Lifted from Krizette Laureta Chu Content of my “excuse letter” to HOR that Dan Fernandez didn’t read on air.  REP. DAN S FERNANDEZ Lead Chairperson Committee on Public Order and Safety  Feb. 4, 2025 Dear Rep. Fernandez, Hope you are well. This is in reference to your invitation to the joint inquiry / congressional hearing on social media regulation, held upon the request of Rep. Ace Barbers to question POGO and NARCO vloggers, and those who spread fake news. After careful consideration, I would like to respectfully turn down your invitation due to these following reasons: 1.

Lifted from Duterte Iron Fist EDITORIAL: THE VENDICATION OF VP SARA Duterte and the Integrity of Leadership By OPTIC Politics | January 28, 2025 The dismissal of the complaint against Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio and Col. Raymund Dante Petina Lachica marks a decisive moment in the ongoing political narrative of the Philippines. The case, riddled with unsubstantiated claims and insufficient evidence, serves as a sobering reminder of the lengths to which detractors will go to discredit individuals who embody strength, resolve, and leadership. At the heart of this controversy is the alleged transfer of Atty. Zuleika Tanglao Lopez, VP Sara’s Chief of Staff, under what the complainant described as “disputed circumstances.” From the outset, the allegations of direct assault, disobedience to authority, and grave coercion appeared tenuous. The Department of Justice’s resolution, highlighting the absence of corroborating evidence and reliance on inconclusive video footage, ex...

Interesting Facts When a mature coconut falls from its palm tree and remains undisturbed, an incredible transformation takes place.   Within the tough outer shell, the coconut water begins to be absorbed by the inner seed, giving rise to a fascinating structure known as the “coconut apple” or “sprouted coconut.” This unique formation has a soft, fluffy, cotton-like texture and a sweet, juicy flavor that is both delicious and nourishing.   As the coconut apple grows, it provides essential nutrients to the developing embryo inside the seed. These nutrients are vital for the germination process, enabling the embryo to sprout and eventually grow into a new coconut tree.   The coconut apple plays a crucial role in this natural cycle, ensuring the survival and propagation of coconut palms in tropical regions. 🥥   Credit: Earth Unreal    #didyouknow #didyouknowfacts #DidYouKnow #interestingfacts #funfacts
