So what? It’s just going to go into the pockets of corrupt politicians. The people need their money now.

Adorbs!

A free Filipino-made mobile app that tracks grocery spending without spreadsheets or paper notes is finding its way into budget-conscious households with rising living costs. Developed by Yancie Troy Saludo, GroceryBudget helps users track expenses as they shop, allowing them to stick to a budget, add items in real time, and monitor remaining funds on the go without relying on mental math in crowded store environments. The app lists price comparisons for similar items across different stores and notes how much a user paid for a product while also offering weekly or monthly spending reviews through built-in charts. It also works offline, an ideal feature for users in supermarkets with weak signals. GroceryBudget features a camera and voice input tool that allows users to make an entry without manually typing. GroceryBudget is currently only available on iOS, but an Android version is already in development. As fuel prices rise, logistics and transport costs have pushed grocery prices higher, making budgeting tools more relevant for everyday consumers.

Happy birthday, Lino Brocka. Brocka was an influential activist and filmmaker whose brave work blended melodrama and social realism to rally against the injustices of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship, despite heavy censorship. His work includes classics such as ‘Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag,’ ‘Insiang,’ ‘Jaguar,’ ‘Bona,’ ‘Macho Dancer,’ and ‘Orapronobis.’ He was posthumously honored as a National Artist for Film in 1997.

A long-standing Mercury Drug branch along Buendia in Makati has officially closed, marking the end of a familiar stop for generations of workers, commuters, and residents in the city’s central business district. Signage at the site confirms the branch permanently shut down on April 1. Located near the former Crispa site and beside Tropical Hut, the store had been a constant presence for decades, serving office crowds from nearby buildings and BPO hubs. For many, the branch felt like a time capsule to the 90s, with only minimal improvements over the years. Its layout, fixtures, and overall feel remained largely unchanged, adding to its familiarity but also hinting at its age. Online, former patrons shared how the branch was part of their daily routines. Some recalled buying quick snacks before shifts or while waiting for buses bound for Cavite and Quezon City. Others remembered stopping by during review classes, hospital visits at Makati Medical Center, or early days in their careers. While no official reason for the closure was disclosed, it is unlikely tied to weak business. The area remains busy, and the branch itself served a steady stream of customers.  More likely, its closure reflects the condition of the building, which had seen little to no major upgrades. The company has directed patrons to nearby locations, with several other branches operating within roughly a one-kilometer radius. It was the kind of place people didn’t think twice about until it was suddenly gone. A quick stop before work, a reliable fallback after a long shift, a small but steady part of daily life in the district. Now, it takes a piece of old Makati with it.

My column today: Assuring the nation there is a sufficient supply of oil products is wrong when we know our inventory level is precarious. Such assurance will bite back BBM and DOE if our supply dries up as the war extends. philstar.com/business/2026/…

My column now: The problem is the inability of the government to properly distribute the assistance. Same old story of leakage, corruption and incompetence. That’s why it is better to cut the taxes and give relief at the pump. philstar.com/business/2026/…

Cebu City Government is officially catering to citizens who work the standard 8-5. Starting April 6, 2026, the city will launch its 24/7 One-Stop Shop, anchored by the newly established Mayor of the Night Office. This initiative aims to provide a seamless, around-the-clock service hub where residents can process permits, settle dues, and access essential government documents regardless of the hour. The transition marks a significant shift in how a modern metropolis serves its "night owls" and shift workers. By centralizing services into a single, always-open location, the city is effectively eliminating the need for citizens to sacrifice work hours or endure grueling midday heat just to stand in line at a government window. It is a pragmatic response to the needs of a city that—much like its thriving BPO and hospitality sectors—never truly sleeps. Beyond the logistical convenience, there is something deeply progressive about this evolution. For too long, the "office hours" of the bureaucracy have acted as a bottleneck for the average working Filipino. By opening its doors after dark, Cebu City isn't just offering a new schedule; it is offering a new level of respect for its citizens' time. While other LGUs may struggle with the transition, this 24-hour model feels like the future of urban management, a government that finally matches the rhythm of the people it serves. Which government service would you be most relieved to access after work hours? Let us know in the comments.  #radarPH #CebuCity

@fluidtype Please rate this lomi. Always on the lookout for great versions .

@sufed4ever Oh MGM! I was trying to recall that, but we had already passed Batangas City when I remembered Batangas lomi. This was in Great Taste.

First stop: Batangas for lomi. It would be wrong not to, about as wrong as counting macros while on vacation. So my break from dieting starts now too. Dunkin' Donuts is next. I've got a box to plow through while driving. #lomi #roadtrip #travel
