Golfer misadventure.

GOLFER RECOUNTS 16-HOUR TRAVEL ORDEAL FROM BAGUIO AFTER GOLF BUDDIES TRIP 

It was supposed to be a happy golfing trip with officemates to surprise a boss living in Baguio for a belated birthday celebration and a despedida 

Never mind the bad weather but they all got their golf fix, dined with their boss at BPI and spent most of the night sharing all the golf stories they have in their pockets.

But some good things never last, as the phrase goes.

They went back home expecting some traffic along the way because of the rains. They were wrong.

What the app Waze told them to be a slightly longer than usual trip turned to be the most horrible traffic misadventure they've ever experienced. And so did the hundreds of others who got stuck in another episode of carmageddon that was caused by the flooding on the San Simon, Pampanga area of the Northern Luzon Expressway.

Here's a timeline of how the homeward trip as recounted by Martin Uytengsu.

7:05 am, August 31 - Departure Baguio

9:25 am - Detour to San Fernando S&R toilet trouble 🚽 💩

(since NLEX San Simon update traffic at two-kilometer stretch already) only to find out McArthur via JASA-Lazatin road was flooded waist deep

10:15am - Re-entry NLEX for 5 hours of 2 kph stop and go movement

3:26 pm - Reached San Simon (32kms away from Bocaue 😭) so near yet so far just to be advised Class 1 vehicles not possible anymore. Made a U-turn northbound to gas up at Lakeshore then routed SCTEX-CLLEX Cabanatuan reroute (+80km)

4:37 pm - Took the Tarlac-Cabanatuan Exit (Bgy. San Leonardo)

6 pm - Horror begins as gridlock occurs at Bgy San Miguel Bulacan stretch. Waze reroutes to San Rafael.

8:40 pm - Waze re-routes us again via Eagle Cement San Rafel to San Ildefonso from originally Cabiao Road. Just when we thought the worst has ended apparently after almost 30 kms traverse up Eagle Cement the worst has yet to come. Waze reroutes farm to market and back roads. We saw first hand unfinished roads if not horrific mega pot holes and substandard roadworks, with motorists traversing mud. We thought we were done for 😆 2 hrs off-roading in a family van 😂

10:40 pm - Finally found the decent main road at San Ildefonso ByPass stretch to NLEX Balagtas Exit

12:01 am, September 1 - Arrival in Bacoor, Cavite

Uytengsu says that traveling on August 31 which was the National Heroes Day made them unwilling heroes on NLEX. And the arrival time was just right to join Jose Mari Chan in welcoming the BER months.

Maybe That's Enough.

This really touched my heart. ❤️

Maybe because I’m at a season in life where I’m becoming more aware of the difference between what I can do and what I still have the energy to do.

And that realization can be humbling.

We don’t stay the same forever. Our bodies change, our priorities change, and our seasons change.

But perhaps what we carry within us, our values, experiences, wisdom, relationships, and the things we’ve poured into others, can continue long after our own capacity begins to slow down.

That’s what I want to hold on. 🥰

To keep giving, keep serving, keep building, but in ways that matter.

For now, I just want to enjoy this season.

Do what I can, help where I can, and be grateful for the people and opportunities God continues to put in my path. ❤️

And maybe that’s enough. 🙏😇🫶

Novak Djokovic cried on court at the US Open, and it was not because he was losing a tennis match.

He has lost matches before. He is 39 years old with 24 Grand Slam titles and a career longer than some of his opponents have been alive. Losing is not what breaks a man like that.

What broke him was the realization.

Here is what actually happened on Sunday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Djokovic, chasing a record 25th major, lost to Mariano Navone of Argentina in five sets, 7-6, 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, over four hours and thirty-five minutes.

But the scoreline hides the real story.

He struggled from the fourth game of the match. He vomited courtside, multiple times. He used an inhaler. He cramped. He took a medical timeout for his back before the fifth set. His wife Jelena watched from the stands with visible worry.

And through all of it, he was still winning. He took the second set. He took the third. He broke to lead in the fourth. For a while it looked like the old machinery would find a way, the way it always has.

Then Navone broke him in the fourth game of the deciding set, and Djokovic stood at the baseline waiting to return serve, and the tears came.

The crowd roared, willing one more comeback out of him. He had nothing left to give them. He won one of the last twelve games.

Afterward he was brutally honest, in a way that is difficult to read.

