We need to stop obsessing about exam topnotchers. UP Med alumni in the US were freaking out about how no one from UP Med topped the boards a few years ago. Our professors were badass: “We’re not training them to top the boards; we’re training them to become good doctors.”
2022 Bar topnotcher Matthew Dayday said there needs to be a change in how society perceives and treats the Bar exams, adding it “should not be the be-all and end-all” of legal education.

You’re making fun of someone for working 18 hours in 24 as Vice President?
Try doing 36 hours in a big public hospital.

Without stipends or hazard pay.
He didn’t look straight at the camera. He used “mahal na Presidente” a tad too much; unnatural, scared perhaps. And I need not explain that stifling pause.
Coercion. Enough said.
Junel Insigne, the captain of the Philippine boat sunk by a Chinese vessel, apologizes to President Duterte for thinking that he was invited to meet the chief executive at the Palace.

We don’t recommend a reswab after isolating/recovering from mild or asymptomatic COVID because it might come out falsely positive. But why are companies still requiring their employees to reswab? As if they’re all gonna cover the cost. Not to mention time wasted on everyone’s end
I’m not the first to notice that the enemy continues to be angry in the wake of their so-called “victory.” And I am not the first to say that it’s probably because they can’t understand why we do not feel as defeated and devastated as they’d want us to be despite them “winning.”+
Forgive me for being a slag for clout, but if this gets over 1,000 likes, I will create a Tiktok through which I will campaign. And maybe rant. But mostly to campaign.
No offense to many of you, but if Duterte put Leni Robredo in charge of jeepney modernization in 2017 instead of projecting his mommy issues onto her with all sorts of misogynous insults, jeepney drivers wouldn’t be on strike this week.

Half of me agrees with this. The other half thinks maybe it’s high time for the Opposition to keep quiet and let the proverbial frogs learn to deliver themselves from the boiling pot.
Halatang never ka pang nagtrabaho sa pagamutang pampubliko sa bansang ito para umambag sa lipunan.

Daming mong talak at ebak, Tambaloslos ng Malolos. Tumulong ka na lang.
Sixteen million of you voted for Duterte because you wanted real change. That includes paying underpaid workers in healthcare better. That includes medical front liners too.
What kind of freedom serves a system that exploits the very people that make it work? We deserve better.
China didn’t question Taiwan when they imposed restrictions.
China didn’t complain to Singapore when they didn’t let that plane unload and sent it back to Hangzhou.
Speak for yourself.
Hm. NAIA loses power on the eve of Joffrey’s visit to the US.
On the heels of increased Chinese violations of Philippine sovereignty.
Pero kay Leni ka naiinis? Payag ka, Wilhelmina?
Aba, siyempre. Tanga ka, e.
People aren’t attacking vaccines. They’re questioning A VACCINE. Singular.

vaccines. Vaccines save lives. Let's wait for final data. Trust our medical experts to approve or disapprove which vaccines are best. Don't throw away our shot.

The fact that Beijing said it was an accident in a press conference—instead of Beijing denying it outright—is enough to say it was a Chinese vessel that rammed innocent Filipinos. Beijing acknowledged it.
You don’t need a master’s in international relations to know that.
Hold my beer.
The leading problem with Philippine public healthcare is the lack of primary and general care. The lack of specialist care is a problem too, but that’s easier to tackle if you get primary and general care sorted.
More centers like PGH/SPMC/BGH rather than PHC/NKTI

This just shows you’re in it for the glory.
It’s not your job to be thanked like a god for making lives better by your imperial highness’s leave and license. I don’t care how good you claim to be; I’m not gonna thank you for bare minimums. Quit being a baby and get back to work.
I’ve been seeing a lot of patients coming in for cough and colds these last couple of weeks.
Ideally, we should be testing patients for COVID-19, even just the symptomatic ones with a rapid antigen saliva test. (1/x)
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas again reminded the public that folded P1,000 polymer banknotes, sometimes also called plastic bills, should still be accepted.

Hold my beer. I’m gonna make a thread.
My staff and I rushed the child to the (PGH) emergency room.
No amount of pleading from me to attend to the young patient would budge the good doctor.
Click on the link for the video of that incident inside the PGH-ER yesterday:
Filipino politicos go abroad and say, “Oh, I wish we had public transport this efficient back home.”
You’ve been going on holiday to places with better public transport since before you were elected. Stop wishing and do something.
Two reasons not to vote for this guy.
I remember reading something from a respectable news outlet that he supports the so-called “war on drugs.” I can’t find the article.
He thinks electric fans give you cerebral palsy; they don’t.
Guys, ang mga magbabaradulang mga leftist at Leni supporters, ipa-destierro sa TikTok ko, sa comments section. 60 minutes. Sagutin nila ang mga comments ng mga trolls ni Manny Brong Junior. See if you can last five. I fucking dare you.
For fuck’s sake. We have a country to save.

What kind of business manager defends a crappy, business-unfriendly lack of good public transit to and from NAIA???
Politics and morals aside, good transit shows you mean business. For the rest of us with hearts and souls, good transit means better living.
What a shame,

Psh. Pathetic.
Spain has drag queens who perform Jesus AND Mary in one show. At Carnival.
The British have made films about priests having sexual affairs with consenting adults.
These trapos are just doing it for the clout. Pakitang-tao ng mga nagbabalatkayo. Mga mapagkunwari.
Outrage Bandwagon.
I mean, I get that Pura offended Catholic sensibilities, and I don’t hold it against my Catholic friends, but where was this same energy from these LGUs when Duterte cussed out both God and the Pope?
Which is to say, this is just performative shiz.

Medyo matapobre ng DOH. Hindi naman mangmang ang mga Pilipino para hindi makabasa ng instructions ng home antigen test kits. Nakaka-Netflix nga tayo in English eh. We Filipinos are a very competent people.

In defense of the pharmacists
Pharmacists, like doctors, can give advice on what meds to take for something, but they can’t prescribe or diagnose. The public shouldn’t expect them to replace doctors, and it’s not the pharmacists’ fault patients do that. Blame crappy healthcare.
Ulol. Pwede naman sabihing “social welfare programs” imbes na “confidential” yung pondo, e.
Maraming natulungan yung nakaraang VP across the Philippines from just one office and no confidential funds, by the way.
Madumb lang iyang Santa Sarang Santambaluslos niyo. Saba dihey.
Doktor ako. Lumaban ako sa COVID. Hindi wais yung plano ni Isko sa kalusugan. Ang kailangan ng Pilipinas, mga ospital na pangkalahatan tulad ng PGH sa iba’t ibang probinsya at rehiyon MALIBAN SA MAYNILA. Hindi dagdag na specialist center na kukulangin NA NAMAN sa pondo at tauhan.
Here’s a hot take you might like.
As long as traffic, cycling, and transit suck, big companies should pay their employees for time spent in bad commutes even if it’s before or after hours.
The big companies then pressure the government to make transit better to get out of that.
Hindi ka naman talaga galit kay Leni. Galit ka lang sa sarili mo kasi hindi ka bumawi tulad niya. At hindi mo matanggap na nakabawi siya. Gusto mo siyang magdusa kahit wala naman siyang ginawa sa iyo.
You will never be anything like her. Deal with it.
It’s quite a shame Greenhills residents didn’t give some way for a metro line to Gilmore. To think a lot of them jet off to Hong Kong or Tokyo, take the subway to get around, and think, “Ay, sana ganito rin sa Pinas!” Psh. Don’t me, Jayvee. 🙄😒 (1/2)
