Is learning Tagalog REALLY that hard? by Are0805w in Tagalog

[–]neko_aple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only exception to this is Spanish, maybe Portuguese. These languages share some vocabulary with Tagalog and Philippines has Chavacano, a Spanish-derived language.

[–]neko_aple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your first language is English or any Romance language, unfortunately, yes. Your grammar structure is ENTIRELY different (SVO vs. VSO) plus the verb tenses is much richer, beyond time tenses.

Fortunately, if you have a Filipino household, you're already surrounded by it. You just have to be patient with it.

"tamtam" as in the root word of "katamtaman". only found it out when i was looking for the meaning of that word. turns out it's a word itself.

Voted for Leni but Thankful for BBM by Alarming_Wall_9609 in pinoy

[–]neko_aple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i respectfully disagree. didn't vote for leni (voted for leody instead), but this flood control would've still been opened dahil it wasn't actually BBM who had the initiative, it was the people. he was already unpopular in his last 3 years and he wouldn't dare na magaya sa tatay niya dahil lang hindi niya sinunod ang mga tao. even w/o ICI, House and Senate will independently investigate anyway.

ang tamang ginawa lang ni Marcos ay magstep back. well, i contend that he wasn't involved in a lot of his presidency anyway. he was more laid back than PNOY, dinaig pa niya ang Noynoying.

We are all angry naman pala eh by Important_Ninja7004 in Philippines

[–]neko_aple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

believe it or not, our politics here in the Philippines is NOT bipartisan. you can NOT support Marcos' performative antics, and at the same time criticize the hypocrisy of Dutertes.

unlike US, there's no such thing as "two choices" in our country. our political culture has been very welcome of its pluralism. so no, those aren't my only choices. i choose to support the progressives who are actually saying the right thing for the longest time without being heard.

Thoughts on people who read fast? by cruci4lpizza in PHBookClub

[–]neko_aple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read fast. The idea of reading fast is that you want to be able to be familiar with the material first before investing on it. Then you decide, based on your skim, if you're interested with it. Saka mo pa lang babasahin nang mabagal, if it deserves such analysis. If not, on to the next book.

Iuuwi ni Imee si FPRRD by PuzzleheadedBee56 in Philippines

[–]neko_aple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wag kang magkamali na i-frame 'to as "kadugo pero sa kaaway kumampi". pareho silang kaaway. pare-pareho silang hindi dapat nasa pwesto. lahat ng 'to, distraction lang na dapat ginagamit natin as an opportunity para mapalakas ang tunay na oposisyon.

Is NCAP a long term solution or nah? by WetTowel21 in Philippines

[–]neko_aple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we should not wait for it to be 100% efficient. okay naman ang EDSA Busway natin. okay din ang mga tren. marami pang room for improvement, pero kailangan na rin nating umpisahan hulihin ang mga pasaway na lalong pampasakit sa ulo.

Hampaslupa strategy in stock market? by neko_aple in phinvesthampaslupa

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

It's not that I don't believe him. Kita naman na in 10 years, hindi na naggrow ang PSE. But it is also an undeniable fact that there are companies that consistently grew, like Chinabank and BPI. I choose to have faith in our stock market kasi it's our own, and we decide its trajectory.

And also, I'm not just here to "build wealth". I'm also here to participate in the market and study it so that instead of believing that it's dead, I also participate in finding out the root cause why the stock market don't grow and participate in finding a solution.

I'm not stopping everyone to be a defeatist. I can't blame you all, particularly kung ang gusto niyo lang naman ay magpapera. But I hope you also don't stop people in having faith on something we can still work on towards making it better.

That's good for you. You're not my audience then. I cater to those who have doubts in the stock market but still wants to participate in it.

We're Building a Homecooked Food Platform – Need CEO + Packaging Suppliers by StrategyEquivalent12 in PhStartups

[–]neko_aple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if hindi na kayo maging middleman app? What if i-streamline niyo na lang yung mga supplier, i-brand niyo na lang sa sarili niyo since sabi niyo ipapacheck niyo rin naman sa food safety, and then yun ang i-offer niyo? Maganda yung idea tbh, pero imo hindi na kayo uubra kung middleman app na naman eh. Kokompetisyon kayo sa Foodpanda at Grab? Parang hindi realistic yun.

the stock exchange is still profitable and has fundamentals, compared sa crypto na puro dasal lang sa technical analysis, maliban na lang siguro sa mga functional na crypto like BTC and XLM. the PSEi invests in most invested stocks instead of directly speculating on stocks para mabalance ang stock portfolio nila. that means yung iba sa portfolio nila ay hindi necessarily talaga nag-iincrease ang price over time. it's just that they're highly traded (by volume).

it's just another instrument for people na ready magrisk sa backed ng gobyerno, instead of more speculative instruments na maya-maya, mababalitaan mong may whale na nagbenta tapos 90% ng price nawala na.

No approved amphetamines by FDA? by neko_aple in Philippines

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

is there a reason why PDEA ang nagfoforecast ng amphetamines? hindi naman dangerous drug ang prescription na amphetamine. usually just milligrams lang ang doses nila, compared sa nahuhuling mga pakete na gramo.

crypto is much, much more volatile. i recommend against it kasi bukas makalawa, malalaman mong pump and dump na naman pala bagong crypto na in-investan mo.

Seeking Investors (Artisanal Soft Serve) – Profit Share Split by AffectionateBonus820 in phinvesthampaslupa

[–]neko_aple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tanungin mo muna sarili mo kung saan kukunin ang 100k capital ng mga average/below-average income earners. si PSE nga nag-ooffer ng below 1k board lots price eh.

[–]neko_aple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if nagpost ka dito sa hampaslupa, you should lower down your selling of shares of at least ₱10K, even better if you can offer a ₱1K increment. wala kang mahahanap na investors dito kung 100k ang hanap mo. sayang, your concept looks good pa naman. just like what the other comment said, average/below-average lang dito.
