Hahahaha. Tracks.
I always considered myself a well-rounded person. Then I got a PhD and became an expert on a topic that only 7 people understand. Four of them think I’m an idiot.

Garapalan. There so many seasoned urban poor advocates fit for this job.
Malacañang on Tuesday defended the appointment of 27-year-old Zofia Canlas as head of the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP), saying she has the dedication and experience needed to perform the job. At a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro defended Canlas' appointment, emphasizing President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s position that the ability to serve the country matters most. Canlas’ appointment drew criticism on social media following her graduation from De La Salle University with a degree in biology in 2024 and her subsequent designation as the first nominee of the Batang Quiapo party-list. Social media users also questioned her appointment by recirculating photos of her foreign travels, which she had posted on her personal account. Read more: gmanetwork.com/news/topstori…

Can't help but think of that tone deaf cola ad starring Kylie Jenner. Now this is in the middle of an actual protest. Bottled water was part of the pause. It did not save the day 🤷‍♀️
🚨MUNDO: Na França, manifestantes fazem pausa para hidratação e oferecem água aos policiais antes de retomarem os protestos.

Apa yang bikin kamu nangis di minggu pagi ini? . THIS TINY LITTLE HAND 😭😭 Genggaman sekecil itu, menggenggam sehelai rumput di atas tubuh induknya yang gak berdaya. Korban bisu dari ganasnya karhutla Kalimantan. Rasanya nyesek setiap kali lihat mereka harus menanggung akibat dari kerusakan yang gak mereka perbuat. . ​Tangan sekecil ini seharusnya sibuk main bergelantungan di rimbunnya pohon bersama ibunya, bukan terbaring lemah di atas tanah yang hangus. . This truly breaks my heart. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping our forests can breathe again soon.

Most people in France can't afford housing. They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast. They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

By way of diplomatic language, you can please easily leave Manila and go back to China. We do not need foreign guests in the form of arrogant, condescending diplomats.

Sana may presscon din on what government is doing to protect our watersheds.
‘MALINIS PO ‘YUNG TUBIG’ Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro drink filtered water from “jerry can,” a pail with a filtration system, on Wednesday. “Malinis po ‘yung tubig,” Castro said. “It is like drinking any drinking water,” Gatchalian added.

“LET US REMOVE THE ‘KAWAWA NAMAN ANG VP’ SYNDROME” Atty. Lorna Kapunan rejected the defense team’s portrayal of Vice President Sara Duterte as a victim, saying the Filipino people are the true victims of Duterte’s use of public funds as she pleased without accountability. “Hindi puwedeng sabihin na she has not been given the opportunity to present herself,” Kapunan added. The prosecution on Tuesday dropped three articles of impeachment against her, leaving only Article II on the unexplained wealth. #VPonTrial READ MORE: inqnews.net/TrialHighlightsO…

Friendly reminder that walking is a legitimate workout. The only reason it gets downplayed is because big fitness hasn't found a way to package, brand, and sell you outdoor air yet.

Bakit kailangang may halong insulto? Pwede namang magclarify without adding fuel to the fire. Asking for transparency, urgency, and accountability in addressing a dire situation is not being obstructionist. It's what good citizens do.
'KUNG PUWEDE LANG BUMILI NG BALDENG UTAK PARA MAIBIGAY SA INYO' Sinagot ni Palace Press Officer Usec. Claire Castro ang mga “napataas ang kilay” sa pahayag ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos kaugnay ng paggamit ng balde upang mangolekta ng tubig-ulan bilang paghahanda sa Super El Niño. “Kailangan talaga natin ng balde. Baldeng utak para maintindihan ninyo po kung ano ang plano ng Pangulo,” saad ni Castro sa mga tinawag niyang umano'y "obstructionists." Bisitahin ang gmanetwork.com/news para sa updates.