"When it comes to the match itself and the overall feeling of how I felt with my body and playing, it was really not enjoyable," he said. "I pretty much despised every moment that I spent on the court."

This was his first opening-round loss at a Grand Slam in more than twenty years. The last one was the 2006 Australian Open, when the man who beat him is now long retired and Novak was a teenager nobody had heard of.

Now look at who beat him, because it completes the picture.

Mariano Navone is 25. He had never won a five-set match in his life. He had never been past the third round of a major. He won his first ATP title only this year. By every measure of skill, experience, and pedigree, he was outclassed.

But he had one thing Djokovic no longer has.

A body that could go five hours.

That is the whole story, and it is the reason this hurts to watch.

Here is the lesson, and it is coming for every single one of us.

Your capability and your capacity are two entirely different things, and they peak at different times in your life.

Capability is what you know. Judgment, pattern recognition, tactical understanding, the ability to read a situation instantly because you have seen it a thousand times before. This keeps improving, often well into old age.

Capacity is what your body and your energy can actually execute. This peaks, and then it declines, and no amount of discipline stops it entirely.

Novak Djokovic's tennis mind has probably never been sharper. He understood exactly what to do against Navone. He simply could not do it anymore.

That gap between knowing and being able is one of the most painful experiences a person can have, and almost everyone reading this will face a version of it.

The surgeon whose hands are no longer steady. The founder who can still see the strategy but can no longer work the hours it demands. The parent who knows precisely how to help and no longer has the energy. The professional at the height of their judgment, watching younger people with half their wisdom simply outlast them.

And here is what the wise ones do about it, which is the actionable part.

They see the crossover coming and they build for it in advance. They convert capability into things that do not require capacity. Systems. Teams. Ownership. Teaching. Assets that produce without their physical presence.

The people who suffer most are the ones whose entire value depended on their own execution, right up until the day their execution left them. They never built the thing that outlives their energy, because when they had the energy it never occurred to them that it would end.

It always ends. For everyone. The only variable is whether you prepared.

One more thing worth saying about Sunday night, because it deserves saying.

Djokovic was down 6-1 in the fifth, vomiting, cramping, in visible pain and visible tears, in front of twenty thousand people and a global broadcast.

He did not retire. He finished the match.

Twenty-four Grand Slams, and he still walked to the baseline for a final game he had no chance of winning, because that is apparently who he has always been.

Whatever comes next for him, that is not a bad way to be remembered.

The body eventually says no to everyone.

What you built before it does is the only thing that carries forward.

In japan.

In September 1991, a typhoon flooded 30,000 homes across low-lying northern Tokyo.

Japan started digging the following year.

What they built sits fifty metres beneath the outskirts of the city and is now called the Underground Temple. Five concrete silos, each 65 metres tall and 32 metres wide, connected by six and a half kilometres of tunnels. At the end of it, a chamber 177 metres long and 78 metres wide, its ceiling held up by fifty-nine massive pillars. When rivers rise, floodwater pours into the silos, travels the tunnels, and collects in that chamber. Then pumps push it out into the Edo River at up to 200 tonnes of water every second.

It took fourteen years to build and cost around 2.2 billion dollars.

Here is what it has done. The facility activates roughly seven times a year and has been used more than seventy times. Its site chief says it has cut the number of homes suffering water damage in the surrounding area by about 90 percent. Official studies credit that single facility with saving 148 billion yen in disaster cleanup costs.

And it is not even Tokyo's only one. The city has ten other underground reservoirs and three more flood tunnels, with additional projects still being built. Osaka is currently constructing something similar at a cost of 3.5 billion dollars, scheduled for completion in 2044.

Now, before anyone says Tokyo is simply rich, look at what Tokyo actually is.

It is a megacity cut through by more than one hundred rivers, built largely on a floodplain, sitting inside the same typhoon belt that produces the storms we get. Its geography is not easier than ours. In several respects it is harder.

Singapore is the second example, and its geography is also unkind. A small, low-lying, intensely tropical island that receives enormous rainfall in short violent bursts. Its answer was the Marina Barrage, a dam across the mouth of the Marina Channel completed in 2008. When heavy rain coincides with low tide, gates open and the excess drains straight to the sea. When it coincides with high tide, giant pumps push the water out instead. That single structure protects the low-lying heart of the city, and Singapore has reported reducing its flood-prone area from thousands of hectares in the 1970s to a tiny fraction of that today.

