Viral: Netizen shares P149 Cable Internet bill from Cine Cebu

The Internet has become a necessity in our daily life especially now that almost everyone is working from home. Cebuanos have also struggled with the effects of super typhoon Odette amidst the pandemic which makes it harder.

So, having an internet service that has the initiative to disconnect during those times when everyone cannot access the net due to lack of electricity is something to be praised indeed.

Mars Catiquista shared on Facebook that her internet bill is only 149 Pesos which were far from its original usual bill of P1,499.

Flexing her internet provider, Cine Cebu Television Network Incorporated (CCTNi) which is a newcomer in the internet provider services, she shared her gratefulness to the company’s initiative.

“Good day our dearest Subscriber: The bill (SOA) that was sent to you was already adjusted since Cince Cebu Management decided to disconnect all the subscriber’s account that was effective last Dec. 16, 2021.”- Cine Cebu Billing Staff

Yes. We sure don’t need to be fined for those days that we don’t even have access to. It was a state of calamity and still, most of those telecoms have not considered this. The internet bills that came were still intact, just like that.

“I’m so thankful. Gaan ra kaayo sa bulsa. And dali ra kaayo na restore ako internet connection because their customer service rep was so responsive and paspas molihok sa imo request. I just wanna appreciate them. Because of them, I immediately went back working from home.”
– Mars

Though not yet as popular as Globe and PLDT, she claims they’re worth the price.

It’s official! Netflix’s Squid Game is getting a Second Season

“The ‘Squid Game’ universe has just begun.”

These were the exact words of Ted Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO and chief content officer, as he confirms the second season of Netflix’s breakout hit of 2021.

‘Squid Game’ premiered on Netflix in September 2021 and the South Korean survival film quickly soared to the top of the charts, racking up 1.65 billion viewing hours in less than a month.

Previously, ‘Squid Game’ creator Hwang Dong-hyuk also confirmed that the hit series would be renewed for a second season.

“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice!” Hwang told the Associated Press last November 2021.

Lee Jung-jae, the lead actor portraying Seong Gi-hun, is reportedly coming back for the new season. The last time we saw Player 456, he won the games and took home the golden prize of ₩45.6 billion prize pool (about $38.5 million). Instead of flying to see his daughter, Gi-Hun appears to be on the lookout for the game’s mastermind as he tries to “do something for the world.”

The Netflix series is truly remarkable as it made history by becoming the first non-English-language series and the first Korean series to be nominated at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards for cast in a drama series, actor in a drama series (Lee Jung-jae), actress in a drama series (Jung Ho-yeon), and stunt ensemble.

In addition, “Squid Game” took home three Golden Globe Awards, including best TV drama and a supporting actor award for O Yeong-su. The show was also nominated for three Critics’ Choice Awards and won the Gotham Award for Best Breakthrough Series.

According to confidential corporate data released to Bloomberg, Netflix spent $21.4 million for the first season of “Squid Game” and estimates the series will generate $891 million in “impact value.”

Release Date

The first season took two years to complete so it’s unlikely to see the second one until 2023. Hopefully, we get to see the new season sometime in 2024 or 2025.

Vax card not required for employment, gov’t transactions in Cebu Province

“A no vaccine, no work policy shall not be allowed.”

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia’s latest memo Memorandum No. 2 – 2022 with the subject “Covid-19 vaccination” subhead “Vaccination cards shall not be mandatory requirements for any educational, employment, and other similar government transaction purpose.” was signed on Wednesday, January 19, 2022.

This memorandum was addressed to all the mayors in Cebu province as there were many questions and speculations from the public in this regard.

This is also in accordance with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) advisory 03 series of 2021 that employees are encouraged only and if said employees refuse, they shall not be discriminated against.

The Department of Education (DepEd) also assured that there is no discrimination in having vaxxed teachers for in-person classes as this is just a precautionary measure to protect the teachers and students both. Teachers who choose not to be vaccinated will not be terminated simply by being unvaxxed.

It was pressed that the memo was for strict compliance and guidance as the governor also emphasized repeatedly that the law is very clear on this.

“I think the law is very clear. How else can we interpret other than saying that there shall be no mandatory requirement of vaccine card so that people may enter establishments? May enter schools? May go to work or may enter government buildings or avail of government services?”
— Gwen Garcia, Cebu Governor

Requirement or not, we are still encouraged to get vaccinated for our own safety.

Baby Shark sets world record with 10 Billion Views on YouTube

Even adults are also going crazy about it!

Baby Shark, the aquatic-themed earworm that toddlers and preschoolers alike are fascinated with, has reached a new milestone.

The hit song, which was produced by Pinkfong, is YouTube’s most-watched video and the only one to exceed 10 billion views. It was uploaded on YouTube in June 2016.

Baby Shark surpassed “Despacito,” a Spanish-language song from Luis Fonsi featuring reggaeton king Daddy Yankee, which had set the previous record of 7.04 billion views in November 2020.

“It has been a truly meaningful journey to witness how Baby Shark has connected people around the world, and we can’t wait to introduce Baby Shark’s further adventures that will bring unparalleled experiences to even more fans everywhere.”
– Min-seok Kim, CEO of The Pinkfong Co.

The song “Baby Shark” is thought to have started as a campfire song in the early twentieth century.

During the chant, campers used their arms to imitate Baby Shark, Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark, Grandma Shark, and Grandpa Shark’s varied jaw shapes and sizes.

Hope Segoine, who was 10 years old at the time, sang Baby Shark, which reached No. 32 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 38 on the Global 200.

Viral: Funny Bisaya Moments when in Manila

2022 may have placed all our plans on halt, but Pinoys, specifically Bisaya, can always see the silver lining.

One concrete example is this video posted by hopiadeduma on TikTok about the ‘Funny Bisaya Moments in Manila.’

The video was about the Bisaya who have either relocated or traveled to Manila. They shared their hilarious experiences while in Manila. They were also able to compare and contrast Filipino words from Bisaya.

My favorite would have to be the one commented by George Christian saying: “Patawarin nyo po kami” when haggling in Divisoria.

A lot of Bisaya have actually shared their experiences which have gone viral. This is a nice avenue for us to be able to laugh and be happy amidst adversities. Watch the video here:

May this inspire not only the Bisaya, but everyone all across the globe to always look for things to be happy about. We all need to be one another’s source of happiness.

Watch: Bisaya dialogue in Cartoon Network’s Craig of the Creek

We always get that indescribable excitement when we hear our own language is being used in international movies or series.

I know I couldn’t stress this enough, but I hope you are getting my excitement. The Philippine flag deserves to be seen yet again, in the international scene, after the Bisaya representation was shown on Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network animated series ‘Craig of the Creek’ has featured Eileen’s grandmother, who happens to be a Bisaya on the animated film. Her grandmom was heard to be speaking in Bisaya when being introduced to Craig.

Apart from speaking in Bisaya, it was also observed that some of the Filipino practices have been shown. Craig was then observed to have done the ‘mano po’ to Eileen’s grandmother, which was obviously part of the Filipino culture.

This is such a proud moment for the Filipinos, especially the Bisaya.
