The Philippines' broadcast TV content rating system only uses G (General Patronage), PG (Parental Guidance), and SPG (Strong Parental Guidance). While many countries have a dedicated adults-only television classification such as TV-MA in United States, 18+, or 19 in South Korea the Philippines doesn't. Instead, its highest rating is SPG, which is still a parental guidance classification rather than one intended exclusively for adult audiences. Programs deemed unsuitable for television with strong violent and sexual scenes are not given a higher age rating. Instead, the MTRCB may assign them an X (Disapproved for airing on Television) rating, which prohibits them from being broadcast. this is why there are no shows for mature audiences like Game of Thrones and Family Guy in original uncut form on broadcast tv.

Executions in Japan are shrouded in secrecy, with prisoners typically given only a few hours’ notice and their familes usually notified about the execution only after it has taken place.

Today is the 130th death anniversary of Marcelo del Pilar, who was the original proponent of the Philippine Revolution and said to have bankrolled it, while Jose Rizal opposed it.

TIL that he had advocated for thousands of liberal peninsular settlers to come into the Philippines to dilute ultraconservative friars. He also proposed that instead of prisoners, artisans must migrate into the Philippines en masse to populate cities like Manila. However, he opposed for mass non-Spanish foreign immigration like the Japanese.

According to the latest available World Bank data (2024), Iran's nominal GDP per capita was about US$5,190, compared with around US$4,300 for the Philippines. This is despite the Philippines having a relatively open economy, participating in multiple free trade agreements, broad access to global markets, and abundant natural resources, including some of the world's largest nickel reserves and significant deposits of copper, gold, and chromite. Meanwhile, Iran has spent more than four decades under extensive international sanctions that have severely restricted its banking system, oil exports, and international trade.

The difference between the two is that one was recorded in detail and was revived with the highest amount of accuracy, whereas one is supplanted by myths, driven by insecurity and clearly showing lack of studies and analysis by the "reenactors" like that guy and girl from the Visayas dressing in outfits that are from 16th century Samar but saying it's also from Cebu. So, here's an example from Greece, one of first to launch the Neopaganism revival movements. And here is from the Baltic regions.

SKL: Did you know na makakuha kag travel tax exemption if traveling to Brunei/Indonesia/Malaysia as long as yun point of origin is anywhere from Palawan/Mindanao. In my case, I'll be flying from CdeO to Brunei via Manila as tourist. Then I submitted my application thru Online TIEZA and received my travel tax exemption certification within 24 hours (see 4th and 5th pics). You can submit your application months before your flight. And until June 30, 2028 ang application of travel tax exemption

Idk if everyone knows this pero sabi ni ate sa uniqlo kapag “Sale” daw ang nakalagay it means inuubos na nila yung stocks ganun and di na sila magrerestock. If “Limited offer” daw sale siya for a while pero babalik din siya sa original price nya. Medyo dumb na ngayon ko lang narealize to kahit nakasabi na limited offer sya.

The volcano first broke the ocean surface during its eruption in 1857. However, it was eventually washed away and disappeared beneath the surface years later.

The volcano emerged again after erupting in 1952, resulting in the permanent island that we see today.

Medyo nagulat ako sa color ng tae ko last week. Bought these exact tea from shopee and started doing cold brew tea at home. Over the past few days, even after continuous drinking naging normal naman na color ng tae ko.

From what i research, rich kasi in anthocyanins yung hibiscus. If mixed with alkaline solutions like your gut bile, it can turn bluish green.

So, on days where your digestion may be moving slightly faster, the yellow green bile may not have enough time to be converted unto brown colored compounds. When mixed with the anthocyanin pigments, it can turn to bluish green.

Pero matagal na ako umiinom ng Hibiscus tea sa starbucks and hindi naman ito nangyari. Most probably kasi highly dilluted/not enough pigments yung meron sa tea nila.
