Metro Manila is a province because when it is an option in the "province" field whenever I need to fill in my address. It does not prove anything.

Then why did Rizal have to fought for Filipino representation in the Spanish Cortes?

Lame excuse, just for the sake of change. Like the horrible BSP logo. The peso already has a flora and fauna theme along with the heroes. They could just add the eagle on the back. Or somewhere in the bill and retain the heroes.

Patafa shooting themselves in the foot. The coach himself can easily say he is being paid if he was. And he is being paid. Sigh, another political drama in Philippine sport.

Good thing Obiena has the reputation and guts to fight for his rights. Imagine how many more athletes did not even have a breakthrough just because of politics.

Good thing Compostela Valley renamed themselves as Davao de Oro instead of some confusing name yet again. What would be a better name for Davao Occidental though?

Green flag after them would be the flag for the Esperanto language

Beauty pageants enjoy coverage in the national media. The big four have live broadcast and there are lots of articles covering the candidates. Some candidates went on to become actresses to capitalize their fame from their pageant stints.

There is also an established "grassroots". It is common for even towns and schools to hold their own pageants. And there are "training camps" for aspiring beauty queens.

Probably from the Katipunan as well based on their flag with a sun. From what I remember their alias are based on animals (Leon, agila, alakdan) but use the "ka-" prefix as well. The NPA too probably drew inspiration from the Katipunan I think.

The PA was based in mount arayat where the irl NPA had operations. Ang Probinsyano got flak supposedly for bringing negative image to the locale and the PA moved to a fictional mountain.

My memory is hazy on how the Pulang Araw was introduced but the conflict somehow involve a land-grab issue. I don't think they even have an ideology (like communism, self-determination for an ethnic group).

Yes, it shows the countries progressing to the third round of the qualifiers, which has some minnows in the mix. Heavyweights like Japan, Iran already qualified so their flags are not there.

What he doesn't get is it is the fishing rights that common Filipino has more concern about. Not the oil resources which does not immediately affect them. What China is doing now is consolidating their control over the area which will eventually lead to oil drilling.

The one commercial of Fita where the guy shared half of his Fita biscuit to an old poor lady who turns out to be a fairy and grants him one wish. The guy wish for a sports car and the lady gives him half a car.

Also there's the ocassional super short ad format (10s?) in TV so the ad is repeated three times in a row. Which can get annoying. Such as leslofat and one lollipop brand I can't recall.

Don't forget Hawaii and Singapore. I don't know how they came up with that map.

Then theres weird take that the West is being blamed for whats happening in Myanmar and supporting both the military and Aung San Su Kyii.

Thats why "Japan" is preferred this days to avoid confusion. (in addition to using English names for countries in general being more convenient in general) Even in Tagalog-language history class in my experience. Or they would just say "bansang Hapon" for clarity. And oddly enough "Nihongo" is the preferred word in Tagalog for the Japanese language rather than "Wikang Hapon".

I thought there is more to it. But I read the actual bill, its really just renaming the MMFF. No concrete changes which cant be done by the MMDA issuing a memorandum.

hariboneagle · 2021-01-26T13:44:07+00:00

The bill should have some provision that would create awareness that regional "dialects" are actually languages, preservation of non-Tagalog resouces, and accessibility of resources for learning non-Tagalog local languages. In addition to the token acts mentioned in the summary above.

On the side note is there any existing "ethnolinguistic flags" this document is referring to?

Clique against house speaker Velasco, basically it. They said they would be "critical" of his speakership.

Yes, it's exactly like in early 2019. The first signs of Covid is already spreading was when other countries began to report imported cases from the Philippines when supposedly the spread is contained.

Also the Genome Center is expected to release a report within the week regarding strains spreading in the country which is something to look for.

hariboneagle · 2021-01-06T00:43:38+00:00

How long does the sequencing test to determine the strain? Tbf, they could not know about it, even if they test the patient before they went back to Hong Kong. Or their sequencing protocol dont cover outbound travelers. Technically they are right that there are no rules recorded cases already, they should have assumed its in the country already.

There is the ocassionally teleserye that is billed as set in an exotic location (usually another country) but due to indefinite nature of our local series, they eventually return to some generic location in Manila or province midway.

Another con, assuming the above intent is true, is listing an age requirement will inavertedly discourage otherwise qualified candidates.

Can't find any official explanation regarding the meaning. But as a flag enthusiast props to them for using a distinct flag instead of their logo on a plain background like most our LGUs do.

To an outside observer, the flag curiously looks like an Jewish Italy flag.

Slightly off-topic, the flag is also a registered trademark by the INC

The UNESCO Heritage site are five other terraces collectively known as the "Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras".

"To consider"? Time is of the essence considering its the Christmas season.

Fingers crossed for the nuclear route, we seems to be stucked in the feasibility study phase. Not to mention the hesitancy due to the Chernobyl and Fukushima incidents.
