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.

10-year-old girl already a multimillionaire owning two companies

“She can retire at 15 if she wants to.”

This is what Pixie Curtis’ mother shared as her 10-year-old daughter currently owns two companies that are making huge profits. Her savings in the bank have piled up to the point that she can afford to retire at the age of 15.

Photo from @pixiespixonline | Instagram

Yes. We are all envious of this wonder entrepreneur kid from Australia. Pixie has set up her toy company while she is still in elementary school.

With the help of her mother, Roxy Jacenko, Pixie started “Pixie’s Fidgets” launched last year in which the toys sold out in less than 48 hours.

Quite a feat for a child and of course coming from a mother that is a businesswoman as well who owns several successful businesses, we are not that shocked. Pixie’s other company is something that her mother started when she was a baby, “Pixie’s Bows”.

Both businesses’ mother company “Pixie’s Pix”, sells other games and accessories for children.

“Our family joke has been I’ll be working till I’m 100 and Pixie will have retired at 15 – I certainly know who’s smarter.”- Roxy Jacenko, Pixie’s mom

A businesswoman and a social media star, Pixie has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram where she shares her personal life as well as speaks about her business ventures and purchases.

Despite all this success, her mother worries and told Pixie that if she doesn’t want to be involved with her companies anymore, they can reassess. She doesn’t want her to feel pressured and feel like she has to work but have seen that for now, she is happy learning so much.

Filipino artist shares The Further Adventures of Ned’s Lola in ‘Spiderman No Way Home’

Ben Deguzman shared on his Twitter account @abouthebenjamin a fun and interesting fan-made sequel to the newly released Spiderman No Way Home.

Spiderman No Way Home is an amazing movie for its storyline and the grand reveal of 3 spidermen but most of all for us Filipinos, seeing Ned’s Lola.

The Filipino representation was so strong in this movie with Ned and Lola, it was one of its most memorable parts as it showed the true nature of a Filipino grandmother.

Ned’s Lola was so badass and blunt which inspired this comic covers.

There are scenes of her adventures in dealing with the villains in the movie. It showed how Lola can defeat them just by being a Filipino. Venom would be eaten as his color is like Dinuguan. Green Goblin would be erased with a cross. Sandman is the funniest as he will experience death by being swept.

There is also MJ being the pandesal waster and Lola rearing to fight her or scold her because of it.

A Filipino’s humor is truly unique and unparalleled.

Philippines, one of the safe havens if the world ends: Scientists

Should we just prepare for the end of the world?

As with everything that is going on in our world, we might as well expect for the worst. The seemingly unending global pandemic, all the deaths, global warming, forest fires, the ice glaciers melting, racism at its worst, and the threat of becoming zombies in the future.

Now, if the apocalypse truly happens, will we survive? 

The answer for us Filipinos is we actually might as scientists have mapped out the safe havens for humans to go to if the world goes to shit.

Researchers from the University of Otago, New Zealand, have presented here a list on where to survive: 

  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Iceland
  • Malta
  • Japan
  • Cape Verde
  • Bahamas
  • Trinidad and Tobago
  • Barbados
  • Madagascar
  • Cuba
  • Mauritius
  • Fiji
  • Maldives
  • Sri Lanka
  • Comoros
  • Solomon Islands
  • Jamaica
  • Philippines
  • Vanuatu

So, the criteria for this list of 20 countries were 1) good physical location, 2) natural resources and 3) political harmony(relatively). 

All these places are isolated islands with the resources like food and energy production and technology for people to take refuge from whatever is out there in the world like diseases which are very appropriate today or let’s not forget zombies.

Photo from Unsplash

The trick for all these countries to be safe havens is if it cuts off from the world and rebuilds civilization.

It is not surprising really to have our country as a safe haven as we are very rich in natural resources compared to other countries and add with it our geography and isolating won’t really be a problem.

Free COVID-19 TeleConsultations in Cebu

With Cebu having been recording at least 800 COVID cases daily since January 15, a lot of Cebuanos are literally sick now. But not everyone knows what to do and what medicines to buy.

The good news though, Cebu residents can now seek medical advice from physicians without going to the hospitals with the launching of the Cebu COVID-19 TeleGaBAI by Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC).

This service is in partnership with the Philippine College of Physicians, the Cebu Medical Society, and other local medical societies.

Cebu COVID-19 TeleGaBAI

The public can consult physicians by calling the TeleGABAI hotline numbers or sending a message through the official Facebook page.

Contact:

Doctors from different provincial and district hospitals and even patients can ask for medical assistance from their medical experts via the Cebu TeleGaBAI.

The VSMMC initiated the 24/7 Cebu Covid-19 TeleGaBAI program to help decongest the Cebu emergency rooms and hospitals from asymptomatic and mild patients.

The program provides a venue for licensed doctors to guide and advise patients and their families to manage their infections at home.

Please quarantine immediately if you have known exposure to a COVID-positive or suspect patient. Isolate yourself if you have symptoms.
