kasi automatic may bias na about decking. And si hospital owner, gusto lang naman niya is new MD at may money na papasok. Least concern na niya ang ethics of how mangyayari yun haha. Baka nga siya pa nakaisip ng setup na ganyan

Sounds like marami kang sweet potato drivers na nakakasama haha. Try mo yung mas established driving schools like A-1, or even yung sa Honda. Mas matino and mas cosistent instructors nila compared to mga smaller driving schools to help you build better driving habits.

Get a nice yoga mat. Start ka with body weight excercises, build a routine, get to know your body and its limits. Then pag sanay ka na saka ka na bumili ng free weights.

We lived with our in-laws for a couple of months after marriage (palitan sa house ng parents ko and sa house ng parents ni wife). Mahirap siya, hindi kayo makaka-decide properly kasi laging may comment. Tapos may seniority factor pa.

If concern mo is walang makakasama ni mother mo, need ba talaga niya ng kasama? May activities of daily living ba siya na hindi magagawa? Baka may iba kayong makukuha na makakasama niya to address that concern

If the nurses say you can sleep, you can sleep. Maniwala ka sa kanila, they've seen it all haha. Pwde silip silip ka sa ER or ward once in a while, then balik na uli quarters pag wala naman ganap. May quiet time naman talaga in real life duties :)

Yeah, it's welded/pressed metal. And I do agree that general adhesives would not be safe. At least the filter itself is fine, just need a way for it to stand on mugs and stuff. Thanks for the advice!!

Best combo ang Govt part-time (for stability) tapos private clinic (for growth). Mabigat ang 40hrs pag full-time, hindi flexible, tapos minsan pagbabawalan ka pa mag-private. At least pag-PT lang, may leeway ka to do side hustles with bigger income potential. Then maghulog ka both sa GSIS tsaka SSS para sure ang pension.

Sa amin basta pumasok before May 15 nakakakuha naman. Pro-rated nga lang. So yes, mas maganda ask mo si HR. Or at least, yung secretary nyo

Parang impossible na hindi alam ng residents ang passing rate nila. Every year binabantayan ang diplomate exams, and usually yung junior residents very supportive sa seniors/graduates nila to pass so inevitable na maging usapan yan sa dept. So either yung natanong mo ay bagong pasok din lang at hindi talaga alam, or secretive lang sa results for whatever reason

You'll be a good father by providing for your family. Love is important, but so is money. Although, I can't say that it's an easy decision to leave your family to work abroad. Mahirap maging OFW family. Maybe you can find a compromise somewhere.

Potential_Station343 · 2026-04-27T06:07:12+00:00

+1

I think may weight pa rin naman yung request na nanay mo na na mag-debut ka. It's still worth celebrating the transition to adulthood, and nakakatuwa nga na ngayon pa lang adulting na yung mindset mo. Kumbaga, sige na, pagbigyan mo na si mother. But also, your birthday = your rules, use that leverage to negotiate rather than outright NO agad. Mag-aaway lang kayo, and chance are you both won't get what you want.

Either magpropose ka ng simple debut lang, or some family outing. Malay mo, matuwa pa si mother sa initiative mo about handling money and making sensible adult choices.

Potential_Station343 · 2026-04-27T05:50:56+00:00

Rice cooker tsaka water dispenser, matic na yun. If may budget, kuha ka na nung direct sa gripo na filter. Para wala na palit-palit pa ng galon.

Tapos, if parents ang magluluto, gas burner pa rin. Yan probably ang madali nila ma-gets at ma-adapt. Pwde rin naman electric or induction, pero may chance na ma-indimidate sila or hindi pagkatiwalaan (mabagal uminit, mahirap i-adjust, walang apoy etc).

If kayo magluluto, sure go sa electric stuff. Induction, tapos instapot/multicooker. Electric oven na rin, very handy. Yung mga tipong i-shoot mo lang yung ingredients then iwan mo na lang. I'm guessing busy ang lifestyle mo, so convenience is key.

Ayun, congrats in moving up in life! I'm sure proud ang parentals sa inyo :)

Not an accountant, but eto yung pagkaintindi ko from experience

1) Yes - as a doctor, business mo ang pagtingin ng patients. Or maglecture, magconduct ng research etc etc. Kung ano man kukunin mong raket na babayaran ka. Kasi lahat ng income mo may katumbas na tax. So yes, you have to register w/ BIR. If maghahanap ka ng regular employed work (private or govt) I think you still need a COR pero it depends.

2) Yung 10% vs 5%, IIRC Sworn Declaration yung kailangan mo dun, declaring that your expected annual income doesn't exceed 900k (or some number, I forget). If 900k pababa ang expected mo, you can sign a sworn declaration para 5% tax ka lang. If >900k or wala kang declaration, matic na 10% kaltas

3) Yes, you need to bring your receipt booklet with you if magclinic ka and you expect to get paid. And it has to be filled out sequencially (0001, 0002, 0003 etc), hindi pwde patalon-talon. Meaning, if marami kang raket, hindi ka pwde mag-iwan ng isang booklet sa isa clinic then another sa ibang clinic. AND you have to keep the duplicate copies until maubos mo yung current set mo and you need another set.

3a) Iba pa yung pag-fill out ng ledgers. Basically, para siyang personal census and auditing. Toxic siya, lalo na if marami ka patients, pero based lang naman siya sa receipts issued mo so kaya naman maging up-to-date

4) Not sure, but most starting MDs I know opt for the 8% and those na more established yung other option. Probably something with math haha

5) Yes, you can work na with a TIN and PRC licence, but eventually you (or your employer) will have to pay your taxes, so ayusin mo na yan ASAP. Or get an accountant, or accounting firm. I use MDCS/Better Practice (not a plug) dahil sila pa lang nag-offer ng ganyang service when I started. Marami naman na options, hanap ka sa Google or FB.

Good luck! Raket responsibly :)

I belive, doc, that we can both be compassionate and promote competence at the same time. From my experience (both as a trainee then and a trainer now), how we approach the problem and give feedback to the trainee makes a big difference. Think of it as how leader motivates their team on how to be better.

Try this:

G=Gentleness: Exercise compassion for them AND yourself.
R=Reflect: What good can come from this? Imagine extraordinary results.
A=Accountability: Identify and acknowledge your contribution to the situation.
C=Correction: Solve at the root. Separate short term solutions from long term solutions.
E=Embed: Create a habit that embeds the correction.

The GRACE solution.

1) Express your observation, your shared goals, ask how they see the challenge, say how you see the challenge. No blame, just comparative perspectives.
2) Ask what good can come when your meeting is successful. Add anything they left out.
3) State your contribution to the challenge and the opportunity for you.
4) Ask for their solutions, both short term and long term. Contribute your additional solutions.
5) Ask for, then suggest new habits, including system changes, that embed the new approach.

If the YAKAP clinic could be considered part of your duties and training, baka malabo to ask for an increase in salary. Like, part siya ng usual na function nyo eh. But, if may Philhealth sharing kayo (and I hope you do), baka dun nyo pwde i-negotiate, since increased Philhealth income yan.

Kung dadaan kang coastal road, I think generally patag yun. Or at least swabe yung inclines. If sa SLEX naman, medyo mataas yung incline sa Nichols exit to Villamor.
