As I get older I realize that putting too much stock into real people as “heroes” or “good guys” is folly but this is so genuinely upsetting and disheartening. I feel so bad for his targets. Absolutely monstrous.

This is one of the most upsetting and horrific things I have ever read - which is saying a lot in the year 2025.

Fuck Neil Gaiman. https://t.co/lLRqBXhw8A

I have remained relentless on my vision for the country , my family and the people.

To each,” Winston Churchill would say, “there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents.

What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.

[Tony Leachon MD @DrTonyLeachon]

Dear @bongbongmarcos ,

History will remember the legacy of every president not by their rhetoric, but by the lives they changed and the impact they left behind.
The late President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III will forever be celebrated for the Sin Tax Law , which provided the critical lifeline that funded health programs for the poor.

President Rodrigo Duterte will be remembered for the landmark Universal Health Care (UHC) Law , which promised every Filipino the right to accessible and quality healthcare.

But what will history say about President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.?

If the 2025 General Appropriations Act is signed as is — with 90 billion in diverted PhilHealth funds, zero subsidy for healthcare, and inadequate prioritization of the UHC Law — his administration will be etched in the annals of history as the one that turned its back on the sick, the suffering, and the dying.

Mr. President, imagine the faces of those you serve:

- A mother cradling her feverish child in the corridors of an overcrowded hospital, unable to afford even the most basic medication.

-A farmer in the provinces walking miles to a rural health center only to be told there are no funds for his dialysis sessions.

- An elderly man who contributed to PhilHealth all his life, now begging for help as mounting hospital bills eat away at his family’s savings.

These are not just statistics. These are real people — your people — who are crying out for help, for dignity, and for hope. Yet, this proposed budget turns a deaf ear to their suffering. While they endure sleepless nights, skipping meals to make ends meet, the government is poised to deprioritize healthcare in favor of unprogrammed appropriations and the Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP).

When your administration diverted 90 billion from PhilHealth to unprogrammed appropriations, you signaled that healthcare is not a priority. When the government allocated zero subsidy for healthcare in 2025, you placed millions of Filipinos at risk, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. When the cries for support from those who depend on the Universal Health Care Law were met with silence, you betrayed the promise of a healthcare system that is meant to be universal, accessible, and equitable.

This is not about politics anymore Mr. President. This is about lives, Filipino lives. This is about mothers, fathers, children, and grandparents who will not survive another year of neglected healthcare. This is about patients sharing beds in government hospitals because there is no funding for better facilities. This is about the thousands who die preventable deaths every year because there is no medicine, no doctor, no system to catch them when they fall.

Mr. President, this is your moment!

You stand at a crossroads, and your decision on this budget will define your presidency. Veto the 2025 GAA and prioritize the health and dignity of the Filipino people.

Show them that you are a leader who values life over luxury. Show them that you are a president who listens to the cries of the suffering. Show them that you will honor the trust of every Filipino who pays into the system, believing it will be there when they need it most.

Do not let your legacy be one of indifference. Do not let history remember you as the president who allowed the healthcare system to crumble when it needed leadership the most. This is your chance to rise above politics and prove that you care for the Filipino people, not just in words, but in actions.

Mr. President, choose the path of compassion, integrity, and justice. Rewrite your legacy by leading with courage and putting healthcare where it belongs — at the forefront of this nation’s priorities. Do it for the sick. Do it for the poor. Do it for the millions of Filipinos who trusted that their government would not abandon them.
Let history remember you as the president who stood for the people, not the one who turned away from them in their time of greatest need.

Ever since I got scammed by the AirAsia Superpass, which I wasn't able to use because none of the flights I tried to book were available, I never considered AirAsia as an option again. Plus, their customer service is nonexistent. #NeverAgain

Now that I have completed my master's, I am just excited for what's to come.

[Ssen Sei @ssen_sei]

Didn’t know there was such a thing. When I took the boards, I didn’t wear any red, didn’t break my pencils, didn’t kick the chair. Haha I guess I just wanted to prove that my hard work and my prayers were enough to defy any superstition.

I've asked one of my cpa classmates kung kanino siya nagpatasa.

"Di ba sabi, ipatasa sa cpa? Kaya ako na nagtasa."

Right then and there, I admire his confidence. Most of us don't have this. Perhaps things will be easier if we will believe in ourselves.

Just yesterday I learned somebody I grew up with was arrested for drugs. At 29, his life will never be the same. I feel really sad for him and his family. It makes me reflect on my own life and decisions as well.

I take no shame in listening and actually liking Freddie Aguilar songs from back when his songs invoked activism and awareness to social issues.
