Philippine Economic Growth Slows Down To 2.8% In 1st Quarter Of 2026

Excerpt: The Philippine economy grew at its slowest pace in five years, expanding just 2.8 percent in the first quarter of 2026, as the country grapples with the persistent government spending slump and mounting inflation shocks.

The country’s economy, as measured by the gross domestic product (GDP), decelerated from the 3.0 percent expansion recorded in the final three months of 2025.

It also significantly missed the 3.4 percent median growth projected by economists in a survey, and marked the weakest quarterly output for the country since the first quarter of 2021, when the economy contracted 3.8 percent during pandemic-era lockdowns.

⚠️ WARNING TO EVERYONE COMMUTING AT NIGHT! ⚠️

​

Please be advised that there have been reports of a hold-up in the dark area of Loyola Memorial Park.

Last night, at around 1:30 AM, the jeepney I was riding was held up by two men. They threatened the passengers with a balisong (butterfly knife). One of them carried out the hold up while the other blocked the jeepney's entrance to prevent anyone from getting out.

The two men boarded the jeepney near Park & Go, close to Pag-IBIG. After a few minutes, they asked the driver to drop them off in the dark area of Loyola Memorial Park. That's where they carried out the hold up, taking advantage of the darkness and the absence of people around.

Please be extra careful, especially when commuting late at night. Stay alert, remain vigilant, and always prioritize your safety.

Stay safe, everyone! Please share this warning to help keep others informed. 🙏

Shout out po sa ibang lalaking employees ng NIGHTMARES MANILA! Super bastos niyo po and super manyakol!

Nakarating po sa akin na nag-uusap usap daw silang guys about their partners and how they do intimate stuff! Napilitan pa yung BF ko (na employee rin ng Nightmares) na mag-share kasi tanong sila nang tanong kung anong ginagawa namin! They even said na baka hindi na ako vrgin talaga kaya ayaw kong magpagalaw sa bf ko! WTF WAS THAT? So my bf said na pinapad3d3 ko siya, just to answer their question (but that act only happened once po and mga nasa 15 seconds lang din tinagal). Then someone said, "Gawin daw yon hanggang sa mamaga yung utøng ko" WHAT THE HELL? HA? PLS LANG. GIRLFRIENDS DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED. HINDI YUNG GANITO NA PINAG-UUSAPAN SILA ABOUT S3XUAL STUFF WITHOUT THEM KNOWING ABOUT IT! I'm calling the management of Nightmares Manila na kausapin employees niyo. Hindi pwede na sobrang bastos ng mga lalaki dyan. So what if may guests na let's say, maganda katawan? Ano? Pag-uusapan din ba nila yon? Your place is not safe. Ayusin niyo muna moral ng iba niyong empleyado. Pls lang. Di ko lalahatin kasi for sure may matitino naman. But please, paki-disiplina yang mga BASTOS na yan!

PS: Yung statement na ito ay galing sa bf ko since nagkausap kami sa personal kahapon. My bf is not different from them din kasi he could have just walked away kaysa sumagot! Pero still, it doesn't erase the fact na andaming bastos dyan na employees especially yung mga nag-side comment about my vrginity and my utøng!!!!

  1. Patricia Homes, Pamplona Dos, Las Piñas
  2. Don Bosco Village, Better Living, Parañaque
  3. Southgreen Park Subdivision, Merville, Parañaque
  4. Multinational Village, Parañaque

Among these areas, which would you recommend in terms of safety, a peaceful environment, flood risk, and a secure, gated community?

I’d really appreciate your insights and recommendations. Thank you! 😊

Philippines And Vietnam Agree To Strengthen Tourism Cooperation And Improve Air Connectivity

The Philippines has been a poor performer on international tourism even among Southeast Asian countries. Over 480,000 Filipinos visited Vietnam last year while our country did not attract too many Vietnamese tourists.

Do you think this new agreement will help our country attract more tourists and investors from Vietnam?

NCAP in Parañaque

So, if we don't follow lane markings, we're ticketable, but for a lot of major roads, there are NO PROPER lanes! Lanes appear and disappear without any logic.

Signs are obscured by other signs and posts, and are placed so sparsely / discreetly. Implementing this without establishing proper groundworks already shades even the most compliant motorists.

Given the "hybrid" system here, how will the cameras / analytics override violations caused by enforcers who force a car to keep going / turn during a red light? When recording lasts 24h on standard vehicles, how can one contest a "forced violation" that happened, say, weeks ago?

Implementing something advanced and costly when the basic building blocks and structures are not in place can easily complicate and make situations pretty hairy.