And then the Netherlands, which is the most extreme case of all. Roughly a quarter of the country sits below sea level. By any reasonable reading of a map, it should be uninhabitable.

What is instructive about the Dutch is not the size of their walls. It is that they changed their entire philosophy. After decades of building ever-higher barriers, they concluded that fighting water indefinitely was a losing strategy. Their Room for the River programme did something counterintuitive. It deliberately gave rivers more space, lowering floodplains, relocating dykes further back, and creating areas designed to flood safely so that towns would not.

They stopped trying to defeat the water and started designing where it was allowed to go.

Now here is the honest part, and it is the reason this post exists.

None of these were quick. Tokyo's took fourteen years of continuous construction. Osaka's will not finish until 2044, which is eighteen years from now. The Dutch programme spanned decades and multiple governments.

These are not projects. They are generational commitments, and they only work because each successive administration continued what the previous one started rather than beginning again.

That is the real lesson, and it is the least glamorous one. The engineering is genuinely difficult, but it is solved engineering. Other countries have already done it, published how, and in Tokyo's case will happily give you a tour of the result. What is hard is the continuity. Building something for fourteen years that only proves its worth in the years afterward, and that nobody gets to cut a ribbon on quickly.

There is also a brutal accounting truth buried in the Tokyo numbers.

That facility cost 2.2 billion dollars and has saved 148 billion yen in cleanup costs alone, before counting the homes not destroyed, the businesses not shuttered, the school days not lost, and the savings not wiped out.

Prevention is almost always cheaper than recovery. It simply arrives on a different schedule, and it is invisible when it works. Nobody films the flood that did not happen. Nobody thanks a tunnel for a quiet week. The entire reward for building it correctly is that nothing occurs.

Which is exactly why it keeps losing to more visible things, everywhere in the world, until a country decides otherwise.

So the point of this post is not comparison. It is proof.

Three countries with genuinely worse geography than ours looked at recurring flooding, decided it was unacceptable rather than inevitable, and then spent decades building their way out of it. Their citizens do not have to be resilient. They just have ordinary Tuesdays.

That outcome is not a fantasy and it is not a matter of luck. It is a design problem with known solutions, a long timeline, and a heavy price tag.

The engineering exists. The blueprints are public. Tokyo will literally show you around theirs.

What it takes is deciding, and then continuing to decide, for longer than any one term.

Up where we belong.

Song by Jennifer Warnes and Joe Cocker ‧ 1982

 

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives, out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong

It's Only php20.

Last night, we were along EDSA coming from Parañaque when my Grab driver said, “Ma’am, iihi lang ako.” So we stopped at a gasoline station in Estrella, Makati.

The CR door had a digital lock, so he approached the station staff to ask how to use it.

Then the staff told him: ₱20.

TWENTY PESOS. JUST TO USE A TOILET.

My driver hesitated and pleaded, “PWD ako. Baka puwede na lang?” He even said that if he couldn’t use the restroom, he would just pee in a bottle instead.

The staff explained that he couldn’t use the restroom because there were CCTV cameras in the area, and that even using a bottle wasn’t an option. He needed to buy gas first before he could use the toilet.

I remember thinking:

“Dapat mag-gas ka pala para makagamit ng CR?”

So we drove to the next gasoline station just so he could use the restroom. Fortunately, their CR was open.

And it made me wonder: IS THIS WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULD LOOK LIKE?

What if every gasoline station we stopped at charged ₱20 every time we needed to use the restroom? For someone driving all day, those fees could quickly add up.

And where do we draw the line?

Imagine going to a mall and being told you can’t use the restroom unless you show a receipt proving that you bought something there.

Then imagine every mall restroom having a staff member assigned to check your receipt before you’re allowed inside.

It sounds absurd when you put it that way.

Because a restroom isn’t necessarily a luxury. Sometimes, you simply need one because your body needs one.

I understand that businesses have expenses. 

I understand that establishments have policies. 

And I understand the need to keep restrooms clean and secure.

But perhaps this is still worth discussing.

ARE WE SLOWLY TURNING BASIC NECESSITIES INTO PRIVILEGES THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO EARN, PAY FOR, OR QUALIFY FOR?

₱20 may sound small to some people. But for someone earning per ride, every peso has a purpose.

Sometimes, the issue isn’t really the ₱20.

