My brother and his team made Tagbalay—a Hiligaynon horror game where the scariest thing isn't a monster, but inheriting your mother's debt.

Hey!

My brother and his friends (Josh, Renson, & Mel) just submitted their game for the Filipino Horror Game Jam 2026, and I wanted to help spread the word!

🎮 What is Tagbalay? Tagbalay is a 2D first-person social and survival horror point-and-click game made in Godot. You play as a son trying to survive minimum wage, a sick mother, and the heavy weight of inherited debt.

🚪 What makes it unique?

  • No Ghosts, Just Real-Life Horror: The fear comes from hard times—no second income, growing bills, and an unexpected knock at the door every night. Is it a collector? A neighbor? A fraudster? Or someone needing shelter? You decide whether to answer, pay, slam the door, or let them in.
  • Authentically Filipino: Fully voiced in Hiligaynon (with English subtitles) to capture authentic cultural situations and local fear.
  • Controls: Playable with mouse or touch controls.

🛠️ The Team Behind It:

  • Programming: Jude Timothy Joshua Bomban
  • Art: Rommel John Panal (Mel)
  • Music: Josh Reuven Mission
  • Voices & Sound Effects: Renson Nicor

Since this is a game jam entry and still in development, the team would love your feedback and support!

Check it out and let them know what you think!

Mayor G, nagamit na paid "vlogger" para eh defend siya

Kay hindi na ka gagwanta sa criticism ang camp ka orange squad kag ila lider na si Mayor G, nag gamit na sya sang bayaran na vlogger para may ma defend sa iya.

Ti kung sa video gali wala ka sala Mayor G kag hindi na imo project tani gin clear mo sa presscons kag casuhan mo ang Tieza, pero gin paagi mo pa sa vlogger mo? Wala ka gid ya "balls" mayo pa ang plaza damo balls.

Summary ka video, ang vlogger gin point out ya, hindi na kay under Mayor G ang project, iya na ni Albee kuno kag suno kay Albeen iya na ka TIEZA. Ti ano kano tudluanay nalng gli?

People are not having it na, tanan ninyo na projects ni G kag Albee, ay puro overpriced kag wala pa natapos, pati ang vlogger ga himo skits as a "corrupt na brgy. Captain" gli ya mga bossing ya lang gina sunod ya.

Entitled Bacolodnon Drivers

Just because there's a one car gap in front of me does not mean that's your sign to cut in. It means I'm not tailgating the car in front of me. Leaving them breathing space, if you can even grasp such a concept. Na-ogan mo pa ko bintana nga daw sin-o ka nga tarpulano kay di ko magpadasok. Kung mag try ka UNDERTAKE sa akon tapos may sikad gali ahead sa right lane, indi ka ya magdasok balik sa left lane nga ang hood ko tupong sa imo pirtahan. Ang talawa-an gid kay may salakyan man sa tubang ko, masingit lang gid ya ang mga isip bata.

Roads are meant to be shared and I can't understand why we always have to cut one car ahead. Damo pinoy magdrive nga kunware 50/50 pasahero nila nga hingagawon pakadto Riverside. Di kamo maging bida bida bala kay parehas man lang ta tanan may kaladtu-an.

"What if i'm late?"
Please leave earlier next time.

A little consideration goes a long way, kag ang selfish na giho sa dalan reflection gid na sa mga selfish nga behavior nga na initan ta sa gobyerno or anywhere else.

If you were driving an orange mitsubishi strada like a 12 year old in Taculing around 9 am on Oct. 4, chances are I wrote this because of you. You're not an idiot, you just drive like one. Kabalo ko kaya mo magbag-o.

Please remember that a predictable driver is the best driver. Ang sagad magsingit either ambulance driver or nagdako na gina-apinan lang sang ginikanan. Grabe nga impatience, selfishness, kag inconsideration — untaton ta ni please.

Poorly Organized Milo FunRun

WATDAFAAAAAAAAAK this shit’s too early to be angry!!! to whoever organized this run, just know it was poorly planned/organized. imagine damo2 BTAO ga standby, pero ni isa wala gd presence of mind nga this run took 4 whole-ass lanes when 2 could’ve sufficed na. indi man ko ka libot kay i live somewhere where the run was in the middle of their route. indi ko man gusto mag honk non stop kay basi ma memorize niyo chura ko hehe.

indi gd ko tani late sa duty kung gin planohan niyo ni mayo! (kami tanan sang upod ko na late sa duty) just because the event starts early, doesn’t mean other ppl aren’t wide awake & have jobs to get to at 6AM in the morning. 😀

May ga-lagaw guid man? Daw ka mari-it guid abi

Is it just me, or does MassKara 2026 feel completely mari-it? (Yes, I know the word technically means haunted or spiritually eerie, but it literally feels like the life has been sucked out of the city, or like some bad vibe is ruining the festival mood 😂).

It’s already October, but everything feels incredibly dull and dead. Usually by this time, the streets are bustling and the festive energy is high, but right now it is so cold and unenthusiastic. Where is everybody? People aren't even going out this weekend.

Is this all because of that half-assed plaza rehabilitation project? They promised it would be completely finished before MassKara started, but it looks totally rushed and substandard. Even Mayor Greg publicly blasted the TIEZA contractor in the news because the quality is just unacceptable. They displaced the local vendors and locked up parts of the plaza for months, and the final result just ended up killing the soul of the downtown area.

What do you guys think? Are the Lacson strip and the BCGC the only areas saving the festival this year, or is MassKara 2026 really just a flop?

Neighbor blocking our garage

Our neighbor keeps parking their car in front of our garage and it’s starting to become an issue when we need to get in and out.

I don’t want to create any tension since we live next to each other.

Any idea ano ang best way to approach this? Not looking to escalate it

Any recommendations for legit solar panel installers in Bacolod?

Hi Bacolod peeps! 👋
Planning to have solar panels installed at home and looking for a legit and reliable solar installation company in Bacolod/Negros Occidental.
Would appreciate recommendations based on your personal experience, especially companies that provide good after-sales service and warranty. Also curious about your system size, approximate cost, and how much it helped reduce your monthly bill.
Please share companies you’ve personally tried (and ones to avoid, if any 😅).
Thank you! ☀️
