“In four years, I will be 60. It’s just a big stage, I decided to retire some of my songs.
So, some of my songs you heard tonight, you probably won’t hear them anymore. I won’t probably sing them anymore. Why? Because I can’t anymore, I don’t have that voice for them anymore.”
ATE REGINE NAKAKAIYAK KA SHUTANGINA KA!!! MAHAL NA MAHAL KA NAMIN!!! WALA KA NA DAPAT PATUNAYAN PA 😭😭😭
Let us call this what it is! A foreign ambassador, on Philippine soil, before Filipino journalists, telling Filipinos that his country "may easily win" if it chooses to use force against us. That is not reassurance. That is a direct threat, and wrapping it in "we love peace" does not change what it is.
Ambassador Jing Quan is a guest in this country. We received him, accredited him, and extended to him every courtesy owed to a diplomat. A guest who reminds his host that he could easily beat him up, but has graciously decided not to, is not describing friendship. He is threatening the very country that received him and asking us to be grateful for it.
He says we should "feel fortunate" to have a neighbor like China. Our fishermen driven away from Bajo de Masinloc do not feel fortunate. Our Coast Guard personnel water-cannoned, rammed, and lasered in our own exclusive economic zone do not feel fortunate. No people feel fortunate when a larger neighbor repeatedly violates the law and then tells them to be thankful it was not worse.
The threat or use of force is prohibited under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. China's claims in the West Philippine Sea were ruled without legal basis by the 2016 Arbitral Award.
The Philippines does not measure its rights by the size of its neighbor's military. We measure them by international law. Not using force against a country whose rights you are already violating is not peace. It is coercion by other means!
By way of diplomatic language, you can please easily leave Manila and go back to China.
We do not need foreign guests in the form of arrogant, condescending diplomats.
yes, and grabeng stress nakuha ko jusq po jusq po never uulitin
please lang, wag na wag magreresign nang walang backup plan unless may emergency fund kayo na enough to cover at least 6 months of your expenses. ang shitty ng job market ngayon na kahit may years of work experience ka na, di guaranteed na mabilis kang makakahanap ng next job.
if kaya, secure your next job first bago mag-resign. better safe than sorry talaga, lalo na sa economy ngayon.
CPAs are not born. They are made.
Made through sleepless nights, sacrifices, silent battles, and prayers. 10 days left, future CPAs! 🥹 Trust the work you’ve put in, trust God’s timing, and keep going. Your turn to put those three letters after your name is coming. 🤍🙏🏻
unpopular opinion: hindi dapat achievement ang pagiging sanay sa toxic workplace, unpaid overtime, at sobrang baba ng sahod. hindi porket kinaya mo, ibig sabihin tama na. we need to stop romanticizing suffering just because we're used to it.
