MANILA, Philippines — Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. assailed Chinese officials in Seoul after receiving a surprise message from them onstage while mid-answer at a regional defense summit.

Teodoro was taking a question about Chinese gray-zone coercion in the South China Sea at the Seoul Defense Dialogue when a man walked up behind him and left a sheet of paper on his table. Gray-zone tactics are actions that pressure another state without crossing into armed attack.

Hey, sorry to budge in: I just noticed that Apple doesn't offer an App Store page for Filipino, does anyone know why? Android has it.

I translated my free mobile game to it (would love for someone to check if the translations are appropriate for a Fantasy RPG), but when I wanted to setup the store page I couldn't find the language anywhere.

Which is weird for a country of nearly 118 million people, does Apple have some kind of grudge or are you all English natives? O.o

Won't be surprising if there are Dutertemaniacs mass-reporting those episodes to destroy and cover up.

MANILA, Philippines — These detours are not the happy kind.

Several netizens shared their experiences of driving for hours over the weekend due to heavy traffic along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), amid flooding brought by days of torrential rains.

Many towns in Pampanga province, which the NLEx runs through, were inundated as the southwest monsoon (“habagat”) lashed parts of Luzon.

Dubious achievement. No thanks to not only deficiencies in sex ed, but also a very loose underground hookup culture... as if HIV doesn't exist.
