MAKING THEIR LOLA'S DREAM COME TRUE 🥹❤️ Uploader Karl Umale touched the hearts of netizens after sharing a heartwarming video of his 90-year-old grandmother, Corazon, enjoying her first international trip to Vietnam. Umale detailed that the 10-day trip was planned and funded by him and his brother, Kenn, to fulfill their grandmother's dream of traveling abroad. "Very fulfilling po sa aming mga apo ni lola na makita siyang masaya at makarating sa ibang bansa, since isa po 'yun sa dream nya at masayang-masaya rin po kami na nadala namin siya doon. Hoping na next time mas kumpleto pa po ang pamilya kasama si nanay at tatay," he shared in an exclusive interview with The Philippine STAR. Umale added that one of Corazon's favorite moments during the trip was their time in the scenic city of Da Lat, where she enjoyed visiting a puppy farm and soaking in the cool breeze.

So, it turns out, my theory was right: the Senate drama was all to protect Sara Duterte! The receipts in this interview with Senator Bato dela Rosa completely expose the real plot behind the entire Senate circus. 1. Did you hear him? He literally admitted on camera that one of his main reasons for "resurfacing" from his six-month hiding streak was because he knew an impeachment trial was coming. 2. He explicitly stated that they needed him to be the crucial "13th vote" to pull off a change of Senate leadership (the coup orchestrated by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano). Why? Because the Senate leadership controls the rules, the timing, and the schedule of when the chamber convenes. 3. This entire staged drama and leadership shakeup wasn't about saving Bato from the ICC. It was a highly coordinated, desperate stunt to install a cooperative Senate leadership that can stall, delay, and completely disrupt convening as an impeachment court for VP Sara Duterte! While the public was distracted by the chaos and the shootout inside the chamber, the real game was always about protecting the Vice President from her accountability era. They used Bato as a pawn to secure the 13th vote, changed the leadership, and are now using the drama to buy Sara time. They are NOT lawmakers anymore; they’re a full-blown defense team disguised as a Senate majority! 🙄

HANGGANG DIBDIB NA BAHA SA E. RODRIGUEZ Heavy flooding reaching waist-deep levels has stranded motorists and commuters along E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue corner G. Araneta Avenue as of Monday at 2:30 PM. In a video uploaded by Allan Lumalang, residents are seen braving the floodwaters while cars remain on the unflooded section of the road. "Ngayon lang ulit sumampa yung tubig sa part ng E. Rod. na 'yan. Bumabaha 'yung Araneta cor. E. Rod., pero 'di umaabot gaano sa area na 'yan, parang twice ko pa lang nakita since lumipat ako ng QC," he told The Philippine STAR. The motorist from Quezon City added that he chose to go home rather than navigate the floodwaters on his way to work in Manila, noting that the water levels had risen further when he checked the situation again at 3:30 PM. As of 2PM, PAGASA raised red warning level over Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon due to the southwest monsoon (Habagat). In this heavy rainfall warning, serious flooding is expected in flood-prone areas.

'Kung may dahilan kayo kung bakit ninyo sinimulan ang pangarap na ito, hawakan ninyo iyon' 🥺💗 Uploader Justine Imperial drew admiration online after sharing the story behind his decision to stop pursuing architecture and shift to nursing. Imperial shared that the moment that reshaped his path happened in 2021, when his grandmother suffered a mild stroke while also battling Alzheimer's disease at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to him, the family's struggle to navigate her condition during a time of limited access to professional help made him realize the absence of a health professional in their household. "During the pandemic, limited po ang interaction, kaya mahirap humingi ng tulong sa mga professionals regarding sa situation ni Mommy... Doon din nag-sink in sa akin na oo nga, wala kaming health-related professional sa family. Aside from losing my passion for Architecture, yung situation din namin ang naging turning point ko, kaya nag-shift po ako sa Nursing," he recalled. When asked about his message to his grandmother, Imperial said he dedicated his achievement to his grandmother, whom he lovingly calls "Mommy." "Para sa'yo ito, Mommy. Kahit hindi mo man masabi nang malinaw, alam kong ramdam mo at naiintindihan mo ang lahat. Ikaw ang isa sa pinakamalaking dahilan kung bakit ako lumaban at nagpatuloy," he said. Imperial also left a message for aspiring nurses who may be facing their own hardships while chasing their dreams. "Para naman sa mga future RNs at sa mga nangangarap maging nurse, lalo na sa mga dumadaan sa mabibigat na sitwasyon sa buhay, gusto kong sabihin na huwag kayong susuko. Minsan ang pinakamalalaking pangarap ay nabubuo sa gitna ng pinakamahihirap na panahon. Kung may dahilan kayo kung bakit ninyo sinimulan ang pangarap na ito, hawakan ninyo iyon," he added.

