Hidilyn Diaz won the gold medal despite being red-tagged, targeted and lack of funding.
Margielyn Didal got into the top 10 (7th) of the olympic skateboarding event in a country without skate parks or open spaces to practice in a country where skaters are seen as a nuisance.
People may not understand the gravity of this.
A passport may take 2 weeks - 1 month to get fixed. That passport is also connected to multiple papers for foreign workers beyond just the visa. The OEC (overseas employment certificate) can take months to get.
Fuck this.
Members of the police Aviation Security Group saw a 31-year-old woman crying as she held her torn passport at the NAIA-1’s departure area as her husband, 34, argued with her.
Hi sir! And to everyone who are wondering! This is an example of inclusive design po. They’re really made shorter So they can be accessible for our wheelchair users. I hope all other Presidential candidates see the value in more accessible design
So if it hasn’t dawned on people yet and if people are still trying to defend it. The transportation system in the Philippines is so broken that people have been literally dehumanizing themselves by using transportify and lalamove and basically getting transported as human cargo
Our olympic queens are women in a country with so much macho and misogyny. One of them being an out queer woman (Margie) in a country with no protections for LGBTQIA+
Does anyone remember blogging when it was really just you talking about your day and what interesting thing happened? Before sponsored posts and photo dumps. Before people cared about it being "content" and it was seriously just something you wanted to share.
I know ka leody posted this in a cheeky for comedy manner but feeling ko he is one of the few presidential candidates who would actually fight for PWD rights and access
the fact that we think a car is a necessity is a problem of this inequitable society. The fact that we think owning a car is a goal and a sign of progress, is a symptom of a car centric society.
While I understand your frustration,I believe it’s unfair to car owners (mostly working middle class)who strived & worked hard to own a car mainly as a tool to be blamed
Owning a car is not luxury
It’s now a necessity
D’ original post on space is valid
We want everyone’s safety
Add to this the Monetary cost:
An OEC can cost up to a hundred USD.
The process to even get to that point is extreme, there's also the insurance that people have to pay which depending on the contract will cost more than a 100usd.

ONDOY isa sa mga unang relief goods na pinadala sa cov courts: Isang buong Lechon + COOKED RICE.

I’m still like flabbergasted seeing people say “ go to a library” thinking like… are you in the same country as I am because the Philippines hasn’t had public libraries in like forever? Or this just shows how detached twitter folk are?

@Kris_404_p
This would be valid if it wasnt a Zero sum game. We literally throw out thousands, millions at basketball games and athletes while other sports where we actually excell at gets very little.

@littleboondock
Nope it was "relief goods" this was the first night swear, as in pinapadala mga tao para maghukay ng putik pa.
Also Atenean relief volunteer clothes:
High Heels, Full face of make-up, mini-skirts and dressy tank tops. I thought I was going to a club.
Dear kabataan.
Wag na kayo magpaloko Sa pag-asa ng bayan crap ng mga matatanda. Ilang dekada na sinasabi yan.
Demand people in power fix the problems now.
@rosereyde
we really should stop making these comparisons... they're just as fucked up as we are now.
Just probably better packaged but still as trapo as what we have now
I dont think people realize that less than 10% of manila’s households contribute to The massive private car traffic on Metro Manila. Thats How bad it is and How privileged it is to make it shitty for 90% of people.
@jacques_lakan
@jecondraysbak
Same thoughts. I wonder who’s marketing gimick led to this meaning “welcome” when it’s only used to “welcome foreigners” and the actual meaning of the word is “long live”.
@marlougao
The private cars are The traffic.
The private cars actually make it worse for public transportation.
The Road system is fine we dont need one more lane, we need less private cars
Congrats
@TheRainBro
this is the queer story and the evolution of BL we needed.
You said you wanted to reclaim BL for queer people, you did.
PS. May papadala akong ayuda as thank you.
This post is blasting and I'm happy more people are learning about inclusive design. I may be more kakampink but I do stand with Ka Leody and his fight as well :-P
XOXO - The Norman Whore
WTF HOW DETACHED DO YOU HAVE TO BE FROM REALITY TO THINK RENTING A 30K APARTMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES ISNT RICH...
Like what are you earning 120k?
Tanga mo teh.
Not really a full liberal party person but if you haven’t noticed: a huge chunk of the liberal party left and switch sides after the 2016 elections. A huge chunk of what we call the problem of the liberal party: the trapos etc — jumped ship.

