Looking po for Aspin Askal puppy puppies or less than one year old. Kung meron po sana yung maputi o light colored dahil malabo na ang mga mata ko, para makita o maaninag ko sa gabi. Willing to pay transport, abala, else fees.

For transparency, hindi po kami mayaman, pero hindi naman nangungupahan. Saradong bakod (concrete hollow blocks) at steel gate, may bakuran (both cemented at lupa/soil). Hindi kami nag-c-collar, o tali, o kulungan man. Sa loob ng mismong bahay matutulog at titira ang aso. At malayang makakapag labas-masok.

Kung magkaroon na kayo o may malaman kayo sa hinaharap, kahit pa lumipas ang isang taon o higit pa, mag-comment pa rin kayo, mababasa ko pa rin naman. Hinahanap kasi ni Nanay ko (PWD, bulag na, at nasa higaan lang palagi) ang dati naming aso. At kahit ako rin naman nga eh.

OLONGAPO area po kami. Thanks in advance.

For those who are from Bicol, I created a c/Bicol if you want to join.

I thought it was a problem with the site or my phone but my work VPN is able to access Mastodon.Social. I was able to use someone's Globe mobile data to access the site and it worked. I was wondering if its an isolated problem with PLDT on my IP block or is the whole service infrastructure having issues connecting to Mastodon.

I've been on Lemmy since 3rd quarter of last year and the two PH communities have always existed. Isn't it about time we merge?

Has anyone tried the #Philippines Travel Level Map? It's crazy that I scored 105 but it feels like I've only been to a few places.

I did this last night, but it took me until today because I'm not familiar with the regions of the places I've been to 🤣

Magandang araw / hapon / gabi po!

Ako po si Ayo Ayco, isang web developer na ngayon ay imigrante sa Netherlands, simula noong nakaraang taon (January 2022)

Mahilig ako magpost ng tungkol sa tech, jokes o mga muni-muni, kadalasan sa pangunahing account ko na English: @[email protected]

Balak ko dito sa account na ito ay puro Tagalog/Filipino na post para sa mga kaibigan/kapamilya sa Pilipinas, pati na rin sa mga bagong makikilala dito.

This sounds fabricated just to weaken the accused's credibility in a court of public opinion.

Doesn't sound very professional to me.

What a terrible day to be a journalist.

What a traversty for Privacy in the Philippines.

Quite ironic. Once again, the PH tests the effectiveness of their justice system when son of the DoJ haa been caught in a controlled delivery operation picking up one kilo of Kush. The DoJ secretary and his brother, current Governor of Cavite, claim they will not use their power to protect the accused.

After 100 days into his presidency, Marcos signs a law for the first time. However, privacy advocates question the details of the law and fear that it may be used to hunt down critics of his administration.

Unsure of how enforceable this is but the more you know, the better.

Edited Update: Several of the country's biggest universities' student governments have also been calling for the suspension of classes in protest of the Marcos-Duterte presidency:

Many of them are organizing to protest at the Commission of Election headquarters in Manila. Not sharing photos, some protesters unmasked.

The Canadian whistle-blower says Strategic Communication Laboratories, Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, found the Philippines an ideal target and used proxies here

Questionable rule of law, high social media usage, and corrupt politicians. These 3 conditions, according to Cambridge Analytica (CA) whistle-blower Christopher Wylie, made countries like the Philippines a perfect place to test their techniques and technology.

“It creates an ideal petri dish type situation,” Wylie added, “where you can experiment on tactics and techniques that you wouldn’t be able to as easily in the West…and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, you won’t get caught. And if it does work, then you can then figure out how to port that into other countries."
