Same engine and body as the old Rusi Classic but looking closely it has a rear mono shock now with a clearly thicker swinngarm, in comparison to the RC 250's old rear dual shock setup.

The only motorcycle sa 250cc range sa pinas na may Scrambler stylizing na ganyan with real scrambler off-road performance.

I personally love it, definitely something I'd be upgrading to it from my old trusty smash once people get to use it and we know more about how it rides.

What do you think?

MARKET! MARKET! MODERNIZATION TO INTEGRATE METRO MANILA SUBWAY

The ₱1-billion modernization program for Market! Market! in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) will include the integration of the BGC station that is part of the upcoming Metro Manila Subway, a 33.1-km underground rapid transit line that will serve the cities of Valenzuela, Quezon City, Pasig, Taguig, Parañaque, and Pasay.

Under a recently signed lease extension agreement between the BCDA and Ayala Land Inc.-led Station Square East Commercial Corporation (SSECC), the current property will be reinvented and transformed into an integrated retail and transportation hub.

BCDA President and CEO Joshua Bingcang highlighted that integrating major mobility infrastructure such as the Metro Manila Subway into the commercial development will help build a seamless and future-ready urban center that serves the commuting public.

The redevelopment of the property is expected to improve its utilization as a major transit node. Once completed, the mixed-use hub will provide commuters with improved accessibility and seamless connections between the underground railway system and other modes of public transportation serving the BGC business and entertainment district.

Subic Bay is gearing up for a major upgrade!

The United States is funding a feasibility study to expand Subic's ship repair and port facilities, positioning it as the preferred gateway for the planned AI industrial hub in New Clark City.

As part of efforts to strengthen the Luzon Economic Corridor, the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA( is also backing a proposed public WiFi project aiming to deploy AI-enhanced access points at nearly 8,000 locations nationwide by 2030.

MANILA — The Philippines has signed a $60-million grant agreement with the United States to improve its energy sector. .

In a statement, the Department of Finance (DOF) said the grant will support the Energy Development Governance Efficiency (EDGE) project.

The DOF said the EDGE project will speed up the implementation of energy-related projects, helping reduce power disruptions and make electricity more affordable for Filipinos.

Philippine power grids are frequently placed on Red and Yellow Alerts during the hot and dry months of April and May, when electric fans and air conditioning units are used more often and for longer.

In the Visayas and Mindanao, power spot market prices climbed in August as tighter electricity supply met higher demand.

Without empathy and compassion gets you psychopathy.

I'm just returning from genshin from a few year hiatus and stumbled upon this scene of paimon peacefully sleeping and I just had to make this, enjoy.

Re-posting this again for this year's Habagat: Why did we abandon traditional Filipino architectural designs for our climate?

As someone from Rizal and frequents the area around Pasig, Marikina, Taytay and Cainta — I notice so many of the old buildings, houses and municipal/barangay buildings are intentionally built on stilts or are heavily elevated with their foundations.

Being flooded every Habagat isn't a problem — as we can see with the Spanish colonial administrators that clearly had to deal with as they were forced to build a lot of things on higher ground. Marikina, Pasig and Cainta rivers never played nice with the residences since forever.

The frustrating part is that we already have a way to dealing with floods and urban design for hundreds of years. But somewhere during the post WW2 reconstruction and building boom we somehow for some reason forgot what our ancestors learned living in this tropical nation.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has secured the Villar Group of Companies' agreement to the former’s non-negotiable terms for the donation of the two mortgaged parcels of land needed for the construction of the Las Piñas station of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. directed the DOTr to fast-track the resolution of issues surrounding the project to ensure that commuters can benefit from it at the earliest possible time.

In a meeting with Transportation Secretary Banoy Lopez on Friday, representatives of the Villar Group of Companies agreed to DOTr’s three non-negotiable terms for the donation of the land: the granting of an unconditional permit to enter, the waiver of subrogation against the government, and the cancellation of the mortgage on the property to be donated.

“This development is good for DOTr, LRMC (Light Rail Manila Corporation, LRTA (Light Rail Transit Authority) and the Villar Group, but best for the commuting public. Itong pagkakasundo natin, talagang commuters ang pangunahing makikinabang, at ‘yun naman talaga dapat ang priority natin,” Secretary Lopez said.

Six parcels of land are to be donated by the Villar Group, two of which are mortgaged.

The Villar Group said the cancellation of the mortgaged properties will be processed within the next six months. It also said the replacement of properties for the two mortgaged parcels of land has already been identified to facilitate the release of the land to be donated.

The company expressed confidence that the necessary agreements for the land donation including the Memorandum of Agreement, Right-of-Way Acquisition Agreement, and Deed of Donation will be signed within the month, paving the way for construction works to commence as early as next year.

“Nagpapasalamat ang DOTr sa Villar Group of Companies dahil sa inyong cooperation para mapabilis natin itong proseso. Ang laging bilin sa atin ng Pangulo, dapat mapakinabangan na ng commuters ‘yung mga transport projects natin sa lalong madaling panahon at resolbahin na rin ang mga dapat ayusin,” the transport chief said.

Meanwhile, LRMC President and Chief Executive Officer Enrico Benipayo, who was also present at the meeting, witnessed the government's seriousness and urgency in resolving the remaining issues, noting that thousands of commuters would have been affected had the agreement to build the Las Piñas station was not reached.

“I see that there’s this urgency from the government to provide relief for passengers. And on the part of the Villars (Group of Companies) there’s a good sign that they’re talking to the grantors in good faith. With this milestone, I think a major hurdle has been finished,” he said.

Also present in the meeting were DOTr Undersecretary for Railways Timothy John Batan, Assistant Secretary for Railways Eduardo Danilo Macabulos, LRTA Administrator Atty. Hernando Cabrera, LRMC Chief Technical Advisor Scott Anderson, and Cavite Extension Project Execution Manager Carlos Tan.
