Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

i wonder what humans' life expectancy rate would be if every person had a loaded gun by their bedside

[–] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

probably more than 10 years life expectancy decrease since babies and children...

RIP Ronaldo Valdez 😢

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude is only 76?? I thought he was at least pushing 90 by now because he was already old when I was watching him as a child, haha.

[–] pobautista@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He seemed perpetually old since the 90s (see Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe)

TW:

Suicide pala cause of death due to him having prostate cancer.

[–] pobautista@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm still in denial, but I hope a more credible source arises.

Reports mentioned that the QCPD did not disclose further details about Ronaldo’s demise.

An article from Daily Tribune reported that he “allegedly” died by “suicide,” citing the QCPD.

The report, published six hours ago as of writing, said that the police were still waiting for a “result” from a laboratory exam from “SOCO” or the Scene of Crime Operatives.

Actor-comedian Janno Gibbs, one of Ronaldo’s children, also confirmed the passing of the veteran actor, but did not disclose details.

“The family would like to request that you respect our privacy in our grieving moment. Your prayers and condolences are much appreciated,” he said on Instagram on December 18.

Meanwhile, the QCPD on the same day urged the public “to refrain from concluding and respect the family’s request to grieve in private.”

Has the concept of 13th Month pay destroyed the average filipino's capacity to save for the future?

by average I mean minimum wage earner

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pangit din kasi timing nung 13th month pay. Sa Christmas natatapat or the month when you usually pay for the other half of matriculation fees or outstanding balances.

Then again, if you have a decent amount of leftover money to begin with, saving or buying small stocks shouldn't be a problem.
