@PLDT_Cares I have heard that from your 6-8 agents today who wasted my whole afternoon. PM you? I have done it. Nothing was sorted out despite me providing everything needed. Nakakapagod kayo.

[Malou @maloueudela]

@PLDT_Cares should get the “cares” because after being asked by the same questions bu 6-7 CS agents via Messenger - my seemingly SIMPLE case remains unresolved.

This kind of stress is unnecessary.

LOOK: Close-up footages of short-lived lava fountaining at 06:02 PM and minor strombolian activity at 07:07 PM today, 06 April 2026, at the summit crater of Mayon Volcano, taken from Mayon Volcano Observatory. Effusive eruption at Mayon Volcano continues for the 90th consecutive day, generating incandescent lava flows, pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), or “uson,” and rockfalls. Alert Level 3 prevails over Mayon, and entry into the 6-km Permanent Danger Zone should be prohibited.

To think that we aren't just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space... changes everything.
​It all comes down to orbital mechanics: arriving at the precise location, at the precise moment.
​One tiny error... and it simply doesn't happen

LOOK: Footages of a very weak phreatic eruption at the Main Crater of Taal Volcano at 03:08 AM today, 06 April 2026, that lasted two minutes based on seismic and camera records. This event generated a plume that rose 200 meters above the crater lake as recorded by the Daang Kastila (VTDK) and Main Crater (VTMC) thermal cameras. Alert Level 1 prevails over Taal Volcano.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

Scientists have detected traces of nuclear activity in the West Philippine Sea. They found higher levels of a radioactive substance called iodine-129 in seawater samples from this area.

After testing 119 samples from different parts of Philippine waters, they discovered that iodine-129 levels in the West Philippine Sea were 1.5 to 1.7 times higher than in nearby regions. This isotope is almost always produced by human nuclear activities (like nuclear reactors or old weapons tests), so it acts as a clear sign of nuclear-related processes.

Most likely, ocean currents carried it from the Yellow Sea area near China. There, nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and leftover contamination from Cold War-era nuclear tests probably released it into rivers and the ocean, and it traveled hundreds of miles to reach Philippine waters.

Good news: the levels are very low and pose no danger to people, fish, or the environment.

This discovery shows how connected our oceans are and why countries need to work together to monitor and protect them. It's also a great example of important scientific work being done right here in the Philippines.

Petron owner Ramon Ang has a net worth of Php209.8 billion.

A billionaire wealth tax on Ang generates Php12.4 billion in revenue.

His remaining wealth will still be a huge Php197.4 billion.
