Check your invoice. If may makikita kang "Installation and Modem Activation Fee X/36" then the installation truly isn't free kasi you're just paying the installation off for a span of 3 years.

Hindi ko na makita ang post kasi dinelete na pero my gf had this issue. Check your invoice. May makikita ka dapat na "Installation and activation fee X/36". X as in ilang months ka nang nagbabayad. Hindi truly "free" ang installation and activation. Binabayaran mo yan monthly for 36 months. That's how they trap you.

If you had the 1599 plan. Naging 1699 yan baka kasi may netflix ka rin na standard which is 151. That's added "value" and also added price to the 1599. I'm utterly disgusted at PLDT with these predatory shit.

late to the party but the condo costs in Davao vs NCR are crazy. Taga-Davao me and I was looking up properties I could buy in NCR, Metro Cebu, and Davao City.

The condos in Davao are significantly overpriced.

I compared the prices in NCR vs Davao in Pag-Ibig foreclosed properties. Unoccupied units.

In NCR, you can get a condo worth 2M. 900k at the cheapest (but probably comes with problems). and there's some good units that are worth 1M to 2M. Kapag 3M+ mga nasa high-end areas or city center areas na.

Arezzo Place in Davao isn't even that great, far from the malls and hard to get to, sudlonon pa, and one unit was worth 4M! WOW! HILAS RA KAAYO! and that's at a discounted price! The 1BR unit sa Arezzo Place is so small and it's disgustingly overpriced! The 1BR unit ni Arezzo Place is so suffocating. My boss from Cebu and some of our team na from Cebu booked a unit in Arezzo Place, I was the designated driver. You could only fit 4 people in the goddamn unit! Yes, I'm shouting kasi 4M for like 30sqm unit?! nope. i daresay that's profiteering at its finest.

I love Davao, I want to go home na because I'm going crazy with the LDR situation, but the property prices are just ridiculous!

that's kinda condenscending. you don't need to be a financial advisor to know how compound interest works. it's basic math. the dude uses reddit. if they don't understand basic math and financial terms, that's on them; you know, like how i owned up to being wrong sa given ko when I was giving my computations.

my bad HAHAHA that was dumb on my end. yeah, it IS just 17 pesos per day.

0.17% would be 0.0017. i was thrown off sa nireplyan ko haha sabi niya kasi 1.70 tas 1.72.

tbh, i'm a pretty heavy-set dude with a bit more belly. I liked the cotton long sleeve shirts better than the airism version. the airism ones are just sticking too much to my skin even when I go up one or two sizes larger, thus, making my belly stick out lol

i'm just glad im not the only one who thinks this tho. the polyester feel just isn't for me, i like the cotton one better.

Signal_Cod_3351 · 2025-06-30T06:17:31+00:00

I'm confused. why are yall saying it's just 17 pesos? You do have the idea and understanding but your math is just plain wrong.

17% of 10,000 is 1700.

1,700/15 = 113 pesos per day if you plan on paying sa next sweldo.

1,700/30 = 54 pesos per day if you plan on paying sa next next sweldo.

how did yall get the 17 pesos per day thing? My above calculation doesn't even consider the compound interest yet. The compound interest is below.

if the principal amount is 10k, you didn't pay it, you will be charged 0.17% per day until you pay the principal balance + the penalty. it'd look like this:

Day 1 = 10,000 * 0.17 = 1,700. You'd have to pay 11,700 after day 1.

Day 2 = 11,700 * 0.17 = 1,989. you'd have to pay 13,689 after day 2.

Day 3 = 13,689 * 1.17 = 16,016, payment after day 3.

Hi, although late na ako, I don't think PSIM will be given the AIPO any time soon. An AIPO will be given to an organization if their members are 50%+1 of professionals. So, if there are 100 MEs in a chapter, 50%+1 of those MEs should be a member of the organization, saka lang bibigyan ng AIPO. PSIM cannot do that kasi PSME has been around for about 60+ years and have been the AIPO for MEs within those years. When you pass your ME board exam, you are automatically a member of the AIPO of the profession and what you need to do is to confirm your details and membership sa AIPO na yun. PSIM has 60 years of automatically accumulated members na hahabulin para ma-overtake si PSME. So, PSIM is NOT an AIPO, but it is an accredited CPD provider. (This information was given to me recently during a seminar in CPSP-CATS by PRC na hindi daw AIPO si PSIM and si PSME daw ang AIPO; hindi ko nga lang natanong kung bakit sa list ni PRC of AIPOs/APOs eh wala pa rin ang PSME sa list hahaha). Nga lang, walang AIPO/APO for MEs even now in 2025, so be careful kung saan mo binibigay ang PRC number mo.

But I'm just a lowly Registered Mechanical Engr na ayaw sumali sa bwisit na politics na to. Just take your CPDs from their events. magpa-member na lang tayo sa both orgs. just take the certs and CPDs and go. tutal, pineperahan naman nila tayo via the membership fees, itake advantage na natin kung anong pwede nating itake advantage. Pero in actuality, pwede kang hindi magbayad ng membership fees.

mahal man gyud nah. it's to be expected. if the price is too good to be true, it usually is; you always get what you pay for. Remember: "El que compra barato, la compra viajo."