If you have kids or grandkids, you're probably aware of just how bad a lot of video games are. They often glorify sex or violence, reaffirm every secular viewpoint about the authority of the self, and promote contra-biblical ideas about social justice. In fact, I shared a few months ago about how most video game development college programs explicitly frame their goals in terms of educating developers who will pursue (culturally-approved) social justice themes. Well, my 17-year-old son wants to help change that. He has a passion for video game development and recently created his own game studio. He started teaching himself programming and game development when he was in third grade and has poured hundreds upon hundreds of hours into gaining expertise in these areas over the last decade--all on his own, in his free time. Over the last 9 months in particular, he's been solo developing his debut game for the market, Nitro Turtles! It's a party racing game about turtles that will release on March 10. Nitro Turtles will have 9 race courses, a speedrun mode with online leaderboards, and split screen/online multiplayer. If you don't play video games and you don't have kids or grandkids who do, check out the game trailer below anyway just for fun. But if you're a fan of indie games or have kids/grandkids who would enjoy playing this, please wishlist the game on Steam (Steam is the marketplace for computer games where Nitro Turtles will be released--he already has a demo up on that page where you can try it out).

MASYADO NA RAW KASING COMMON ANG TEDDY BEAR 🤣 Uploader Carolyn Abeto brought laughter to netizens after sharing a video of her father, Roger, surprising her mother, Cristina, with a Shrek stuffed toy instead of the usual teddy bear on Valentine’s Day. "'Yung Papa ko, talagang joker na 'yan. Walang araw na wala sIyang funny stunt na ipu-pull sa Mom namin. Actually 'yung Shrek na 'yan is pamana na ng older cousin. 'Yun pa talaga naisipan ni Papa na pulutin para i-pair sa pa-flowers and chocolates n'ya," Carolyn shared in an exclusive interview with The Philippine STAR. Together for almost 27 years, Carolyn described the relationship of her parents as a one-of-a-kind love that endures everything. "May times na nagkakaproblema kami sa bahay, but they never really let that get through them. Drinking buddies yan sila, talagang itinatagay lang nila yung problema rather than fighting. I never realized that the kind of love they have is a luxury... My Papa has been like that for years, makulit, super mapagbiro, and talagang Queen n'ya yung mama ko," she added.

SEN. BATO ATTACKS DDS VLOGGER MAHARLIKA. SUMMONS HER TO NEXT HEARING Yet another total clusterfuck for the Duterte camp as the Senate investigation into the supposed leaks from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency which allegedly pins President Marcos to drugs - gets derailed. Near the end of the hearing by the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, the vlogger Maharlika publically called out committee chairman Sen. Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa on a Facebook page post, accusing him of being paid by the Marcoses after the hearing didn't go so well in her and her camp's favor. Claire Eden Contreras, who goes by screenname Maharlika, is the central proponent of the Duterte-linked conspiracy theory which accuses President Marcos of being on a drug watch-list based on forged documents purported to be from PDEA. Not only was the conspiracy resoundingly refuted by members of the Philippine security establishment during the hearing, the witness supporting the documents also had his reputation destroyed a few days ago after it was revealed that he (Jonathan Morales) was discharged from PDEA after facing criminal charges. Now, the Duterte supporters led by Maharlika triggered Sen. dela Rosa (who was meant to be their political ally) to go into a long rant to defend his honor, then demanding Maharlika appear before the Senate hearing next week and threatening her with a warrant of arrest if she doesn't show herself. 👮‍♂️🚨

