Viral Blue Man Receives 30k and a Job Offer from Mayor Jonas Cortes

A father’s sacrifice for his family is the noblest thing of all.

If you’ve been to Facebook lately, you’ve probably already heard of the “Blue Man” or “Human Statue” in Colon. Marvin Lastimoso, 38 years old, from Salvacion Barangay Maguikay, is the person behind the “Blue Man.”

When his photos went viral, people had different reactions. A lot of people even found it funny. But they don’t know that Marvin is doing it to provide for his family. He paints his whole body blue, and under the scorching sun, he poses on a cement pedestal.

And his efforts did not go to waste. Just recently, the mayor of Mandaue City, Mayor Joans Cortes, has given Marvin ₱30,000 worth of monetary aid to help him and his family with their daily needs. Not only that, but the mayor also promised that he would give Marvin a stable job.

Thus, another reason to restore our faith in humanity. A react, and share can go a long way, and with the help of Netizens, the Blue Man was given a voice and a chance to turn his life around.

With your dedication and hard work, Marvin, aka “Blue Man,” SALUDO MI NIMO.

You Won’t Believe What’s in Store for the Official Launch of Counter-Strike 2 this Summer 2023

The summer season is coming in hot as Counter-Strike 2 officially launches in Summer 2023.

Photo from CounterStrike on Twitter

On the official Counter-Strike Twitter account, they tweeted about how CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) is an “overhaul to every system, every piece of content, and every part of the C-S experience”.

Along with their official announcement, they teased new amazing features, especially with the smoke grenades. In CS2, smoke grenades have become dynamic. They can create 3D objects, react to lighting, grow to fill spaces, and more.  

You can watch the video here:

The game’s visual has also been upgraded, and the maps have been reworked. Currently, only a few selected people have access to CS2’s limited test. The players are chosen based on recent playtime on Valve’s official servers, trust factors, and their Steam account standing.

Photo from CounterStrike on Twitter

The developers of CS2 are also urging gamers to be careful with scams. According to them, the Limited Tests can only be checked by launching CS:GO through Steam.

CS2 dawns a new era as it is the “largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike’s History,” as expressed by Valve, the official developers of CS:GO.

For more updates and information, you can visit Counter-Strike’s official website.

Well, once this game officially launches, expect gamers to disappear from the face of the earth. Where to find them? Probably, in their gaming chairs, playing the revolutionary tactical first-person shooter game of the year.

Gcash Rolls out DoubleSafe, features security selfie scan

Scammers work hard, but Gcash works harder.

Gcash rolls out a new security feature called DoubleSafe. Gcash DoubleSafe prevents unauthorized transactions through a selfie scan and additional OTP.

Photo from Unsplash

The selfie scan is only for fully verified users. The new feature makes use of facial recognition. With this feature, users can only access their account on a new device by scanning the owner’s face. In addition, DoubleSafe only activates when you log in to a new device.

Meanwhile, the additional OTP is for non-verified users, where a one-time code will be sent to their phone numbers.

DoubleSafe ensures that you are the only one who has access to your account on any device. If you remember, Gcash only had two-factor authentication: a one-time PIN (OTP) and a Mobile PIN (MPIN).

The feature is available to limited users as of now. However, Gcash assures users that it will soon be readily available for all.

Photo from GCash

How to link your device with Gcash DoubleSafe

Linking your device with Gcash DoubleSafe is fairly simple. You just have to follow the steps below:

For Fully Verified Users:

  1. Open your Gcash App and input your mobile number. Tap Next
  2. Tap send Code
  3. Enter OTP
  4. Tap MPIN Login and enter your MPIN
  5. Prepare for your selfie scan and tap next
  6. Take your selfie scan.

Note: Make sure your selfie is clear and has no other people in the background. Users must also show their entire face and wear proper attire. To ensure a successful selfie, wait for the camera to finish scanning your face.

Photo from GCash

For Non-Verified Users:

  1. Open your Gcash App and input your mobile number. Tap Next
  2. Tap send Code
  3. Enter OTP
  4. Tap MPIN Login and enter your MPIN
  5. Enter the OTP

This move by Gcash further elevates and strengthens their anti-scam campaigns. Gcash also reminds the public to be vigilant. Refrain from opening unfamiliar links, never share personal information, and always double-check before purchasing through Gcash.

Head to the Gcash Help Center via the app or click here to report scams and other suspicious activities. Open chat with Gigi and choose the option “I want to report a scam.”

Here’s a List of Documents You Should Bring to Pass Through the Immigration

Have you heard of the news about a traveler who missed her flight because of a “lengthy” immigration interview? That’s something no one should ever go through.

Photo from Unplash

Just this month, a video of a girl who missed her flight because of Immigration went viral. Cham Tanteras shared her ridiculous experience with Immigration. According to her, the immigration officer even required her to present her yearbook and graduation photo. She had already missed her flight when she was finally allowed to travel.

Cham is one of many with a dreadful experience. Other Filipinos experienced the same thing. Yikes!

Many travelers have resorted to bringing diplomas and other documents to avoid going through what Tanteras did. So, what exactly should you bring to pass through Immigration? We have compiled a list of the different documents you must have.

Documents You Should Bring to Pass Through Immigration

Immigration officials require specific documents to ensure that travelers have the legal right to travel outside the country. See the list of essential documents you must prepare when leaving the Philippines.

1. Passport

When traveling abroad, a passport is a MUST. Your passport must be valid for six months from the date of departure. It must also have two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Make sure your passport is not damaged or altered.

2. Visa

Some countries require a visa. You have to make sure that you have a valid visa. The visa must also be appropriate for your intended travel purpose. You should also have a transit visa if you are connecting to a different country.

Photo from Unplash

3. Return Ticket

Yes, a return ticket is also an important document. Some airlines and countries will ask you to present proof of onward travel. Return tickets can be in the form of a flight, bus, train tickets, or reservation confirmation. The ticket must be valid and show the date before your stay in your country’s destination expires.

Photo from Unplash

4. Travel Itinerary

As much as possible, you should have a detailed travel itinerary that includes the following:

  • Flights
  • Accommodations
  • Activities during your trip

A detailed travel itinerary can help your destination country’s immigration officials to understand your visiting purpose and duration.

Photo from Unplash

5. Proof of Financial Capacity

You should prepare a proof of financial capacity from bank statements to other financial documents. There are immigration officers in some countries that may ask for proof that you can fund your travel expenses during your stay. The amount required will depend on your stay’s duration and the activities you plan to do.

6. Health Certificate

Some countries may still require a health certificate or a negative COVID-19 test result. Be sure to check the latest travel and entry requirements before traveling.

7. Company ID

Sometimes Immigration officers ask for a company ID if you have one. This is to prove that you won’t apply for any job opportunities in the country you will be visiting.

8. Address and Contact Number Abroad

Just in case, here are other documents you may bring:

  1. Hotel Reservation
