MANILA — The Roosevelt Station in the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 will be renamed as Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ) Station beginning Sunday, Aug. 20.

“The train operator was able to immediately apply the emergency brake when the passenger jumped on the tracks,” said Transportation Assistant Secretary for Railways Jorjette Aquino.

Auditors raised concerns that the cash assistance released under the 4Ps program have possibly gone to families who do not belong to the poorest sector, or those included in the Listahanan.

May fee na pala BPI to GCash cash in. Pati rin ba ibang banko may charge na rin?

“However, since its establishment in the country, the laws governing the BPO industry have not adequately adapted to meet its increasing demands, leading to various challenges. As a result, BPO employees find themselves at the mercy of a results-oriented industry.” Lapid said.

“This situation exposes them to high levels of stress due to heavy workloads and stringent performance standards. They also face insufficient breaks and sudden changes in shift schedules. In an intensely competitive work environment, the health and safety of BPO employees have been compromised due to unrealistic expectations,” he added.

The new directive resulted in confusion among some teachers, who noted the long-standing practice of putting up posters and educational materials on classroom walls, with some arguing that decorations make learning more conducive, especially for younger students.

Found this earlier while cleaning the room and getting rid of old clutter.

Back when Solar had a bajillion channels.

Reserved channels, off the top of my head, were WOWOW, Eurosport, Basketball TV HD, and I think Star Sports.

In other parts of the world, eating alone was especially frowned upon for women, who were thought to be “selling their services,” for the lack of a better term. As late as the 1960s, establishments banned those who didn’t come with a male companion—and even when these restrictions were lifted as they entered the workforce, men were often relentless, bothering them when they so obviously didn’t want to be disturbed.

Needless to say, there seems to be something so scandalous about someone—more so, a girl!—who is so sure about who she is that she would choose to keep herself company. This security I feel in my independence, this exercise in agency is one of the best benefits I get from dining by myself. I’m an only child, which somehow comes with the innate talent of knowing how to keep busy without relying on anyone’s availability or attention. Though I accept (and enjoy!) all offers to hang out with old friends and meet new people, I take pride in the fact that I will survive if plans are canceled at the last minute and can stomach being around no one else without feeling FOMO.

It’s currently unclear whether the unavailability of the Instagram page is also the result of a user report leading to deletion.

Currently, the Philippine government spends for 100% of the pensions of retired military and uniformed personnel. Spending on pensions, as of 2022, has already outpaced maintenance, operating expenses, and capital outlays.

Another controversial point is automatic indexation, which means retired personnels’ pension is automatically adjusted to that of their equivalent ranks in active service. This means that if the salaries of those actively in service increases, so do the pensions.

Finance Secretary Ben Diokno earlier warned of a “fiscal collapse” should the system remain unchanged.

Citing the possibility of ”serious irreversible harm” on the environment and residents, the Supreme Court has issued a writ of kalikasan against mining operations in Brooke’s Point in Palawan, insinuating both the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and Ipilan Nickel Corp. (INC) for failing to act on requests to investigate the mining operations conducted by Celestial Nickel Mining and Exploration Corp. (CNMI) and implement a cease and desist order issued by the DENR last year.
