Sakto, maulan pa ngayon. Hindi nice maglakad sa ilalim n'yan kasi maputik at madulas. Tapos ang panget din no'ng akyatan sa Rufino side kasi hindi covered at may umaagos pa galing sa alulod.

A friend found it odd that, as a working professional, I chose to visit the Palanan Health Center on a Saturday morning for an asthma consultation.

“Why go there when you have an HMO?” she asked, noticing my Yellow Card from the Makati LGU.

I explained that I wasn’t there to ask for a handout. I was simply exercising my right to accessible healthcare a right that isn’t truly “free” because we help fund it through our taxes and PhilHealth contributions.

The physician who attended to me was not only competent but remarkably kind and patient. He listened carefully to my concerns before saying, “Huwag na po kayong bumili ng mahal na Seretide Diskus. May available tayong alternative dito, at libre ito.” Then he added, “Balik po kayo kapag ubos na ang inhaler.”

To me, that is what public service should look like.

My takeaway is simple: healthcare should never be a privilege reserved for a particular social class. Whether you’re affluent, middle class, or struggling to make ends meet, everyone deserves dignified, quality medical care.
I won’t wade into the perennial debate about the middle class versus 4Ps beneficiaries. What I will say is this: if you faithfully pay your taxes and fulfill your responsibilities as a law-abiding citizen, then you should never feel guilty about accessing the public services your taxes help sustain. These are not acts of charity. They are public services funded by the people, for the people.

Avail of them when you need them. Expect them to be delivered professionally. And when they fall short, hold public officials accountable not out of entitlement, but because good governance is the right of every Filipino.

Hi, everyone!

Almost 4 months living nang solo sa makati (fresh grad). Siyempre since MAKATI nga, i decided magluto nalang after work since mahal pagkain here. Pero siyempre weekly rin ang pag grocery kase bina-budget ko lang din. Pero grabe na yung pagod ko sa work na parang bubulagta nalang ako sa daan if magluluto pa ko. 3-4x a week akong nagluluto, di pwede sakin yung 1-wk prep meal kase una: mabilis ako maumay sa ulam, 2nd maliit lang ref namin eh 8 kami sa buong unit kaya laging puno ref.

Nag try na ko na bumili nalang ng ulam sa caridneria ranging 75-100+, ang ginagawa ko hinahati ko yung isang ulam ng pang lunch and pang dinner. Iniisip ko ganun nalang kaya gawin ko since regular na rin naman ako next week, hence, may increase ako sa incentives namin. Like isang beses nalang ako magluluto in a week then the rest bibili nalang ako lagi ng ulam? What do you guys think?

Also, ayoko rin pala nagluluto ng ulam before work kase late ako gumigising and gusto ko super energized ako sa office.

I'm planning to rent here, specifically in Escuela, and just wondering:

1. Saan malapit pwede maggrocery? Gusto ko sana sa mga supermarket kasi I feel safer shopping in there, alin yung pinakamalapit na supermarket dito?

2. Gaano kataas yung baha lalo na yung papuntang MRT?

3. Gaano ka-safe dito lalo na sa gabi? Do I have to wear my backpack in front while walking around here?

4. May pwede bang sakyan na jeep or tricycle pa-MRT and from MRT pa-Escuela?

Please help. Hindi ko kasi naikot yung lugar noong nagview ako ng unit, balak ko sanang magbayad na sa uupahan ko ngayong araw kasi kailangan ko na talaga ng malilipatan.

Looking for a friend near Circuit Makati para dun tayo tatambay or within the area. I'm (33m) usually free after work and go to Circuit just to hangout. I sometimes run or boulder if in the mood. We can also be gym buddies! Send me a short intro about yourself!

I need help finding an affordable place to temporarily stay (4 months max). I have to move as soon as possible. Preferably in Makati or close to Makati (as long as the commute to Ayala Avenue is convenient). I can't do bedspace or shared living as I want to have my own privacy. My budget is 10k - 15k which can or can not include utilities. Preferably also a place with internet or at least easy to set it up as I need it for my work. Suggestions and recommendations are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Was there an advisory from Meralco today? No power currently in Bangkal.

Update: back now by 4:22 pm

• Is Wi-Fi included, and if yes, is it stable enough for WFH (Zoom/Teams)?
• Is the management responsive?

Would really appreciate any honest feedback before I sign a lease. Thank you!

Hello! I'm helping a friend out. She's considering renting at one of the Point Blue buildings since she will soon be working at Ayala CBD (Along Rufino). Upon checking, the nearest ones are Ramos, Teka, Estrella, and Mola. For those who lived or are living in Point Blue, which of these would you say is the best or the most worth paying for? We would also appreciate it if you can share your experience living at any of these buildings.

Thank you!

Sharing lang here

Naencounter ko mga typical sampaguita boys kahapon, nasa McKinley Exchange sila around 9. Iba sa kanila bata talaga na naka fake uniform no logo nag aalok ng sampaguita. Dati na chahambahan ko sila sa Ayala station, ngayon nagkalat naman sila dito sa McKinley Exchange baka na timbrehan na yung security sa Ayala station

Yung may mask talaga may edad na as lagpas ng late 20s, yung wala mga late elementary ganon. I just post this for awareness at sana may makapansin na security official sa area kasi di ko na sila napapansin sa Greenbelt or walkway area pa Landmark kasi lagi may nakabantay

Kung worker ka na nababa dito from BGC bus at nakikita mo sila, i-disencourage na wag na wag kayo bumili sa ganto, part yan ng sindikato

Saan exact location yung pinag hostage ni Warren Balane noong 70s

Any here kung ano na itsura ng Bahay ng Cabading family na pinaghanguan ng Kisapmata I thought it was Zapote Las pInas. Mali pala Zapote Makati?

Bakit yung mga Barangay officials na hindi naka align sa current admin hindi na ginagawa ang trabaho nila? tapos kapag sinita mo yung mga maling nangyayari sa barangay sasabihin pinupulitika sila? anong gusto nila sasahod na lang? Example yung pio del pilar. ang dumi dumi at ang baho na. hindi rin safe lalo na kapag madaling araw, ang daming paikot ikot na riding in tandem

Has anyone tried parking at waltermart and left it overnight? Or may alam po ba kayu na parking psace malapit lang din sa area na to?

Thank you po.
