Analysis and Opinion By Irineo B. R. Salazar Forget all I wrote about the Philippines in this blog. Watch Trese to get what haunts the country. While my writings touch the auditory aspect of our beings and I have looked at things with logic, Trese goes deeper by touching our feelings, showing us pictures and telling a compelling story. LOOKING DEEPER […]
Trese and today’s haunted Philippines
“To have global fans boosting our tourism, learning our cultures, studying our languages,” Josh says. “Just like in other countries, I can see our artists being able to evolve our industries, too.”
These are lofty goals for sure, but not at all impossible. In the three years since SB19 debuted, several Filipino idol groups have emerged and are showing great promise such as 1st.One, Alamat, BGYO and Bini among others. Notably, Alamat has members from different Filipino ethnicities who sing and rap in their own languages: Tagalog, Kapampangan, Hiligaynon, Ilocano, Waray, and Bisaya.
Like SB19, P-pop boy group 1st.One, whose Filipino-Korean member Jayson was discovered after appearing on “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,” was formed by a Korean management agency. They underwent idol training for two years prior to their debut, during which time they also won two international dance competitions and performed alongside the biggest K-pop idols at the 2020 Seoul Music Awards.
One might think this could lead to a toxic rivalry common among entertainment fandoms; refreshingly, on the comments section of 1st.One’s debut single “You Are The One” are messages of encouragement from A’TIN. SB19 has raised the bar so high for P-pop, they say, and this is the result. Others mention how happy “Pinuno” must be that groups like 1st.One are doing well, since this is his vision.

Analysis and Opinion By Irineo B. R. Salazar Twenty Years Ago 20 years ago, Filipinos massed along EDSA again, nearly 15 years after they had gathered on that avenue to oust a dictator. This time it was to oust a populist who later became Mayor of Manila. Erap or Joseph Estrada was Mayor of San […]
Twenty Years Ago
Was about to sleep. Seeing American Democracy like this moves me to tears. Need to walk.
Madaling tumulo ang luha ko lately.
I got overly emotional while reading One Piece’s Chapter 1000.
And i was in tears when I saw that warnock won a senate seat. The power of one. Thank you Georgia. Thank you Stacey Abrams and team.
The three components of independent-mindedness work in concert: fastidiousness about truth and resistance to being told what to think leave space in your brain, and curiosity finds new ideas to fill it.
Interestingly, the three components can substitute for one another in much the same way muscles can. If you’re sufficiently fastidious about truth, you don’t need to be as resistant to being told what to think, because fastidiousness alone will create sufficient gaps in your knowledge. And either one can compensate for curiosity, because if you create enough space in your brain, your discomfort at the resulting vacuum will add force to your curiosity. Or curiosity can compensate for them: if you’re sufficiently curious, you don’t need to clear space in your brain, because the new ideas you discover will push out the conventional ones you acquired by default.
A Programmer’s Guide to Compliance Regulations
An important part of the planning phase of the software development life cycle is understanding what regulations will apply to your software. If you are an independent programmer looking to build your own startup, you need to understand these regulations so you can avoid heavy fines, criminal lawsuits, or a potential suspension of your business.
If you work for a company, this will help you to build applications that are compliant by design. This way, you and your supervisors will save a significant amount of time, because you won’t have to go back and make as many changes to your first version of the application.
Remember, you are working as part of a business, so having an understanding of the business requirements of the software you write will help make you a more valuable programmer. Depending on where in the world you are, where your customers are, and the industry that your application will be used in, this will affect the regulations that govern how your application must handle consumer information.

May bata na naka costume ng wolf
Biglang binaril tapos ni litson
Nung nakita ng tao na tao din yung wolf
Kinain pa din nila
Thought about this while thinking of Rizal, and the I don’t care 4 fatal shots while listening to the David Chang and CL podcast episode.
There are three components to HIPAA compliance: a privacy rule to protect consumers’ rights, a security rule to mandate how companies must protect consumers’ information, and enforcement rules that mandate consequences for noncompliance. To be compliant with this regulation, it’s important to get consent from the users if you are going to use their information for anything other than treatment, payment, or health care operations.

This potential shift could have devastating consequences for extremely expensive places, but it could also spread wealth more evenly. Before the pandemic, “America had become less mobile than almost at any point in our history,” Kelman says. “No matter what the economic cost of being in San Francisco, people would pay it.” Having more remote workers means “wages in Texas are going up,” he says. So are housing prices. “You can’t have a $2 million, 2,000-square-foot house in San Francisco and a $200,000 house in Dallas that are basically the same for very long when there are airplanes and internet connections and Zoom.”
None of this makes the decisions employees have to make over the next several months any easier, especially for those who relocated in a hurry. Musiker, the Redfin communications director, has until May to figure out whether she’s staying in Rochester permanently and taking the pay cut. She’s still not sure—and the decision will depend partly on whether her husband is allowed to work remotely after the pandemic—but she’s more open to living upstate than she ever thought she’d be. “We were making a lot of sacrifices in Brooklyn,” Musiker says. In Rochester, “we get so much more for our money.”
