I'm in need of renewing my old BLS certification; do any local healthcare workers know of any reasonably-priced and high quality trainings in the area that are AHA-recognized?

This may be the pot calling the kettle black (looking at you Democratic establishment) but has anybody else noticed a culture-wide tendency for Filipinos to simply complain/whinge the same, lazy "Corruption bad" comments on social media for quick validation and likes? It feels like a massive circlejerk where they tend to just comment the most popular sentiments that attract the most agreement and social acceptance and to them, it qualifies as activism.

They don't go any farther than this, there's very little mobilization only 1 year after the ghost project thing exploded.

It feels like social media is weaponized as a simple punching bag for young filipinos to release their frustrations in a forum that's extremely easy for the government to censor and in a way that causes almost no real disruption.

Literally less than 50 years ago we had PP.

Hey all--I feel like I've checked almost every Asian mart, mom + pop shop and major retailer in the area and I cannot for the life of me find this brand of sticky rice.

As far as I'm aware this is the golden standard for most sticky rice lovers, yet I can only find other brands. (Three Rings, Cock Brand, Asia Best)

Maybe anyone on here who's seen it locally can help me out?

I got an early day off from work today and I'm craving some French Toast--can anybody drop their favorites for the neighborhood? Thanks!

Would prefer something less crowded than a bar or a restaurant. I know Panna-USA has large screens showing the game on an indoor soccer field but some glitch in their website is erroneously charging $25 for a watch party advertised as free.

Despite living next to the very Filipino Woodside neighborhood in Queens, NYC AND working in healthcare, I've yet to meet any other Filipinos of Bicolano heritage (Almost always Bisayan/Kampampangan/Illongo etc). I love my Filipino community wholeheartedly, but I've always been a little sad being unable to share any Bicolano inside jokes or be able to speak Bicolano with fellow speakers.

I'm not fluent by any means, but in finding that niche community I'd hope to learn!

So I'm curious, how established is the Bicolano community here in Queens, NYC? My family is specifically from Buhi and my Buhinon/Bikol is growing weaker by the day. Any others?
