Saan sulit bumili ng Washing Machine/Dryer combo, iyong hindi na kailangan i-sampay iyong damit pagkatapos?


Okay lang kahit mahal, hindi rin kailangang malaki. Noong tumingin kami dati sa mall na sa 45k iyong 8kg wash/ 5kg dry. Mayroon pa bang mas-sulit sa ganoon?

MANILA, Philippines — To rectify an “injustice” committed against someone who was only doing his job, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte on Monday urged the local police to reinstate a relieved policeman who claimed the convoy of Vice President Sara Duterte’s convoy was passing when enforcers stopped the flow of traffic on Commonwealth Avenue.

Duterte earlier claimed she was in Mindanao, denying she caused the traffic along the busy road.

Belmonte made the call to Quezon City Police District following her clarification with Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) acting chairman Romando Artes, who said that it is only normal to give courtesy for VIPs — like vice president — in public roads.

Belmonte stressed that she did not react at first when Executive Master Sergeant Verdo Pantollano was relieved by the QCPD, since she was under the impression the police officer had committed a wrongdoing by stopping traffic.

However, the mayor said she decided to speak up when Artes made the clarification.

“Following the clarification made by Chairman Artes, I feel that an injustice was committed against Pantollano and must be rectified, regardless of who the VIP was,” Belmonte said in a statement.

“The cop must be reinstated as he was simply doing his job,” she added.

Belmonte also noted that the MMDA did not relieve nor take any action against the personnel who were present during the incident.

MANILA, Philippines — Police are eyeing criminal complaints against a man suspected to be responsible for a video that showed motorists at a standstill along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City, allegedly due to the convoy of Vice President Sara Duterte.

Lt. Col. May Genio, commander of the Holy Spirit police station, identified the person as Janus Munar, whom she described as a staunch critic of Duterte, based on his Facebook posts.

“We are baffled why he was in the middle of the road and trying to agitate the motorists,” Genio said in Filipino during an interview over Radyo 630 dwPM.

Genio said they are eyeing a cybercrime complaint against Munar but clarified that an investigation is still ongoing.

Sought for comment, Munar vehemently denied that he was the one who took a video of the traffic along Commonwealth Avenue and approached a policeman who said they stopped the traffic to give way to Duterte.

“I am not the one who took the video and I am not in any way related to the one who took it,” Munar told The STAR.

In a statement posted on Facebook, Munar said the video was only sent by a friend through Facebook Messenger.

“As a concerned citizen, I posted it because I want the public to know that to stop the traffic for a VIP to cross is a little excessive,” Munar said.

Vice President Sara Duterte branded those opposing confidential funds as "enemies of the nation," as they also supposedly oppose peace by questioning or preventing the budget allocation.

Duterte defended her offices' proposed confidential funds for the 2024 budget in her speech on Wednesday, October 4, during the celebration of the 122nd Police Service Anniversary in Butuan City.

MANILA, Philippines – Three Filipino fisherfolk died after an “unidentified commercial vessel” rammed a Filipino fishing boat passing through the waters off Bajo de Masinloc or Panatag Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.

According to an initial report from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), a surviving crew member of the fishing boat Dearyn said their mother boat was rammed at around 4:30 am on Monday, October 2, while it was preparing to fish some 85 nautical miles northwest of the shoal. The mother boat sank, killing three of its crew members including its captain.

While it may seem like a fun trend to hop on, numerous Filipino netizens have voiced their criticism of those who paid for their photos but denounced GMA Network’s controversial AI sportscasters the week prior. 

Some X (formerly Twitter) users also pointed out that the app’s use of generative AI – similar to AI art generators – discredits and impedes the work of actual creatives who have spent countless hours perfecting their craft. This is especially given that users are required to pay a hefty fee of P299 for these yearbook photos.

“Effective ng October 8 at 1 in the morning, effective ang increase na provisional remedy. Piso lang po. Ibig sabihin ng provisional, temporary lang ito hanggang hindi pa nagi-improve and price ng gasolina,” said LTFRB chairperson Teofilo Guadiz III in a brief interview.
