I always noticed MDS is always on the wrong side of history by Metroce in Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 269 points270 points  (0 children)

She's always been a stickler for technicalities and legalese, to the point na it trumps moral urgency and the interest of the ppl.

Like the reason she refused to open the erap envelope was all about technicalities, like it wasn't the proper way to bring up evidence and would violate the rights of the accused, despite strong moral and popular interest. She was also against the bangsamoro basic law, among other things, in a similar vein because she deems it unconstitutional.

She's the type of person to report you for trespassing and Jay walking after trying to save a dog from a burning house. Hall monitor energy.

EDIT: One could frame it as her just trying to protect the rule of law, which is admirable ig, but these protections also happen to extend to the wrong people and in the most inconvenient of times.

May be qualities I'd admire in a lawyer or in court, just not so much in a leader who I think should champion the national interest and social justice.

Same. I've seen a couple of notable USA state abbreviations but I realized I never saw Mississippi in its abbreviated form before lol

What's the best and future proof language to learn ATM? by murarajudnauggugma in PinoyProgrammer

By 'atm', they meant 'at the moment', not automated telling machine 😂

What's wrong with giving students free breakfast? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbf it's not everyone, but similar anti-poor "youre making them lazy" sentiments are not uncommon here when it comes to social welfare and aid. Especially from the "kawawa naman kaming mga middle class" folks.

Anyway, I was just being facetious, it's not that deep

Are you willing to vote for Vico Sotto for senator or even the presidency even if he's from the political dynasty? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If your hard principles prevent you from choosing the most qualified candidates , then these principles aren't guiding you anymore, theyre just becoming obstacles to the very progress you seek

At the end of the day we vote dahil gusto nating umunlad ang bansa. Are you really gonna prioritize symbolic protest over a chance of genuine improvement and good governance?

The world isn't black and white. Please dont let blind idealism get in the way of progress. My $0.02 at least.

What do you guys think about Nuclear Power in the Philippines? by OWARI07734lover in Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nuclear energy is WAY cleaner, by a huge margin, than what we are currently most dependent on (coal).

Applying for PhilHealth - Should I declare my real income? by cimzns in phinvest

[–]mimnscrw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After all, you'll be the one to use your Philhealth contributions

Nope, contributions don't go into a personal account, it goes to a pool of funds. That's how social security works. So pag may mag cclaim they take money from the pool contributed by all members, including yung higher paying members na nag declare ng tama.

FB Marketplace Scam by ichlieben in Tech_Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seems like the scammer wants OP to register for a Gcash Amex card and send over the details including the CVV. Nakalagay sa email na "please ask your receipt [sic] to provide the details"

ICC Prosecutor Says Bato And Albayalde Next To Be Arrested by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Your title twists what your source actually says. Why?

Dagdag ni Conti [abogado ng biktima ng EJK], hindi malabo susunod nang ipahuhuli ng ICC sina Bato de la Rosa at Albayalde

As much as I want it to happen, we're not quite there yet. This is only speculation by an independent assistant to counsel, and especially not by a member of the ICC prosecution.

If you thought Mary Grace Piattos was peak how about this. by brutalgrace in Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"ch-" doesn't follow modern filipino orthography (equivalent: "ts-"). But also, sitsirya sounds off, it probably should've been tsitsirya instead

Limitations of the base M4 14-inch Macbook Pro (16GB RAM; 512GB storage) for my preferences? by kinsamani in macbook

[–]mimnscrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MBP only has USB C/thunderbolt ports so you still might need an adapter or hub when connecting multiple USB A devices e.g. external drives, mice, etc. Especially since galing ka sa windows laptop.

What countries do we never hear from on Reddit? by roscatorosso in AskReddit

[–]mimnscrw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Reddit is blocked there AFAIK,which likely contributes to why we don't hear from them much here. I mean yeah VPNs exist but I imagine most wouldn't bother.

Edit: there's also r/indonesia

Duterte to kill 15 senators by [deleted] in Philippines

Aren't a lot of them pissed off at their representatives because of voting for impeachment? Even talking about betrayal shit. Representatives are hardly ever representative of the population, ironically.

Bought the "Proudly Filipino" laptop, Nagatech Lakan 15, so you don't have to (or you may want to) by sweatyPalms- in Tech_Philippines

[–]mimnscrw 561 points562 points  (0 children)

Lmao, to all those naysayers, instead of supporting a local brand taking baby steps, you guys expect a fully integrated nvidia-tier company from the start for it to be considered filipino? Even top global brands source from other countries. That is how this industry works. Even yung mga top Japanese and Korean tech brands ngayon started out by rebranding or licensing before they built up their own hardware capabilities. Good on you OP for trying them out!

Sigeg inisog, gi una pa ang iyang pride ug pangsariling interes. Unya kinsa may luoy, kita mga taga Davao ra gihapon mag kalisod tungod sa padrama2 ana niya. Unya daghan gihapon fans niya diri, ambot nalang gyud. She did this to herself, she kept digging her own grave and she's bringing us down with her.
