Filipino "Pickpocket Hunters" get into an absolute brawl with thieves on a Rome train

You might have already seen clips floating around but two Pinoys living in Italy, Mervin Dayagro and Jordan Tamayo, just went viral for physically fighting off a group of aggressive pickpockets inside a Rome train carriage.

Unlike the usual "Attenzione Pickpocket" videos where people just yell to warn tourists, this situation escalated fast. According to their interviews, the suspected thieves tried to intimidate passengers and actively went after their group, leading to a full-on fistfight. Pepper spray was deployed, punches were thrown, and the Pinoys ultimately forced the pickpockets to retreat before transit authorities arrived.

Some are praising them as heroes for standing up to the rampant theft problem in European transit hubs, while others are worried about the dangers of escalating things into violent vigilantism

Official statement from the game developer association of the philippines

u/Ragamak1 — 2 months ago

The Misplaced Focus of the GoreBox Prob

Senator Risa Hontiveros has raised alarms over GoreBox, targeting the product and its independent developer, Felix Filip (F2Games). However, demanding compliance or direct accountability from a small, foreign indie developer?

To understand why this strategy is flawed, we have to look at the supply chain using the classic retail analogy. For example cigarettes and alcohol.

--

The Creator (The Manufacturer): Felix Filip / F2Games is simply the factory making the product. They build a game and place it on a global market.

Is just like Tanduay , Emperador or San Miguel Brewery. They are the manufacturers making the products

The Distributor (The Store): Steam (Valve)/Google play is the multi-billion-dollar supermarket. They hold the digital shelf space, process the payments, manage the regional storefronts, and dictate consumer access.

In comparison this your local grocery, 711 or tindahan ni Aleng Nena. They are the one selling and making sure minors dont have access to Liquor or Cigarettes.
Its the store that ask for "saan ID mo?" & say bawal ito sa bata.

Senator Risa Hontiveros is targeting the German creator of GoreBox over minor access. If you want to stop minors from getting adult products, you talk to the store selling it—not the factory making it.

When it comes to regulating age-restricted goods, accountability must sit at the point of sale.
In the physical world, we do not expect San Miguel or Tanduay to stand at the doorstep of every local tindahan to check a customer’s ID.

The manufacturer's only job is to create the product. It is the store—the distributor—that holds the legal obligation, the infrastructure, and the direct power to limit access to minors.

(Im not sure how Gorebox is distributed in Philippines might be via Steam)

I know may mga staff si Risa dito reading, you should have ask Bam Aquino about it first.
If ano yung supply chain dynamics ng industry na yan.

Everytime ba na may minor na nakaka disgrasya and lasing. Pinapatawag ba ang Tanduay,Emperador or San Miguel ?

The Senate's push to investigate the German creator of GoreBox over minor access shows a fundamental misunderstanding of digital supply chain logistics.

If a government wants to regulate how minors access adult products, the rule of law dictates targeting the point of distribution, not the manufacturers

TLDR :

Risa should have ask game disbributors(Valve/Steam/Google) sa safeguards on minor downloading R18 game. Instead of asking directly sa manufacturer.

Disgruntled landowner, 4 bodyguards held for Iloilo resort hostage-taking

For $ALI and $AC holders.

ILOILO CITY – Police arrested a disgruntled landowner and four bodyguards on Friday, June 26, for allegedly taking remaining workers of a defunct luxury resort in Sicogon Island in northern Iloilo province hostage and indiscriminately firing their weapons.

Sarrosa’s action came a week after an Ayala Land subsidiary donated 30 hectares of residential land and 33 hectares of agricultural land to the Federation of Sicogon Island Farmers and Fisherfolk Association (FESIFFA), a group of residents previously displaced when tourism redevelopment was started in the 2010s.
A viral video filmed by Sarrosa on Thursday showed him carrying a high powered-firearm, branded Ayala Land as a “land grabber,” and caused locals to go hungry. Sarrosa said that he would not leave the island and would die on the island.

----

Im not sure if mainstream media will give this airtime. Pero parang big issue eto back in Iloilo. Talk of the town.

This is not good PR considering nag prepare sila with $MYNT ipo and yung mga rumours regarding $ALI debt.
