@bncdotph when will this rule take effect?

UPDATE: Minors aged 18 and below are no longer allowed on the streets of Metro Manila starting 10 p.m., the Philippine National Police and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) announced on Monday, based on their "Safer Metro Manila Plan". "Kapag hindi nag-aaral o nagta-trabaho, (kelangan) proof of employment or education na nag-aaral sa oras na 'yon na pauwi kayo, bawal na kayo sa kalye after 10 p.m.," said Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla. Aside from this, authorities will now prohibit drinking and gambling on streets. Using videoke is also only allowed until 10 p.m. except on fiestas and if a permit is secured. | via @chedcgatchalian, bnc.ph

@ronsterd89 neat! that level of hand-carving on the cabriole legs and lion paws is no joke. gives it that classic, heavy antique feel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I made this how does it look?

😳 not a good idea. not in the Philippines 🇵🇭

@astropics buwan also means “month”

@astropics 🇵🇭 “Buwan”

How do you say "Moon" in your language?

@radarph_media can you provide us with a link to his detailed map, please? thank you!

An economics student from the University of the Philippines Diliman is drawing attention online after releasing what he calls the most detailed map of educational attainment in the country to date. Timothy Hormigos, a member of the UP School of Economics Registration Volunteer Corps, shared his project on Facebook, showcasing an interactive map that visualizes education data across more than 42,000 barangays using the 2020 Census of Population and Housing from the Philippine Statistics Authority. What makes the project stand out is its hyper-local lens: users can now see the dominant level of educational attainment in their own barangay, a level of granularity rarely presented in public data tools. Each barangay is shaded based on its most common attainment—from those who did not finish basic education to college graduates—with darker tones indicating higher concentrations. Hormigos noted that while national maps often flatten disparities, this version reveals a more layered story. “Cities and town centers tend to show higher rates of college graduates, while more remote areas struggle to produce even high school graduates,” he wrote, framing the map as a visual narrative of unequal access to education across the country. The interactive platform, accessible via a microsite, allows users to explore patterns “bawat barangay, buong bayan,” encouraging Filipinos to engage directly with data that reflects their communities. While Hormigos acknowledged limitations—particularly that the 2020 census was conducted during the pandemic and may have gaps—the project still offers one of the most granular looks at the Philippine population available today. The map has since sparked interest online, with many users calling it both eye-opening and overdue—proof that sometimes, the most powerful insights come not from national averages, but from the smallest units of society. #radarPH

@JeremyTate41 @RichHeydarian beautiful!!! happy Easter!!

This is what Holy Week looks like in Guatemala

St. Augustine tells us that a single tear shed at the remembrance of the Passion of Jesus is worth more than a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or a year of fasting on bread and water.

cant stop flatulence im in a cafe alone. at my age 50+ i dont care anymore. their senti songs from 80s-90s.. nothing clears the pipes like a power ballad from the era that raised us. playing now: “There’s no easy way to break somebody’s fart…” yeah right here ya go 💨

@jrhubbard @buitengebieden yes, i love that little girl’s reaction 🥰

@buitengebieden The attention of the young kids is wonderful. We need many more teachers like this one!

This is what knowing your physics well means.. 😉

@ThePunnyWorld tell him you’re under a lot of current pressure.

Saw my doctor today, he said "What's the problem?" I said "I keep feeling like I'm an ocean." He said, "Can you be more pacific?"

BREAKING: Philippine Foreign Affairs: Iran will allow safe, smooth, and swift passage through the Strait of Hormuz for ships flying the Philippine flag.

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?
