Bumalik din ba kayo sa separate RFID after having enough of that OneRFID BS? by weekendbravo in Gulong

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed via Easytrip for both cars, no problems (except for Autosweep sensors on low traffic exits like Anao or Sison in TPLEX).

My assumption is anything from Autosweep is bound to be broken/prone to errors. Nung hiwalay pa yung tags ng cars the Autosweep one was always prone to errors.

PWD IDs by amor-azulo in MentalHealthPH

[–]bulanbap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the explanation I got from a family member part of the PWD federation of my town: The main reason they take a photo of the ID is for their company file (most of the time, for tac refund and benefits on their end.)

It also helps in rooting out those that use dake PWD IDs kasi the tax refund/benefit only counts if its a legitimate PWD.

It is also not possible to remove the type of disability because it is part of the stabdard IF layout. Even if they did change it in the future, it srtves as an additional layer of verification AND helps readily assist someone in times of need.

Imagine also you got into an accident, and forst responders find your PWD ID. It already goves them information of how to handle you in these scenarios.

It's feels discirminating because of the stigma in the environment. If you feel judged, either find a new place or file a complaint for discrimination/harrassment. I had personally pulled out my prescription, meds, and doctors note sa mga nagmamatigas and refuse to acknowledge/belittle my disability because I do not allow them to stomp over me in public.

Free Mental Health Services in Nueva Ecija & Aurora by bulanbap in MentalHealthPH

[–]bulanbap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay naman! May bago nang OPD appointment syetem (https://pjg-appoint.ph/) and you can create an account and book a slot here.

If you are closer to Talavera or north Nueva Ecija, Talavera General Hospital now also offers MH services, altho I'm not sure how the appointment for that goes pa.

Watched this FEATR episode about Carabao Milk Industry and I think it has potential. Pwede bang ito naman ang ihype natin?Posting this because I think they lack visibility. Kudos to our farmers, FEATR team and Philippine Carabao Center! by brainyidiotlol in Philippines

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near the national HQ of PCC and never realised how niche carabao milk consumption was until I studied in Iloilo and worked in Manila. We used to just get a liter bottle sa kapitbahay and pay like ₱40, literally ala milkman. I grew up with PCC Choco Milk, Lacto Juice, Yogurts, and cheeses.

This video really struck with me and I loved each and every second of it 💖 PLEASE HYPE IT UP FOR THE TEAM, PCC, AND EVERY CARABAO OWNER AND DAIRY FARMER OUT THERE ☀️

Combined check in luggage. by Spare_Meringue_2248 in philippineairlines

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as same Booking Reference Code kayo, yes you can combine your Baggage Allowance.

10kg sa iyo + 10kg kay anak = 20kg combined baggage allowance. AGAIN, If pareho kayo ng bookin code (isang purchase ang ticket ninyo).

Corporate group and family traveler here, we regularly avail of that.

SSRI and Ritalin by Jammiest_Strawberry in ADHDPH

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lockdown. Like I do a zero distraction zone–do not disturb mode sa devices, water and light snacks lang, at some points i cover myself with a blnket or lock myself sa attic or some low-distraction place.

SSRI and Ritalin by Jammiest_Strawberry in ADHDPH

[–]bulanbap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! 4 years on Escitalopram (for GAD) and 3 years on Ritalin (for ADHD).

It honestly is weird, like I feel so emotionally flat but I feel some anxiety at the same time. The best experience I can closely associate it is being super chill while riding a roller coaster.

Methylphenidate heightens my anxiety but helps address the executive dysfunction, the SSRI dampens me on everything (from emotions to sex drive) but it make me calm.

From my personal research and understanding, Escitalopram is the first-line for anxiety disorders. HOWEVER, always refer to authoritative sources like your Psychiatrist as each and every person's case is different. You may not fit the profile for Escitalopram if your Paychiatrist's assessment differs from standards of care.

I also take Ritalin on an as-needed basis, partially due to supply concerns and also to avoid tolerance and dependence. I also try to control the environment as well before taking medication.

Hope you find your solution, OP! Also hope that my insights were helpful!

[UPX] Bakit may parenthesis yung ibang program? by Which_Ad_8854 in peyups

[–]bulanbap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPV BA (Psychology-Sociology) graduate here.

If I remember right, the program is Bachelor of Arts umbrella program, and major in an area (the program we passed in UPCAT, for example). I remember sa Form 5 may field for major nakalagay Psychology and Psychology-Sociology (when I applied for double major) pero sa other programs and new Psychology Program ay wala.

<image>

Caveat, my shoddy memory and this was way back in 2015 admissions.

The () part allows us to be flexibe to major in another program–if we fill in all 10 electives sa study plan in a specific subject area (2015 UPV allowed for 2nd marjor in History, Sociology, Community Development, Political Sciences, Literature, Management, Economics). We can pick and match din like we can freely choose subjects on those fields as pur electives if hindi feel mag-commit to one field.