It’s what the ₱20 represents. Mary Ann

It's sad to belong.

 Met you on a springtime day

You were minding your life and I was minding mine too
Lady, when you looked my way
I had a strange sensation and, darling, that's when I knew

That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

Oh, I wake up in the night
And I reach beside me hoping you will be there
But instead I find someone
Who believed in me when I said I'd always care

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along

So I'll live my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walking hand in hand
In a wishful memory
Oh, I guess that's all that it will ever be

So I'll live my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walking hand in hand
In a wishful memory
Oh, I guess that's all that it will ever be

Wish I had a time machine
I could make myself go back until the day I was born
And I would live my life again
And rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now on

Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else

5 Timeless Money Lessons from The Richest Man in Babylon

Whether you’re working long hospital shifts or navigating the daily corporate grind, it’s easy to spend all your energy making a living—and forget to build a life.

Here are 5 foundational lessons to help you reclaim your financial peace:

1. Pay yourself first.

We pour so much energy into caring for others that we often leave nothing for ourselves. Triage your own future first. Keep at least 10% of what you earn—you deserve a piece of the life you work so hard to build.

2. Don't confuse temporary relief with a true reward.

After a brutal week, it’s tempting to "treat yourself." But true freedom isn’t found in a fleeting luxury purchase. The greatest reward you can buy is the lasting peace of mind that comes from living below your means.

3. Let your money take the night shift.

You already work hard enough; it’s time your money did some of the heavy lifting. Put your savings to work in compounding, high-yield assets that don't need sleep, quietly building a foundation for your family while you rest.

4. Protect your peace by protecting your principal.

Exhaustion can make get-rich-quick schemes tempting. But just like in medicine, a steady, evidence-based approach is always safer than an unproven miracle cure. Guard your wealth and invest cautiously in what you truly understand.

5. You are your greatest asset.

The most valuable thing in your portfolio isn't a stock or a piece of real estate—it’s you. Prioritize your health, learn a new skill, and invest in your own growth. It pays the highest dividends of all.

Which of these hits home for you today? Let’s chat in the comments. 👇

Electronics Port.

Types of Electronic Ports:

Ports are physical interfaces that allow electronic devices to connect with other devices, transfer data, transmit audio/video signals, provide networking, or deliver power. Different ports use different connector designs and communication standards depending on their intended application.

🔹 12 Common Types of Ports

1. USB Type-A

One of the most widely used USB connectors for connecting computers to keyboards, mice, flash drives, printers, external storage, and other peripherals. It supports data transfer and, depending on the implementation, power delivery.

2. USB Type-C

A compact, reversible connector increasingly used in modern smartphones, laptops, tablets, monitors, and industrial electronics. It can support high-speed data, video, and power delivery depending on the USB and alternate-mode standards implemented.

3. HDMI Port

Used primarily for transmitting digital video and audio from computers, media players, gaming devices, cameras, and other equipment to displays such as monitors and televisions.

4. DisplayPort

A digital display interface commonly used with computers and professional monitors. It supports high-resolution video, high refresh rates, and multi-monitor configurations depending on the version.

5. VGA Port

An older analog video interface traditionally used to connect computers to monitors, projectors, and other displays. VGA carries video only and does not transmit digital audio.

6. Ethernet (RJ45)

Used for wired networking and Ethernet communication. It connects computers, PLCs, servers, switches, routers, industrial controllers, and other networked equipment.

7. 3.5 mm Audio Jack

A common analog audio connector used for headphones, speakers, microphones, and other audio equipment.

8. Optical (TOSLINK)

Uses optical fiber to transmit digital audio signals using light. It provides electrical isolation and is commonly found in home-audio and entertainment systems.

9. Coaxial Port

Uses a coaxial cable to carry electrical signals. Depending on the connector and application, coaxial interfaces can be used for digital audio, RF, video, instrumentation, or communications.

10. DVI Port

A digital video interface developed for computer displays. Depending on the DVI type, it can support digital video, analog video, or both.

11. Thunderbolt Port

A high-performance interface that can combine data transfer, display connectivity, and power through compatible connectors. Modern Thunderbolt implementations commonly use the USB-C connector.

12. FireWire (IEEE 1394)

A high-speed serial interface historically used for digital cameras, external storage, audio/video equipment, and other peripherals. It is much less common in modern systems.

---

⚙️ What Do Ports Actually Do?

