Long-Haired Men, Where Do You Get Your Haircut?

It's my first time growing out my hair (almost shoulder length), and I wanted to know where I can get the most value out of my money.

I imagine barber shops won't be able to handle hair this long?

Preferably near Ortigas or BGC area.

The commercial starts off with Ces drinking her morning coffee only to spit it out after she accidentally puts salt in it instead of sugar. The scene then cuts to the journalist striking a straw against the lid of a large statue of CoCo's signature milk tea cup while uttering curse words.

This is not the first time Teodoro criticized China’s rhetorics on the West Philippine Sea. In late August, after Chinese Coast Guard and maritime militia ships harassed, blocked, and used water cannons on Philippine ships on a resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal, Teodoro went on a tirade, warning against China’s “fake news” and “propaganda.”

Despite this, the OTS fact finding team was not convinced. “Hindi naman normal na kumain ng tsokolate, hirap na hirap at tinutulak pa nya ng tubig. Hindi mo kailangan ng tubig. ‘Yun talaga ang paniniwala nila, na hindi yun tsokolate,” said OTS administrator Undersecretary Mao Aplasca.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, September 21) – The ₱21,000 monthly salary of engineers in the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has become a stumbling block in hiring personnel, officials admitted to senators on Thursday.

During the Senate Finance subcommittee’s hearing on the proposed ₱729.76-million budget for Phivolcs next year, Senator Francis Tolentino asked about the 43 unfilled positions in the agency.

Phivolcs Director Teresito Bacolcol said this was due to lack of applicants.

“'Yung entry level positions namin, especially for 'yung nasa probinsya, would be Salary Grade 9 and kailangan may eligibility sila. Walang nag-a-apply kasi Salary Grade 9 is just ₱21,000. And kailangan po namin 'yung mga engineer, we have to train them for interpreting our seismic data,” Bacolcol said.

[Translation: Our entry level positions in the province are Salary Grade 9 and applicants need eligibility. No one is applying because Salary Grade 9 is only ₱21,000. And we need more engineers…]

He said the agency also has a high attrition rate because many employees would resign, transfer to another office, or retire.

Department of Science and Technology Secretary (DOST) Renato Solidum said they cannot just hire fresh graduates.

“'Yung requirement, kunwari engineer, geologist, ilang years na experience, one year experience, so hindi ka maka-hire ng fresh graduate diyan. Tapos hihingi ka ng ganoong requirement tapos ang sweldo mo ₱21,000. Maghanap na lang sila ng trabaho sa iba,” Solidum said.

[Translation: The requirements, for example engineers or geologists, need one year or several years of experience so fresh graduates can’t be hired. They’re going to ask for those requirements but the salary is only ₱21,000. They’ll look for different work.]

Tolentino said the agency should restructure to request a higher salary grade for its employees. Bacolcol agreed.

The Tolentino-led finance subcommittee approved the proposed ₱25.6 billion budget for the DOST and its attached agencies.

MANILA — The government will borrow P2.46 trillion to partly fund the P5.768 trillion national budget for next year, Rep. Stella Quimbo said Tuesday.

Some 43.32 percent of the 2024 national budget will come from borrowings, while the remaining 57 percent will be financed by local revenues, said Quimbo, senior vice chair of the House Appropriations Committee.

"From borrowings, it would be P2.46 trillion," she said during the House of Representatives plenary deliberations on next year's proposed budget.

Quimbo also said that the 2024 national budget sets aside resources for programs critical in accelerating the nation's growth.
