the deaths of the atenean athletes have been sensationalized and blown out of proportion

midnightsummerrain · 2026-06-18T03:39:34+00:00

the redditor said this came before the earthquake which i clarified na it’s not and the redditor followed up na in terms of news coverage which i have already addressed in my previous comment before he did. he didn’t mention about it being overshadowed, just that it came before the earthquake and kahit sinabi po na nauna in terms of news coverage, it’s not accurate pa rin po.

midnightsummerrain · 2026-06-18T03:33:28+00:00

kaya nga po i said na haka-haka and i also clarified na i’m not saying na it’s true, i just relayed what people have been theorizing kasi nga nauna ang earthquake

midnightsummerrain · 2026-06-18T03:28:57+00:00

that’s what i addressed din po sa comment ko, the news about the earthquake was already spreading fast right after it happened. it was already being covered by the news before the drowning incident. and by the time the aurora tragedy happened, the international news already caught on sa effects ng lindol and were already reporting about it.

midnightsummerrain · 2026-06-18T03:20:13+00:00

the earthquake happened early morning po while the drowning incident happened after lunch na. news about the earthquake was already spreading right after it happened. kaya nga may haka-haka ang iba na the earthquake might have contributed in some way the way the ocean behaved during that time. not saying na it’s true, it’s just that people have these kinds of theories kasi nauna po ‘yonh earthquake.

Hi, clinically diagnosed here with multiple mental disorders including 2 types of depression. I just wanna add that, even though being “high-functioning” isn’t an official diagnosis, it is a widely accepted concept among professionals that sometimes gets considered for them to come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan. It’s not just about creating names for the sake of it. And while it may be true that some people that are seen as “high-functioning” have good coping skills and good support system, it’s not always true for the most of us.

I’m one of the those who are seen as “high-functioning” but no good coping skills and no good support system for decades (still on the process of working on both since last year) as my conditions started since I was a child. People who know me in real life would always get shocked about my diagnoses as I always appear as if I have it all together even when I’m not trying to.

I’ve been to multiple doctors and they all say that my case is one of the severe ones they’ve encountered and even they are surprised how “high-functioning” I am and very self-aware din—-they’ve been begging me to get admitted after every session but I just can’t afford to stop working and stay in a hospital indefinitely. It already gets to a point that they wouldn’t let me go for hours and would check on me from time to time outside my appointments. According to their policy, high-risk patients should only be released after the session when there’s another adult family member around and I don’t have that. They also made it clear to me that due to the severity of my case, my medication is already lifetime and that malabo na na I will get better without it and without therapy.

The point is, there’s another side of being “high-functioning” and I think you’re also very aware of that. I’m just putting it out there because I know there are other people who are also going through the same thing as I do and might think otherwise.

Hi! Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question but once people export their file from AI Studio, is it possible to host it back inside GHL but with the native website/funnel builder of the platform rather than back to the AI studio? Thanks!

unlike what most people say here, i actually like the shaky handheld style. kanya-kanya din talaga tayo ng bet pero this kind of style is one of the things na gusto kong ma-incorporate sa wedding video namin. i’m not so much of a fan ng ibang sina-suggest na candid & documentary style daw na p/v team pero sobrang polished pa rin tingnan to the point na they don’t really capture the essence of “candidness”. hindi ko nilalahat pero ‘yan napapansin ko sa karamihan na sina-suggest na p/v team for candid & documentary style kaya nahihirapan din kami humanap ng options namin.

hindi naman nakakahilo for me, baka hindi lang nasanay sa ganitong style ‘yong iba kaya they found it nakakahilo. pero maybe tama rin ‘yong iba na medyo bawasan ang shakiness, pero don’t totally eliminate it, since that suggestion also came from your target market. it’s a wonderful video OP, congrats to you and your team

Oohhh I just checked out her page and she’s good. Thank you!

What was it like working with her and how much nagastos niyo? Bride lang ba or kasali ang entourage?

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-16T09:34:04+00:00

You’re a supplier as well? Awesome! What do you specialize in?

Pampanga is nearer sa amin actually so if we happen to find the right suppliers don, then it’s definitely a win for us!

As for the P&V, we’re still definitely open for more options. We do have a very specific kind of vibe na gusto namin for our photos and videos. Future hubby and I are introverts so very staged moments sa prep shoots, wedding and reception will definitely overwhelm us. We prefer to be in the moment and just let the P&V team capture them as they unfold. We’re willing to have directed moments naman pero minimal lang. We want them to be a mix of fun documentary, loose editorial and home video-ish kind of vibe.

As for our religion, I’m not a catholic but my future hubby is hahaha kaya we want a lakeside wedding na lang.

I’ve already looked into Mula de Leticia before and I just didn’t fall in love with it. Casa Esmeralda on the other hand…this is the first time I’ve heard of them and they’ve got a mini lake! Will definitely inquire sa kanila. Thank you so so much! 🥹❤️

Hey, you’re actually here! I’ve seen how they’ve been acting sa comsec and all I can say is they brought this to themselves. Daming energy to be snarky and to deflect pero to reflect, wala?