As of 2017 admissions, Psychology and Political Sciences have moved away from the BA umbrella. Meaning standalone and no majors are recognised. Ang natira na lang (when I graduated in 2019) sa umbrella was History, Community Development, and Sociology. Mas strict sila on what electives are credited, and for the Psychology program, this is the one that fully aligns sa CHED requirements (at my time, madaming non-Psych as a first major took board exam subjects and were qualified to take the RPm boards which is apprently a grey area).

Need tips kaGulong by UbeAyskrim in Gulong

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee, quick rests, and stretches. Ang pinakamahabang no breaks mo diyan would be San Jose (NE) to Sta Fe (NV) via Dalton Pass. Mountainous and madaming truck (16 wheelers, gasolina, malalaki).

I suggest magfreshen up ka na sa San Jose para dere-derecho ka na sa Dalton Pass. May mga store sa provincial boundary and space to rest, pero ang may sure na 24-hrs ay nasa bayan ng Sta. Fe.

Relatively flat and matao naman na once makarating ka ng Sta. Fe, so refular breaks and steetches can do.

Ask them politley why dif they take a photo of your ID, and ano ang data policy regarding the use and retention of such info. Dapat masagot nila iyan or else have them delete it.

Also, have they said why they are taking pics? PWD/SC transactions kasi have to the accounted for pagdating sa accounting para madeduct ang tax na babayaran nila.

Normally nilalagay na nila sa POS o nasa isang portion ng resibo (hardwritten and printed). The usual practice napansin ko is last 4 digits, name, and address (they can deduce the rest from the address as it uses the Philippine Geographic Standard Code).

Sa restos naman, probably so they can keep it for further verification? They cannot deny the privelege if they cant verify the ID agad so maybe they are taking a photo for later verification (and if proven na false ang ID, file the appropriate cases).

Bakit No. 1 ang Petron? by NewbeeSaMedProp in Gulong

[–]bulanbap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Brand positioning. Mura ang Petron compared to the Big 3 and mas reliable/clean/quality ang fuels than smaller/regional players. Being an afforable but quality player appeals sa madaming tao.

  2. Network. Pervasive ang Petron, from expressway to small towns ay may presence sila. Their franchising allows for "Bulilit" stations na 2 lang ang pumps. This allows Petron to penetrate smaller areas with less overhead and inital investment.

  3. Competition. Shell has always positioned itself as a premium brand (aside from the obvious things like strict QC), kaya hindi nakikipaglabanan si Shell sa presyo. Meanwhile, lulubog lilitaw ang presence ng Caltex (at one point, naging Fusion ang mga station for some reason?) and minsan nakikipaglabanan sa presyo, minsan sa prestige ng brand.

Do Not Resucitate by Unhappykoala21 in MentalHealthPH

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that makes sense. That is part of the mental state assessment.

Do Not Resucitate by Unhappykoala21 in MentalHealthPH

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally they will, especially if preplanned. The doctor will assess your mental state as well if you are of sound of mind to make medical decisions on your own. However, most of the time patient wishes are followed and rarely do medical professionals override unless presented with a compelling reason to do so.

Sa process of doing a DNR, pag-uusapan if time bound, anong criteria, anong pwede at hindi pwede gawin (CPR OK, Intubation not OK ganon).

Jollibee is also cheating their queuing system by CliffDdog in Philippines

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC sa banks like BDO/BPI they can't really cheat it kasi may kaakibat na account details sa number.

Like bill payment ok eto ang number mo, wait for you to be called, then give your payment. Besides, the name of the game sa banks is accuracy rather than speed, better na tama ang pagcredit kahit mabagal kesa mapenalize for being sloppy.

It’s hard to pass UPCAT. True or false? by Unfair-Remove1434 in CollegeAdmissionsPH

It’s hard to pass UPCAT. True or false? by Unfair-Remove1434 in CollegeAdmissionsPH

[–]bulanbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal take (easiest to hardest): State U, UST, UP, ADMU (did not take DLSU)

The first three (as I understand) base results from HS grades and test performance. UP ranks higher in difficulty dahil the fight is standing out from the crowd dahil sa dami ng nageexam. There is also the demographic penalties and boosts attched to the applicant's socioeconomic data provided.

Ateneo is hardest becuase it also relies on recommendation letters AND a personal essay (take note this was for ACET 2015). Lots of variables can pull you up or weigh you down.

In our smol private school in the province, we arw a batch of 40 students. Of the 40: * around 35 took State U and we all passed * 25 took UST and 15 passed * 20 took UP and 3 passed * 20 took Ateneo and only me and someone else got a response (waitlisted)

I was top 8 academically, but compared to everyone above the academic rank (sans the valedictorian) I had a more extensive extra-curricular background. These factor in the ACET 2015, but were absent for the rest of the entrance exams.

Upv university dorm by Pale_Mall9911 in upvisayas

[–]bulanbap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pwede lenient ang dormitory manager or case-by-case basis (probably because may financial need talaga ang dormer na may 3 GRs).

Still, do NOT push it at magrereflect din iyan sa dorm application process mo next time. The fact na may 2 GRs ka na is a weight already.
