‘MAY NAGIGING BASEHAN NA SI BISE PRESIDENTE’
Palace Press Officer Usec. Claire Castro reacted to the brief statement of Vice President Sara Duterte on Tuesday.
“Ating nadinig at napanood ‘yung sinabi niya, ‘In this bloodbath and bludgeoning, I will be bloodied but unbowed.’ Meron siyang naging basehan at nakita rin natin ‘to sa social media, mula kay William Ernest Henley, ‘Invictus,’” she said in a press briefing on Wednesday.
“Ikinatuwa natin sa ngayon may nagiging basehan na si Bise Presidente ng kanyang mga sinasabi,” Castro added. (Screenshots/RTVM)

"The country does not need more 'successful' people who are pleasant, polished, and harmless. It needs people who are difficult to fool, difficult to buy, difficult to discourage, difficult to turn indifferent."

A small detail that caught my attention:
Alex Eala’s Nike Wimbledon kit carries both Globe and BPI sponsor patches.
Nike is known for being very selective about third-party branding on its tennis apparel, which makes Alex’s Globe and BPI patches particularly noteworthy. This appears to be a rare exception to Nike’s usual branding approach. For a player still early in her career, it’s another indication of Alex’s growing commercial appeal—and the confidence that major brands already have in her. 🇵🇭🎾

i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
The act itself does not move me, but In a world of 8 billion finding the other person who is the same sort of insane to do with with you is terribly romantic
