it would appear to be the case that China exported 256,681 vehicles to the Philippines in 2025.

However, at the same time the total number of cars (passenger and commercial ones together) sold in the Philippines in 2025 came in at just below 500,000.

The article explains how by the end of Senior High school only 0.4% of students are considered proficient in their subjects.

Yet, in my opinion they (the government) persist in suggesting solutions that ignore the basic problems.
1. The teacher education sucks, it is way to easy to become a certified teacher. As a result the quality of the average teacher is below par. The other result...

So, hopefully, this will have the same effect! But I am currently building an Ark just in case.

Tropical Depression Wilma (as in the Flintstones) is passing through on Sunday - mostly affecting the north of the island. The rate of travel keeps changing so it could be sooner than Sunday or later.

On the same day there is a brownout from 6 am to 6 pm - there is a huge list of areas affected, so assume...

As a temporary band-aid solution Noreco has put the Dauin load onto a transformer in Bagacay, Dumaguete, until that exploded transformer can be replaced, which may take fairly long (as in: several months).

I can see why iron would be in the water but perhaps if no-one else has the problem it may be due more to my water tank being rusty inside (all pipework is plastic).

I've been trying to source a mini excavator for the farm and am not having much luck. I've tried to contact a couple companies out of Cebu and never get a response back from my emails and am not excited to try and import one.

Has anyone seen a place in Negros that carries them?

Thanks in advance!