A device port can provide one or more of these functions:

🔹 Data Transfer — USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire

🔹 Video Transmission — HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI

🔹 Audio Transmission — 3.5 mm, TOSLINK, coaxial

🔹 Network Communication — Ethernet

🔹 Power Delivery — USB Type-C and compatible implementations

🔹 Industrial Communication — Ethernet and specialized interfaces

🏭 Where Are These Ports Used?

These interfaces can be found across:

💻 Computers & laptops

📱 Smartphones & tablets

🖥️ Monitors & displays

🎮 Gaming systems

📺 TVs & entertainment equipment

🌐 Networking equipment

🏭 Industrial automation systems

📷 Cameras & recording equipment

🎛️ Audio/video systems

🔬 Test & measurement equipment

📌 Important Engineering Point

The connector shape does not always define the capability. For example, USB Type-C is a physical connector that can support different protocols and features depending on the device. Similarly, an RJ45-style connector is commonly associated with Ethernet, but the actual communication capability depends on the equipment and networking standard.

Understanding ports helps engineers and technicians select the correct cable, interface, communication protocol, bandwidth, signal type, and power requirements for a particular application.

So excited to be working with DOH Secretary Ed Mercado and Philhealth CEO & President Dr. Beverly Ho for the budget of the Department of Health!

While Philhealth head, Dr. Mercado was able to improve the serices and benefits of the agency.

Dr. Beverly Ho helped us during the deliberations, the drafting, up to the passage of the Universal Healthcare Law.

Must be fate to put all of us together to ensure that implementation of the Universal Healthcare Law will be givem utmost priority and importance with me as Chair of the Finance Committee of the Senate.

BIR ano na.

“BIR is killing the micro and small businesses.”

Nabasa ko ito online

Masakit pakinggan.

Pero ito ang frustration 

ng maraming maliit na 

negosyante.

Maliit pa ang kita.

Limitado ang puhunan.

Wala pang accountant.

Wala pang bookkeeper.

Pero ang dami nang 

kailangang intindihin.

Registration.

Books.

Invoices.

Filing.

Deadlines.

Record-keeping.

At kapag may nakaligtaan 

o nagkamali,

may penalty.

Kaya imbes na ang kita 

ay gamitin para bumili ng inventory,

mag-hire ng tao,

o palaguin ang negosyo,

napupunta ang oras 

at pera sa compliance.

Hindi naman ibig sabihin 

na dapat tanggalin ang BIR o buwis.

Kailangan pa rin ng 

gobyerno ng revenue.

At kailangan din ng 

tax system ng accountability.

Pero dapat tanungin:

“Designed ba ang 

compliance system para 

sa kapasidad ng isang 

micro business?”

Kasi hindi pareho 

ang resources ng isang 

multinational company 

at ng tindahang halos 

mag-isa lang ang may-ari.

Kung gusto nating 

dumami ang legal at

 compliant na negosyo,

dapat mas simple 

ang proseso para sa maliliit.

Mas malinaw na 

requirements.

Mas madaling 

record-keeping.

Mas abot-kayang 

compliance.

At mas proportional 

na penalties.

Hindi dapat ang pagiging 

maliit ang maging dahilan 

para mas mahirapan silang 

sumunod.

The goal of tax administration 

should be to bring more 

businesses into compliance

not push small businesses 

out of business.

Kasi ang micro business 

na nakaligtas at lumago ngayon,

maaaring maging employer, 

taxpayer, at contributor 

sa ekonomiya bukas.

Dapat Yung tambay bigyan ng trabaho.

“Yung nagnenegosyo, buwisan.

Yung nagtatrabaho, buwisan.

Yung tambay, bigyan ng tulong.”

Nabasa ko ito sa comment section

At napaisip ako after 

ko makabasa yan

Kaya minsan, hindi nakakapagtakang 

may mga taong nagtatanong:

“May incentive pa bang magsipag 

kung pareho lang ang mararamdaman 

mo sa sistema?”

Nagnenegosyo ka?

May tax.

Nagtatrabaho ka?

May kinakaltas sa sweldo.

Nagpapalago ka ng negosyo?

May compliance at iba pang obligasyon.

Samantalang kapag 

may social assistance,

may mga programang para 

naman talaga sa mga kwalipikadong 

nangangailangan.

At dito kailangang 

maging patas.

Hindi masama ang 

tumulong sa mahihirap.

