For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

This is one of our flood control projects in Iloilo: a life-saving infrastructure that now protects thousands of Ilonggo residents from floods like those caused by Typhoon Frank in 2008.
This was built with the help of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) and constructed by Hanjin Heavy Industries of South Korea and China International Water & Electric Corporation.
The project includes widened river channels, better drainage, and new bridges built to withstand typhoons.
It stands today as proof that smart planning and international cooperation can protect lives and secure a city’s future.

Guys, CEBU IS NOT OKAY.
We’re not okay in Cebu.
SPREAD THE WORD!
We’re still flooded. Many lost their homes. Many areas don’t have electricity yet and signal.
Northern Cebu is still recovering, and then here’s another one.
SPREAD THE WORD!
JUST IN: Reports of an earthquake felt in different parts of Luzon are coming in at 12:18 p.m.
Did you feel it? Stay safe!

What I love the most about Super Junior is how proud they're when introducing themselves as Super Junior. No matter when they're present as full team, as subunit, or even as individual they're still introducing themselves as Super Junior. Complete with the signature greetings 🥹
Today is Keanu Reeve's 60th birthday.
You may not know that he was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident.
He has no bodyguards, no luxury houses.
In 2010, on his birthday, he walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway or simply eating a cupcake in NYC.
I think I’m realizing that I’m growing into the man I’ve always wanted to be. Thank you for all your lessons, support and love. I’m sorry again for those I’ve hurt on my journey here. And though I am human and there will be more stumbles along the way, I pray that we reach the end of this road together ❤️
“I know your decision was not easy, it’s my part to make you not regret it”
“Now it’s my turn, love you, hold you, give you all I got”
DAY6 taking their part and their turn for us, My Day🥹🍀

The question might seem trivial, but give it a moment’s thought:
Why does Venice 🇮🇹 float?
What does it rest on?
And, most importantly, why doesn’t it sink?
