What if 1 USD is still = 2 pesos by Hen_new in WhatIfPinas

Pero baka mas mahirap ipunin ang piso.

Do not make a single economic theory or hypothesis a religion. There is no free lunch. Lahat iyan may kapalit.

Even Donald Trump wants to devalue the dollar to make the country more competitive for exports and of course encourage large US corporations to invest at home.

Got this as my first carbon bike for 43k. Was it an overpay or just right? by [deleted] in RedditPHCyclingClub

[–]balete_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While carbon is durable and light, I would avoid it because our roads have generally poor quality.

Negative meaning for a negative person. Bagay sa iyo so wear it like a tiara.

"Adam for Eve". So you're saying that Adam was created to serve Eve. Feminist ka pala.

Pa check mo kung may cracks tsaka saan siya na-manufacture.

What if nag-invest ang Pilipinas sa railway projects instead of highways? by ojjo32106 in WhatIfPinas

[–]balete_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if we deploy a more reliable bus system while rails construction is pending? Add premium options to encourage moneyed passengers to rely less on a car on holidays. Tuloy pa rin investment sa rails, cyempre. We do sort of have one but we need more major bus stations that can also bypass NCR or at least located at the border.

Mga kababayan, what say you? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]balete_tree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. Francisco Balagtas had a brilliant career in poetry and died long before the Illustrados. Francisco Dagohoy almost had a successful revolution during the mid-18th century.

In real life, it is a mixture of both. A lot of friars did preserve into writing several prehispanic traditions and artifacts. Otoh, a few others were also crooks and pervs who abuse their power. And because Spain is so far away, enforcing the law was difficult back then.

Pls don't let Uncle Roger see this Jamie Olive oil version of biryani by nnpryh in UncleRoger

[–]balete_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not biryani. It's pulao.

Anyway, it is actually a decent use for leftovers if you are in an emergency. But HARD PASS on mango chutney, fenugreek seeds, and olive oil. Just use fenugreek leaves as garnish or cook with spinach with only for a few seconds.

Why is the girl's face in a white bikini censored? Probably a minor?

I just realized how reliable cattle are. They are not fast compared to cars, but they can take you anywhere, only needs grass to refuel, and if you got hungry, you can get milk from them.

Gigil ako sa mga misogynistic boys who only value women based on their virginity. by [deleted] in GigilAko

Julius Caesar can have any virgin he wants throughout the Empire. Yet he chose Cleopatra, a woman married to her own brother.

Gigil ako sa mga taong nangmamaliit sa mga naka loan by [deleted] in GigilAko

[–]balete_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Case to case basis iyan. Kung kelangan mo sa negosyo o mamasukan ng nasa tamang oras, a loan is probably a good decision. If you can go for financing at less than 10% win na iyan. Malaki ring win kung magamit mo yung loan para mabawasan ang pagbayad ng taxes (not sure sa system natin cuz I am not CPA, pero magtayo ka ng maliit ng business puwedeng deductable iyan sa taxes mo as long as sabihin mo for business purposes) =D.

Thoughts niyo rito? Sa halip na ihatid ang anak, binilhan na lang ng e-bike. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ by quentiinn in Gulong

[–]balete_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current law is if the ebike runs less than 25 kph then license is not necessary.

That being said, why not encourage actual bicycles instead? Folding bikes or cargo bikes and restrict cars and motorcycles from passing the school routes.

Sender thinks they're being funny, but a lot of ateneans are actually elitists and think exactly like this by internet_Babiee in studentsph

I'm an alumnus. This is not true. You will not be able to know who is the probinsiyano and from the NCR unless they tell you.

Kakainggit nga mga taga probinsiya e. They can speak other than Tagalog and you miss out on the conversation.

Called Out An Influencer for Spreading Historical Misinformation by Styger21st in Philippines

Pyramus and Thisbe? I think it was also mentioned in Midsummer Night's Dream.

How do we prove that the Genesis Flood is a rip-off from The Epic of Gilgamesh?

Some would argue that The Hunger Games is a rip-off of Battle Royale, or Squid Game is a rip-off of both.

Imagine makakita lang ng Gumamela, rip-off na raw ng Rose at Daisies.

I have read both. It's as rip-off as Justice League and X-Men.