May mga pamilyang 

walang sapat na pagkain.

May mga nawalan ng trabaho.

May mga tinamaan ng sakuna.

May mga taong talagang 

nangangailangan ng suporta.

Pero ang problema ay kapag 

ang sistema ay nagmumukhang 

parang pinarurusahan ang nagsisikap 

at ginagantimpalaan ang kawalan ng effort.

Hindi dapat ganoon.

Ang social assistance ay 

dapat safety net, 

hindi permanenteng kapalit 

ng trabaho at kabuhayan.

At ang taong nagtatrabaho 

at nagbabayad ng buwis 

ay dapat ding nakakaramdam ng balik:

maayos na serbisyo,

oportunidad, healthcare, 

edukasyon, at proteksyon.

Kasi ang magandang sistema 

ay hindi nagtutulak sa tao na mamili kung:

“Magsisikap ba ako o aasa na lang?”

Dapat pareho ang 

mensahe ng gobyerno:

Tulungan ang nangangailangan.

Suportahan ang nagsisikap.

At gumawa ng sistemang 

nagbibigay ng pagkakataong 

makaahon.

Make them earn it.

Mr. Jayson

Magandang tanong ’yan—at marami talagang car buyers ang nakaka-experience niyan.

Una, walang masama sa pagiging cash buyer. In fact, kung may pambili ka ng cash, that’s a position of strength.

Pero kailangan din nating maintindihan kung bakit minsan ayaw ng showroom sa cash.

Hindi dahil ayaw nila sa pera mo.

Mas maliit lang ang opportunity nila kumita dahil maraming dealership kumikita rin sa financing, insurance, accessories, at other dealer products.

Pero Jayson, here’s my advice:

Huwag kang makipag-away sa agent. Makipag-negotiate ka.

Sabihin mo upfront:

“Cash buyer ako. Ready akong mag-reserve at magbayad, provided we agree on the final all-in price.”

That’s a very different conversation from:

“Cash ako, magkano pinakamura?”

The first one tells the dealer: I’m serious and I’m ready to transact.

The second one tells them: I’m here to squeeze you.

And remember, don’t negotiate based on the monthly payment.

Negotiate the total out-the-door price.

Ask for a written quotation that clearly shows:

* Vehicle price

* Discounts

* Registration

* Insurance

* Dealer fees

* Accessories

* Any mandatory charges

* Final cash price

Then compare that number with other dealerships.

And here’s another important piece of Tito Panda advice:

Don’t fall in love with one showroom.

If one dealer tells you:

“Sir, wala kaming unit.”

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Call another dealer.

Call another branch.

Ask for their stock.

Ask for their best cash offer.

***Because the moment they realize you’re ready to buy today, you become a valuable customer.

Now, if an agent tells you:

“Sir, cash kasi, wala kaming unit.”

Don’t get angry.

Just smile and say:

“No problem. Let me know when you have one. Meanwhile, I’ll check another dealer.”

Then walk.

Because your money doesn’t belong to that showroom.

Your money belongs to you.

And one more thing, Jayson.

Don’t automatically assume that cash is always financially superior to financing. If a legitimate financing promotion gives you a substantially better total transaction price, sometimes the numbers can surprise you.

Wag ka mag Ask:

“Cash or financing—which is better?”

Ask:

“Which option gives me the lowest total cost of ownership?”

That’s the question a smart buyer asks.

🐼 Panda Says:

Don’t be intimidated dahil you’re a cash buyer.

You don’t need to fight the dealership.

You don’t need to threaten the agent.

You simply need to understand how the dealership makes money, know exactly what you’re willing to pay, and be willing to walk away.

Because the strongest position in a car negotiation isn’t being the loudest guy in the showroom.

It’s being the guy who is perfectly comfortable saying, “Okay, I’ll buy somewhere else.”

And remember, Jayson…

The car is theirs.

But the money is yours.

So make them earn it. 🐼

Number

 Number next to "of" is the denominator. The number next to is is the numerator.

Pambihirang buhay ito.

“Kinsenas-katapusan may buwis, tapos yung education, healthcare, at public transportation, bulok pa rin. Pambihirang Pilipinas ’to!”

Kinsenas-katapusan,

may kinakaltas sa sweldo.

Nagnenegosyo ka,

may tax at fees.

Bumibili ka ng pang-araw-araw,

may buwis pa rin sa 

maraming produkto at serbisyo.

