THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:
Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.
WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!
ralph: may nameet ka na bang tao na performative?
joy: i used to have that mindset when it comes to people but i’ve also learned na mali siya in a way. if we’re gonna label people, we’re also restricting them from becoming their full selves or from them to achieve their full capabilities as a person

Step 1: The "Policy" Pivot
Don't say "No." It feels defensive.
Blame the system.
"I keep my financial information confidential as a personal policy. However, I’m happy to share my salary expectations for this role based on the market value and the scope of work."
It’s professional, firm, and shuts down the request without being rude.
Interviewer : "Why is there a gap in your CV?
Don't Say :
❌ "I was laid off"
❌ "No one would hire me"
Career gaps are more common than you think.
And they are not automatic red flags.
Sometimes you need space, family time, healing, school, or simply a moment to realign your career path.
What matters most is how you communicate your story and the value you bring as you return to the workforce.
Here are clear, confident answers you can use:
✅ Sample Answer 1 (Personal reasons):
"I took time away to support my family and manage important personal responsibilities. During that period, I focused on personal development, and now l'm ready to return with clarity and renewed commitment."
✅ Sample Answer 2 (Planned break):
"| intentionally stepped back to reset and gain clarity on my long-term goals. That time allowed me to refocus, upskill, and now l'm excited to bring that perspective into my next role."
✅ Sample Answer 3 (Health reasons):
"I experienced a health situation that required my full attention. I gave myself the time to recover and prioritize my well-being, and I'm now fully prepared and energized to reenter the workforce.!"
✅ Sample Answer 4 (Layoff):
"My role was impacted during company restructuring. Rather than rushing into the next thing, I used the time to upskill, reassess my strengths, and prepare intentionally for the next step in my career."
Keep your answer brief, positive, and focused on how you're moving forward.
If you're sexually active, especially skin-to-skin, do these tests at least once every year:
1. HIV
2. Hepatitis B
3. Hepatitis C
4. Chlamydia
5. Gonorrhoea
6. Syphilis
Test more often if you have more than 1 partner. And test whenever you have a new one.
"I love you" is fine, not enough!
I don't understand why so many people want US, UK, Canadian, or German citizenship.
