They'll ban Discord for allegedly radicalizing Filipino kids but they won't ban Viber for actually radicalizing Filipino adults

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.

A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.

The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.

And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.

It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

I hope to see more balanced transportation spending that includes a reasonable share for road-based public transport and active transport, instead of the near exclusive concentration on railways that leaves Filipinos bereft of tangible results for decades. https://t.co/oI9umJU6f0

Thanks to @MMDA and Gab Go for creating a platform to discuss not just road safety, but also the gig economy. A departure from the traditional 8-to-5, it reflects the changing ways people live and work, and the evolving demands of everyday life.

Railway pa more. Talagang hindi priority ang comprehensive mobility policy sa Pilipinas. Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring creativity, walang urgency, tutal mukhang tanggap na rin ng lahat ang trapik natin e lol

Walkability improvements are low-cost, short-gestation, employment-generating, highly visible, pro-poor and implementable in every barangay. https://t.co/LLagVgMcL3

More Filipinos could be traveling on bicycles every day — saving money, conserving fossil fuel and having very low environmental impact. https://t.co/crEQFR7g13

your community IS coming to save you IF you give them opportunities to do so

how to open yourself up to the world:

> get off your couch & go do things with the people you love
> stop disappearing when things get hard. let your friends into your inner world. give them the chance to help you. you don't have to carry it alone
> create lightweight ways to stay in touch - send a voice memo or random calls while you're walking/driving around
> be honest about the *real* stuff in your life - you'd be surprised how much empathy people give when you let them in
> you forget that *you* can initiate. ask your friends to join for a movie, drink, dinner.
> smile at strangers more often. you might change someone's whole day and you'll feel happier for it too
> bring back random hangouts. ask if someone is around for a last minute walk/talk
> stop missing the important moments. celebrate friend's wins genuinely - new jobs, relationships, accomplishments AND be there during the hard times too
> stop prioritizing work every time... friends often outlast jobs
> you can host small gatherings at your home to see multiple friends at once (even when life is busy)
> "how is everything going?" "thinking of you!" goes a long way in staying connected
> don't take any silence from old friends personally. it usually has nothing to do with you and they just got busy. you can double text.
> you're allowed to tell your friends what you hope for in your friendship. if you want to see them more, call more, etc. you CAN communicate
> ask your barista how they're doing, chat with a stranger in the grocery store line, give someone a compliment. you never know where it might lead!

SENATE SCENE: Raw footage of Senate beat reporters running, recording and asking questions should send a strong message to audiences. Responsible journalism trumps hyperpartisan vlogging/content creation. Delivering the news is hard work. Truth-telling should be valued.

[Krixia Subingsubing @subingsquared_]

Senate media beat proving that in the hardest of times it would always be the journalists to show up on the frontlines. Not vloggers, not influencers, not online commentators. Nothing but the highest respect to our hardworking colleagues.

Dempsey Reyes was such a fierce and courageous reporter, but he was an even better human being. He was funny, witty, charming, and kind. It's mind-numbing to talk about him in the past tense. The industry lost a good one.

Forty-six years ago today, tribal leader Macli-ing Dulag was murdered by government soldiers for leading the struggle against the World Bank-funded Chico Dam project under the regime of strongman Ferdinand Marcos.

Every April 24 since 1985, Cordillerans mark People’s Day to honor Macli-ing.
