I don't know how it is in other countries but here in the #Philippines entities turned #running #sports into a booming business. 😜
If there are no schedule overlaps, it's 52+ weeks of non-stop on-site Saturday and Sunday races.

Lawyer and Former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile passed away yesterday, 2025-11-13 around 16:00 PHT/ACT (UTC+8).
But what's interesting was during GMA's 24 Oras YouTube stream on 2025-11-11 someone spammed, "Breaking: Enrile passed away".
I blocked the spammer because I can't confirm it.
---
Now I'm curious who it was.
1. Did the family start the call for relatives on 2025-11-11 and someone with connections leaked it that day?
2. Was the spammer a seer?
3. Someone came from the future?
I learned today that because of the strong Moral Rights protection in the #Philippines , it is not possible for Authors/Creators (defined as "natural persons" by law) to dedicate/release their work to the #PublicDomain .
And even if we use 0BSD, MIT-0, CC0, and other similar public-domain-equivalent licenses, we can still sue anyone who:
1. Misused our name
2. Misrepresented us
3. Misused our work (downstream)
All under Moral Rights because we can never waived it under Philippine law. Even with a promise not to sue anyone is not a guarantee.
So, saying, "This work is under 0BSD/MIT-0/CC0 and I will never sue anyone for whatever reason", won't work under Philippine law. The Creator/Author will always have their Moral Rights as the creator/author of the work. It's completely up to you to trust that they will fulfill their promise. 🤪

Merry Christmas everyone, especially to all Filipinos #Philippines
The P-drama «It's Okay to Not Be Okay» (2025) is an adaptation of the K-drama of the same name ( «사이코지만 괜찮아» (2020)). Here's my reaction about the premiere episodes.

Why the #Earthquake Network app is far better and more timely than all other apps and services (like Google).

Especially if you live in the #Philippines
People! Please stop spreading fake news about a Philippine lockdown! It's just the annual flu season! Is this your first time in the #Philippines?
It's already hard to deal with senior citizens who easily believe everything they read/hear in SNS.
The government already debunked it multiple times!

We called this tree "Lunok". There are seven of them behind my late grandmother's house. Each of them looks like this one. They are believed to be a whole kingdom of other dimensional beings, by the elders.

Me: a.k.a. Why the "Earthquake Network" app is far better than Google's and ordinary #earthquake apps.
The best explainer video on the status of commuting in the National Capital Region (aka Metro Manila) in the #Philippines
Magandang umaga #Pilipinas #🇵🇭
Get out there and vote for who YOU think our country needs, not what other people is telling you. It's your right to choose!
Mabuhay! 🖖🏽

The rest of the #Philippines votes today between #Marcos allies and #Duterte allies.
Meanwhile, #Makatizens are voting between #Binay versus #Binay for #Makati City, the country's richest.

What it is like to be a #Filipino ? Why is it More Fun In The #Philippines ?

People don't really need to search for their precincts every #ElectionsPH, it's in the Voter's ID card.
Why is it that Filipinos don't have a Voter's ID when it's part of registration? They forgot to pick it up or lost it?
The National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) started sending SMS alert blasts in the National Capital Region (a.k.a. Metro Manila).
It's going to continue throughout the evening and the wee hours tomorrow morning.
It's now a super #typhoon. Be safe everyone! Prepare, secure, store, be alert, stay safe #Philippines!
If you haven't seen what it's like to be near the coast during a super #typhoon , watch this video.
When we, Filipinos, say this super typhoon is as big as our entire country, we are not exaggerating...

If you're a foreigner, there's nothing new with detained people winning in an #elections here in the #Philippines.
If you're a local #Filipino and you were surprised by this, I guess this was the first time you voted or paid attention? Welcome to #PHpols kabayan!
Koreans and Japanese! Any feedback on «Omniscient Reader» #movie adaptation that premiered today? We won't get it here in the #Philippines until next month. 😭

As usual, another dumb implementation in #FinTech #Philippines scene.
A certain №1 (or №2?) #bank is now blocking #Android #accessibility features, they tagged it as "Compromised device". 🤦🏽🤷🏽

The #Philippines is in Asia but this is what my city looks like. There's nothing #Asian or #Asean—all European 😭 and this is actually called Korean town...

I want to laugh, but it is true for the Philippines, which has the longest Christmas season in the world (I am trying to resist the Christmas thing because thinking about it this early feels stressful).