Kaya natural lang na 

umasa ang isang Pilipino na:

“Sana naman, ramdam ko 

rin kung saan napupunta ang binabayad ko.”

Pero pagdating sa education,

marami pa ring problema sa 

classrooms, learning resources, at access.

Sa healthcare,

maraming pamilya ang 

natatakot sa hospital bills.

Sa public transportation,

oras, siksikan, at mahabang pila 

pa rin ang kalaban ng commuters.

Hindi naman ibig sabihin na 

walang ginagawang tama ang gobyerno.

May mga proyekto at 

serbisyong nakakatulong.

Pero kung patuloy tayong nagbabayad,

dapat patuloy ding gumaganda 

ang serbisyong natatanggap natin.

Kasi hindi naman libre ang buwis.

Pinaghihirapan natin.

Oras.

Pagod.

Sweldo.

Kita ng negosyo.

Kaya bilang taxpayer, 

valid lang na itanong:

“Saan napupunta ang pera ko, 

at bakit hindi ko ramdam ang 

halaga nito sa araw-araw kong buhay?”

Hindi sapat na mahusay lang ang

gobyerno sa pagdating sa collection.

Dapat mahusay din 

itong maghatid ng serbisyo.

Kasi ang tunay na sukatan 

ng tax system ay hindi lang 

kung magkano ang nakokolekta.

Makikita rin ito sa kalidad ng 

buhay ng mga taong nagbabayad.

Linawin ko lang...

I’m not saying na ibenta mo agad yung stocks mong may loss. 

Hindi rin ako basher ng long-term investing. 

Huwag nyo ko i-judge please. 😂

But this might help you see kung patience pa ba ang kailangan mo or talagang need mo na ng stock review. 🙂

I checked what would have happened if you invested ₱10,000 in each of the current Top 10 PSE companies by market capitalization, then held the shares from July 29, 2016 to July 30, 2026.

After 10 years... 

➡ ICT grew from ₱10,000 to ₱153,125.

➡ BDO, BPI, and MER also ended higher.

➡ SM, SMPH, AC, MBT, TEL, and GLO were still below their July 2016 prices.

Your total ₱100,000 would have grown to around ₱232,066.

Okay sana.

Kaso ₱153,125 doon came from ICT alone. 😆

Without ICT, the ₱90,000 invested in the other nine stocks would be worth around ₱78,941.

Parang group project lang.

May isang bumuhat, may tatlong may ambag…

Tapos yung iba, moral support. 😂

Sinadya kong hindi isama ang dividends because we’re looking at one specific belief... 

“Hold lang. Tataas din ang share price niyan.”

Familiar ba? 😂😂😂

Dividends are important and can improve your total return or offset some price losses.  

Pero price movement lang muna ang hinihimay natin dito. 😉

Ten years later, 6 of the 10 stocks were still below their starting prices.

So if you have a stock that has been red for years, hindi sapat na tingnan lang kung gaano mo na siya katagal hawak.

Always go back to your “why.”

Bakit mo siya piniling bilhin?

Okay pa ba ang business at earnings?

May reason pa bang maniwala sa future growth?

Ano bang meron sa stock na ’yan na wala sa iba? Hahaha. 😂

Seriously…

If the reason is still valid, then go ahead and keep holding. 😉

Pero kung ang only reason mo na lang ay... 

“Sayang, ang tagal ko nang hawak yung stock na ’to. What if mag-recover?”

Eh, what if hindi? 😆

Baka yung time invested mo na ang hinahawakan mo, hindi na yung company. 😅

Walang loyalty points sa stock market.

Hindi porket naka-10 years ka na, may free profit sa eleventh year. 😂

Don’t sell just because may loss.

But don’t hold just because matagal na rin.

Hold habang valid pa ang reason mo.

Okay? 😁

Ikaw, may stock ka ba na matagal mo ng hawak?

Kamusta naman sya?

Gusto lang maka uwi.

Iniwan ang kotse sa mall parking at nag-motor para lang makauwi. First time. Buwis-buhay.

Shout out ​kay Kuys JoyRide driver kahapon, maraming salamat sa safe ride! Sa halos 5 km na biyahe at pagsuong sa baha - pinagsuot mo 'ko ng kapote, pero may nakalimutan ka atang ipasuot... HELMET! 😅

​Matindi ang karanasan nating lahat kahapon. Walang galawan ang mga sasakyan sa Marcos Highway at Felix Avenue. Stranded ang mga kapwa natin commuter, at karamihan naglalakad na lang sa gitna ng baha. No choice ako kundi mag-motor para lang makauwi.

