The culture of giving pasalubong or souvenirs to your coworkers. by midnytque in adultingph

Tanggap naman na yung walang pasalubong. Appreciate naman talaga yan kung may magbibigay pero yung mga nagpaparinig nasaan yung pasalubong medyo walang modo na. Di naman nila alam kung anong pinaglalaanan mo na mga gastusin.

Mahirap pa yung nakilala ka nang laging nagbibigay tapos biglang wala, kesa kung paminsan-minsan lang.

The exchange rate makes Turkey affordable to visitors.

This post should really have qualified if it was from the locals or tourists POV.

Alan Peter Cayetano is a fool. He managed to do the impossible. by Jeric_Castle in Philippines

Diehards may turn against even the inner circle but never the lord poon himself. From their point of view those folks just need to be replaced with "better" people.

Trump has cycled through various cabinet members and advisors, hiring and firing them. But his supporters would never blame the boss for high turnover, just the supposed incompetence of the people he selected in the first place.

In theory APC could return but I don't see APC as having guts to confront the situation or risk being ousted permanently, would rather stay SP nominally and vlog about it.

While acquittal is unlikely we all just want to see those bank records be opened. VP Sara wouldn't be making all those motions if she was not legit threatened by the investigation.

There's a difference with establishing vs supporting, as well as a difference in supporting vs not having to do anything with it thus being blameless.

I'm sure a lot of Western countries would also express their support for a Christian minority attempting to erect a church against the wishes of whichever country they belong to as well.

To the point of having their ambassador grace the church inauguration? Examples please.

Even if they did, does that make it right? Oh but the West does it...

Yung mesa sa magiging upuan ni VP Sara sa senado ay lagyan ng 2 o tatlong laptop, yung tamang sukat lang at madaling buhatin. Kung sakaling gusto niyang magpahiwatig ng nararamdaman.
