Philippines: a grade 9 student fired a gun inside the school, killing 3 students. Reports indicate he had been bullied about his haircut & called him ugly, though authorities have not confirmed whether this was the motive for the attack. Another lost soul ๐
just when you were ready to call it a day & go home because you were so tired, someone called & invited you out for dinner at the steakhouse. suddenly your energy went to the roof โก๐ thanks Cecilia ๐

Today, being Wednesday & with plenty of food, I shared some with the old man who drives me to work early & home late, seeing the joy on his face brought tears to my eyes.
He rarely smiles, but tonight I was able to make him smile brightly ๐ โจ

1/4 Today, I dealt with a kababayan who tends to make work more difficult, causing delays that affect my time. I will assume that she's dealing with personal problems which may be contributing to her grumpy behavior so I chose to respond with forgiveness & understanding.
3/4 I believe she has created problems for herself & now faces the consequences. Although I was frustrated, I ultimately feel sorry for her, as she seems to rely on anger and intimidation to appear powerful kababayan.
after this exhausting day, I treated myself then I received a heartfelt message. the appreciation lifted my spirits & made the meal feel very well deserved ๐

A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake in the Sarangani area disrupted the first day of classes in parts of Mindanao on Monday, forcing schools to suspend activities and triggering evacuations in offices, malls, restaurants, and other establishments.
At Mahayahay Elementary School in Davao Oriental, students and teachers were conducting their morning flag ceremony when the tremor struck. School officials said learners and personnel immediately followed earthquake safety protocols and evacuated to safer areas. No injuries were reported, but classes were suspended pending safety assessments.
The quake coincided with the opening of the school year, turning what was supposed to be the most-awaited return to classrooms into an emergency response exercise for many students.
In photos and videos that have surfaced online after the incident, extensive damage was seen in several commercial and public buildings, including a multi-storey structure where a Jollibee outlet on the ground floor was totally destroyed. Another clip showed a mall with cracked walls, fallen ceiling panels, broken glass, and other structural damage. Businesses, including malls and restaurants, temporarily halted operations while inspections were conducted.
DOST-PHIVOLCS also recorded an aftershock with a magnitude 6.7 near Balut Island, Davao Occidental.
Authorities continue to assess the extent of the damage and have advised residents to remain alert for possible aftershocks.
