Pet peeve: people dragging their shoes while walking. Was just at a nice-enough restaurant and there was this waiter generating a lot of noise on the wooden floor with his shoe-drag. Ang bigat ba talaga ng sapatos mo, hijo? So annoying! Like scratchy chalk on blackboard. 😡

Nakaka frustrate talaga pag humingi ka ng mga simpleng dokumento sa gobyerno tulad ng certification o true copies tapos ang sagot sa yo “balik na lang kayo at wala pa yong gumagawa niyan.” Ano yan? Jan4 na, nasa bakasyunan pa rin? 😡

On the heels of “technical issues” that halted hundreds of flights on New Year’s Day, DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista said the government may need more than P13B to upgrade the country’s air traffic management system to prevent future flight suspensions. https://t.co/Tb8egexQOI

Asked about a system replacement, DOTr Sec. Jimmy Bautista said the current CNS/ATM System used by the CAAP is based on a 2010 technology that was commissioned in 2018 (the Philippine govt borrowed PHP13B from JICA for this project). 📸: OPS/PCOO #AvGeekPH #CAAPSerye

I’ve always wondered why some Filipinos go abroad for New Year’s Eve when our celebration is widely acknowledged as the liveliest. Now I have an additional reason for staying put. Airport hassles. And I’m not just talking about that horrid incident yesterday. Could be just me tho

If our Group could be of any help to DOTr/CAAP, we’d be happy to participate - colocation of 2nd, even 3rd, redundancies in our nationwide data centers, required connectivities - fiber, satellite, wireless - robust even redundant power supply protection etc.Let’s all support.

Referee Tina Poletan of Bosnia with a wholly inappropriate stoppage there. A gross display of incompetence
One of the worst stoppages I’ve ever seen at the ASBC Championships this evening, as 🇺🇿’s Adkhamjon Mukhiddinov beats Paul Julyfer Bascon of 🇵🇭 via first round RSC. You’d think after all the warnings, amateur boxing might try to get its act together. Apparently not