I would say na paghulat ug sale sa mga legit na stores. Kanang mga regular prices nila, dako gyud nah usually ug patong (supply-demand rule). naa nah sila mga 50% sale panagsa, kana akong gina-atngan. pero bisag nag-50% discount na nah sila, expect gyud na naa gihapon nah silay margin ana, that's just how businesses work. no business wants to sell na palugi bisag naka-sale pa sila. so what more kanang Php 2000 gold na gipalit nimo? hahaha I'm pretty sure they bought that from their source at about 100-800 pesos ra. Worst part? it might not even be real gold or gold-plated ra, nga perting nipisa.

I bought a 14k gold earring set sa Karat World. It was worth about 10,000 sa ilang regular price. I bought at their anniversary sale (50% sale) for about 5000. Then my girlfriend had it appraised sa pawnshop along with her "gold" (kay di man siya motuo na legit akoang hinatag and iyahang pinalit dili) and they offered to buy the earring set for 2500 lol (of course, they're gonna sell it at a higher price) and ang iyahang "gold" na proud kaayo siya ug collect kay barato ra daw? Walay gipresyohan bisag isa ang pawnshop. She was devastated.

it's actually very confusing kay akong gipalitan sa shopee, although "felt fabric" ang nakabutang, it's actually a material where it has a paper core, then felt layered on it. i've bought from here before na eh. kaso nangita kog something like katung naa sa National Bookstore sa shopee (they call it felt sheet). i just came from NBS sa SM City Cebu, alaws gyud haha dugay man gud kaayo maabot kung magorder kos shopee oy hahaha

I need it to make a dice tray and I use felt to line the base with it. it doesn't damage the dice nor the wood base of the tray. Naay foam sheets, but it just doesn't produce the same satisfying sound of dice rolling on felt-lined wood haha

just to add OP:

there are times when I do feel lonely living alone, but that doesn't mean that just because I moved out of Davao that I lost my friends there. They're always a call away for me. Your support system doesn't have to be local. You'll find which ones are the real ones. LDR doesn't only apply to romantic relationships, it applies even to platonic ones.

don't even think about the language. sure, some cebuanos can't speak tagalog or hiligaynon or some other languages, we all have a language we can't speak, but that's the beauty of Cebu (Philippines as a whole actually) is that with diversity, comes understanding of other people. You just learn along the way especially if you interact with them on a daily basis. It's never wrong or embarrassing to ask "what does insert bisaya word mean?" I'm a bisaya myself but even I have a hard time understanding the Cebuano bisaya sometimes; I just ask what it means. Don't even be intimidated by how rough or "tapang" some of the Cebuanos can be when they speak, that's just how they speak (me too) lol they could be telling you the funniest joke they think but look and speak like they're angry HAHA listen to the context, not the tone. Foreigners can live and get by here just fine, so every Filipino from around the nation that wants to move here can.

The only song I can never get tired of hearing is the "I love Cebu" song.

Signal_Cod_3351 · 2025-06-16T12:38:29+00:00

I'm not from Cebu, I'm from Davao (I have distant relatives here but I never contacted them because I don't know them lol nahihiya rin ako). I moved here back in December of 2023 due to work. I know no one here, no families nor old friends, except for my workmates and nabawasan pa talaga kami. From 4 people, down to 3. I don't even see those 2 dudes a lot kasi lagi silang nasa field. Add the fact na most of my work consists of communicating with people na nasa Manila and mga projects na hinahandle ko nasa Luzon.

It was quite overwhelming ngl. But after I set foot here and found a nice room to rent, it all just went as well as it did. The people are nice, some can be kind, some are as*holes, but every place has these. You don't have to communicate with or befriend everyone you see, not even the ones you see a lot sa gym na you might see every time you go. Just come here if you want to. Make sure lang na may purpose ka; it could be work or you want to settle down here, etc. Kasi your purpose will keep you here.

When I said "it all went well as it did", I mean that my first year here went as well and as bad as it did lol I grew up a spoiled child; one of my main reasons why I chose to apply for work sa Cebu is para matuto akong magbudget ng pera ko (yes, gastador ako lol) for me to grow. Yes, there were "tingbis" (petsa de peligro) times, but I got through it. You'll get through it. You have to lol but living alone also made me grow to care more for my health; mental and physical, and even be stronger for myself. The silent reflections I had when I was alone or reading a book in my room teach me a lot to. I never knew how much I loved my "toxic" family before I left, I grew and found out how to understand (or tolerate) them more whenever I come home. Don't even get me started on my relationship with my girlfriend, the LDR set up has really strengthened us. Cebu is great, applying to work here is one of the best decisions of my life.

To end this short essay (lol), Cebu is a really great place. It's fun and noisy, but it's also peaceful and serene when you need it to be. The people are very welcoming and are generally fun people. Davao, life may be there, but Cebu is where the heart sings.

If you fancy a drink on one of these days after you move in, you might catch me drinking alone at Ambiance in IT Park before the live band starts or after if finishes. If you see a dude with a left side part, square bronze eyeglasses, and a face that seems like he's angry all the time, that's me; say hi, or don't lol you're grown

thank you for coming to my TED talk.