​Tunay na buwis-buhay! Sinagupa namin ang malakas na buhos ng ulan, hampas ng hangin sa mukha, at ang mataas na baha sa Felix Avenue, Karangalan, at F. Legaspi. Kahit basang-basa ang pantalon at balat kong sapatos, nakahinga rin ako nang maluwag nang makarating sa bahay sa Pasig. Buti na lang balot sa plastik-labo ang celpon at wallet ko!

​Nagbayad ako ng ₱100 sa fare at nagbigay ng ₱150 na tip kasi sobrang pasasalamat ko na nakauwi ako nang buhay at ligtas. Kaso papasok na ako ng gate nang biglang nagtanong si Kuya:

​"Sir, 'yung helmet po?"

​Tinitigan ko muna siya. Nautal siya nang marealize niya: "Wala kayong helmet, Sir?!"

​Sagot ko: "Wala! Kanina ko pa itinatanong sa'yo nung sumasakay ako kung bakit wala akong helmet, 'di mo 'ko pinapansin!"

​Driver: "Sorry po, Sir... Naiwan ko pala don sa mesa sa pick-up point." 😭

​Lessons Learned:

​Kapote over Helmet. Sa gitna ng bagyo at baha, mas takot si Kuya na magka-sipon ka kaysa sa mabasag ang ulo mo. Priorities!

​Mas Mahal pa ang Tip sa Pamasahe. Paglagpas mo sa baha nang buhay, 'di mo na maiisip ang ₱100 fare - ₱150 na tip agad ibibigay mo bilang pasasalamat sa pangalawang buhay!

​Plastik-Labo Is Life. Kahit basang-basa ang sapatos at sira ang araw mo sa baha, basta naka-plastik labo ang phone at wallet - panalo ka pa rin sa buhay!

​Dasal ang Tunay na Armor. Kung wala kang helmet, ang tanging proteksyon mo na lang sa kalsada ay malalim na pananampalataya at matinding kapit sa belt ng rider.

​Tahimik si Kuya = Kumapit Ka Na Lang. Kapag hindi sumagot ang rider nung itinatanong mo 'yung helmet bago bumiyahe, ibig sabihin lang nun: "Boss, 'wag ka na magtanong, pareho lang tayong gustong makauwi." 😅

SDO

Ang bigat ng liquidation documents under a confidential fund audit lies on the integrity of the certification by the Special Disbursing officer as attested by the Head of the Agency.

Sino nga ba ang SDO, ano ang kanyang role:

See below:

Mainam na linawin ang ginawa ni Gina Acosta ay hindi pagdisburse kung hindi pag-transfer ng buong cash advance, na mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ng JC 2015-001.

Bilang isang SDO, sya mismo ang dapat magbayad sa mga payees/ beneficiaries at humingi na kaukulang patunay ng naganap/ natanggap ang pera.

Siya rin ang dapat mag-record sa kanyang Cash Disbursement Journal.

Kaya nga sya ang pumipirma sa Certification na mahalagang supporting document sa liquidation ng SDO.

Sa paglagda nya sa Certification ay pinapatunayan nyang, ginastos nya ang nasabing pondo sa confidential activities.

Paano nya ito masasabi kung buo nyang inilipat ang Cash Advance sa iba?

Paano kaya yung bond na sa kanya nakapangalan? 

Magkano kaya ang maximum amount ng bond. Pasok kaya ang buong halaga ng checks na naencash nya.

Ano ba ang hinahanap sa isang SDO ng confidential funds?

Hindi po yung kaalaman nya sa National Security kung hindi, ang mga sumusunod:

Ano ang sinasabi ng JC pag-dating sa mga tama at hindi tamang pag-gamitan?

Ano ang tamang pag-iingat ng confidential funds?

Anu-ano ang mga record at report, supporting documents, evidence of payment na kailangan upang malinaw na nagamit sa tama ang pondong ipinagkatiwala?

Anu-ano ang basehan ng pagbabayad?

Malinaw at matagumpay ang prosecution sa pagpapalabas ng mahalagang katotohanan…

Base daw sa utos sa taas.

Iyon ang malinaw!
