Like why would you want even MORE people to risk their own safety and trudge through floods and adverse weather conditions just so it would be "fair" to you?
Between this and the people getting annoyed by the NDRRMC alerts, it really just exposes how some of you just blatantly do not care about other people.
DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla says "violent" video games should be permanently banned from the country following the fatal shooting incident at a Tacloban City high school.
"I believe that it desensitizes young people into the elements of death, violence and murder. I believe that the government should study the matter kung paano mapipigilan ito," Remulla maintains. | @jasonsigalesINQ

I've seen people say that teachers and parents should be allowed to physically punish the youth to prevent another tragedy from happening again, saying that such discipline is necessary, which further highlights just how normalized violence is.
There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.
Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.
If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.
The debate around criminal responsibility for minors is always going to need a lot of nuance to discuss, but Robin is straight up a hypocrite to propose that amendment while he himself was convicted of a crime, which he did when he was already an adult.
Mind you Robin Padilla himself was convicted of illegal possession of firearms and was only pardoned by Duterte in 2016 which allowed him to run for public office and effectively move on from that crime
A 15-year old plus student was arrested as the suspect of the killings in Taclobanβs San Jose National High School.
Under the Juvenile Justice Act, if he acted with discernment, may criminal liability pa din.
Thereβs no need to amend it.
Wag maniwala kay Robin Padilla. π

@SupaSandGoku_V2@denimneverdies As someone from a 3rd world country, even children have figured out how to emulate games on their phones. There were even bootleg arcade machines that hosted several NES roms when I was a kid. Far too many people act like us being poor makes us incapable of finding a way to play
@yengyosi_ They love to point out "bobotantes" falling for fake news but will gladly spout bioessentialist bullshit by claiming that "science says so", without citing any studies and ignoring that science is ever-changing.
Rallies are disruptive. You aren't there having a picnic. You're there to remind the state who it should be serving. Sacrificing personal comfort is the bare minimum when attending these.
@Traidon2@fishin4l0ve Nobody but Cover would know, because Cover hasn't really specified what or how the girls would be considered successful enough to debut formally.
@ensaymeowda Didn't Leni herself say that people should stop 'savior' politics too? Like why do they seem to struggle to actually listen to what she says
@veritaeffetuale Which is why their rhetoric always falls under whether or not the poor person deserves to receive cash aid instead of actually advocating for more welfare programs that would actually benefit the middle class more.
@veritaeffetuale The discussion around 4Ps by certain middle class people starts to make sense once you realize that they sincerely believe that poverty is a personal failing, and that poverty in itself should be punishment towards them for allegedly not working hard or smart enough.
@JohnKasarinlan@yengyosi_ Sa dami pero na MAGA Filipino immigrants, makikita mo rin na wala silang pake as long as hindi sila apektado. If anything it proves that some folks would gladly become the oppressors if it means living comfortably
