MANILA — The government will borrow P2.46 trillion to partly fund the P5.768 trillion national budget for next year, Rep. Stella Quimbo said Tuesday.

Some 43.32 percent of the 2024 national budget will come from borrowings, while the remaining 57 percent will be financed by local revenues, said Quimbo, senior vice chair of the House Appropriations Committee.

"From borrowings, it would be P2.46 trillion," she said during the House of Representatives plenary deliberations on next year's proposed budget.

Quimbo also said that the 2024 national budget sets aside resources for programs critical in accelerating the nation's growth.

MANILA, Philippines — A panel in the Senate has finally approved a consolidated measure that provides for an absolute divorce in the Philippines.

Instituting divorce is part of Senate Bill No. 2443, which aims to expand the grounds for the dissolution of marriage.

Had this funny thought of mind had to share 🤣

Edit: Here is my thought process the partner would be the scientists who keeps releasing statistics/ safe word that we're heading to doom. The other partner would be the us who consume this statistics and suppose to interpretate this appropriately to slow down/stop. But instead to continue ahead with what we're doing anyway. Both parties know that there is something bad but none of the parties can't stop it. Hopefully that made sense.

Edit: I think I hit a lot of nerve on some people but here is my thinking, a cancer acts like a single cell because the very first cell stops functioning with the benefit of the host it's more into itself. Some cancer will live outside the body can be cut and still multiply ain't that a behavior of a single cell? E.g. Henrietta Lacks another is CTVT.

Just got my DITO sim today was testing out stuff, after downloading their app I noticed it seem to be asking a bit too much permissions. What you guys think? Is the permissions being asked justified?
