Today’s Victory Day, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany, we remember one of the most famous moments from newly liberated Berlin. The video shows Maria Limanskaya, a young Red Army woman, dancing and directing traffic in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
Limanskaya was born in Volgograd and joined the war in 1942 in the ranks of the Red Army when she was only 18 years old. She was thrown into the unbelievably difficult task of capturing Berlin. A cameraman named Anatoly Aronov captured her performance on film, and it immediately went viral worldwide.
After the war, she returned to her native village and worked at a library before becoming a nurse. It was there that she saw her famous photo for the first time, shown by one of her patients in the “Rabotnitsa” (The Woman Worker) magazine.
Maria Limanskaya was awarded the medals “For the Liberation of Warsaw,” “For the Capture of Berlin,” and “For Victory over Germany.” She is still alive today at the age of 100.
Si tatay ang tsuper na may hawak ng PH flag sa mob kahapon.
Sabi nya sakin dinaganan, hinampas at inapakan pa raw sya ng mga pulis habang nakahiga na sa sahig.
NOW: Following LTFRB's move to proceed with the public utility vehicle modernization program (PUVMP) despite mounting oppositions, transport groups assemble at Welcome Rotonda to protest against the phaseout of unconsolidated PUVs at the end of the month.
Jeepney drivers and operators were subsequently intercepted by police forces earlier today.

Here's what you need to know:
According to Amando Doronila in a book, "The Fall of Joseph Estrada," Ramon S. Ang funded the impeachment defense of President Estrada during his 2000 Senate trial.
Ang was also a close aid of Erap loyalist Danding Cojuangco.
Connect all the dots.
Some people were surprised at a recent dialogue between Pope Francis and Marxists
With common goals of humanity among Christians and Marxists, can we say that they cannot work with each other to drive out the demons of monopoly capitalism?

Christ this is scary. The US, world leader in global terrorism, knows the Axis of Resistance will win and it will lose its foothold in the Middle East. It is shifting its hegemonic ass elsewhere and will provoke China at our expense. Our lives are not disposable. Junk EDCA please

@IiiEngr @IntlCrimCourt Davao Death Squad ( DDS ) insider Arturo Lascanas says then Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte ordered the killing of construction workers who were suspected of knowing about a shabu lab linked to Michael Yang..
Sonny Africa of @IBONFoundation explains it succinctly:
The corporatization of public transport is harmful to both transport workers & commuters. The corporate takeover of public transport thru franchise consolidation replaces public service with profit motive to jack up fares.
Very well said
"As Søren Kierkegaard said, “Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes the one who prays.” Thus, the more we pray without acting, the more detached from reality we become regarding social injustice."