Senator Joel Villanueva, the master of double talk I once voted for Villanueva. I was a first time voter and he’s the young legislator running for Senate for the first time — to my disappointment, he turned out worse than the people we tried to replace with the supposed new blood. Following the Senate over the years, you will notice how he mastered the art of double talk. He will talk all these nonsense, only to vote Last Tuesday, this was evident. He said he agrees with the minority leader but concluded his statement with the exact opposite point. I invite you to watch the Senate plenary last Tuesday, you will see what I win. Ugh! Annoying! Beyond annoying. I cannot blame Senator Risa Hontiveros for saying that Dela Rosa-Cayetano motion was planned and with the Joel Villanueva viral videos… is it safe to say that he’s not just a part of it but might also be one of the masterminds? Why is he protecting Sara Duterte? Joel Villanueva is not making sense at all with all his excuses! The videos are clear! They didn’t ask him for procedural concerns, he was directing Imee Marcos. Lols! Also, there’s the other video of Robin Padilla saying “Hindi naman yan ang napag-usapan natin”. Ano ba ang napag-usapan? Remember how he buried the SOGIE bill as the majority leader? He started his speech by saying that he has a lot of LGBTQIA+ friends, he even dared to say that he has the utmost respect and love for them. Then, he moved to refer the bill to his committee after allegedly soliciting for letters from religious groups. Remember how he belittled the partylist representatives, as if that’s not what he started? Lols. Joel Villanueva turned out to be so much worse than the politician we despised in the past. Video: Bilyonaryo

At the end of the day, as I discussed with Jordan Peterson, there are just two games to be played, one real, one Woke. The real game is called civilization. The false game is called power. A long post/🧵: The real divide between Woke and not Woke is in power. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasite on the real game, which is civilization. Here's roughly how Jordan described the foundation of this idea. There are various rules, norms, etc., in the game society ultimately plays, and these create a hierarchy that is based upon competence, mostly organically, obviously imperfectly. If the rules of the game are good enough, the imperfections (natural corruptions) are minor and society thrives. If they are not, you'll have problems. This is the real game of building society, and it ultimately has to favor competence. This game must be called "civilization" because that's not just its goal but it is also what it does. It civilizes us beyond our base instincts and impulses so we can work together productively in a healthy manner that generates prosperity. As Jordan put it, this game is also a reservoir of value, and reservoirs of value create parasites. What are these civilizational parasites? They’re parallel games organized by and around malignant psychopathological modes like Dark Tetrad traits, psychopathy, and Cluster-B disorders: histrionic, borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic. These malignant pathologies render people incompetent except at manipulation, so they cannot rise far in a healthy civilizational hierarchy. What do they do, then, to gain power and status in life in a game they cannot actually play? They define a parasitic parallel game and rope people into playing it. It is parasitic in that it draws off the real game (civilization) and mimics its form so that the hosts (people in society) are less likely to realize it’s there, but it doesn’t build or create of its own. It siphons and tears down. What drives this game is failing to see what makes the civilizational game and the hierarchy it produces legitimate in the first place. This is characteristic of the psychopathologies at its heart. The narcissist imagines the world should be serving himself at the top, but it isn’t. The problem can’t be himself, so it must be that the game is illegitimate. Otherwise, he’d be at the top, but he isn’t. Therefore, the game is corrupt. His histrionic nature makes him a victim of the real game, preying upon emotions like empathy and righteous indignation to recruit followers. Because of his Dark Tetrad alignment, his game is not only illegitimate but toxic. It’s inherently sadistic, cruel to its recruits in the way typical of all cults—alternating punishment and leniency or even love-bombing. It’s dishonest. It’s psychologically broken from reality. It’s also a Machiavellian game, which means it has no interest in moral or ethical behavior but only in power. Thus, this rival game to the game of civilization is the game of power. The parasitic game—that is, the power game—is based on a fundamental failure to understand the legitimacy of the civilizational game or the approximately legitimate hierarchy it produces. This is a result of its narcissism, mostly. The game cannot be legitimate because the psychopath isn’t on top of it, where he sees himself constantly as a projection from his frail ego. It sees power in the real hierarchy, though, which it can perceive and understand, and for which it blames most of its troubles. What this means is that the (Woke) power game develops a critical theory of the existing legitimate civilization game. That’s why Woke means “using critical theory (and activism).” A critical theory exists not to articulate a vision—at least not beyond a Utopia after the cult power game holds power to enforce its power game long enough—but to “criticize those aspects of the existing society we wish to change,” as Max Horkheimer, creator of the Critical Theory, put it. The critical theory of the power game exists to recruit by delegitimizing the civilization game in the minds of some of its players, usually ones who aren’t succeeding as well. It picks at “contradictions,” failures, and imperfections while casting the whole civilization game as corrupt and unjust. It offers itself as the only alternative to civilization game while pulling at the threads of the civilization game that allow people to believe in it. It all proceeds from the Woke failure to understand the legitimacy of the hierarchy of the civilization game as it proceeds from its set of rules. Misunderstanding legitimacy leads it to conclude that all hierarchies are actually based in power, and all power is fundamentally arbitrary. That is, they do not believe all power is illegitimate. They believe power is the only legitimate thing in any hierarchy, but they also believe that power is located in persons like themselves through their narcissism and projection. Think of Voldemort as an icon of this mode of thinking: “there is no good or evil, only power and those too weak to seek it.” Of course, that quintessential Dark Tetrad perspective is what ensures the psychopathological power game will be rigged to make sure the psychopaths are attracted to it and rise to its top. This belief is what we call Woke. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasitic competitor to the civilization game. There is no overlap between these two games. To adopt the power game is to abandon the civilization game entirely and, in fact, to become its enemy. But James, you might ask, isn’t there power in civilization? Yes, there is, and necessarily, but it isn’t what defines the civilization game. It’s a byproduct of the game, not the game itself. The civilization game is fundamentally the building out of an organic and dynamic hierarchy based on a set of rules, or what some people call “muh principles,” that will succeed or fail for that civilization in direct proportion to three things. 1) How aligned with the truth are the rules of the civilization game? 2) How aligned with justice are the rules of the civilization game? 3) How willing are the participants of the civilization game to defend their principles and their game, including against socio-parasitical perversion? The more aligned with truth and justice a civilization game is, the more successful it will be, and the more legitimate its hierarchy. The power that results as a byproduct is extremely legitimate in a highly aligned civilization where people haven’t forgotten their charge to defend the game itself, which is what we call responsibility. A civilization game strongly aligned with truth and justice filled with a preponderance of responsible people will produce a thriving, prosperous society. It only works this way every time. Not everyone is responsible, though. Some are also incompetent because of various pathologies (not talking about for other reasons). Those pathological players may, under certain circumstances, create a parasitic side game with themselves on top through a variety of strategies that mimic the values and principles of the real game while distorting them into power plays because their game is power, as discussed above. They will recruit into that game primarily from those who are resentful of the real game for any variety of reasons, and getting recruited into the power game from the civilization game is called “going Woke.”

