Everyone in the #Philippines enjoy the last surge of Amihan (NE Monsoon; very cold winds from Japan, Korea, Siberia), lowest records: 7.5–9℃.
A fortnight from now the Hot Dry Season will officially begin, and you know what it means: "feels like 35–40℃" for the next 4–6 months.
I love how the logo of the recent Manila Spanish Film Festival organized by the #InstitutoCervantes leans into how #Tagalog has nearly ⅓ of its vocabulary coming from Spanish, including the key word “pelikula” from “película”. Even the other “film” loanword “sine” comes from “cine”. (Interestingly, the word “sinehan”, for “theater” or “movie house”, combines the Spanish loanword with the locative Tagalog suffix “-an”.)

yeah, sex is great but then there’s the feeling of seeing Rodrigo Duterte getting ready to stand trial for crimes against Humanity ―just like the ones the Orange Shitstain is committing with ICE―; prepping the International Criminal Court’s judges for what should befall him, his couchfucker and every criminal of this fascist MAGA regime.
Saw an outlet refer to a region as the "Malay Archipelago"
Outside of Academia, does anyone actually use that term for the region anymore?

How the Modern Filipino Name Works
One might assume it is simply first name, middle name, and last name. It is not.

Huwag kayong magpapaniwala sa mga political podcast. Puro exaggeration lang ang mga 'yan at mga wishful thinking. They word it in a way to make it hard for regular people to detect their exaggerations and what-ifs.
Yes, it is true that #ASEAN is #Kpop 's largest overseas consumers—with the #Philippines and #Indonesia at the top. It was us who turned the Hallyu Wave into a global phenomenon. Without us, you wouldn't be where you are today.
Here in the #Philippines the word #Autistic is still considered derogatory, offensive, ableist, often used as a joke and/or to mean "abnormal". This is despite years of usage from amongst us, the autistics.
It still is a "war", but we are making progress. Keep fighting!
Happy Valentine's Day! If you don't have a date, I'm a boyfriend-for-hire for today! As usual, discreet only! 😝 I still have a few slots open!
P.s. a JOKE! Then again, jokes are half meant, so … 🫶🏽🫰🏽

Climate change is already reshaping the Philippine economy, with severe typhoons pushing up food prices, raising inflation, & slowing growth, creating tough trade-offs for monetary policy. The IMF finds that sustained investment in climate-resilient infrastructure & flexible, credible policy responses are essential to protect long-term economic stability
