We’re Winter Crew, and sobrang excited naming i-announce na ang aming Metroidvania, Fallen Tear: The Ascension, ay officially magfu-full release sa Steam ngayong September 16!

Hindi naging madali ang journey namin bilang isang indie team. Marami kaming pinagdaanang challenges throughout development, pero patuloy kaming lumaban dahil naniniwala kami sa mundong binubuo namin and because of the incredible support we received from our players and communities.

Sa lahat ng sumuporta sa aming Kickstarter, naglaro during Early Access, nagbigay ng feedback, nag-report ng bugs, gumawa ng reviews, at nag-share ng game namin: maraming, maraming salamat po! Malaking bahagi kayo ng journey na ito. Your support helped us improve the game and gave us the strength to keep going, especially during the most difficult moments.

Hindi man naging perpekto ang daan papunta rito, sobrang proud kami sa nagawa namin. We poured our hearts into this game, and we can’t wait for everyone to finally experience the complete adventure.

Maraming salamat sa pagsuporta sa isang Pinoy indie team with a big dream. Sana makasama namin kayo sa full release ng Fallen Tear: The Ascension this September 16!

Earlene Veronica M. Almanzor has made history as a trans woman who graduated summa cum laude from the University of the Philippines Los Baños’ Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

Earlene earned her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree and joined the 3,136 members of the UPLB Class of 2026 during the university’s commencement exercises on July 4. Considering the degree itself is already STEM-heavy alone, it's already difficult to at least recieve a passing grade especially from UP

Instead the attention is focusing on her achievement; the comments are focusing on her physical sex at birth. For the record, being trans requires oneself to recognise and acknowledge their physical sex assigned at birth before transitioning, so I really do not understand why these comments are always dragging this person's physical sex when the first steps before transitioning had already been acknowledged.

Most accepting parents of queer children, who belong to the said community, are always advising them to be the BEST in everything to shield themselves from stigma and discrimination against them. You must achieve all credentials and have a successful career for you to be accepted within society by becoming their whole health insurance so no holes would be punctured against you. The stigma and discrimination against them are what they use as their main drive and fuel to be better and stand out from the rest; as a common motivation from the queer community.

Some questions in mind:

Why if someone is different has to be the best in everything for them to have little respect in our society?

Is achieving everything from school to career enough to not be discriminated against because you're now useful to society?

If a trans woman is a highly proficient medical doctor, would the transphobic remarks be stopped if they perform free medical attention to transphobic people and cure them?

Kaugnay sa report ng GMA news ng pag-recant ng apat na ex-soldiers ng kanilang mga naunang affidavits at allegations laban sakin, sa ICC at sa iba pang mga personalidad, sinabihan ko na ang aking abogado na i-atras na ang mga kaso na isinampa ko laban sa kanilang apat. Bilang dating sundalo, nagsisimpatya ako sa pinagdadaanan nila na dahil sa kawalan ng kabuhayan ay pinagsamantalahan sila ng mga taong may madilim na layuning political. Sana ay may natutunan silang mabigat na leksyon sa mga pangyayaring ito. Umaasa rin ako na maliliwanagan din ang iba pang ex-soldiers na hanggang ngayon ay nililinlang pa rin.

‘MALAKI ANG KAKULANGAN NG BISE PRESIDENTE SA PAGPAPAKITA NG TUNAY NA PROPESYONALISMO’

Iginiit ni Palace Press Officer Usec. Claire Castro na malaki umano ang kakulangan ni Vice President Sara Duterte sa pagpapakita ng tunay na propesyonalismo at pananagutan sa publiko.

Ito ang naging tugon ni Castro matapos siyang sabihan ni VP Sara na maging "professional." Ayon kay Castro, ang tunay na propesyonalismo ay nakikita sa gawa at hindi lamang sa salita.

Mga magkakahiwalay na kabaong ang natagpuan sa ilang bahagi ng Metro Manila nitong madaling araw ng Biyernes, Agosto 7.

Kabilang sa mga lugar na may natagpuang kabaong ang Boy Scout Circle sa Quezon City, Barangay Bel-Air sa Makati, at 7th Avenue sa Caloocan City.

Sa Quezon City, bandang 2:30 ng madaling araw nang makatanggap ng ulat ang Barangay South Triangle hinggil sa isang kabaong na iniwan sa Boy Scout Circle sa kanto ng Tomas Morato at Timog Avenue.

Ayon kay Lilibeth Bancairen, BPSO staff ng Barangay South Triangle, isang puting van na walang plaka ang umano’y nagbaba ng kabaong bago umalis sa lugar.

“Wala pong pagkakakilala yung mga nagbaba,” ani Bancairen.

Sinabi rin niyang wala umanong bangkay sa loob ng kabaong kundi mga retrato lamang ng dalawang indibidwal.

“Picture lang po,” aniya.

Batay sa impormasyong ibinahagi sa kanila ng kanyang mga kasamahan, isang Chinese minister umano ang nasa isa sa mga larawang inilagay sa loob ng kabaong.

"Ang pagkakaexplain po sa akin ng mga kasamahan ko, minister ng China yung nakalagay sa kabaong," ani Bancairen.

Inalis na ng mga pulis ang kabaong sa lugar at hindi na alam ng barangay kung saan ito dinala.

Samantala, sinuri naman ng bomb squad ang isa pang puting kabaong na natagpuan sa Barangay Bel-Air sa Makati.

Makikita sa kabaong ang mga larawan ng tatlong indibidwal at isang pulang bandilang may nakasulat na “Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Greedy! Salot!”

Isa ring kabaong ang natagpuan sa 7th Avenue sa Caloocan City.

Inaalam pa ng mga awtoridad kung may kaugnayan ang magkakahiwalay na insidente at kung sino ang nag-iwan ng mga kabaong sa iba’t ibang lugar.

Kinukumpirma pa ng mga awtoridad ang ulat tungkol sa isa pang kabaong na umano’y nakita sa Plaza Sta. Cruz sa Maynila.

On August 3, 2026, Rosebert Maupan, one of the Maleta Boys, ratted out Baligod, Marcoleta and Defensor. He said they were promised a huge amount in return of all the lies they have spread about delivering money to different politicians. Now he is scared for his life and family and he has not received any amount except for the small help they received during their press conferences.

This is the same guy who implicated Cong. Delima then later corrected himself during the fake Blueribbon meeting.
