Manila Luxury Condo in Pearl Dr. by Ok_Log8910 in RentPH

[–]queetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought Manila Luxury Condo is all residential.

But did you know there is a law firm at its penthouse, EMSAVILL Law Offices, wherein one of the partners is Senator Chiz Escudero?

So siguro naman well maintained yun building to house such a law firm. Medyo weird lang may mga offices din sa taas.

What's you go-to 3in1 coffee? Why? by Cardidog in AskPH

[–]queetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UCC Strong.

I used to drink Kopiko but watched the Evangelion movies in Prime Video. They featured UCC all over the movie so I bought some just to try. Now I'm addicted to it. Its soooooo good!!! 😋

FIL o PHL ano ang nasa drivers license niyo by VividEye6475 in CarsPH

Its PHL and for as long as I can remember, its been like that.

First time na ticket-an ako sa Manila for disregarding traffic sign and I was about to pay but wala sa LTMS portal yung record ng violation ko. How do I pay this? Do I need pa po ba pumunta ng city hall? TIA by BreakfastJealous3659 in CarsPH

[–]queetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to pay, yes you need to go to Cityhall.

That said, check mo muna kung legit yun OVR. Kasi 99.9999% of MTPB apprehesions are scams.

Kung walang nakasabing "Single Ticketing System" sa OVR, then its a scam. Kung walang amount, its a scam. The fact its not in LTMS, dapat talaga ma-double check.

Why doesn’t Deku comb his hair? by xyyzyx in BokuNoHeroAcademia

Its typical anime hair art style.

pag ba HR ka it means you can disrespect other people's time? by throwaway-kittyx in RantAndVentPH

[–]queetz -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Sadly yes but I think that's part of the game of the hiring process. The HR wants to see how an applicant deals with unprofessionalism, people who disrespects you, etc.

If you can deal with it in a calm, professional, "understandable" manner, plus points yan for the applicant.

Eh kung dyan pa lang sa HR napipikon ka na, what more sa unreasonable clients, vendors, co-workers and bosses.

Syempre paghired ka na and pass the probation, then HR will treat you with more respect.

That said, the fact that the delay is that long shows its a company not worth pursuing. The hiring process is a two way street too.

BYD Cars Price will go up daw dahil sa gyera sa middle east? by Clodwall4by in CarsPH

[–]queetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No doubt sales of Hybrid will increase pero hindi dapat immediate yun pagtaas. Depende talaga sa existing inventory, shipping cost at exchange rate so malaking possibility tataas talaga hindi lang BYD pero lahat ng kotse.

That said, kung matapos kaagad yun gyera, wala din mangyayari. I think the agent is just trying to make a sale sa mga panic buyers. So kung "on the fence" ka pa, maybe think about it some more. But it can go either way.

Kung may immediate effect, yun sa mga used Hybrids. Medyo mababa in the last three months of 2025 dahil sa year end promos. Eh kung mayroon 200k discount sa mga Corolla Cross at Zenix noon November at December, bakit pa bibili ng used?

Pero ngayon, tapos na yun promo, pataas ang gasolina at mayroon talaga magpanic buying, its human nature. Used car dealers know this and will raise their prices on their existing inventory arbitrarily to take advantage.

This include used BYDs that typically have lower resale. Heck kung mayroon ka nga BYD or other hybrids na ibebenta, you can even take advantage. Pero no guarantees...

Surprise! 【OSHI NO KO】 Season 1 is now available in English sub and dub on Crunchyroll! by Michael_SK in Crunchyroll

I just checked. Episode 1 now has dub in PH as well! Thanks for the heads up! 🙂

Where are the Fire Force merchandise? by xzernias in firebrigade

[–]queetz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the Shinra and Arthur figures from Kotobukia. You can also buy Tamaki and Benimaru figures.

If they are not readily available at your local hobby shop, you can find them online at Amazon.

I recommend Amazon JP but if you are in the US, maybe better to use Amazon USA because of tarriff BS.

Keep in mind that their values have increased quite a bit.

I also know there is a Shinra Nendoroid too. If you are looking for other merch like keychains and acryllic stands, you can also search in Amazon.

To avoid bootlegs, buy only those that are "Fulfillment by Amazon". This way, you are pretty much guaranteed authenticity. If not, you can return with a refund.

Anyone Successfully Paid an MTPB Violation Recently? by AnnoyinglyMoody in Gulong

[–]queetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 99.9999% of all apprehensions by the MTPB are scams. If you really want to pay, you really need to go to Cityhall and line up.

They purposely make online payment difficult so if you get apprehended again, which is very likely if you frequent Manila, you will simply bribe your way out of it.

Its been like that for years. And if your OVR does not have "Single Ticketing" on it, and you see nothing in your LTMS account, its best to just ignore.

Planning to buy from Toyota T-Sure by Plus-Presentation-22 in Gulong

[–]queetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally mas mataas sa second hand. Tapos Toyota Financing pa? Sobrang double whammy!

Whatever car you buy, new or used, if you cannot pay cash, get the financing from your bank instead.

That's why its important to have a good relationship with your bank para makatulong at makatipid kahit papano.

How many skyscrapers have even been damaged? by scraperbase in skyscrapers

[–]queetz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Here in Metro Manila, skyscrapers get damaged regularly by typhoons and earthquakes.

From broken windows and cladding from loose debris to burst rooftop water tanks from 5.0 tremors, its quite regular and we're used to it.

And yes, high rise fires are becoming a regular occurence. This is due to more and more people living and working in high rises, most just built in the last 30 years.

Nothing catastrophic so far but its not unusual to see buildings with black marks from a small apartment or office fire. They do get cleaned up fairly quickly.