That’s why Woke means “using critical theory (and activism).” A critical theory exists not to articulate a vision—at least not beyond a Utopia after the cult power game holds power to enforce its power game long enough—but to “criticize those aspects of the existing society we wish to change,” as Max Horkheimer, creator of the Critical Theory, put it. The critical theory of the power game exists to recruit by delegitimizing the civilization game in the minds of some of its players, usually ones who aren’t succeeding as well. It picks at “contradictions,” failures, and imperfections while casting the whole civilization game as corrupt and unjust. It offers itself as the only alternative to civilization game while pulling at the threads of the civilization game that allow people to believe in it. It all proceeds from the Woke failure to understand the legitimacy of the hierarchy of the civilization game as it proceeds from its set of rules. Misunderstanding legitimacy leads it to conclude that all hierarchies are actually based in power, and all power is fundamentally arbitrary. That is, they do not believe all power is illegitimate. They believe power is the only legitimate thing in any hierarchy, but they also believe that power is located in persons like themselves through their narcissism and projection. Think of Voldemort as an icon of this mode of thinking: “there is no good or evil, only power and those too weak to seek it.” Of course, that quintessential Dark Tetrad perspective is what ensures the psychopathological power game will be rigged to make sure the psychopaths are attracted to it and rise to its top. This belief is what we call Woke. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasitic competitor to the civilization game. There is no overlap between these two games. To adopt the power game is to abandon the civilization game entirely and, in fact, to become its enemy. But James, you might ask, isn’t there power in civilization? Yes, there is, and necessarily, but it isn’t what defines the civilization game. It’s a byproduct of the game, not the game itself. The civilization game is fundamentally the building out of an organic and dynamic hierarchy based on a set of rules, or what some people call “muh principles,” that will succeed or fail for that civilization in direct proportion to three things. 1) How aligned with the truth are the rules of the civilization game? 2) How aligned with justice are the rules of the civilization game? 3) How willing are the participants of the civilization game to defend their principles and their game, including against socio-parasitical perversion? The more aligned with truth and justice a civilization game is, the more successful it will be, and the more legitimate its hierarchy. The power that results as a byproduct is extremely legitimate in a highly aligned civilization where people haven’t forgotten their charge to defend the game itself, which is what we call responsibility. A civilization game strongly aligned with truth and justice filled with a preponderance of responsible people will produce a thriving, prosperous society. It only works this way every time. Not everyone is responsible, though. Some are also incompetent because of various pathologies (not talking about for other reasons). Those pathological players may, under certain circumstances, create a parasitic side game with themselves on top through a variety of strategies that mimic the values and principles of the real game while distorting them into power plays because their game is power, as discussed above. They will recruit into that game primarily from those who are resentful of the real game for any variety of reasons, and getting recruited into the power game from the civilization game is called “going Woke.”

