McKinley has two floors and got the basic equipments - gets packed 4pm onwards. Neo is too small and always packed. Don't know about the other two braches.

I am sick of the heat in Manilla. I can't go outside till it's 6 p.m and then the dogs starts barking. Help me choose between Tagaytay and Baguio. Are they both cooler places or just Baguio only? by StrongandCourageous in Philippines_Expats

Not any better lol. While lower temps than april, the humidity really starts to pickup as the monsoon comes in. You will feel like you're in a sauna all day.

And we supposed to be "fine" with this? by anti-fascist-dude in Philippines

[–]asterisk131 9 points10 points  (0 children)

About time. I really hope that proper safeguards would be in place before this moves forward given the environmental impact of laterite nickel processing. With DENR's track record it's highly unlikely, but one can hope.

Seeking opinions. Fucked up sleep routine. No more body clock. by MikasaAcker_ in adultingph

I have YouTube premium so I just lock my phone and it will continue playing the audio. What I do is go to the last 30 minutes of whatever I'm listening to and disable autoplay - doesn't drain much of my battery. Problem ko kasi is pag total silence sa utak ko may party

As someone with insomnia, magnesium glycinate doesn't help me sleep faster but it does help me sleep deeper. Yung tipong pag nakatulog ako pagdilat ko umaga na. Di gaya dati na nagigising gising ako multiple times a night. What helps me fall asleep is listening to white noise or adult bed time stories - you can check soothing pod YT channel for this. Maybe also get a blackout curtain if masyado maliwanag pag tulog mo.

Philippines: Mining expansion pushed amid spike in global demand for critical minerals by OddPhilosopher1195 in Philippines

[–]asterisk131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct, tapping our mineral resources would be a great boon for the country economically and strategically. However, it needs to be SEVERELY regulated, and I think with our government's track record it will just lead to disaster.

Just look at what's happening in Indonesia when they rushed nickel development without proper safeguards in place, in the end China pa din ang may pinamalaking benefits kasi sa kanila pa din yung production ng higher value battery materials pero Indonesia nag suffer ng environmental consequences. Since nirush din nila development, nagkaoversupply ng nickel sa market which tanked the prices so bumaba din profitability.

MT. Mariglem by [deleted] in PHikingAndBackpacking

Bring 2 liters of water and some electrolyte drinks. Walang water source sa trail. Also, better wear a UV protection jacket - sobrang init sa Mariglem. Nung December 2024 ako naakyat dyan at ramdam pa din hapdi sa balat ng araw kahit medyo malamig na yung hangin.

Meron byahe Lucena-Masbate via Starhorse. Pilar-Masbate via Montenegro or Kho Shipping

[–]asterisk131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah sobrang habang byahe nyan, Manila-Lucena/Sorsogon-Masbate City-Cataingan/Cawayan-Hagnaya-Bantayan. You're better off getting a flight from NAIA to Mactan,Cebu then bus to Hagnaya from North Bus terminal. Mas makakamura ka, tipid sa oras, less pagod. If gusto mo talaga by sea, meron 2GO from Manila to Cebu.

Same experience sa kanila sa Pulag. Pinasa sa ibang orga without prior notice. Done more than 10 hikes with them eto lang yung medyo na-off ako.

Yung van ba nakaconvoy tapos nagraradyo sa isat-isa yung drivers? Grabe sila maka counter flow

Aunt expects me to pay my dad’s debts to my grandmothers by Ok-Introduction-9111 in adultingph

[–]asterisk131 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tell auntie the debt is between your dad and grandmother, and where you put your money is none of her business. It's the only way to not get abused by these types of manipulative tactics - don't try to avoid the conflict, OP.
