This is why Kim soo hyun will ALWAYS be guilty in the eyes of the public. The Korean system is built to protect paedophiles & gag or jail whistle-blowers. The police and the judicial system will always set them free, so ksh lovers shouldn't be proud peddling that he's "innocent".
110 MILLION year old RAINFOREST turned into absolutely nothing. 😭
Tens of thousands of species to none.
The destruction humans have caused in Indonesia is the most depressing thing ever. 🌳🔥
I literally heard customs officials sa NAIA T3 talking to each other na may pagkain dinner na sila kasi may naconfiscate silang tinapang bangus so this is a valid crashout

Akbayan Party on Tuesday declared “political dynasties a national disaster,” as massive flooding once again submerged communities and stranded thousands of motorists over the weekend despite years of flood-control projects and billions of pesos in public spending.
The party said the recurring disasters raise a fundamental question: How can Filipinos remain so vulnerable to flooding after billions have supposedly been spent to protect them?
The flooding along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) over the weekend further exposed the country’s failure to prepare for predictable flood risks. Thousands of motorists were left stranded for hours in areas where flooding hazards should already be known and contingency measures should already be in place. “Whether public or privately operated, critical infrastructure must have adequate flood mitigation and emergency-response measures. Filipinos deserve infrastructure that works and institutions that are prepared,” Akbayan President Rafaela David said.
Akbayan said the same pattern has emerged in Davao City during the July Habagat rains, as thousands of residents were displaced by flooding despite the city receiving one of the largest shares in flood-control allocations from 2020 to 2022. It said that these recurring disasters, despite enormous fiscal allocations, demand greater scrutiny of how flood-control funds are planned, allocated, and spent.
“Political dynasties are a problem for democracy. They are a national calamity, whose concentrated political power allows public resources to be controlled without meaningful accountability,” David said. “Those who influence where projects go and how public funds are spent should not be allowed to escape accountability when those projects fail.”
Akbayan called on the Senate to finally break the cycle of concentrated political power by passing a genuine and strong anti-political dynasty law that will prevent the capture of public office and resources by a few powerful families. “Panahon na para tapusin ang bangungot na ito. We need a law that genuinely limits the concentration of political power and opens Philippine politics to more Filipinos, not one that merely gives dynasties a new way to stay in power,” David concluded.

I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. It is completely psychotic.
oh yeah, super funny to scare women with a real problem (harassment) just to pull off a prank 🥰 Some men call it “just a joke” because admitting they enjoy watching women feel unsafe would sound exactly as ugly as it is.
it’s crazy how the government is going to build pax silica in capas, tarlac when two bridges in tarlac recently collapsed due to the heavy rainstorm. instead of building better roads for their people, they’d rather focus on an ai data center. it shows where their priority lies
tangina nakakaiyak nangyayari sa pampanga. wdym sila na nga tong kawawa, sila pa tong kumikilos kasi walang ginagawa mga naka upo sa pwesto nila. tangina niyo po daig pa kayo ng mga volunteers tas yung iba students pa, di ba kayo nahihiya???
we arent shaming these Pampanga politicians enough! i dont think nababanggit sila na kasingdalas ng mga Remullas, Revillas, at Barzagas ng Cavite pero kasingsahol sila.
this is the current situation of our house in pampanga. walang rescue, walang tulong, walang kahit na ano!
— malamang may may mag c-ccomment bakit ayaw pa lumikas? ang pag apaw ho ay biglaan. napakataas na ng lugar namin compare sa iba pero inabot padin. nagpadala na din ako ng rescue ( sa sarili kong pera dahil walang aasahan sa gobyerno ) pina rescue ko na ang parents at ibang kapit bahay namin now.
HABAGAT PA LANG TO. PANO KUNG BAGYO PA? KUNG HINDI PA KAYO GALIT, BAKIT? GUMISING KAYO UTANG NA LOOB!!!!!
Stop glorifying Filipino resilience.
We should not be proud of how well Filipinos survive problems that should have been prevented in the first place.
Resilience is not a replacement for good governance. “Filipinos are resilient” should not be used to cover poor planning, failed flood control, and lack of accountability.
We do not need to be more resilient. We need a government that does its job.