I grew up in a family that had three cars, a corola, a starex and a rangerover.
I know color coding doesnt work because thats exactly why My dad bought the Van. I know what car centric thinking and privileged thinking is because thats why My dad bought the rover.
So the ruling party just announced Boxer Manny Pacquiao as the new president of the party.
I don’t know what to do anymore please get me out of the country.

Bigger problems around this: we don’t have libraries for people to study in and with the pandemic many people don’t have homes conducive to study in.
With people calling this out it's becoming more obvious the issue isn't the ama namin but the issue they have is drag and homophobia.
So again you can be offended that's fine. Art can sometimes offend it's part of it. The bigger question is to ask why you’re offended.
This Guy gets 4th place in The olympics is ranked
#2
in The world for pole vault and is doing it with barely enough funding from The government.
When we Say Support for other sports is very disproportionate this is what we mean. We are seriously killing it in other sports.
BEST OLYMPIC FINISH FOR OBIENA 🇵🇭💪🏼
JUST IN. EJ Obiena falls short of a prized medal in the Paris Olympics as he finishes fourth in the men's pole vault final.
Obiena fails to clear 5.95m as he misses out on becoming the Philippines' first Olympic athletics medalist since
Placed in most privileged ass tweet I've seen in the past week folder joining ”do something about it” and ”doesnt deserve a seat at the table” tweets but I’m no longer surprised from the person who said ”depression is glamorous”:
All these kacarpinks showing how anti bike and car-supremacist they are kinda shows how they were only happy about bikes during the election and just because they could use us for visibility.
THIS IS NOT HOW ALLYSHIP WORKS.
So don’t tell me I’m alienating possible Allies.
August two years ago, I came home to the news that my cousin was found dead on the edge of QC
He had gone missing a few days before. A CCTV footage was found of him being nabbed by policemen into a van that weekend. He had 27 gunshot wounds on his body.
Bishop Iniguez said the "darkness that has engulfed the country is steadily being pushed back as more lights for truth and justice shine."
He lauded those who filed the case and their supporters as "heroes."

Was arrested and chemically castrated for "indecent acts" (because homosexual acts were illegal)
Wow, apparently theres this issue with an HIV+ alter posting sex vids. Wow so guys if your HIV+ it automatically makes you asexual?
HIV+ people have the same right to a healthy sex life as any HIV - person people drill that into your brains.

I would volley with this obviously fragilistic male ego sarcasm but I would really suggest you try to step back to have a better understanding of the people and cultures you talk about as well as the bigger connections specially as you are a spaniard.
4) Leonardo Da Vinci
The quintessential renaissance man. His drawings and writings have become foundations for aviation, anatomy and art.
His most famous "apprentice" — Salai also widely regarded as his young lover.
Reality about private cars vs public transport is people wont Take public transport even if Its readily accessible and easy if driving a car is easier and cheaper. To put it bluntly you have to make it suck to Drive a car.
So this is the first news I’ve seen of these HMO providers removing their discriminatory health clauses for PLHIV. It’s been a few months but this should roll out soon with other HMOs
Can I just drunk tweet that Yes QC is Great but fuck talaga The pedestrian hostility of QC Circle. Yung naka funnel lahat ng crossing sa under pass na dalawa lang instead of letting people Cross at grade.
If you want to know why this mornings news affects us as cyclists and transport advocates.
Worst parts there are police men who are cyclists as well and some of them handle bike groups and think they are also above it all.

Not to attack din ate girl.
But napaka tone deaf din ng kanyang "while healthy and able get insurance" ... some of us never had the choice miss investments.