One criticism I always see towards games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto VI recently is the topic of small details. "Why does a game need so many details, it doesn't make the experience any better and takes longer to develop" While I do agree with the fact that Rockstar Games development schedules in between each release keep getting longer, the fact is that when you aim for such a high level of realism in a video-game, its not about graphics anymore, its about immersion. I'm sure that if you played RDR2, you know that your horse sweating or its balls shrinking in the cold don't add much to the gameplay itself, but it makes the game feel like its real. This is precisely what sets apart Rockstar Games from other game studios, the level of immersion you get in those games is unbeaten. RDR2, a game designed for the PS4 console has a level of fluidity and immersion that I have yet to see in a video-game from any other game studio, each game mechanic seems to work flawlessly that it feels like a living and breathing open world game. Hell, sometimes you feel bad for shooting an NPC which never happened to me in a video-game before. When you're playing it, hours can go by and you don't even. In other open-world games, sometimes you can notice limitations, for example the same NPCs appearing in one object or the same scripted conversations. RDR2 manages to make that gap of a video-game and reality feel thinner, not get rid of it entirely of course. Making such a massive game filled with tons of details means that it can be can be played for multiple years after its release and not feel outdated. Its not all about details of course, when a game takes so long to develop, the stakes get higher each time and Rockstar Games has to make sure that they deliver on the story that is being told too, hence the reason why their games have always been historically good in terms of writing. Now to address the elephant int he room, the main issue is that as the complexity increases for each new release and optimizing all of these systems to work in tandem, the development time increases and we get longer periods of waiting. Is all of this worth it? In my opinion, yes. Its Rockstar Games after all, they have the budget necessary and the talent to achieve this kind of feat. Not only does it raise the bar for what is possible to do in a video-game, but it also is highly rewarding when you play the game for the first time and its unlike anything you've seen these past couple of years. When I finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time, every new game that came out felt outdated for me. Just as technology keeps going forward, the same applies here with open world games too. What are your thoughts on this topic?

🚨 DJ Akademiks Repeatedly Plays The Game’s New Diss Track And Says The Lyrics Could Be A Warning To Kendrick Lamar 👀🎯 DJ Akademiks repeatedly played and reacted to The Game’s new track “No Brakes,” which appears to contain several interesting references that have fans speculating about who exactly The Game is addressing. While The Game has not explicitly confirmed that the record is aimed at Kendrick Lamar, Akademiks believes some of the lyrics could be connected to the ongoing Drake/Kendrick conversation. One of the biggest moments Akademiks repeatedly highlighted was The Game addressing people telling him to “pick a side.” 🗣️ The Game: “Nigga said, ‘Pick a side.’ Then I’m picking homicide.” Akademiks immediately took that as The Game answering the question of where he stands. 🗣️ Akademiks: “They told Game, ‘Pick a side.’ He picked homicide.” The track also contains several direct Drake references, including: 🗣️ The Game: “I want all the smoke with this Drake on my side.” “Me, Drake and a Drake, nigga, we the three amigos.” “Then I say I’m riding with a Drake in the ’12.” Akademiks repeatedly stopped the song to point out the Drake references, arguing that The Game appears to be making it very clear that he’s standing with Drake. Akademiks also revealed that he had recently spoken with The Game and questioned him about remaining quiet while everything was happening online. According to Akademiks, The Game told him the new record would essentially answer his questions — and Akademiks interpreted the song as his response. 🗣️ Akademiks: “I just wanted to know if he was picking a side. He sent me the record. I guess that’s the answer.” Akademiks then continued replaying the track, saying The Game sounded like he was “ready for whatever” and suggesting that the lyrics could be interpreted as a warning to anyone looking for a confrontation. He also praised The Game for being direct instead of giving interviews or explaining himself publicly. 🗣️ Akademiks: “Fuck an interview. This is how we get it done.” The repeated Drake references, the “pick a side” line and The Game’s history with Kendrick have all fueled speculation that there could be a deeper message behind the record. Akademiks even began imagining a potential music video being filmed in Compton with Drake, saying the track could represent a major West Coast moment. However, The Game has not publicly confirmed that “No Brakes” is specifically directed at Kendrick Lamar, so that connection remains speculation based on the lyrics and the current situation. For Akademiks, though, the message was clear: The Game was asked to pick a side and he believes The Game just answered. 👀 🗣️ Akademiks: “Did that nigga tell you he riding with a Drake? What else more he need to tell y’all?” 💭 My Thoughts: I definitely think The Game is dissing Kendrick 👀 The lyrics feel like he’s also warning other people about what he’s about to say. I’ve heard some of the other songs he’s working on… he is SPazzing. 🔥👀

