Filipino Food Isn’t this illegal in the Philippines?

They are advertising the prices before VAT. As far as I know unlike in other countries, it’s illegal to show prices before tax even if you add “+VAT” anywhere on the graphics.

I was shocked when the total amount of our receipt was higher than we originally intended (one of my companions paid for it and we were immediately assisted to our table). We already had a budget in mind and I personally didn’t notice the small +VAT sign since I know this is illegal. The monitor is also playing a video and this slide appears for just a few seconds and you won’t really have enough time to notice the “+VAT” part unless you specifically look for it.

This is also the first time I’ve eaten in Cabalen since 2013/2014. All their food items are of “meh” quality. Totally not worth it. Even the fried kangkong which I used to love tasted nothing like before, the “Authentic Kapampangan” sisig did not taste anything like the real sisig.

I honestly felt bad for the group of foreigners who chose to dine at this place earlier.

Akala ko ba safe sa Davao?

ang bilis talaga nila magpaikot ng narrative pag dating sa syudad nila kapag may inconvenience or something against sa pinapakita nilang status quo about sa Duterteland and Davao City.

GovtServicesPH School administration forced minors/students to strip down to underwear during a search—is this legal?

120 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for general legal perspective on an incident that happened today at a school.
Earlier today (between 9:20 and 10:00 AM), school administration officials (specifically an assistant principal) ordered a group of Grade 9 students in the junior high department to remove their pants/trousers down to their underwear(ALL MALE STUDENTS). The stated reason for this strip search was that someone allegedly saw a student smoking a vape on campus.
From my understanding, no formal law enforcement was involved at the exact moment of the strip search, but school staff conducted/enforced it directly on campus premises.
My questions are:

  1. Do school administrators have the legal authority to force students to strip down to their underwear for suspected contraband like a vape?
  2. Does this cross the line into unlawful search/seizure, psychological abuse, or a violation of minor protection laws?
  3. What are the proper legal steps or channels for parents/guardians to file a formal complaint against the school administration for this?
  4. Any insights or guidance on relevant child protection or education laws would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

NewsPH Interesting Numbers for Leni (45.7%) and Baste (43.2%) in a 1v1 election match as surveyed by Momentum Research

Thoughts: very interesting indeed that both are statistically tie even though Baste is not on the limelight for a long time aside from a being a witness at the impeachment trial.

Also added a multi-candidate scenario: VP still leads at 44.3 pct, Leni at 19.4 pct, and Raffy at 11.1 pct.

So this begs the question:

  1. Is the "Duterte Magic" real?

  2. If Yes, is it less of "Sara" and more of the "Duterte" surname, i.e., any of the siblings can carry the torch

  3. Can "Leni Magic" be transferred e.g., to Risa (if Leni decides not to run)

  4. When will Leni and/or Risa decide?

CulturePH Remember when Filipinos, in general, did not have a fast lane on escalators?

335 Upvotes

Remember when everyone just stood on escalators and it was such a hassle when you're in an emergency?

But now, I'd say, most of the time, escalator users stand on the right-hand side and not hog the space. Now there is a shared awareness to keep the left-hand side free. We were able, in spite of some resistance, to normalize this.

How did we achieve this? And how can we adapt the same methods towards normalizing using earphones in public spaces? How can we spread the awareness that we must be considerate towards other people we share public spaces with?

Do you think conscientious use of mobile phones in public spaces can be achieved?
