BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Heads up, kapwa Pilipino.
Super Typhoon Uwan / Fung-Wong is approaching, and now is the time to prepare—not panic.

What you can do TODAY:
1. Charge phones, powerbanks, flashlights.
2. Store enough water and ready-to-eat food.
3. Secure roofs, windows, and loose items outside your home.
4. Know your evacuation routes and nearest shelters.
5. Stay updated only through PAGASA, LGU announcements, and trusted news sources—avoid fake news.

Disasters don’t choose who to hit.
But we can choose to be ready.

Protect your home. Protect your family.
Walang mawawala sa pagiging handa.

HOW BIG COULD UWAN GET?

A climate change and disaster risk expert warned that Uwan (Fung-Wong) could cover the entire Philippines and test our resilience to the limit, but it goes beyond how big it could get.

"When the storm finally arrives, it won't wait for anyone to catch up. What you do today could be the reason you're safe tomorrow," he said.

🚲 “The bicycle — a slow death for the planet.”

That’s what a banker once said, making economists pause for a moment.

“A cyclist is a disaster for the economy,” he explained.
“He doesn’t buy a car or take out loans to pay for it.
He doesn’t pay for car insurance.
He doesn’t buy fuel.
He doesn’t use paid parking or expensive repairs.
He doesn’t cause major accidents.
He doesn’t need highways built just for him.
And worst of all — he stays healthy.

Healthy people don’t buy as many medicines.
They rarely visit hospitals.
They don’t contribute to the GDP through sickness.”

Meanwhile, every new McDonald’s creates:
🍔 30 jobs, including
👨‍⚕️ 10 cardiologists,
🦷 10 dentists,
🥤 10 nutritionists,
…and of course, the staff who serve the food.

So — choose wisely:
🚴‍♂️ the bicycle or 🍟 McDonald’s?

Sometimes, the things that are “bad” for the economy are exactly what’s good for the planet — and for us. 🌍💚

PS: Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don’t even buy bicycles! 😄

Why I Don’t Allow Teen Sleepovers

Some may see it as harmless fun, but as a parent, I see things differently. I love my kids too much to put them in situations where they might be vulnerable or unsafe.

Overnight gatherings often mean less supervision, more pressure from peers, and choices that can change lives in ways teens aren’t ready for. I’d rather protect them now than regret later.

Friendship, bonding, laughter—they don’t need to happen in the middle of the night, away from home. There are safer, healthier ways for teens to enjoy their youth without the risks.

This isn’t about being strict. It’s about love, guidance, and wanting the best for them. Because at the end of the day, keeping our children safe is worth every “No” we say.

Why I Say No to Sleepovers

To my teenager,
I know you think I’m being unfair when I say no.
I know it feels like I don’t trust you.
But the truth is—it’s not you I don’t trust… it’s this world.

This world can be cruel.
Not everyone has good intentions.
Not every home is safe.
Behind closed doors, things can happen that change lives forever—things I could never undo for you.

So when I say no to sleepovers, it’s not because I want to take away your fun.
It’s because I know how quickly “fun” can turn into danger.
It’s because I’d rather you be upset with me today,
than hurt in a way that I can never protect you from.

My “no” is not rejection.
My “no” is love.
And one day, you’ll see it too. ❤️

Accountability is NOT Optional

When leaders steal, cheat, or look the other way, it’s not just “politics as usual.”

Corruption robs our children of good schools.

It drains our hospitals of life-saving medicines.

It leaves our roads broken, our farmers poor, our future uncertain.

The Philippines doesn’t fall apart overnight—it crumbles slowly when accountability is ignored.

Corruption is not just about money. It is about lives, dreams, and the nation we leave behind.

As legit TAX PAYERS, we should Demand HONESTY. Demand ACCOUNTABILITY.

As Professor Dumbledore wisely said, “It tales a GOOD MAN to do NOTHING for EVIL to SUCEED.”

Because a truly strong Philippines begins with leaders—and citizens—who REFUSE to let CORRUPTION win.

(UPDATE) SEN. Panfilo Lacson appealed for “greed control” on Thursday, and said lawmakers who proposed insertions in the national budget should answer for ghost infrastructure projects they had sponsored.