Ive always wanted to post this whole conversation.. BIANCA' S PARENTS MUST HAVE AVAILED THE LIVESTREAM.. THATS WHY THEY NEVER judged DUSTIN. LIKE his haters did who probably watch it in Primetime, which is super edited or on tiktok vids who surely spliced it even more... to paint a certain narrative. He is just emotional of what happened.. Aminado nman silang lahat na sinadya nilang asarin sya ng paulit ulit. Kaya nya natawag na insensitive si michael kasi alam ng hurt na sya di pa rin tumitigil. ( even josh shared his experience with Michae and kira ) When he said di sya sanay sa ganun babae : putol lang kasi pero at the start of the video.. Dustin : ipaparinig mo na may gusto kang iba. my favorite part? How he explained "makakaapekto yun sa tingin ko syo." Dustin: ganun nman kasi talaga like yung actions natin.. for example sipain ko yan (cup tower) kahit sabihin kong joke lang nman anu magiging tingin mo sa kin? KUPS AKO. ginawa ko sya eh.. If anything this video proves kung gano nya talaga kagusto si Bianca from the start. Na before the incident puro positive lang yung nakikita nya sa kanya... and he was really happy. Natawa pa ko sa part na sabi nya.. Ienjoy na lang daw nya.. (stay sa PBB) di nman daw kailangan (lovelife) .. tapos sasabihin nyo sya ang may hanap ng loveteam... and sna na-air yung part na to.. Josh : outside ba di ka inaasar ng tropa mo? Dustin: inaasar nila ako sa gusto ko.. Hinde yung ganun.. Yung harapan tapos tropa tapos babae (na yung mga tropa nya tutuksuhin yung isa pa nyang tropa sa gusto nyang girl ) 😂 GETS?? he also mentioned that at that point.. they've had serious conversations na about family etc. Josh even asked if maingay pa din si bianca during those talks.. Dustin: TAHIMIK i also appreciate how he stopped talking when he noticed cameras were on him and how he said mabait si brenty. ( na di rin comfortable kay michael by the way eh first duo nya 😂) i hope everyone should see this.. the very conversation that has been blown out of proportion.. All villains have Backstories.. YES! but Dustin? he wasnt the villain...his backstory? makes him the victim.. Thank you sa pag edit sa primetime.. berigood kayo. #dustbia #dustinyu #BIANCADEVERA

SHARON CUNETA DEFENDS KIKO PANGILINAN FROM 'FAKE NEWS,' URGES SUPPORT FOR SENATE BID Megastar Sharon Cuneta spoke out against what she described as relentless fake news targeting her husband, former Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, as he seeks a return to the Senate. "Alam niyo po, ang tagal kong pinag-isipan kung papatulan ko pa ba o palalagpasin ko na lang 'yung mga paninira kay Kiko. Eh, wala hong tigil ang mga tsismis na peke naman tungkol sa kanya lalo po ngayon na siya ay tumatakbo ulit para senador," Cuneta said in a video message on Monday, February 24. She lamented the widespread influence of social media in spreading misinformation, particularly against political opponents. "Isa pa, ayon po sa mga social scientists, kapag daw ang isang kasinungalingan o fake news ay paulit-ulit pong pinagkalat at paulit-ulit pinakita sa inyo o sa taong bayan, maya-maya po, aba'y, mayroon na pong maniniwala. Ganun po kasi parang brainwashing, 'di ho ba?" she said. Emphasizing Pangilinan's integrity, Cuneta assured voters that in their nearly 30 years of marriage, he has been a devoted husband and father who always keeps his promises. "In our almost 30 years of marriage, si Kiko po ay walang ginawa kundi maging mabuting asawa at ama. Pag siya po ay nangako, talaga pong harangan mo ng sibat kailangan pong tuparin niya," she said. She reiterated his commitment to revitalizing the country's agriculture sector and lowering food prices, saying, "Isusugod ni Kiko ang agrikultura sa Pilipinas at gagawin ang lahat para pababain muli ang presyo ng pagkain. Promise po." Cuneta ended her message with a strong endorsement, urging voters to support Pangilinan. "Ito po, si Kiko Pangilina na po. Number one sa akin, number 51 po sa balota," she said.

