future historians are going to have a nightmare trying to explain why we ran out of drinking water because we needed to cool down the machines generating 4K AI fruit videos
It's always Taylor Taylor Taylor with Livies. Is Olivia and her music THAT boring that you cannot form discussions around the two without bringing up Taylor?
i know people get real feisty when you criticize their faves but zendaya having law roach take a private jet to europe just to pick up a dress for her to wear the same evening AND THEN wearing stolen ancient iranian artifacts as earrings…
it leaves a bad taste in my mouth
the saddest part of Olivia’s career is her entire existence is reliant on being “younger” and “cleaner” than anyone else which works right now but gives her a very clear expiration date
An indigenous rights advocate has raised concerns after reports that several Ayta residents who appeared in Kara David's newest I-Witness documentary were allegedly summoned by local officials in Subic, Zambales following the program's broadcast.
The July 11 documentary, "Ibinasurang Paraiso," examined an alleged illegal dumpsite in Sitio Tibag, Naugsol, an area within Ayta ancestral lands. Residents interviewed in the report spoke about the site's alleged impact on the environment, nearby bodies of water, and their community.
On Facebook, indigenous rights advocate Evangeline Rodriguez questioned the alleged summons: "Kung ang impormasyong ito ay totoo, mariin naming itinatanong: Ano ang layunin ng pagpapatawag? May nagawa bang mali ang mga katutubo sa pagsasalita ng katotohanan?"
Rodriguez said Ayta residents have the right to speak about issues affecting their health, environment, livelihood, and ancestral lands, adding, "Ang kanilang tinig ay hindi dapat patahimikin, takutin, o pigilan."
She also stressed that freedom of expression is protected under the Philippine Constitution, while the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act recognizes the rights of indigenous communities to defend their culture, ancestral domains, and other rights.
"Ang pagsasalita sa isang lehitimong mamamahayag at pagbabahagi ng katotohanan sa isang dokumentaryo ay hindi paglabag sa batas," Rodriguez said, adding that telling the truth in a democratic society should never become grounds for intimidation or harassment.
She argued that if any investigation should take place, it should focus on the allegations surrounding the dumpsite and its reported environmental impact, rather than on the indigenous residents who spoke about their experiences.
"Kung may dapat man imbestigahan," she said, "hindi ang mga katutubong naglakas-loob magsalita, kundi ang mga pangyayaring naging dahilan kung bakit may mga reklamo ukol sa ilegal na dumpsite at sa pinsalang idinulot nito sa kalikasan at sa pamayanang katutubo."
As of writing, the Subic local government has yet to publicly address the allegation that the residents had been summoned.

On other news, kudos to mam @karadavid and the @IWitnessGMA team for exposing this. Nakakalungkot. Hopefully one day the government seeks a way fo introduce waste to energy solutions in the country. But also educate the people on proepr waste management. 😞
Nag smirk pa talaga si Atty.
Tapos gusto niya pang mga Aeta ang pupunta sa patag to relate ano ang additional needs nila doon.
Sir, may tinatawag na needs assessment, site visit and assessment. ASSESSMENT AND CONSULTATION ang gawin niyo.
Nakakagigil kayong mga potaena niyo?
The way this song was ingrained in a lot of late 2000s Filipino kids/teens, Taycountry was so beloved.
Even Maris Racal and Jane Oineza know the lyrics word by word.
There's something very racist about smearing a black man you don't know just because you have an irrational hatred towards a woman. This is the groom, btw.
