Experts blame a compounding "learning gap" that begins early, warning that without urgent intervention, the nation faces a generational crisis in workforce readiness. #PHEducation #DepEd #schools
A giant Chinese Coast Guard vessel deliberately blasted a water Cannon on a small boat inside the Philippines lawful waters.
The stupidest thing: China wants the world to believe this tiny Filipino vessel is a threat to China.
Twice every year, Bongbong Marcosโ admin shortchanges our PhilHealth. More than a hundred million of us members are deprived of multibillion pesos in health insurance benefits.
The first shortchanging occurs in the annual national budget. BBMโs admin never allocates the full amount required by law.
The second shortchanging occurs the rest of the year. BBMโs admin never releases PhilHealthโs entire approved budget.
Result: PhilHealth runs a deficit for indirect contributors โ indigents, retirees, rebel returnees. Direct contributors cover the deficit. In the end, all suffer insufficient health care.

If anything, Han Megumi really did an amazing job in voicing Kana here...
It's so outstanding that you can literally tell and feel how heartbroken Kana was after being rejected and avoided by her first love Aqua ๐

Can you believe, China calls this " law "enforcement activity"!
According to China, two massive Coast Guard ships blasting water cannons on a small Filipino fishing boat inside Philippines's territory, is not just "justified" but also "lawful"
Today during evening ward rounds, I almost had a full verbal argument with an attendant.
The kind that stays with you long after duty ends.
A 39-year-old woman.
Eyes so yellow they didnโt look real.
A distended abdomen, tense with fluid.
She had been admitted 3 days ago.
She came with her elder sister.
No male attendant.
No money.
They told us they couldnโt afford tests.
So we helped activate Ayushman.
All investigations were arranged free.
Her reports were alarming:
Bilirubin: 21 (normal โ 1)
Hemoglobin: 6.1
Liver enzymes (AST,ALT) badly deranged
This wasnโt โjaundice that will settle.โ
This was serious liver disease.
Treatment was started.
The next day, her husband arrived.
The sister was sent home.
He asked only one question again and again:
โWhen will she be discharged?โ
โThere are children at home.โ
โShe needs to take care of the house.โ
We explained calmly:
This is not a minor illness.
Recovery is slow.
Evaluation takes time.
He looked angry.
We did an ultrasound.
In simple words, we explained to him:
Her liver is enlarged.
There are signs of hepatitis.
And the main vein carrying blood to the liver may be blocked.
(When that vein is blocked, blood backs up, fluid collects in the abdomen, and the liver slowly fails.)
We sent viral markers.
Hepatitis A, B, C, E.
HIV.
Leptospira.
Scrub typhus.
Conservative treatment continued
because in this situation, aggressive treatment can do more harm than good.
Then we advised one more test:
CECT abdomen.
Thatโs when he snapped.
โYou doctors are only doing tests.โ
โI donโt have money.โ
"I am tired of running around."
"Whatever happens to her let it happen, i can't do more than this"
We explained again:
All tests are free under Ayushman.
Money is not the issue here.
And it's not been 2 days, this kind of presentation needs a detailed workup
This CT will decide whether the vein is blocked or not.
And treatment depends on it.
The CT was done.
Today, the report came.
Cirrhosis of the liver
Her bilirubin had improved from 21 to 17.
Yes, there were signs of improvement.
But cirrhosis is chronic.
It needs time.
And more evaluation to find the cause.
We explained this gently.
Thatโs when he said:
โNo more tests. Iโm taking my wife home. Today.โ
Negotiation failed.
Reasoning failed.
And thenโฆ I lost my calm.
In front of others, I said:
โSo youโre basically killing your wife.โ
โIs that because you want to get married again?โ
He froze.
He wasnโt expecting that.
Maybe no one had ever said it out loud before.
After a long silence, he agreed to stay.
I donโt know for how long.
But today reminded me of something medicine never teaches you:
Sometimes the disease is not the biggest threat.
Sometimes itโs
impatience, denial, and abandonment
from the very people the patient depends on most.
In times like this, all we need is patience.
Because if our loved ones abandon us when we are sickโฆ
who will stay?
Horrific.
A newborn baby girl in Thailand was discovered in a toilet tank.
A cleaner found her crying.
Her hands were wrinkled from being in the water for hours.
It is a miracle she survived.
We must continue to uphold the dignity of babies
No child deserves to be treated like this.
although it may not have won, Demon Slayer is the first shounen anime to have been nominated for a Golden Globe category.
this is a huge win for anime and Demon Slayer๐ฉท
thank you so much Ufotable and to all the fans!๐๐ธ
Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Star Tribune
โThereโs nobody else in his life,โ the boyโs grandfather said. โIโll drive. Iโll fly. To come get my grandchild.โ https://t.co/KNy7fbMIFW
My biggest wish ?
โTo have my own warm home, and a job that suits me. To do all the things I've dreamed of. To be fine, with a calm mind, free soul, peaceful heart, and eyes without tears. To just live a simple quiet life, nothing more..โ
China = Pirates!
China illegally intrudes into our EEZ, stealing our natural resources, damaging corals & harming marine life using barbaric methods like cyanide & electrofishing.
China has no right to turn our lawful waters into dumping grounds.
We must not tolerate this rubbish.

Near the shores of Panama City Beach, a giant manta ray thrashed against the pull of a net as a crew dragged her from the ocean. Tourists watched, horrified. The ray, protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, had not been accidentally caught. She was deliberately targeted, wrestled onto a boat, and shoved into a plastic tub
The company responsibleโDynasty Marine Associatesโhad a permit. Thatโs how this was legal. With a Marine Special Activity License, businesses can remove endangered species from the wild for โexhibitionโ and โeducation.โ2 This license was used to send the manta ray to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, where she will live in confinementโif she survives at all