Documentary for Sweet Baby Inc. game South of Midnight just dropped. - The video opens with a talk about "empathy for people who aren't like you." and the video ends with heavy talk about the importance of "representation." Make of that what you will. - Devs paint a picture of a passion project by the Creative Director, who grew up in the South, gone awry after MS money. Project in poor state of development, good devs with good intentions being ham-strung by poor hires and promotions not based on merit, and very poor community management. "There are many good people there." Here is a recap of what insiders have told me about Compulsion Games and South of Midnight: - We know the character, Hazel, was race swapped after SBI and Microsoft came on board. - The team that created their past celebrated title, "We Happy Few," is mostly gone, leaving after being disillusioned about changes after the XBOX MS and SBI involvement, studio politics, and more. - Promotion of non qualified staff to lead and management positions resulted in a mess of a project. "No idea how to make a game." - The community manager is known to be openly racist. K8E 🍉 is cited on one of the many incompetent staff promoted or hired into senior positions who does no actual work. A quick glance at the company page she manages, Compulsion Games, reveal virtually NO info about the game and consist of endless RETWEETS of DEI related matters and promotions about OTHER games and companies. (This is a repost of my former report and since then the company account has been focusing much more on the game, The CM has since relocated to BSky after going protected on X). - Devs paint a picture of a passion project by the Creative Director, who grew up in the South, gone awry after MS money. Project in poor state of development, good devs with good intentions being ham-strung by poor hires and promotions not based on merit, and very poor community management. "There are many good people there." My thoughts: This is a beautiful looking game, and I can really sense the passion in the Creative Director's thoughts. I really hope SBI and MS haven't ruined this game with DEI policies and by hiring SBI and that the gameplay matches the visuals. That said, I don't think we should support ANY game with SBI involvement: Identify as non-buynary. Sources: Multiple confirmed insiders from Compulsion Games, X posts via CM for South of Midnight.

I didn’t expect Crimson Desert to grow on me this much, but here we are. 🫢 After putting more hours into Crimson Desert and getting close to the ten hour mark, I’ll be honest: my opinion of the game has shifted in a much more positive direction. Combat feels significantly better now that I’ve unlocked more skills, exploration is a ton of fun, and while the story is basically nonexistent, I personally don’t mind since I’m not the type of player who needs heavy narrative to enjoy a game. I’ve also done a few puzzles, and so far I’m really enjoying them. I genuinely appreciate that the game does not hold your hand. Enough with the yellow paint in every modern game. Developers should just force us to actually think 🤣 I’m constantly unlocking or discovering something new every couple of minutes. The game is absolutely massive. On the technical side, most of the visual issues I had are now gone after turning off DLSS and playing at native resolution, along with lowering lighting from Max to Cinematic. One of these changes, or maybe both, made the game far more stable, and visually it now looks phenomenal. I still find myself stopping just to admire how beautiful it is. My rating has gone from a 7-7.5 to an 8.5-9, and based on what I’ve played so far, that jump feels completely justified. The overall takeaway is that Crimson Desert does not fully click until you unlock more of its systems. The early hours undersell it, but once combat, exploration, puzzles and the world open up, the experience becomes dramatically better. I also love this intro when you start the game or load a save. It gives the whole experience a special feeling and sets the tone perfectly every single time. :)