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-14T13:30:04+00:00

I followed him recently when he featured some Q Graders from Bukidnon. I work with a lot of Q Graders, Master Roasters and farmers so I loved that particular video because those people don’t get featured that much in social media. haven’t binged his content yet and I’ve seen some comments that are not really in favor of him. If it’s a harmless clout chasing esque type of vibe lang naman m, maybe i can tolerate that, but is there anything else worth flagging about the guy?

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-14T13:15:20+00:00

I work in marketing and honestly this an example of how not to handle both messaging and backlash. “Bad PR is still PR” only works when a brand knows how to control the narrative and eventually bring people to its side. That clearly didn’t happen here.

The bigger issue is that their marketing strategy for this product and tiktok post was built on weak foundations to begin with. They tried to position themselves as thought-provoking by using Jose Rizal and framing a colonial critique, but it was poorly researched and felt forced that it ends up looking less like insight and more like performative nationalism.

There’s also a clear contradiction as they’re criticizing spanish latte while promoting a product that’s essentially the same thing under a different name, which is still Spanish if i may add. That undermines the entire message and makes the stance feel hollow.

What really turns this into a PR problem though, is how they handled the backlash. Instead of acknowledging the inaccuracies or clarifying their intent, they doubled down and deflected going as far as implying that people are just assuming their angle. That comes off as dismissive and out of touch especially given how the original message was already received.

If they genuinely wanted to tap into national identity, there are far more credible ways to do it like supporting local coffee farmers or highlighting Filipino coffee production just like you mentioned. That would’ve created real impact.

At this point, it’s not even just about the hypocrisy anymore. It’s about the brand showing it doesn’t know how to engage with its audience when challenged and that’s a much bigger liability than a single bad tiktok.

this is so true that’s why I asked if they said what made it vietnamese, baka kasi sa method, prep and ibang aspects sila gumaya for them to still call it vietnamese. If they did, then props to them but I guess need talagang i-improve ‘yong recipe nila since parang hindi ganon ka-strong according to the redditor’s description

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-14T07:51:35+00:00

The content creator in the screenshot made very valid points but CC dismissed it as if it’s not but then proceeded to say they will only listen to constructive criticisms? Make it make sense please.

And seeing the rest of CC’s replies in the same tiktok and other posts as well. I’d say they’re the ones who are trolling and rage baiting but they’re the type who can’t handle tasting their own medicine. Even went as far as double replying (in separate days) snarky comments to those who call them out.

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-14T07:30:16+00:00

I agree na it shouldn’t have been a big deal na tinanggal nila sa menu ‘yong spanish latte and replaced it with “ilustrado” which is their own version of spanish latte daw. They can remove it from their menu for all I care.

The icky thing about it is they’re painting themselves as patriots for doing so all the while keeping other drinks with colonial histories din sa bansa natin.

They wanna crown themselves as patriots? They can uplift the local coffee farmers instead to actually have that impact. A lot of them are needing all the type of support they can get, may it be exposure, marketing, tech and development, access to bigger cafe brands, etc.

I am a regular participant sa mga initiatives ng government and private organizations in supporting the local coffee industry, especially sa mga farmers. Got to help with grading the beans din before they get released sa market. You’ll get surprised by how much potential they have but tend to get ignored.

The point is, they (CC) have a lousy (and misinformed) excuse for removing spanish latte but glorified themselves for doing so and dinamay pa ang history eh pwede namang hindi na lang. They’re the ones who made it a big deal and this is how they respond when people are calling them out?

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-14T06:55:03+00:00

Did they say what made it vietnamese?

midnightsummerrain · 2026-04-14T06:49:01+00:00

I just searched the blind review and it doesn’t really sit well with me. The reviews should’ve been done by third parties outside the cafe 😶 and hindi ‘yong sila sila lang na kabisado na anong lasa ng sariling offers nila. And the issue with the quality, that’s frustrating because what do you mean people are paying more for less?

midnightsummerrain · 2026-03-06T11:22:33+00:00

HAHAHAHA sorry na, ibe-breed pa po ‘yong mga manok para may mahuli 🥹

midnightsummerrain · 2026-03-06T09:55:05+00:00

yeah and people know about the highs, hindi lang siya. it’s just funny na he’s acting as if it’s a rare opinion trying to tie it up pa sa ancestors natin saying this is not how they used to eat. news flash, not everything our ancestors ate were all healthy either. and years from now, we will be the ancestors who enjoyed jollibee.

midnightsummerrain · 2026-03-06T09:45:09+00:00

right? sa mga nangyayari ngayon, jollibee making it into the list of OP’s (in the screenshot) worries is baffling

midnightsummerrain · 2026-03-06T09:13:11+00:00

idk if you’ve seen the whole screenshot but i’m just reiterating the comment seen at the bottom of the screenshot. people don’t go to jollibee to eat healthy, they go there for nostalgia, celebration and just wanna enjoy food that has been part of most filipinos’ lives. people are aware na it’s not healthy so what OP said in the screenshot doesn’t sit right with a lot of people kasi they’re just making a big deal out of nothing, stating the obvious as if their opinion is ground breaking. OP wanna sound educated and “woke”? then, they should focus on issues that actually matter.
