ECQ need pa ba ng qpass if vaccinated na?
Hello po ask ko lang, nung humihingi po kasi ako ng qpass sa barangay hindi na ako binigyan kasi pwede naman daw yung vaccination card. Pero kanina may kapitbahay akong hindi pinapasok sa isang establishment (kempmart para mag grocery) dahil walang qpass pero pinakita naman nya yung vaccination card niya hindi pa rin pinapasok. Yung question ko po is pwede kaya akong pumasok ng 7/11? Kahit walang qpass? I know my question may sound stupid, nakakalito lang kasi talaga mga pamamalakad nila. Ang gulo. Caloocan po ako.
This day in history [August 6]
On August 6, 1945, the United States becomes the first and only nation to use atomic weaponry during wartime when it drops an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Approximately 80,000 people are killed as a direct result of the blast, and another 35,000 are injured. At least another 60,000 would be dead by the end of the year from the effects of the fallout. "Little Boy" was the codename for the type of atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 during World War II. "Fat Man" is the codename for the type of nuclear bomb that was detonated over the Japanese city of Nagasaki by the United States on 9 August 1945. It was the second of the only two nuclear weapons ever used in warfare. source:Google

Engineers in Japan just shattered the world record for the fastest internet speed!
Engineers achieved a data transmission rate of 319 Terabits persecond (Tb/s). The new record was made on a line off fibersmore than 1,864 miles (3,000 km) long. And, crucially, it is compatible with modern-day cable infrastructure. This could literally change everything. Note well: we can't stress enough how fast this transmission speedis. It's nearly double the previous record of 178 Tb/s, which was set in 2020. And it's seven times the speed of the earlier record of 44.2 Tb/s, set with an experimental photonic chip. NASA itself uses a comparatively primitive Speed of 400 Gb/s, and the new record soars impossibly high above what ordinary consumers can use (the fastest of which maxes out at 10 Gb/s for home internet connections).
Acting President Leni Robredo
From https://usa.inquirer.net/70605/70605 By: Boying Pimentel “Being president doesn’t change who you are — no, it reveals who you are,” Michelle Obama said nine years ago when Barack Obama’s running for a second term. We are seeing this principle play out in the Philippines. Being president of the Philippines has revealed Rodrigo Duterte. It has exposed who he is. It has uncovered how he really views power, leadership, decency and the significance of being president. He has declared recently that he is having a great time as president, even as the nation reels from a pandemic and from the mass killings he inspired. It was his way of hitting back, like a gloating child, at a prominent critic: “Kami dito...
