We called this tree "Lunok". There are seven of them behind my late grandmother's house. Each of them looks like this one. They are believed to be a whole kingdom of other dimensional beings, by the elders.

The rest of the #Philippines votes today between #Marcos allies and #Duterte allies.

Meanwhile, #Makatizens are voting between #Binay versus #Binay for #Makati City, the country's richest.

People don't really need to search for their precincts every #ElectionsPH, it's in the Voter's ID card.

Why is it that Filipinos don't have a Voter's ID when it's part of registration? They forgot to pick it up or lost it?

If you're a foreigner, there's nothing new with detained people winning in an #elections here in the #Philippines.

If you're a local #Filipino and you were surprised by this, I guess this was the first time you voted or paid attention? Welcome to #PHpols kabayan!

The #Philippines is in Asia but this is what my city looks like. There's nothing #Asian or #Asean—all European 😭 and this is actually called Korean town...

Wow. The #Philippines tried it multiple times for the last 10 years, and was often blocked by motorcycle and scooter drivers (with non-owners joining the fray).If this becomes a success in Korea, I won't be surprised if it's revived yet again here in the Philippines. 😅

Thanks to the #KKK the #Philippines gained its independence from Spain—after more than 300 years of oppression.

Today marks the 127th #Independence of the #Filipino nation.

Now I am curious, what's our #Filipino word for #Fediverse and #SocialWeb ?

So far, I these for potential Filipino translation of "Fediverse":

- bigkisberso (bigkis + uniberso)
- sansinukob = used in Filipino astronomy and literature to refer to the "universe" (I personally like this one)
- bukob (buklod + sukob) = just my invention

Other suggestions?

Since we're talking about the Filipino language (not Tagalog language), this means all Philippine languages are valid. We can combine them together, even use the 6th vowel /ë/.

But how about "Social Web"?

I was told that the Filipino for "Internet" is "daigbatan". I'm just not sure though since I can't find information on "batan" other than:

- Original name of Bataän was Batan, a Spanish word for "log" (🪵) which the province was named after by the Spaniards.
- The Ivatan people call themselves in the Ivatan language as "Batan". (Yes, Batanes = Isles of [the] Batan [people]. Batan + Isles (just my theory, but it makes logical sense 😝))

So, I'm not sure why "Internet" is "daigbatan".

My thought process is, "social web" could be:
- liponbatan = literally social network
- daiglipon = lit. world social; web social

Other suggestions?

I wish the organizers of the #Superman tour here in the #Philippines listed @jamesgunn @jamesgunn@threads.net 's #Fediverse so Filipinos will get curious. 😉

But, then again, the local organizers only know Meta and Elon. 😅

I may be very biased, but Mt. Mayon is one of the most imposing places I’ve ever seen in the #philippines . Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing in the area, you’ll find yourself stopping and looking at it.

There’s a popular belief wherein Mayon only shows itself to people who are “pure of heart”.

If that’s true, then I hope that person stays there so everyone who visits can see the volcano fully. It’s too beautiful to miss.

Good thing I did more research on straws. In the end, glass straws and steel/metal straws are not worth it. Silicone is still the best option, or Tritan™ brand.

Now, where can I find a Tritan branded straw (which is better than Silicone). I can't find any in #Shopee #Philippines .
