In Metro Manila, I’m hypothesizing that every remaining vibrant community has at least one bakery - reducing travel demand, keeping sidewalks safer (since some of them open early/close later), as well as supporting the local economy.

To improve mobility FOR ALL, the best thing to do is to allocate a separate lane for bikes + separate lane for motorcycles.
Ma-“traffic” kasi madaming kotse, so dapat mabawasan ang kotse by promoting biking.

The popular figurehead of the Communist Party of the Philippines, Jose Maria Sison, has died at 83 after decades of exile in Utrecht. “End of an era” doesn’t even begin to cut it, although tbh the Philippine political landscape has irrevocably changed over the last five years; deaths (like elections, signed agreements, typhoons) just serve as more legible milestones.
Robert JA Basilio Jr.Ericson Acosta was one of two Kultura section editors of the Philippine Collegian, the student newspaper of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City in the mid-nineties. I was the other one.
Brent ToderianOne of the most important strategic policy decisions any city hall makes is passing a municipal budget. Hundreds of policy decisions are embedded in a #budget. What’s overfunded, what’s underfunded, what’s not funded at all.
You can find more truth in a city’s budget that in any vision statement or council-approved goal statement. Too many cities have budgets and visions that are completely inconsistent, or at best, not consistent enough.

Carlos Conde13 years ago today, we were stunned by a horrific #politicalviolence in the #Philippines.
58 people -- nearly half of them #journalists and #media workers -- were brutally murdered and buried in a mass grave in the southern Philippines province of #Maguindanao. The massacre, carried out by state-backed militias, is the world's worst ever attack on journalists.

“They Own the People”
This 96-page report charts the Ampatuans’ rise to power, including their use of violence to expand their control and eliminate threats to the family’s rule. It is based on more than 80 interviews, including with people having insider knowledge of the Ampatuan family security structure, victims of abuses and their family members, and witnesses to crimes.
Beginning to genuinely enjoy #academicmastodon and #infosecmastodon as a lurker, but it still feels so performatively experimental. Like compartmentalised LinkedIn on steroids. I’m still hoping this platform gets to that lovely saturation point where you get cat memes, breaking news, scihub preprints, joyous livetweets (toots?), microfiction and drunken shitposting in a span of a few heartbeats.