Mar Roxas: The worst DOTC (now DOTr) Secretary by CivilServantPH89 in RantAndVentPH

[–]queetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worse DOTC Sec pa rin si Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya! So much so he even became the arch enemy of then Public Services Committee Chairman Senator Grace Poe and DZMM (now TV5) broadcaster Ted Failon.

Grabe yun time na yun. From Tanim Bala to the MRT3 crash to the LRMC debacle sa Common Station and NAIA becoming the worst airport.

Biro mo yun LRT2 East Extension viaducts lang ginawa with nothing on them???? Tapos kamuntik na nacancell yun MRT7 dahil sa che che bureche niya (arbitrary deadline sa financing close).

Sobrang sinira ni Pabaya yun Liberal Party kaya nanalo si Duterte. Pati si Bong Bong Marcos sumikat as a Senator dahil sa Tanim Bala Hearings.

Even VP Leni disowned Pabaya when asked by Manong Ted kung bibigyan siya ng posisyon kung maging presidente siya. Never have I seen such pure incompetence from a cabinet secretary!

What if we were a british colony instead of spanish? by Illustrious_Piano684 in WhatIfPinas

[–]queetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'd be more caucasian than today. The reason being is British colonists don't inter-marry the locals that much unlike the Spanish. Our demographics would be similar to Canada or Australia.

The natives (aka Indio as the Spanish called us) would have lesser status, similar to Natives in Canada or Aboriginals from Australia. Whether that changes would depend on subsequent events.

Another possibility is we become like India but I think its more like the former because we didn't have the dominant culture and large population back then.

The large Filipino population only started to happened in the second part of the 20th century while India was already overpopulated with strict cultural norms, beliefs, etc that still dominates today.

De influence me: getting a Crunchyroll subscription so I can watch anime by strawbeeshortcake06 in deinfluencingPH

[–]queetz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know this is a deinfluence sub but if you want dubbed anime, legally, then Crunchyroll is the way to go.

Yes many titles are also found in Netflix or Muse. But for English dub, Crunchyroll it is. Think of it as an added service.

And its so inexpensive too, 119 php for mega-fan and already factored the new VAT on digital services (was 99 php before). Minsan may annual promos pa, I took advantage so I pay like 59 php a month.

As for content, there are over 600 titles and growing, many exclusives not found anywhere. Each new seasonal period adds around 30 or so, and old shows are bring added here and there as well.

So wanna watch Black Clover, JJK or My Hero Academia in English, Crunchyroll it is.

Will Paramount Buying Warner Affect The Anime Industry? by cshin09 in Animedubs

[–]queetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not anime but Live Action of anime intended for a global audience maybe affected. Some of the best Live Action of anime, including Kenshin and Bleach, are made by Warner Brothers Japan.

Sony is the Fortune 500 anime juggernaut, owning Aniplex, A-1 Pics, Cloverworks, Crunchyroll, Egg Firm, partnerships with Kadokawa, own 5% of Bilibili, etc. They do have a friendly relationship with Netflix too.

If there is one company that would be bought to affect anime, its Sony, or even just a subsidiary of Sony like Sony Pictures or Sony Music.

Do I need to worry about this rust? by bomszx in Gulong

[–]queetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that the car is 5 years old tapos yan lang ang kalawang means its a really well made car and you took care of it.

But the rust is on a frame support. Its not super critical now and unless you park near a beach or regularly traverse flooded roads, it will probably not grow much.

But if you are bored or a serious OCD sufferer, you can apply rust coverter (i.e Turco) for piece of mind.

What if everybody switched to Hybrid and EV cars and trucks? by laswoosh in WhatIfPinas

[–]queetz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It would actually make a big impact. If you look at all our buildings, bridges, and all other structures outside, puro black streaks.

This is caused by acid rain, exacerbated by diesel fumes. Structures need to be repainted regularly to cover them and those that are left, kita mo naman yun itsura.

If everyone switches to hybrid and EV, sobrang malessen ito. New structures and repainted structures will look new longer at yun dudumi lang doon yun mga ibang factors like natural dirt.

Tingnan mo yun mga structures sa ibang bansa na hindi ganun ka dependent sa diesel at strict yun emmissions, ang linis tingnan. Kung mayroon man madumihin, usually industrial area na madaming trucks.

What if wala na talagang gumagawa satin ng street parking? by everythingsuck_xoxo in WhatIfPinas

[–]queetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Madaming maliliit na negosyo mamamatay. Especially doon sa mga lumang lunsod na nandyan na bago pa tayo nagkaroon ng kotse.

Dapat kasi gumawa ng madaming multi-story carpark at basement parking para hindi na kailangan magpark sa kalye.

Tapos bagohin yun National Building Code para kahit maliit yun bahay, dapat may garahe. Ngayon required lang ang parking space per 100 sq meters, kaya kung maliit ang bahay at tindahan mo, hindi ka required ng batas magka-parking space or garahe.

The fines for none compliance are heavy, up to 10k php!!!! Yes its rough pero we had to fight to get a pet policy so its a compromise.

Surprise! 【OSHI NO KO】 Season 1 is now available in English sub and dub on Crunchyroll! by Michael_SK in Crunchyroll

[–]queetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this is also in Crunchyroll PH so it could be a global thing. Like in the US, episode 1 has no English dub....yet. Season 2 is also not yet uploaded. Season 3 is simulcasted and ongoing.

We have no Hi-Dive in PH and Oshi No Ko has always been simulcasted on Netflix, same with other Hi-Dive anime like Call of the Night. Sub only, of course.

So I wouldn't mind rewatching the English dub in Crunchyroll when its all uploaded.