My rating has gone from a 7-7.5 to an 8.5-9, and based on what I’ve played so far, that jump feels completely justified. The overall takeaway is that Crimson Desert does not fully click until you unlock more of its systems. The early hours undersell it, but once combat, exploration, puzzles and the world open up, the experience becomes dramatically better. I also love this intro when you start the game or load a save. It gives the whole experience a special feeling and sets the tone perfectly every single time. :)

Out of the 24 jeepney drivers, I always make sure not to cry hearing their stories, but this one… this was the time that I could not control my emotions and tears anymore… Hearing his story really broke my heart. I still remember when we gave him the rice, he said, “Salamat ma’am, dadalhin ko po ito pauwi sa Martes.” I was confused, why Tuesday? Bakit hindi mamayang gabi pag uwi? And then I found out that he goes home to Laguna once a week to save money, and what really broke my heart is that he sleeps in his jeep at night just to have some rest… and from earning 1k, naging 300 na lang? Hindi ko talaga napigilan sarili ko. Ang sakit lang isipin na ganito yung reality ng iba na kailangan nilang tiisin yung pagod, gutom, at lungkot just to survive and provide for their family. Yung simpleng bagay para sa atin, sobrang laki na para sa kanila. It made me realize how blessed we are and how important it is to continue helping in any way we can. Hindi lang ito about giving, but also about understanding their struggles and being present for them kahit sa maliit na paraan. That moment will stay with me. It reminded me why we do this, why we should never stop, and what kind of community we are.

🎥🚨 Full transcription of Jorge Jesus' statements when asked about Cristiano Ronaldo in today's press conference ahead of their match against Denmark tomorrow... 🇵🇹🗣 Jorge Jesus: “Before answering the question, I want to make an interruption. For me, the most important thing, the most important thing, is the objective of what we have come here to do against Denmark. It is about respecting the opponent. We are going to play against a great opponent, with the ambition of continuing to win the Nations League. I don’t have one player, I have 23 players, and you can ask whatever questions you want about any player. But I’ll answer your question. As for Ronaldo, one question is not enough, three is too many. I will only answer two questions about Ronaldo, and then I won’t answer any more, because Ronaldo is not the main reason I am here. The main reason I am here is Denmark, and the fact that I am the national team coach. Now, to answer your question specifically. I have it memorised, but can you repeat it?” Journalist: “Whether coach Jorge Jesus agreed with Ronaldo on his playing time, and whether he refused to train yesterday with the national team.” 🇵🇹🗣 Jorge Jesus: “Well, it is true that I agreed something with him. But I didn’t only agree it with him. We also created a plan, as I did with Bruno Fernandes. I told Cris that he would not play in the game against Norway or the game against Denmark. He would not play because I believed that was the right thing to do. I worked with Cris for a year. I didn’t arrive at the national team three months ago and meet Cris. I worked with Cris for a year. I know his physical condition completely. I know because I already did this with him in Saudi Arabia. When there were games every three days, Cris rarely played. Furthermore, Cris never trains on the first day or the second day after a game. Never. He spent a year with me and never did. So, I agreed this with him. Before the game, I told him, and when we had our first press conference in Portugal, he also spoke about this. He said that whatever the coach wanted, whether he was asked to play or sit on the bench, he would sit on the bench. So, he never refused anything, and that is exactly what happened. But I am a coach who does not go to the bench thinking, ‘In 60 minutes I’m going to have Carlos Daniel,’ or, ‘In 70 minutes I’m going to have...’ That is not how I work on the bench. The game tells me what I am going to do. I thought that perhaps I had agreed with him that he would not play the first two games. But perhaps I would need him in the final minutes. However, the game dictated other things. It started telling me other things, and I did not put him on the pitch. That is the real point. And since I am talking about Cris, let me tell you something. I worked with Cris for a year. It seems as though there is some kind of issue between me and him. There is no issue at all. I have had issues with many players, but don’t turn this into an issue that does not exist. This was a coaching decision. I had a plan. If you want, I’ll also tell you about Bruno. Bruno, in the game against Norway, I told him... Bruno came after the game against... It was exactly the same. What does this tell you? It tells you something about the question I was asked earlier about a player having status, doesn’t it? Status is one thing. The rules are the same for everyone. Now, status allows the coach, or at least it does in my case, because of the players’ careers and what they have achieved, to be a little more careful about certain decisions before the game takes place. After the game takes place, it is the same. The coach has to make the decision. That is how I think, and I always make decisions based on one objective, which is what is best for the team, while always respecting the players..."
